Inter-Marriage Blots
 Out Racial Lineage

Honolulu, July 30 P-H inter- racial marriages in Hawaii continue at the present rate, it will be wise child after a few generations who even knows to what race his an cestors belonged, in the belief Of pr. Romanso Adams, head of the de- partment of sociology at the Univer' sity of Hawaii.
 Thirty-five per cent of the mar riages of white men in the islands are with women of other races, Dr, Adams said. More white men than women contract inter-racial mar riage because there are more white men here owing to the presence oi large numbers of soldiers.
 The pure blooded Hawaiians and Portuguese are disappearing, he said, while the part-Hawaiian and the art-Portuguese groups are growing.
 The result of this biological amalga Slation is still in doubt, says the scientist.

Speedy Prosecution in Border
 Liquor Tragedies

Buffalo, N. T., July 30 QP-The indictment of about 90 Buffalo and Niagara Fallsmen by the federal grand jury at Jamestown yesterday on charges of violating the prohibi- ton law marked the breaking up of one of the most important illicit liquor organizations in prohibition history, in the belief of federal of- ficials. The organization had ram- ifications as far west as Detroit and as far east as the Atlantic seaboard, and was declared to be one of the biggest sources of bootleg liquor on the continent.
 Disclosures concerning this huge ring eclipsed in public interest the developments in the investigation into the distribution of poisonous alcohol in western New York and Ontario, which resulted in the deaths of more than two score per sons. Buffalo police announced that they had located 2,0O0 gallons of 4,400 gallon shipment of poisonous alcohol. Much of the re- mainder was disposed of in small lots throughout western New York

AIRWAY TRAFFIC NEEDS MAPPING
Enough at Present to Call for
 Good ROutingS

Dayton, O., July 30 R-Traffic on the airways of the United States is not yet heavy though to call for strict police supervision, but their travel has reached the point where statistics are being compiled on their use, just as they are compiled on highways, railroads and waterways. Compilation up to last June l, made at the U. S. model airway control office, Wright field, Fair field, Ohio. shows that in the forty seven months just preceding that date, more than one million miles had been flown over the airways by army fliers with the loss of but one life.
 Used in Official Trade
 The airways are definitely estab- lished routes between the air and commercial centers of the United States. They are travelled by gov ernment planes in carrying officials from place to place, to convey of- ficial messages by personal courier, and to carry dispatches and parcels of governmental importance. The routes are designated on maps and at night are illuminated at inter- vals by revolving beacon lights. By day the airways are marked by sig nals painted on roof tops in cities along the route.
 Originally planes were flown over the airways only from Dayton. New York, Langley Field, Va, and Wash ington. Later Detroit, St. Louis, Scott Field, H., and Kelly and Brooks Fields, Texas have been in- cluded.
 Planes leaving New York over the airways. fly to McCook Field, Dayton. thence to Detroit, St. Louis, Louisville, Cincinnati, Dayton and back to New York.
 Routes of Travel
 Ships leaving Kelly Field, Texas, fly to D. Has, Muskogee. Kansas City, and Scott Field, where they meet the New York planes en route to & Louis, and then return to Kelly Field.
 McCook Field planes make trips to Langley Field, Va, New York Washington and back to Dayton.
 From July l, 1922 to June l. 1928, six hundred and ninety-one flights have been started over the airways. Of these, 662 have been completed. There have been twenty six crashes and only two accidents to the personnel, resulting in one fatality. Forced landings have num- Ibered 127.
 In the period of forty-seVen months, 1,197 passengers have been carried and 61,412 pounds of ex- press has been conveyed over a total distance of 1,O9S,37S miles in l4,- 644 flying hours.

 Burden of New York, alleged whole saler of the poisonous liquor, and two alleged chief lieutenants, Nath- an Sapowich and David Goldberg. of
 Buffalo. The police have obtained sworn statements of chemists that they told the latter pair the liquor
 was wood alcohol and poisonous be- | fore it was resold. ..... Federal Attrney Richard H. Tenn lpleton. who presented evidence of the rum conspiracy to the grand | jury at Jamestown, said the govern ment had made the greatest single stroke against bootleggers that it had ever accomplished. Explaining the working of the ring. he said that about 4000 gallons of alcohol was withdrawn monthly under permit l from government warehouses
 through the Jopp Drug company of Buffalo and the Falls Tonic company of Niagara Falls. A fleet of motor boats on Lake Ontario transported this alcohol to Canada, where 1t was lre-distilled and mixed with Canadian whiskey. Here it was bottled and sealed with fake labels, wraps and government stamps.
 The drug companies paid s1.10
 gallon for the denatured alcohol in the first instance. By the time it reached Canada, federal official es- timated, it was worth $14 a gallon.
 Parts of the liquor manufactured
 at the Canadian plants of the ring went west to Windsor and thence to Detroit and more came back across Lake Ontario. Most of it, however, went around the long route because Tit commanded higher prices when brought in from rum row.

 Caused Damage in Hostelry.

South Harpswell, Me, July 30 P Fifty guests fled from the Ocean View hotel as the house was de- stroyed by fire at midnight. The flames were visible 20 miles at sea.

 No guests was injured but prac- tically all lost all their possessions.
 The hotel, which stood on an eminence overlooking Casco Bay, formerly was the Lawson House, and for 50 years was one of the best known in Maine. It was owned by Eli Perry of Portland.
