SHOTS STOP SMUGGLERS
Torpedo Boat, Orn, of Norway, Seat ters Rum Row and Captures Larg- est Vessel in Fleet.

Christiania, Jan. l5.---The Norwe. gian torpedo boat, Orn, recently broke up rum row Just beyond the threo-mile. limit off Hbaloer and cap tured one of the princoual offenders after 1t had defed the torpedo boat and then had been disabled by shot from the Orn. When discovered by the orn the rum row fleet was sur rounded by host of small motor boats and apparently was carrying on a brisk business.
 The smugglcrs and their cust omors made a hurried start toward Swedish territorial waters upon tho arrival Of the orn, but the latter pursued at full speed and directed it's attention in trying to separate a large Danish craft from the others.
 Warming shots were sent across the bow of the fugitive craft, but no at- tentlon was paid to them and tho commander of tho Orn directed his gunner to hole tho smugglcr in the bow. which he did on tho first shot. The smuggler then surrendered and was boarded by party from the Orn. Fourteen thousand liters of liquors were found on the rum runner.

ABUNDANCE OF TOBACCO
 BRINGS PRICES DOWN
Near East Market is Gluttcd Witt, Product Making the
 Demand Slight

Athens, Jan. 15.-The bumper to- bacco crop, common to all tobacco growing states in the Near East, is proving serious drawback to the prosperity of this region.
 The indications arc that the world market for the type of tobacco pro- duced in the Near East formerly designated as Turkish" is glutted with the product, and It's absorbing capacity is today greately limited, un- less producers in Turkey, Greece, Macedonia and Bulgaria are willing to accept much lower prices than they now demand.
 Turkey and Bulgaria have each from this years crop alone about s0,00o,000 pounds of leaf, and Greece has about l2o. .o0o,o00 pounds, chiefly raised in her Macedonian possessions
 All this tobacco is for the manufac- ture Of cigarettes alone. In the United States, for fhe purpose of manufacture, 1t is blended, chiefly with Virginia. It might possibly Do used for filler in the production of cigars, but that is stil question.
 The impracticability of manufac- turing cigars out of Turkish" tobac- co was simply proved in Bulgaria a few years ago, when an effort to build up a cigar making industry of native tobacco proved fiat failure. Turkish" tobacco does not passess a sufficiently large and tough leaf for the wrapper of n cigar. That is why the demand of American and western Europe for Near East tobacco Is limited.
 Tobacco in the Near East bears about the same relation to it's pros- perity that cotton bears to the pros- perity of the southern states of the United States. Tobacco is produced even more cheaply in the Balkans than cotton. is grown in the south.
 But it will not sell this year at anything like the figures for which the producers of the Near East are holding out. The failure to sell the crop at the beginning of winter al- ready is exerting an unfavombly in- fuence on Balkan finances.

 TRAFFIC POLICEMEN
Expresses Opinion Some Posts
 Now Covered Could Be Eliminated

Mayor A. M. Paonessa Believes the elimination of several traffic posts about the city should be given seri- ous consideration and although he would not say without thorough in vestigation that there are any at present covered needlessly, he has found that other cities have eliminat- ed posts without endaDgering traffic.
 The mayor recently attended the auto show in New York city and in motoring to the metropolis noticed that several busy corners that had been guarded by traffic man at other times were without a police man. His inquiries brought out the information that there is a movement for the elimination of traffic posts and that it is working out well.
