Do 6 ARRESTED
IN RUM CASE

What was thought by police to
be a new racket for covering up
alleged bootlegging operations was
brought to light yesterday when
Precinct Detectives w. r. Latin
and william McEwen arrested
Leonard Duffel, %, 1400 block N
st. N. W.. and his prize show dog,
Ching, charging them with illegal
possession and transportation Of
liquor. Both were locked UP at
the Eighth precinct.
Duffel had his dog sitting in
the front seat of his car to throw
off any suspicion, police believe.
Seeing the animal poised on the
cushion would give detectives the
idea that the roadster belonged to
some smart society matron, they
said.
However. this ruse failed to de.
ceiFe Latin, for he arrested
Duffel as he was getting out of his
car in front Of the Senate Hotel,
his suspicious being aroused by a
bullying coat pocket. Latin found
a quart Of gin and a pint Of rye
on the accused person. so he said.
A further search revealed a door
key to a house in the 1900 block
Fifteenth st. N. w. hidden in q
package of cigarets.
After DNlffel had been taken to
the Eighth precinct, Laflin and
McEwen searched the house and
found Reginald Mann, %, 1900
block S st. N. w. and 104 quarts
Of assorted alleged liquors. alcohol,
gin. rye and bacardi was said to
be found on the premises which
was bare of furniture.

DAM GULF TO
STOP STORMS
Fantastic Scheme to Curb
TornadoeS Suggested.

By United Press
BERLIN, April PA fantastic
project to abolish tornadoeS in the
United Sattes by draining the Gulf
Of Mexico was advanced today by
Professor Edmund Weber, German
scientist. He said he plans to visit
the United States soon to discuss
his scheme with bankers, industrial
lists and governmental officials.
Weber is the inventor OF the high
ly-destructive German torpedo used
before the war, and of the lncen-
diary bomb used during the war.
Discussing Wednesdays destruc-
tive tornado in Arkansas, he said,
drying up the Gulf is the, only way
to prevent such disasters. He pro-
poses to build a dam from the
southern tip of Florida across the
Caysal bank to Santa Marena,
Cuba, and another dam from Cape
Antonio. Cuba, to the eastern tip OF
Yucatan, shutting of the Gulf COM
pIetely from the Atlantic and Carib-
bean.
The scheme, incidentally, he said,
would enlarge the territory of the
United States by one-flfth, making
the Gulf area a fertile region habit

entitled to such aid. The govern

well and the instruments which
they can hardlJ afford are in many
cases their only means of keeping in

AS the result Of this plea, sets
began to come in one by one, until
now 300 lighthouses have been sup
piled with receiving apparatus.
In addition to the entertainment
radio provides for these isolated
men. the commerce department said,
It brings them in daily touch with
world news. Also, they receive ad-
vance warning of hurricanes and
weather changes. They are thus
enabled to prepare their stations
against storms.
A keeper at Key West pointed
out the value Of radio in warning
him of hurricanes.
Weather reports are broadcasted
from about ten different stations, ="
he wrote, during the hurricane sea-
son.
The keeper receiving one Of these
broadcast reports can take neces-
