Coast Guard Asks Extent of Po,Uer
In Dealing With Hi-Jacki,g Menace

Coast Guard officials have asked
the Department of Justice for
legal enlightment on the question
of dealing with rum runners
turned hi-jackers.
Although the days of Capt. Kidd
have passed, the modern hi-jacker
of the sea has become so strong
that Coast Guard officials fear his
type may grow into the more seri-
Gus form of robbery of legitimate
cargoes as well as those on rum
row. The Coast Guard does not
know how far 1t can go, SO it
has asked the Attorney, General
whether 1t can apply the mailed
fist to the hi-jackers.
While the Coast Guards job of
protecting the shore line against
the smuggling of liquor. mer-

the sea lanes has been heavy, it

RUM KINGS ARE PUT

Life of Ease in Atlanta Prison
Ends With Custer of
Sartain.
By Consolidated Press.

by Consolidated Press.
ATLANTA, Ga, December 20.-Mil-
lionaire bootleggers may have lived
like lords a the Atlanta penitentiary
during the stewardship of Warden
Sartain, but they are scrubbing floors
washing dishes and waiting on the
table now.
When Warden Sartain and Deputy
Warden Fletcher were charged re-
Gently with accepting bribes to
smooth the prison path of bootleg
gers accustomed to lives of ease and
elegance, there was a general up
heaval at the prison. T. B. White
was made acting warden, and an iron
rule in regard to bootleggers is said
to have gone into effect.
Emmanuel Kessler of New York,
who Is said to have made a million
by devoting his talents to bootleg
ging, is scrubbing the floors. Morris
Sweetwood, his business associate, is
engaged in the same occupation
William Haar of Savannah. the
most prominent bootlegger Georgia
has produced, and rated in the mil
lionaire class, is waiting on the table.
Remux Still at Ease.
IL ls probable that never before
have bootleggers been brought to
such a pass. They are not only in
prison, but they are having to work.
whether the same unkind fate will
oYertake George Remus, millionaire
liquor distributor from Cincinnati, is
a mystery for the moment Until re-
Gently he Is known to have been
pleasantly occupied with congenial
tasks in the prison library.
Ihere are more bootleggers in the
Atlanta Federal penitentiary than
any other class of offenders. In fact.
the prison is fairly overrun with
them. The ordinary type, particular
ly the distillers from the North
Georgia mountains, make up a part
or the population of the prison farm,
where there is an honor system in
eHect and no guards, but plenty of
work. The weather class of liouor
sellers are kept in the penitentiary,
ana the charge Is made that some OF
them have had the standing of pay

NAVY CREW UNABLE

Sweeping aside departmental red

human kindness. Secretary of the

pletely equipped diving crew from

fort TO end the pathetically tireless

frustrated the frantic husbands reck-
less efforts to rescue her after she

attempt at diving in the heavy regu-

the New York branch is we'll in its
way to raise that sum.
One of the most successful means
for raising funds for the German

and acquaint the workers with the
plight of their fellows in Germany.
