RUM RUNNERS
HAVE PERFECT
"SPY" SYSTEM

WASHINGTON, April l3.--Rum
runners have established an almost
perfect espionage system along the
New Jersey and New England coasts
to keep tab on government prohi,
bition operations, according to coast
guard quarters here today.
Their intelligence service has
handicapped the guard s activities
in hunting down small craft and
locating shore bases.
The rum informrrs along the
coasts are made up largely of shore
residents. When they see n coas.
guard vessel put out to sea they
Immediately telephone to ''rum
headquarters somewhere in New
York which sounds the alarm by
telephone and radio.
When providing coast guard
shore craft pokcs rs nose into the
bays aud cstuarirs along the coast
where shore bases might be located,
the scntinclS and spies quickly put
their confcdcratrs on guard by sig.
nails or phone calls.
