Use Machine Gun

ABOARD REVENUE CUTTER
| MANHATTAN OFF J + r S f Y
| COAST, June 20.--With bursts of
machine gun fire, the coast guard
cutter Manhattan at 1910 pm.
Tuesday frustrated an attempt to
run the whisky blockade II miles
eff New York harbor.
The Manhattan with its skipper
on the bridge, peeriug through the
darkness, had been cruising for two
hours in search of the rum fleet
when it came upon the Norwegian
steamer Bru transferring cases of
booze to q speed boat.
Through his night glasses he saw
a steamer dead ahead. The only
light was that of few stars and a
yellow scimitar of the moon hang
ing low in the sky. The cutter was
black, not q glimmer showing above
or below TO announce her stealthy
approach. We could plainly see the
smugglers. They had directed the
beam of a search light at the black
hull of speed boat cuddling along
side the steamer, and by this illum-
ination they were hard at work
passing whisky cases from one craft
to the other.
Above the swash of the waves
we could hear their voices rs the
cutter drifted nearer. They failed to
observe US until we had approached
to within 90 yards. The lights of
the Bru snapped out. Immediately
the Manhattan dashed full speed
ahead, the whistle tolling the sig
nal 10 halt. The black hulk of the
speed boat darted away from the
Bru and then lodged left and right
as if to confuse the cutters crew.
The captain of the Manhattan fired
the machine gun across the bow of
the boat which was now plainly Wis
ible inthe path of moonlight on the
dancing waters. Thereupon the
speed boat made off at fast clip.
The Manhattan continued firing,
wishing to frighten the srnugglers
into surrendering.
For - minutes the chase con-
tinued while the smugglers cast
their rich cargo of whisky in the
seas. There was burst after burst
of machine gun fire with sparks
flying from the muzzle of the gun.
By its tremendous speed the
smuggling craft finally outdistanced
the Manhattan and disappeared into
the darkness, heading for the New
JERSEY shore.

New System of
Handling Us e d
Cars Here Soon

That the Appleby plan for the dis
posal of used ears will be put into
effect in this city in the next few
weeks, under the name of the Certi-
fled Used Car Market was announ-
ced by by II. C. Jones today. This
method of handling second hand
ears has been thoroughly tried out
in Orange, Riverside and Santa Bar
bara counties, and has met with un-
qualified success. Based entirely on
a non-profit system which will en-
able the selling public to average
more for the ears which they wish
to dispose of, and also working to
the advantage of the purchasing
public, this plan is being heartily en-
dorscd by all who know its details.

James w. Cass and Rodney Hermon
form the board of governors, is in
Los Angeles now working out fur
