Three Fourths of Dry Agents in New York District Suspected Of Ac-
 cepting Them, Says Maj. Mills.

New York, Oct. 2S.-tP-Three- fourths Of the dry agents in the 2d federal district, comprising southern New York and Connecticut, have been at one time or another under suspicion of accepting bribes~ accord ing to Mai. Chester P. Mills, former prohibition administrator.
 Mai. Mills, who makes his state ment in the current issue of Golfers Weekly, adds that more than $50 060 year is spent in the New York area for protection by bootleggers. This precludes the possibility of large profits by the lawbreakers, but adds materially to the coffers of the enforcers, he says.
 Tn the first six months Of 1927." continues Maj. Mills's article, the New York district forwarded to Washington headquarters more than s10,OO0 in cash-bribe money re- ceived by agents, and not one Of these hrihers is behind prison bars
 Offers of S2o, ,oo0 a week for blind ness to liquor operations were com mon to him, the administrator states. and one large alcohol denaturing plant offered him S100,000 a month for his protection.
 Agents frequently receive as much as s50,00O," concludes the article, ito protect shipments Of booze"

numerous landing expeditions car ried through by bootleggers at the the mouth Of East Haven river There is a cove at Kelsey Island in which vessels with liquor on board have been known to anchor and from this quiet inlet many boats have made landings Of these car goes.
 The narcotic agents. 1t was later learned. were visiting beaches on ble landing Of consignments Of drugs. Chief Inspector William Al len Of Boston with Prohibition En- forcement Agents Edward Raffile and John Hoist were also in the machine when the Chugging of the motorboat was first heard The en- forcement men were in the party for the purpose, it was explained, of taking a ride"
 The party began to trace the boat as it moved along and finally they decided it was in East Haven river.
 The chase began when the truck reached q road preceded by two small pilot cars. The truck followed zig-zag course up a hill and then went down at fast rate. It was at the bottom Of the hill that the truck was found with the driver gone.
 The opinion was held by the agents that one or more of the men who figured in the attempt to get the whiskey into the city will be To- cated during the day. The trucks of Doody Brothers Trucking com- pany, It is said, have been previous ly seized by enforcement agents for transporting contraband liquor.

A short distance from Short Beach. The driver refused 10 stop when hailed. and the agents gave chase and were aided by the fog which prevented fast driving Of the truck. When the agents were able 10 get abreast Of the truck the driver stopped it and jumped, taking to the woods close by. The agents drove the truck to a safe place and noti- fed Chief William A. Allen of the narcotic squad of Boston and he in turn ordered United States Marshal racoh Walter to seize the truck and whissey and hold it for orders.
 Doody Brothers Owners
 The truck belonged 10 Doody Brothers of New Haven. but over the telephone q man who represented himself as a member of the firm told the agents that he had no knowledge of the truck having been used to cart whiskey last night.
 An inspection of the kegs showed that they had labels of the 1sla Dis 1llfFN. I tl II t7tOAl-AtAAls oii '4A' 'NE'' and other labels indicated they had haen part Of the cargo Of s. s, New roundland which had been at South Hornhy Docks. Liverpool, England
 Think Nova scotia Source
 The agents said there were other indications that the kegs had come from Nova Scotia port. It is claimed that the truck was one Of those condemned by the federal court here recently for having been used In carriage of illicit beer.
 So far as officers knew there was no clue to the identity Of the yes sel which brought the whiskey into Long Island Sound. It was thought the motor boat which landed the keg. belonged to the vessel.
 The narcotic agents in their re- port said tht the whis6ey had been landed in Smugglers' Cove and while locally at Short Beach no such cove Is known, the term has been used there jocularly because Of the

local GOLFERS WIN
FROM GATEWAY CITY

By a score of 21 to 90, Bozeman
golfers last Sunday defeated Living
ston on the local links in the second
tourney of the season. The first was
played at Livingston in May, and re-
suited in a defeat for Bozeman. The
third will be played in Livingston
early in August, TO determine the in
ter-city championship and the own
ership of a silver cup.
In Sundays tourney Bozeman was
victorious by 26 holes and "a strokes.
Ray Lewis turned in the best score,
sc for the 18 holes. A feature of the
contest was that it was not definitely
decided until the last match, in which
happened to be engaged the captains
of the two teams-E. P. White OF
Livingston and Frank Boedecker Of
Bozeman. The latter won.

dence that he had been struck too
low.
The semi-final, between Dillon of
Butte and RiccO of Brooklyn, N. Y,
lit Founders, proved fiasco. The
lads simply wouldn't fight, content
ing themselves with a series of fancy
stunts, and after several warnings
Referee Romney stopped the bout in
the fourth round and declared it mo
contest" Some protests were made
by spectators, whereupon Mr.. Rom
ney in a few well-chosen. words ex-
planned that heretofore the bouts at
Manhattan had been kept to a high
standard; that Dillon and Ricco were
plainly putting on a "fake" contest,
and that he did not intend to permit
them to continue such a farce.
Referee Romney's courage and
firmness in the matter were given
earty approval by a majority of the
crowd, and after conference with
the promoters, it was decided to let
the boys fight three more two-minute
rounds, provided they would do their
best. The resulting bout was fan
from satisfactory, and was declared
a draw. The occurrence was unfOr-
tunate, but the fans realized that the
management was in no wise to be
blamed.
