ALLEGED RUM RUNNERS
ARRESTED IN OAKLAND
Enforcement Officers, Assisted
by West Virginia State Police,
Caught Men and Cars

With a squad of West Virginia
State Police guarding the roads on
the West Virginia side, Federal En-
forcement Officers William R. Harvey,
Cleveland D. Jarvis with Deputy
Sheriff Casteel of Garrett county,
waged a campaign on Oakland rum
runners Friday night and Saturday
morning making seven arrests.
Complaint was made for some time
that rum runners in fast automobiles
have been hauling liquor out of Gar
rett county into West Virginia "burn-
ing up" the roads, and endangering
motorists.
The Federal officers with Deputy
Casteel gave chase to Paul Tasker
Friday night late, blocked the road
and arrested him. The officers say
Tasker threw out bottles of liquor on
the road, and the officers salvaged
one. He was taken before Magis-
trate Gender at Oakland and held I'M
der 5000 bond for transporting and
possession for sale. He was also
fined $40 and costs for breaking glass
on, a highway.
The officers ran down another car
at 2:30 o'clock Saturday morning,
arresting the four occupants, who
gave their names as William Ray,
John Britton, and Arley Britton. They
were hauling a key of moonshine on
the Oakland Thomas, W. Va, road.
All were held under 5000 bond each
by Magistrate Gender for the Garrett
County Grand Jury. Ray broke a
quart bottle on the road, the officers
testified, and he was fined $40 and
costs on two State traffic violations.
The touring car was confscated.
The Federal officers chased another
car at daybreak which was captured
by the West Virginia officers.
The federal officers revisited the
home of Floyd Williams, on the
Maryland side, opposite Bayard, W..
Va, and found a. brewing plant and
seized a number of cases of home
brew. He was raided few days ago
on the same charge Williams was
taken to Cumberland for hearing.
Perry Dennis, charged with operat-
ing beer making plant near Bayard,
and who has been 'hiding out" at
nights, Officer Harvey said, and evad-
ing arrest, was caught Saturday at
his home where he had returned and
gone to bed. This is his second Of
Tense, he having served sixty days,
recently the records show, on a
manufacturing charge He was taken
to Cumberland for hearing. Deputy
Sheriff Casteel who accompanied the
officers has been active in making IL
quor violation arrests under the coun-
ty law. He is candidate for Sheriff
this term.
At or near German, Garrett county,
Monday the Federal Agents raided G.
J. Lees farm and confiscated three
barrels of mash, one gallon of whis-
key and twenty-five gallon capacity
still. 1t is said that Lee has been OPP
Grating for more than four years. He
was taken before Magistrate NJ. G.
Williams at German and held under
$500 bond for the action of the Gar
rett County grand jury.

FOX REFUSES TO
DEED OVER GROUND
Atlantic City Will Condemn 5o-Foot
Strip on Maine Avenue.

Condemnation of a ffty-foot- wide
strip ON the ocean side of Maine ave-
nue. between Grammercy place and
Madison avenue, Atlantic City, is TO be
attempted by the city as a means of
widening the thoroughfare to 100 feet,
so that shore drive may be created
The highway is the only street ada
cent to and parallel with the Board
walk.
Through a miX-up some years ago
Atlantic City lost title to the section
on which condemnation is now sought.
1t was claimed by Benjamin Fox, a
realty developer, and recently was ap-
praised at $4S5 900 by real estate men,
The strip is bounded by a fence
erected by Fox directly down the cen
ter of the street. After one fatality
and several other serious accidents,
the city placed flashlights at each cor
ner as a protection to night traffic
Fox has refused to deed over the
ground because of its greatly increas-
ed value since the original negotia-
tons were opened.

Try To Make Beach
Stay In One Place
Old Neptune Is Busy Teasing
Folks Over Line of the
Boardwalk.


Ocean City is now deeply i'll the dis
cussion of a permanent beach front
This is necessary to encourage perma-
nent structures, as no one naturally
cares to build on a Boardwalk if with
in a few years it is to be moved sea
ward.
This question is one that all the re
sorts along the shore are called on to
face. Atlantic City for long time
had problem on its hands in this re-
spect What is now the northern part
OF Atlantic City was one lime under
ten feet of water. The lighthouse that
now stands far from the beach, only a
few years ago was threatened by the
ocean, until Professor Haupt and his
hook fetties stemmed the inroads Of
the ocean
1t has been only by skillful engineer
ing that the permanent shore line of
Atlantic City has been maintained.
Just how difficult this is can be seen
at points to the south, Heavy mason
ry at Ventnor City did not stem the
tides from taking their toll of beach
front. At Longport all that could be
done did not prevent the ocean from
cutting away big sections of the beach
front
Hope to Save Beach.
Ocean City is now engaged i'll eX-
perimenting with the various kind of
jetties and hopes to have a beach front
and boardwalk as permanent as that
of Atlantic City. Here also, as in At
lantic City, trolley cars are running on
streets that a few years ago were part
of the ocean The boardwalk has re-
peatedly been moved oceanward. Fiji
teen years ago the full moon high
tides would come up as far as Seventh
and Ocean avenues and what is now
the gardens section of the resort was
under water twenty-five years ago
the United States coast guards built
their station at Fourth and Atlantic
avenues and the tides played around
the building. r. w. Edwards, OF
Ocean City, has kept much valuable
data OF the old beach and some OF the
tides and storms.
One of the difficulties greater than
keeping the ocean from washing away
the beach is to prevent it from reced-
ing, as ii is doing at Ocean City How
to hold back the waters from claiming
the beach is not an insurmountable
problem but to keep the ocean from
receding is another thing, but it is
claimed that a system of jetties will
produce currents that will accomplish
this.
Ocean City is about to take its first
step to acquire the beach front under
an act that gives a municipality pow
er to condemn land for public purpos-
es. Requirement of the beach front
will be followed by permanent line
for the boardwalk, which it is intend
ed shall be made straight and to take
out the abrupt turn at Sixth street.
1t is not intended to rebuild the
boardwalk for a number of years, but
to make all preparations for a new
walk that will be about along the line
now occupied When this is done it
is planned to limit the buildings along
the boardwalk to those of a perma-
nent character.

THE COLORADO CONFERENCE
lArizOna Gazettel

1t is interesting to note the diff
ference between the present Colo
rado river conference in progress
in Los Angeles and the first con-
ference held in Phoenix. The
present conference may not ac-
complish anything definite, but the
change in the attitude of the Cali
fornia and Nevada committees is
most notable.
In the first conference in Phoeo-
nix, the California and Nevada
Nevada delegates had an ultimat-
um to which Arizona could acqui-
esce or there could be no parley.
Naturally the meeting broke up
right there. Arizona was not su-
ing for peace, it's committeeman
refused to meet upon such basis.
In the present conference the Calf
ornia and Nevada committees have
already conceded much.
First, in accepting the meeting
without reservations they capitu-
