FASTEST BOATS
TO CHASE LAKE
rum RUNNERS
Flying Speed Vessels to Cut
Waters at 60 Miles
an Hour.
BIZ United Press

BIZ United Press
BUFFALO, N. Y, Aug. 14.-Once
again rum runners who ply their
trade along the border waters of
the Niagara frontier have been
dealt smashing blow by the United
States Coast Guard.
The latest move by the Coast
Guard in its attempt to wipe out
the many bands of smugglers in
these waters has been to order a
number of flying speed boats, cap
able of cutting the water at a speed
of sixty miles an hour, and which,
it is said, will outspeed the fastest
boats used by rum runners.
Runners Use Fast Boats
The new boats. some of which
will be fifty-two feet in length, and
the remainder thirty-fou feet, will
be placed into service sometime this
month. They will see service on the
Niagara River and Lakes Erie and
Ontario.
The boats owned by rum runners
and which have been conhscated in
the past by the Coast Guard rarely
have been capable of a speed greater
than thirty or thirty-f1ve miles per
hour.
However, since the customs Off
Gals have concentrated more this
year on wiping out contraband
smugglers, the latter have pur-
chased faster boats in which they
hoped to outspeed the revenue cut
tiers. That they succeeded to some
extent is evidenced by the fact that
new and speedier boats have been
ordered for coast guard duty.
1t was pointed out by officials
that 1t will be next to an impossi-
bility for rum runners to purchase
boats that will exceed the speed of
the new rum chasers, due to the
fact that boats capable of such a
speed as sixty miles an hour or
better are not being built with any
view to large storage space. With
out room to store cases of liquor the
boats are of no use to rum runners
Tow Booze Behind Boat
A number of men have been ar
rested lately in rowboats, disguised
as fishermen. for attempting to
smuggle liquor over the border. They
had two or three cases attached to
their boat b. means of a rope and
rowed them across.
Severa! escaped penalty by cut
ting the rope and letting the cases
OF liquor sink to the bottom upon
seeing a revenue cutter approach.
1t is estimated that more thar
1000 cases Of pre-war liquor anc
915 per cent Canadian ale are rest
ing on the bottom of the Niagara
River alone. All these cases were
dumped over by rum runners tc
avoid arrest

HOME BURNED;
NO MIGRANTS
Another Blaze Is Believed of
InCendiary Origin.

Because there were no hydrants
in the vicinity f1remen were unable
to save the home of Mrs. Nettie
Morrow, 1912 Thornberry ST., this
morning. 1t was destroyed, with loss
estimated at $1,000. No one was at
home when the fire broke out about
a. m.
The Morrow house is in a sparsely
settled section of West Indianapolis
and it was necessary to carry water
from a well to the pumper, firemen
said.
They are investigating the posi-
bic incendiary origin of a $3.50 fire
at the home of V. H. Gehlhach, 1927
Bellefontaine St., early today.
Neighbors aroused the family about
2:30 a. m, after a passing bakery
wagon driver had seen the flames
and turned in the alarm.
Gehlbach, his wife and son, Mar
vim, were able to leave the upstairs
bedrooms by the front stairway,
which was smoke filled. The rear
stairway was the seat Of the fire.
Late Monday the home of William
O'Neil, 701 Fuller Dr., was damaged
by fire by a gasoline stove explosion.
Mrs. Jessie ONeil, wife Of William
and mother of three small children,
was next door at the time and tried
TO enter the burning building, think
ing her baby, Mary, 3, was in the
house.
However, the child had accom-
panied her 8-year-old sister, Pa
tricia, to the store and returned to
wonder at the fire and relieve her
frantic mother.

WEATHER AIDS IN WAR ON GERM CARRYING INsECTs

erately warm than in very warm
weather.
Professor w. j. Baerg of the
University of Arkansas, noted
among entomologists as the man
who has the nerve to let tarant-
ulas, scorpions and centipedes bite
and sting him, detailed the results
of his first hand experiences.
A centipede bite is about as
painful as a bee sting, but no
more harmful. The same is true
of most tarantulas-and it is
usually hard to get a tarantula to
bite at all. The much smaller
black widow spider of the South
is equally reluctant to bite, but its
venom is much more wicked in its
effects.

NEGROES FRAME
revolt TO PICK
OWN CANDIDATE
EIks Sponsor Move to
Break From Both Parties
Over Grievances.
BY RAY TUCKER
Times staff Correspondent

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 14.-In
reprisal against both Republicans
and Democrats, Negro leaders have
framed plans to nominate one of
their own race as candidate for
the presidency.
With the sole idea of forcing
greater recognition from the two
major parties, 5000 delegates of the
Independent Order of Elks, second
largest Negro fraternal organiza-
ton in America, will meet at Chi
cago on Aug. "a to name candi-
date, probably Alderman Louis An
derson of Chicago. The revolt is
sponsored by the Elks, which has
a membership of 100000 and some
of the country's most influential
Negro politicians at its head.
Confer With Hoover
The reasons behind the revolt
were outlined to Herbert Hoover,
Republican nominee, by Robert R.
Church, Negro leader of Memphis,
and Roscoe Simmons, who controls
the black belt of Chicago. Church
end Simmons were members OF the
notification committee, and stayed
over a few days to confer with Hoo
yer. Both will go to Chicago to
speak against a separate Negro
ticket and fight for Hoover.
Negro leaders, weeklies and dallles
recently have charged that the Re-
publican party seeks to shake the
co1ored rule of the organization In
the South. They are particularly IN
censed at the indictment OF Perry
Howard, colored national Republican
committeeman from Mississippi and
grand attorney of the Elks order
His Indictment is blamed on friends
of Hoover, particularly Mrs. Mabel
Walker Willebrandt, assistant attor-
ney general.
Meanwhile, Democratic counting
of the Negro voters seems destined
to failure. Governor Smiths record
with regard to the Negro is unsat-
isfactory, according to colored lead
ers. Though Tammany has included
them in distribution Of patronage,
they charge that Smith never has
shown friendliness. Moreover, they
do not like Senator Robinson, DEM
ocratic vice-presidential nominee.
Vote Is Important
The number of actual Negro
voters in States where the result
might be affected by nomination OF
a colored man for President follows:
New York, 65 900; Tennessee, 10000;
Kentucky, 10000; Missouri, 10000;
Indiana, $4,000; Ohio, 10000; Hi
nois, 100000.
The Republicans never have car
ried Tennessee or Kentucky by
margin as great as the Negro vote.
In the other states loss of Negro
support might cause trouble for the

understanding of climatic factors
as they affect insect borne dis

Frosty weather kills flies, and so
abates fly borne plaques, such as
some epidemics of typhoid fever.
But sometimes the operation of
climatic factors is not so easily

The peak of the annual spread

comes before the warm weather
