BIG RUM RUNNING PLAN
 REPORTED IN ONTARIO
Rochester Newspaper Publishes Sen- satlonal Story About Smuggling
 of Booze,

Rochester, N. r., Aug. 2s.--Fur- ther revelations of rum running on large scale along the Lake Ontar- 10 shore were contained today in a copyrighted story printed by the Rochester Journal and Post Express.
 A large liquor running craft last night between PultneYille and So- dus Bay, witnessing the activities of the smaller rum craft that came out for their cargoes.
 From the captain, says the story, the reporter learned that he pays nightly visits to the New York shore from Canada, always landing full cargo of ale and whiskey.
 Sure we make trips every night" the captain is quoted as saying. "ex- cept when it is too rough or when the boats engines give trouble"
 Tt won't do the customs authori- ties any good to look for us," he con- tinued, for we are here one night and another place the next. We have managed to elude them every time. In fact we have only seen once what we believed to have been customs boat. We expect to con- tinue operations until the lake freezes"
 The reporter declared the boat was equipped with a large search light and engines capable of making 30 knots an hour. It had no name.
