Caught by Cannibals
Bysthe Associated Press.

SYDNEY, Austria, March Is
knowledge of the intricacies of the
Charleston, much discussed dance,

Australian composer, he declared
here yesterday upon his return
from a lonely walking tour on Epi
Island, in the New Hebrides group.
The natives of the island, Kent
explained, still are in the canni-
balistic stage and head hunting Is
a respected diversion. Kent was
surrounded by group of armed
Aborigines, who appeared on the
verge of attacking him.
To distract their attention the
composer danced the Charleston,
and the natives quickly caught the
infection.
Semi-nude men, women and chill
dren followed his movements eager
ly, and when he had shown them
all he knew about the dance thu
lavished him with presents and
escorted him in safety to the coast.

the building almost directly under an
immense and costly stained glass and

the remodeling work in April of last

including the extension will have cost
upwards of 100000 when completed,

FEDERAL DRY AGENTS ACTIVE
COMBING LOWER DELAWARE
MANY STILLS ARE DESTROYED
But FEW ARRESTS ARE MADE
Director Hill and Staff Are Running
Down Every Clue and Intend To
Round Up the BoOtleggers

The enforcement of the Federal law
prohibiting the manufacture of liquor
is being carried into the very heart of
the swamps and woodlands Of lower
Delaware. The agent staff of George
A. Hill, director of Federal prohibi-
tion in Delaware, have been gathering
data of bootleggers, and almost daily
are swooping down upon moonshiners'
camps many times seizing large stills
and unfinished liquor but seldom cap
turing the operators.
Mr.. Hill is keeping secret the num-
ber of men on his staff and whenever
possible, he allows no one to catch as
much as a glimpse of them. While
the agents are all Delaware men, they
have difficulty in pursuing the moon
sinners through the trails in the
swamps and dense woodlands. How
ever, the agents are gathering up and
destroying the largest stills in the
state and are slowly drawing a net
about the more extensive moonshine
operators.
Mr.. Hill is preparing a report for
the Washington office which will show
that during the past month one of the
most hardy drives against the illicit
manufacture of liquor in Delaware
has been made. Stills having the to-
tai capacity of 465 gallons have been
destroyed and about a thousand gal
Ions of either crude or finished liquor
and several thousand gallons of mash
have been seized. In contrast to the
number Of stills seized, only five ar
rests were made. The capture of op-
orators is no easy matter. As rule,
the principal moonshiners are farm
ers who have the idea they can earn
more money manufacturing liquor out
Of their rye than by selling the grain.
While operating their stills, they are
fully armed but when surprised by
Federal agents, they do not shoot un-
less the Federal men open fire first.
The moonshiners would rather trust
to their knowledge Of the swamp and
woodland trails for escape or with
their fate in the courts than to be
hunted for murder or manslaughter.
The moonshiners have an elaborate
spy system. They are tipped off when
Federal men make their approach and
if anybody is found at the camp, he
is usually some irresponsible watch
man hired by the real moonshiner.
The liquor made in the swamp
camps is not of the desirable grade.
It costs the moonshiners about S5 a
gallon for alleged rye whiskey and
most of it is shipped out of the state.
During the past month, the Federal
agents captured one 100-gallon still,
an unusually large one for this state;
two 75-gallon stills; two of 50-gallon
capacity; one of Is gallons capacity;
and four of small capacity ranging
from five to ten gallons. The 100-gal-
Ion still was found in a woods near
Wyoming. Robert Long was given
hearing Thursday by United States
Commissioner ]. Pierce Cam on
charge of operating it, and was re-
leased on $4,000 bail. Long was ar
rested several days ago by Mr.. Hills
agent on the premises where the still
was being operated.
