Cullinane said the girl told him
she had taken the diamond cluster

The jewelry was missed by Mrs.
Alice w. Lester, a music teacher,
of the 200 block of Indiana Ave.

Police were notified and Cullinane,
delving into the case, learned that
the girl had been friendly with a
next door neighbor, John Norton,
alias Anderson, 80 years old.
Believing the girl had run away
with Norton, as he had deserted
his wife on the same day she dis

his movements.
He learned the couple had been

said they saw Policeman Garland
being assisted to a taxicab yester-
day by the cab driver on G Street
Southwest.
A bottle was in his pocket, 1t was
testified. The policeman told his
superiors he had seized it in a whisky
raid and explained his presence in
Southwest several miles from his
own station by saying he was look
ing for suspect wanted by police.
Judge Mattingly found him guilty
and imposed $40 fine and he sus-
pended execution.
Attorney Harry T. Whalen noted
an exception to the judges ruling.
The testimony of physician did not
indicate conclusively that Garland
was intoxicated, Whalen contended.
The physician, a DR.. Moffett,
was sent for, by Garlond as soon
as the other policeman told him
he was under arrest.
The judge allowed the exception.
"If I'm wrong, hope you will find
it out" he told Whalen.
Garland had worked all night
and had been off a few hours
when he was arrested. The Judge
said there was no evidence of
prejudice against him on the part
of the other officers and that his
story regarding the liquor raid
sounded dubious as 1t was not testi-

RUMSNUGGLIN6
DECREASED
BY International New. Service

BY International News service
The American drinking public
had to satisfy its thirst with less
foreign liquor in the year ending
June ] than in any similar period
since prohibition was written onto
the statute books.
This opinion was expressed today
by Coast Guard officials who made
public figures showing that 1873
boats of all sizes and descriptions
were seized this year, compared to
the high record OF 734 in 1925, when
the big drive was made against
rum row off the northeastern coast.
Aside from the situation on the
Great Lakes and Detroit area,
through which considerable quaint
ties of Canadian liquors still enter
the United States, Coast Guard Off
Gals considered the smuggling situa-
ton well in hand.
8 AirpIanes Seized
In addition to the ship seizures,
the Coast Guard confiscated three
airplanes, which had operated be-
tween Canada and the United States
and the islands off the southeastern
coast and the mainland. Airplanss
were used to good effect by the
more daring smugglers. Pilots were
offered fancy salaries to run rum
into the country, they said.
More than ever, the bootlegger-
patrons were forced TO be satisfied
with the concoctions prepared from
illicitly distilled alcohol during the
past year.
Coast Guard officials said, how
ever, that once the blockade around
the United States was relaxed, re-
mobilization of formidable rum.
row, partich 1rly off the New York
and New England coast might be
anticipated.
Smuggling UnOrganized
Such smuggling as there was
from the high seas came from &C.
casional and scattered schooners
which ran along the coast, well out
from the 12-mile limit, from bases
in the West Indies or Eastern Can
adian territory, and made shore
| contact through fast motor boats.
This was indicated by the fact that
most of the seizures were motor
boats. A few schooners were taken.
Liquor smugglers also were found
to have handled other commodities
such as narcotics and highly duti.
able merchandise, with an occasional
alien. Prior to prohibition the
smuggling situation was fairly well
in hand. but when, there came the
great demand for foreign liquors,
the rum runners, having little in
itial difficulty in getting wet goods
over the coast lines, turned to the
highly profitable merchandise SNUG

SPRINGTIME
BY D. C. PEATTIE.

The children in the Alps begin to
look now fer the first Of those ircred-
Idle six-pointed flowers Of the SYM
metry OF frost-crystals and as pure and
iran, that in English we call snowd2op
and the French call pierce-the-snow
In all the world, think, there blows
no blossom better loved than wind
flowers, tiny though they be. Pure
white, shell pink. they come again to
grace the earth, the whole world round,
at least in this our northern hemi-
sphere. The high prairies of the North
western States will have their pasque-
flowers of incredible blue; the Holy
Land will have its great crown anem-
ones OF scarlet; anemones Of Japan
are magical as Iceland peoples. But In
our nora you will find, of the enchant-
ing genus called Anemones, at this
season Of the year one species more
than any otEler-the wood anemone.
No one, I suppose, whoe ever went
a-wildhowering in earliest Spring, could
resist the lure of picking little wind
flowers. They are so dainty on the
threadform stems, so much the Spring
itself incarnate, that it is incredible
that they would not bring the breath
Of Spring into the house. And yet, at
home. no vase is so small that it will
fit them, and finally, in despair, you
scatter them on bowl of water, where
swiftly they grow water-logged and sad.
And next year you will leave them
where you found them, there to bloom,
sprttes that refuse captivity.
