SAYS PUPILS GIVEN
RUM-F|LLED TOYS
Patterson Tells Methodist
Board BootIeggers Seek to
Cultivate Taste in Young.

Hollow toys filled with intoxicating
liquor are being given to American
school children by bootleggers seeking
to stimulate an appetite for whisky
among the younger generation in order
to secure future market for their
wares, the board of managers of the
Methodist Board of Temperance, Pro-
hibition and Public Morals was told
yesterday at its annual meeting, in the
Methodist Building, by D. Stewart Pat
terson, secretary of young peoples work
for the board. '"'''-'
Patterson called attention to one in
stance where TOY" in the, shape of
hollow ruler, marked "12 inches of
good stuff" was given to boy attend
ing a primary school in Oregon.
THE ruler was taken from the child
by the teacher, whose suspicious were
aroused by the 'dopey' actions of the
boy" Mr.. Patterson said. 1T was found
that the youngster had been made
drunk by drinking only one-quarter of
the liquor contained In the long glass
bottle inside the ruler. Another Of these
toys was in the shape of hand, and
was given to boy peddling papers by
a saloon keeper. Still another was in
the form of a childs doll and was taken
from little girl. Queer shaped bottles
and hollow toys were given to- school
children in Oregon during the last
Christmas holidays. These were ex-
amined and found to contain sweetened
wine and whisky"
The extent of drinking among stu
dents, however, has been greatly ex-
aggerated, Mr.. Patterson believes.
"A large per cent of the drinking
among young people is done because it
is considered smart" he said. These
people do not necessarily care to drink.
But this attitude long continued. will
lead to the formation of a standard
which will be opposed to the principle
of restriction"
Bishop William Fraser Mcdowell said
he was of the opinion that the prohi-
bition Is not question for the United
States alone. but one for the countries
of the world. 20

BYRD POLAR SHIPS
MAKE GOODSPEED
City of New York and Eleanor
Boiling Over 500 Miles
South of Dunedin.
BY RUSSELL OWEN.

BY Wireless 10 The Star and New York Times.
ON BOARD THE BARK CITY OF
NEW YORK. AT SEA. Wednesday, De-
cember 5.-The wind which threatened
yesterday failed to materialize, but blew
itself out in a quick squall which push
ed our ship along faster than ever.
Today it seems incredible that we are
more than 500 miles south of Dunedin
and half way to the ice pack. The
wind is gentle. 1t is the best weather
any Antarctic expedition ever expe-
rienced in this region of gales.
At noon today the Eleanor Boiling
and the City of New York were 499
miles south of Tarora Head. their posi-
ton being latitude 54:l6 south, longi-
tude 170:47 east
The plan to have the Eleanor Boiling
tow the City of New York to the ice
has worked out excellently. for in adj
dition to giving us fair speed during the
period of head winds. 1t also insures for
us full supply of coal when the ice
pack is reached and the Eleanor Boiling
turns back.
Solution of the Fuel Problem.
The problem of carrying enough toai
on these wooden boats has always been
serious one and it was Capt. Scott's
greatest worry during his last trip
through the ice pack
From the Eleanor Boiling. which Of
course is not suitable to 20 through the
pack so early in the yes8f it is possible
for the City of New YORK to get fun
bunkers and also a deckload before the
Eleanor Boiling return to Dunedin.
Then, after getting through the pack,
the City of New York can sail to the
barrier and arrive there with neary full
coal bunkers.
The Eleanor Boiling will bring the
| other planes, and fuel, houses and food.
on her first trip through the ice, which
will begin late this month
So far the City of New York and the
| Eleanor Boiling have been averaging
ITO miles day. which is even better
| than had been expected. 49,,
Ice Birds With AIbatross.
| A suggestion Of the ice ahead was
given by little i've birds which we're
seen for the first time today flying in
| company with albatross. -
This seems to be one of the most
| rolling oceans in the world and the ship
is constantly heaving uneasily on the
long Swells. She is carrying sail as
well as steaming and both ships are
| making about knots, which is very
| good, considering the heavy load aboard.
| The City of New York carries not only
one airplane, but she has food supplies
enough to keep 20 men on the ice for q
year, even If the Eleanor Boiling should
not come down with more materials.

In his testimony, made public today.
when Mutt was questioned regarding
a 100000 increase in appropriations for
the purchase of evidence in enforcing
the Harrison narcotic act, the deputy
commissioner did not name the man
KILLED in New York.
He declared that If one of the drug
smuggling syndicateS was put out OF
business another would start.
Somebody will finance these fellows, :"
he said. I'm New York that old
financier who was killed was one Of
them"
Mutt, estimating there were 100000
narcotic addicts in the United States,
said their source Of supply was the
smuggled drug.
THAT is established largely. he said.
by the fact that we are catching very
tew of the legitimate dealers violating
the aaw." -
Reports that some dealers were selling
their illicit wares to school children in
some cities were unfounded, Mutt said.

Agriculture as whole made sub
stantial gains" fatty declared the Sec
retary There was an increase both
in prices and in total cash returns for
the crops and products of the year
1929 as compared with those OF the
year 1926-27, this increase representing
the net result of gains in some products
and losses in others. The average
prices received by farmers during the
fiscal year increased about per cent,
while there was 8 slight decrease in the
prices paid by farmers for their pur-
chases. according to price data COM
piled by the United States Department
of Agriculture. The advantage of this
increase in average prices per unit pro-
duced was partly offset by decrease In
volume.
LAS the net effect of these two forces,
the estimated gross cash income from
farm products increased in the fiscal
or crop year 1929 by $279,000, 900, or
2.9 per cent, as compared with the pre-

INDICTMENT AIDS LAW ENFORCEMENT
Set Precedent Prosecuting Buyer
 as We'll as Seller

Philadelphia, Sept. 14 R}-Indict- ment by the federal grand jury of Joel D. kerper, alleged society bootlegger." of this city, and Alfred E. Norris, New York broker. esta b. l lished a precedent here. which Col. | Edwin G. Davis. special assistant attorney general, said that he be- l lieved would aid materially in en- forcing the prohibition law by mak- ing it possible to prosecute the buy CT as we'll as the seller of liquor, in certain instances.
 kerper was indicted on 33 counts and Norris on two counts, which al- lege that he conspired with kerper to violate the prohibition law. The indictment of Norris was based on alleged shipments of liquor to him | by kerper since October 28, 1926. Col. Davis said about 15 such ship ments had been made, and that Nor ris would be brought here for trial. Convict Buyer "The government" declared Col. Davis, intends to prove that it is possible to convict the buyer and seller of intoxicating liquors on a charge of conspiring to transport the intoxicants. The prohibition law does not make it crime to pur- chase liquor. but the question in yolved here is whether it is a crime to conspire to transport the liquor purchased.
 Never before has the government had such case. and in my opinion it eventually will have to be decided by the United States supreme court
 Col. Davis added that because the names of many prominent persons had been found in kerper's place Of business during raid by prohibi- | ton agents last July. it did not imply that all had purchased liquor Sixteen Witnesses The indictment against Kerper disclosed the names of 16 witnesses most of them prominent Philadel- phians. Forty alleged ''cust toners had been summoned, but man! 1 failed to respond.
