Six suit cases, each containing two
cases Of liquor, were seized as they
were being unloaded. Other arrests
have been ordered at Detroit, accord
ing to Alexander Jamie, prohibition
administrator.
IF we are able to learn that the

with the transportation Of this liquor
we will take steps to paddock the cars
on which it was carried" Jamie said.
According to the authorities, the
suit cases containing liquor were
placed with other baggage from the
train, "red caps" carried it to build
ing near the Dearborn Station and
there the distributor obtained it.

will meet on the Buffalo Erie span
Sunday to dedicate it.
The occasion, incidentally, will give

Besides the Prince of Wales and

State Frank b. Kellogg and Premier
Howard Ferguson of Ontario will de-

Significant was the choice of the
site for the Canadian end of the
bridge, for the terminus is at Fort
Erie, only a mile from the site of old
Fort Erie. where American and Brit
ish troops, fighting on this frontier in
the War of 1912, clashed for the last
time.
OF equal significance is the fact that
the American end of the bridge rests
on the site Of Fort Porter, recently
abandoned as an Army post after half

Proposal of the Pere Marquette

an adverse recommendation at the
termination of a preliminary investi-
