'WHISKN KINGS OBJEGIIVES OF
 PR0HI AGENTS
Hargett Gives Orders To Go After All Liquor
 Sources At Once

Federal grand juries soon will start searching inquiries into liquor condi- tions in Shelby county and in copn- ties near the Georgia border in south Alabama, A. W. Hargett, state en- forcement officer for the government, announced Wednesday,.
 T look for startling disclosures and wholesale indictments" Hargett said.
 The director returned Monday from the eastern part of the state where a dozen big stills were destroyed and plans laid for a cleanup around Girard and Phenix City.
 Tuesday the director accompanied a squad of agents to Shelby county, where eight stills were smashed in the Allen cpmnunity. ' Red Liquor Source On the Geofgia border, Hargett says, red Hduor is 2 being smuggled through from Georgia ports in large quantities. In Shelby county much of corn liquor that is offered on the Bir- mingham curb market is manufactured, he asserts
 s. These two situations are causing us more trouble than the recent rum running developments in Mobile," Har- gett declared.
 It is learned that federal and state agents are being concentrated in Shel- by county for a rum drive that is expected to dry up Birmingham's chief source of hooeh. Director Hargett will be on the ground daily to personally direct the campaign.
 After Syndicate
 Tt is plain to us," Hargett con- tinued, that moonshining syndicate is operating in Shelby. It evidently is under contract to supply so much whisky per day for marketing in Bir- mingham. The men behind this con spiracy never go near the stills. They stay in the background and make their hirelings take all the risks.
 We are after the plotters, as well as the hired men, and we believe we have some of them spotted. The grand jury will be asked to sift the situatio after we submit our informa tion,"
 Hargett expressed belief that some of the men in the background" live in Birmingham.
 Live By Smuggling
 In eastern Alabama, according to the dry chief, liquor smuggling and manufacture of corn liquor, are the only. occupation of many persons. In one or two towns liquor is sold open ly across the counter, he said, A re- cent drive closed up seven places, of business as public nuisances, he said.
 A wealthy farmer near Columbus, Ga.," he continued, "has a large nunf- Der of farm hands who do nothing but smuggle and manufacture liquor, &C., cording to our information. We ex- pect to get him with the goods shortly"
 Hereafter, Hargett asserted, the dry forces will devote less attention to hip pocket cases and center their drive on the manufacturing centers. Arrest of a number of the liquor kings of the state will dry things up quickly, he believes.

 Thus, the way has, been cleared for prompt action towards pt4yehting fur ther crossing smashes in Birmingha Plans of all other affected railroads are ready; the city's plans also are in shape, and the Southern's definite an- nouncement that it will cooperate makes eyerything unanimous.
 We will get all interests concerned together in the next few days" Presi- dent McLendon said, s:and actual work on these viaducts and underpasses will be started almost before you know it. am gratified over the turn things have taken"
 Until Wednesday the city had re- peatedly failed in efforts to get any, thing definite from Southern railway officials. President McLendon had de clared in a recent statement that sany furthre delay in construction work on the projects would be hid at the Southern's doors." a N
 McLendon said after Wednesdays developments that he was glad to learn that the Southern does not intend to stand in the way of improvements that will eliminate crossing accidents.
 Work Starts Soon
 There no longer is any doubt that the viaducts and underpasses will be established within the next few months" he said. sThe general pub- lie at all times will be kept fully ad- vised of the progress made, and a full opportunity will be given interested persons to express themselves.e
 The railroads are to bear their pro- portionate part of the expense of the viaducts and underpasses. The con -struction plnas will be studied and passed on by the commission before work starts.
