BALTIC SMUGGLERS
HAVE GOOD MARKET
Rum Running Proves to Be a
Profitable Business With Them

Copenhagen, March Rum, no,
specifically the sugar cane product OF
Jamaica and Cuba, but rather any
kind of alcoholic beverage stronger
than ciaret and beer. is the basis of a
smuggling trade in the Scandinavian
countries and Finland that rapidly is
assuming national proportions.
Most OF 1t comes from Germany.
There it costs one crown n liter, and
1t finds a ready sale elsewhere at six
crowns: hence there is a fine margin
OF profit for the rum runner. Fin
land is dry country, so there is no
question of the market. Norway also
is dry, but with certain limitations.
Spain and Portugal compel her to ac-
cept certain amount every year of
wines like port and sherry, else they
would not buy her fish. and Norway
must sell her fish. Sweden has in OPP
Grafton a system of rationing which
permits limited consumption, whilo
in Denmark there is no limit what
ever, every man can drink as much as
he can afford to buy. But here the
duty is Enthusiastically high. and cost is
the only prohibitive agent.
Occasionally the runners lose Il
cargo. but this matters not SO very
much, for the profits easily take care
of any such incident. The customs
police on shore have been strengthen
ed. and the authorities are watchful,
but nevertheless the smuggers are
having it nearly all their own way.
The reason would seem to be that
they are just little bit smarter than

Chicago, March 2. (By Associated

Their record has been held up 10
the world for nearly 800 years as a

camped in the field about Piraeus
after the Smyrna disaster had driven
100000 men, women and children
from Syria.
The condition of the refugee CAMPS
was almost indescribable. according
to DR.. Writ. Stripped of the veneer
of ordinary life, most of the refu-
gees quickly reverted to a state below
the lowest savages. There were no
sanitary facilities.
Four hundred of the Armenians,
refusing to be crushed by their mis-
fortunes, appealed to the Near East
Relief missioner in Athens for a
separate piece of clean ground where
they could get away from the filth of
the general refugee camps. Their
request was granted.
Immediately the 400 started work
making mud bricks. which they baked
in the sun. Quickly the mud walls
of nearly 100 little huts rose five or
six feet into the air. Then the work
halted.
Another committee visited the re-

FAMOUS SH|PYARD
Residential SITE
Many Yachts Were Built at This
Place Near Marblehead Cliffs

Marblehead, Mass, March 2.-The
shipyard at the edge OF the Marble
head cliffs where many famous yachts
were built, and aircraft later were
manufactured, is to be changed soon
into a residential site.
In 1905 w. Starting Burgess. a ma
val architect purchased the land and
erected a yacht building plant. He
constructed marine railway, and the
rock was blasted to prepare channel
which would accommodate vessels
with draft of IL feet. Another ad-
junct to the yard was the Ok. a So
foot steamer designed for towing. Mr..
Burgess carried both pilots and en-
gineer's licenses to operate the ship.
Later Mrs, Burgess was granted pilots
papers, and came into prominence as
the only woman pilot on the coast.
The first boat to take shape was
the Pontiac, for George Silsbee. Many
were successful in championship races
in Boston, New York, New Orleans
and other racing centers.
In 1907 the 110-foot gasoline pas
senger boat Pneland of 300 horse
power was built for Hayden e Co. of
New Orleans. The Pineland was one
of the first vessels to be propelled
successfully by motor.
Airplane construction was begun in
1909 and the first completed craft was
tested in February, 1910, by Mr.. Bur-
CESS. A. M. Herring and Norman
Prince. This fight was the first made
In New England.
In the summer of the same year
Mr.. Burgess opened testing and fly
ing station at Plum Island, near New
buryport and the product of the Mar
behead factory was taken to the sta
ton by the Ok. Claude Grahame-
White, British aviator, made the first
flight over the city of London in a
Marblehead- built airplane. In 1911
Harry N. Atwood attained fame by his
fight in Burgess plane from Marble
head to Washington. During the fall
of that year another of these planes
was fitted with pontoons and pilots

take off from the surface of the

Committee Delves

Teapot Dome Controversy Is

Washington. Jan. 17.-With Harry
F. Sinclair again as its chief witness,
the senate oil investigation committee
delved deeply today into the affairs of
the Sinclair Oil companies. but again
skirted the edges of the Teapot Dome
controversy, in which Mr. Sinclair
is one of the principals.
The committee, which is headed by
Senator La Toilette of Wisconsin, one
of the leading critics of the action of
the Harding administration in leasing
the Teapot Dome naval oil reserve in
wyoming to the Sinclair interests,
mad Mr.. Sinclair before it for more
than four hours. During that time
Gilbert +. Roe. the committee attor-
ney, asked detail after detail as to
the operations of the Sinclair COM
pany, but those who crowded the COM
mittee room expecting to see Chair
man La Toilette and the witness lock
horns over the Teapot Dome matter
had to leave without having heard the
words Teapot Dome spoken either
by the witness or his investigators.

she mid-continent field in 1920, when
the price of oil rose, within three
months, from s2.75 a barrel to $3.50
barrel, to continue at the higher
price throughout a portion Of 1921
and to be reflected in high gasoline
prices. Mr.. Sinclair, in long de-
tailed discussion of the matter, told
the committee the price increase, as
made by his company was due to
indications of a crude oil shortage and
although all the larger companies in
the field made increases almost
simultaneously. it was without con-
ference. incidentally, he declared that
higher prices for crude oil in the near
future might be expected.
The examination of Mr.. Sinclair
as to the pipe line company had to
do largely with its relations to the
STANDARD of Indiana and when the
inquiry turned TO the various Sinclair
refining companies the witness was
temporarily excused
