NEW YORK, August 1s.-Represent-
ative Emanuel Celler of Brooklyn. a
Democrat, telegraphed Federal Prohibi-
tion Commissioner Doran today a pro-
test against action of customs officers
In frisking for liquor TASKS 1000 per-
sons who had visited the French Line
steamer lie de France before she sailed
last midnight,
Eighteen of the visitors were detained,
but most Of these paid fines at the pier
to avoid publicity.
Representative Celler, q wet, told
Commissioner Dcran that he inclined
to the belief that the commissioner did
not authorize this outrageous proce-
dure"
who did?" the telegram added.
such fouting of personal liberty
brings your office in greatest diSrepute
and breeds most Sullen resentment"
Col. william S. Concrow. chief OF
the customs inspection, said the search
had been ordered because of the
French Lines refusal to abandon its
practice of issuing daily rations of
liquor to ship crews and to prominent
persons who visit the vessels.
Col. Concrow announced he would
determine whether the hip-slapping
customs agents had been discourteous,
although he said no complaints OF dis
courtesy had been received,

Customs Commissioner Says He Knew
Nothing of Search.

Personal search of visitors leaving the
lie de France Friday night, as the
French liner was preparing to sail with
Secretary of State Kellogg on board,
was not the result of any instructions
from Washington, Z. w. Camp, customs
commissioner, declared tonight.
Mr.. Camp said that he has not been
officially advised Of the search and 1t
has not been the policy to do this, eX-
cept in instances where persons were
under suspicion.
1T is something that could hardly
have been anticipated In Washington, 4"
he continued.
The customs commissioner said that
crews of vessels are always searched as
they land and also private citizens with
bulging pockets or other suspicious
marks.
Prohibition officials knew nothing of
the matter and claim 1t was something
involving the customs bureau alone
The incident followed closely on the
heels of reports In the Capital that
administration forces are making a
series of prohibition moves that would
indicate the problems TO be handled
with more than usual "strictness,"

 MT. and Mrs. Robbins arrived here recently and took up quarters in the Arcade apartments. we were both delighted with Seward, and our pleasure has increased as we begin to get aquanted and make new friends" he said
 MT. Robbins lived in Billings for many years. He had splendid To- cation between two hotels and only one competitor This competitor was killed in an accident in New York and the business was purch ased by a chain store company. Then the Penny stores came in and finally Montgomery Ward opened another place. ''They all began cut ting prices on each other with the result that I soon found myself all out of luck. I got chance to sell out which I did and came West and North, thing I have always want cd to do."

AS the poultrymen are running an
exhibit later, there will be no live
fowls at this bazaar. The fancy work
is going to occupy more space with
beautiful, varied assortment of
handiwork and we have a very large
assortment of rugs-prettiest the
Grange has had. We have heard
rumors of an old fashioned pine tree
quilt as a main attraction.
One of the popular spots is the

STATE SWEPT BY WIND
AND RAIN AS TAIL Of
HURRICAN SWEEPS BY
[COntinusd from first sags1

At the Johnson Hotel the furniture
was likewise moved to the second
floor. The bay waters reached as
far "up neck" as the Savage Farm,
and automobiles could not get to or
from the beach for several hours.
The same conditions are reported
from all bayshore resorts. Most of
the towns in Delaware suffered to
the same extent as did Milford. In
the farming districts the corn fields
were leveled and standing crops
were beaten down. Thousands of
bushels of apples were knocked
from the trees by the wind, and
damage to the extent of thousands
of dollars will result Some of the
apple crop can be salvaged, how
ever. While no estimate of the dam
age can be made for a few days, it
is certain that Delaware suffered
much from the storm.
