Walter A. Ryan, lumberman at' 1905
Nichols avenue southeast, Roy Lewis,
colored, 80 years old, said by the police
to be known as the 'Tanpa. KID" was
brought here from Atlantic City yester-
day afternoon by Detective Frank NJ.
Ailigood, having been arrested there
several days ago.
Not until Lewis appears In court will
police know definitely the number and
identity of his alleged victims, who. 1t
is asserted, parted with various sums Of
money. some as much as 81 1900. His
plan, 1t Is alleged, was to give bills Of
sale on an automobile for which he
had not finished paying and promising
forfeiture Of the car unless. he repaid
the loans In q short while, promising
to repay for the favofS.
Alleged failure on the part OF the
Tampa Kid" to make good his promises
did not result In forfeiture OF his car,
however, but we're followed by COM
plants to the police. The prisoner Is
said to have explained that he borrowed
money from several persons.

ROCKVILLE, Md, July 2.-Another
step in the county's march of progress
was taken yesterday, when an up-to-
date indexing system for the land rec
ords Of the county was installed in the
office Of the clerk Of the Circuit Court
here.
One hundred new volumes, easy to
handle, now occupy the racks in place
Of the cumbersome books In use in the
offlce for many years. They were pre-
pared by the Russell Indexing Co. of
Pittsburgh, Pa, and were rs months in
preparation.
Fifty Of the new volumes cover the
period from the time the ONCE was eS-
tablished in 1777 to December 81, 1927.
and are known as closed" and the
other SO are current" and date from
January /, 1928. One-half of the books
are for grantees and the others for
grantors, whereas under the old system
there was no separation.
Deeds, deeds Of trust, mortgages, re-
leases, agreements and every other kind
of land record are contained In the ref
erenceS.
The system was decided upon after
careful investigation by o committee of
the local bar association, headed by
Preston B. Ray, clerk Of the court.

special Correspondent OF The Star.
BUFFALO, July 2.-On Decoration
day, $1,000 automobiles went across the
Peace Bridge from Buffalo to Bridge
authorities expect to handle somewhere
between 10000 and $4,000. On its
merits, Bridgeburg would be about as
alluring to pleasure seekers as Flatbush
Long Island, or Hegeswich, Chicago
But-good ale in Bridgeburg Is IS cents

Border citizens have not found Il
either obligatory or expedient to follow
the example Of Ambassador Charles q
Dawes and support President Hoover
In his appeal for abstinence. This cor
respondent, barging west from Maine to
the Great Lakes, has talked to col
lectors Of customs, assistant collectors
patrol officers and, out In the brush
bootleggers, farmers, rum runners, In
spectors, ferrymen and many others
who have an orchestra seat In the rum
drama.
Biggest Bank Roll Wins.
The least common denominator o1
opinion is that the citizens have not
needed the presidential call. Collectors
complain that the man by the wayside
is more apt to help the enemy than
ment can harry the rum forces until
1t makes the trade improbable 1t will
win. Thus, according to disinterested
opinion along the border, the victory
will go to the biggest bank roll and
not the longest gun. Here, as else
where, both sides are calling q truce
on shooting. This observer can say
truthfully that, as far as customs en-
forcement is concerned, the evidence
Is that all the resources Of authority
have been against the careless use OF
shooting irons.
Everybody here seems ready to gossip
about liquor, even to the point Of giving
information as to where 1t can be OBJ
tanned by diligent inquiry. This writer
has established the fact that there is nc
pipe line under Lake Erie. All other
means Of conveyance, however, are be-
ing used. The Detroit drive has de-
fiected the rum tide westward, and the
problem Of the customs service here Is
just about that Of King Canute, sweep
ing back the waves Of the sea with his
broom.
It was Dominion day in Canada
posed to get its Official clearance
Hence It was only the law breakers
who. along toward nightfali, were load
ing their boats at the export docks at
Bridgeburg and Port Colborne. Little
Rollo. out for q walk with his Sunday
school teacher, can see the big rum
fleets loading any day along these
docks. They are smart little motor
boats, row boats, fishing boats, power
schooners-all kinds Of boats.
Where are you going?" one may ask
q departing marina.
ITO the Bahamas" comes the reply.
