SAN FRANCISCO, July 2.-P-
Jessamine S. Whitney, of New York,
statistician of the National Tuber-
culosis association, estimated in an
address before the national confer
ence on social work here today
there were 10000 wanderers, afflict-
ed with the white plague being
cared for by relief agencies in Tex
as, Colorado, Arizona and California
last year.
Miss Whitney declared that since
most of these ailing wanderers pre-
ferred the smaller towns, the bur-
den of the finances of the various
communities was a heavy one.
Illinois, New York, Missouri, Ohio,
Pennsylvania and Michigan we're
said by Miss Whitney to be the chief
sources of these migrants. She de-
clared the tide of migration was
steadily increasing in the south
west.
Miss Whitney said there had been
a slight Sprinkling of tuberculosis
migrants through Galveston, Dallas,
Houston, Fort Worth and Amarillo
but not enough to create a social or
financial problem. In Ell PaSo, she
said, 88 per cent Of the clinic cases
we're tubercular migrants; in San
Antonio, 13 per cent. The tuber-

AS usual, we are expecting ex-

WABASH PLANS
new RAILROAD
Control Of IA Routes Asked
Of /. c. c. In Trunk Line
Proposal Monday

WASHINGTON, July 2.-(Pe
Formation of a new railway trunk
line in the east is planned by the
Wabash railroad.
An application for establishment
of the new system was brought 10
Washington today by representa-
tiveS of the Wabash for the consid-
Grafton of the Interstate Commerce
commission.
1t asks authority to acquire con-
troll by lease or stock purchase of
nine railroads and joint control of
five others. Trackage rights over
several systems also r sought.
If approved by the commission,
the plan would result in the estab-
lishment of a fifth eastern trunk
line with western terminal at Chi
cago, st. Louis, Kansas City, Oma-
ha and Des Moines and eastern ter
minal al New York, Philadelphia
and Baltimore.
The four trunk lines now in OPP
Grafton are the Pennsylvania, the
New York Central, the Baltimore
and the Chesapeake and Ohio. The
latter two have filed merger plans
Of their W with the commission
which have been opposed by the
Wabash.
Lines which the Wabash seeks to
control are the Lehigh Valley,
Wheeling and Lake Erie, Pittsburgh
and West Virginia. Western Mary
land, Lehigh and New England, Ak
ron, and Youngstown, the Elgin, Jc-
liet and Eastern, the Toledo, Peoria
and Western and the Chicago and
Illinois Midland.
A one-sixth interest is sought in
the Montour Railroad company. the
Monongahela Connecting Railroad
company. Union Railroad company
of Pittsburgh, and the Newburgh
and South Shore Railway company,
together with a o~ne-seventh inter-
est in the Toledo Terminal Rail-
road company.
1.-The Wabash is vne only carrier
whose rails extend from Kansas
City, Omaha, and Des Moines into
the heart of the eastern territory"
the application said.
There is need of direct passenger
service between the Atlantic sea-
board and the territory west Of the
Mississippi river, avoiding unneces-
sary inconvenience to the travel
ing public in being required to
change trains at junction points
A sixth trunk line was suggested:
"It is practicable" the applica-
ton said, ito create a sixth system
within the eastern group consisting
primarily Of the Delaware, Lacka-
wanna and Western. the New York,
Chicago and st. Louis. and certain
other carriers, including the De-
troit. Toledo and Ironton and the
Virginian."

TRADITION FAWS

AND GOES BOOM

Will it rain on the Fourth OF
July?
OF course, says the wiseacre. 1t
always does.
But does it, really? Brownsville
weather statistics for the past AT
years, when reviewed by w. j.
Schnurbusch, head Of the local
weather bureau, show a 80 per
cent chance for as much as one
hundredth Of an inch of moisture
on that day. On only IS out Of
the AZ Fourths of which he has
record has this amount fallen, and
only eight times has there been as
much as .25 inch Of precipitation.
And on one occasion, in 1891,
there was a real rain, of 2.72
inches, the only occasion on which
more than an inch is recorded.
All of which should be encourag-
ing to pessimists who hesitate to
pack the picnic basket or wear
the new Sunday bonnet on that
day. But you never can tell about
peSSimistS.

BY BONITA WITT

DETROIT, Mich, July 2.-Want
to get a closeup of rum runners
those doughty gentlemen of the il
licit liquor trade, at work?
Drop your nickel in the box, board
the ferry bound for Windsor, On
tario, which carries you across the
narrow river separating the arid
states from wet Canada, and follow
me.
Arriving in Windsor we set out for
Amherstburg, n Of the Oldest set
Elements in Canada, Is miles dis
tant. Amherstburg has n of the
10 liquor export docks licensed by
the Canadian government. 1t han
dies a large proportion of the whis-
kies and beer which finds its way
into the United States.
Let's stop first at the LaSalle
dock, almost opposite down town
Detroit. The warehouse is deserted,
not a person is in sight. An empty
boat swings at its moorings. Most
of the wet goods have been removed
to other docks farther down the
river. A few months ago LaSalle
was the scene of busting activity
every afternoon when the bootleg
gers loaded, preparatory to making
a dash for the Detroit shore.
Runners Lying Low
Has the u. S. blockade become so
effective that the rum runners have
moved to other parts?
Indeed not" declares al officeal
of an important brewery, the boys
are merely biding their time. They'll
lie low until the dry men get tired
of hanging around the river day
and night without making any Seiz-
ures and depart to other wet spots
along the lake-then they'll resume
their nightly and daily trips.
with the federal forces bootleg
ging becomes too expensive for the
little fellow. He has to hire toe
many men over on the other side to
look after his stuff. You'll find a
lot more activity at Amherstburg
now. It's nearer to Toledo anc
seems to be easier for the boys to
make safe deliveries there"
The Export Center
Continuing along the winding riv-
er road we come to the center of the
Detroit river ~bootlegging activities,
AmherStburg. There the government
has established an export dock
where the run runners may load
their supplies. Each must present
navigation papers to the proper dock
official and secure a bill of clear
ance after he has purchased his

without the formality of first pur-
chasing a two dollar permit and
establishing a place of residence.
Canadian officials r very strict
regarding the possession of firearms
in their waters and the pootlegger
caught bringing guns to their shore
would find himself afoul of the law
Immediately. Dominion authorities
carefully investigate all reports Of
river shooting so as to guard against
gunplay in Canadian territory.
Its Americas Affair"
Although there is some sentiment
in Canada against the sale Of in
toXicants to Americans for transpor-
tation to the United States the gen.
eral attitude is, Americas prohobf-
ton is none Of our affair. Liquor
expectation is a business with us
and we cannot be responsible for
the failure or success of Uncle Sans
dry law. Our transactions are strict
" legal and under the very close
supervision Of Dominion and provin-
cial police"
THE Jones five and ten law
hasn't affected our export trade at
ALL" one brewery official reports.
1.-The big fellows aren't scared by it.
However, it has considerably low
cred the amount Of liquor being
smuggled into the United States by
ferry boat passengers. Whereas ST.
500 used to be the average weeks
total in fines, it now runs about
$500. Passengers used to be more
ready to run the risk since the
punishment was merely a five dol
lar fine and the loss of their bottle.
Now they fear a sentence under the
Jones law"
Now let's 60 down to the river
and out onto the dock to see for
ourselves whether or not the U. S
blockade has curtailed the rum run
ner5' business.
