of coast line, when you add zip the
entire shore line made by indentations.
To do this, both land and shore forces,
we have 80 men-lS on land and IA
on our four boats. This gives us about
one man for every 80 miles Of our
boundary. We have asked for about
l26 men and q sufacient supply of fast
boats. I believe that with force Of
that size we could close up the border.
Maine had prohibition for so years
or so before the Volstead law was en-
acted. and there are lot of old families
who have grown up in the business.
We, like the other collectors. work under
the customs law and not under the
prohibition law, and we aren't out to
kill rum runners any more than potato
runners. It's all in the days work With
us.
The Government has got to get us
some powerful motor equipment, too,
If We are ever going to do this job. The
rum runners along our stretch are get
ting tired of losing fine new cars and
they are investing in old rattle traps,
tuned up so they can hop when they
have to, but they don't last long. We
find when we get one of them that we
haven't got much.
I'VE find that the large scale rum
running now is confined mostly to big
powerful gangs with headquarters in
Philadelphia, New York and Boston.
They recruit home talent to quite an
extent in making the dash across the
border, but the bosses down in the big
towns have plenty Of money and brains
and they have built up regular Hin

ST. JOHNSBURY, Va, June 28.-Col
F. NJ Hume, collector of customs for
Maine and New Hampshire. and Harry
G. Whitehill, collector for Vermont, at
a meeting near the border here agreed
that so far as their districts are con-
cerned there will be no gunplay in the
chasing of rum-runners.
II would rather lose a prisoner any
day than see a loss Of life" said Mr..
Hume.
I'VE can uphold the law without
breaking the law" said Mr.. Whitehill.
I'VE haven't killed anybody and we
won't. Furthermore, we won't resort to
frame-ups, carnouflage or DISCUSSES. Our
men will continue to wear uniforms, and
they will work in the open. They assist
autoists rather than annoy them, and
they make the border safe for law
abiding citizens"
Customs Men Present.
At this border conference there were
also in attendance F. r. Reed, chief
customs patrol inspector, and w. z. Bar
rows, assistant collector, both of the
Maine and New Hampshire district, and
Morrison Walsh, assistant collector, and
NJ NJ Tucker. deputy inspector Of the
Vermont district. They are all soft
spoken men, and here amid the timothy
fields. splashed with the deep orange of
the wild paint brush, they seemed more
like a group of college professors on a
botany expedition than the border man.

boiled boundary sleuth is wrenched out

more or less in awe OF Mrs.
X Mortimer. She had lived for
l. 30 years in the big brick house
set back on the velvety green
lawn on South Main street; she had
driven regularly through the town first
in her carriage, and later in her closed
car She had attended the Episcopal
church and had contributed freely TO
all worthy benefits Rockford had
helped bury her husband with all the
pomp and respect due the towns rich
est man when Andrew Jr. was two
years of age. and yet Rockford did not
know Mrs. Mortimer
1t watched with interest when she
closed her house each Summer and left
for the Seashore; the mountains;
sometimes Europe. 1t watched with
equal interest the preparations for her
return. 1t had watched Andrew Jr.
grow up and go away to college. An
drew was much more democratic than
his stately mother He had attended
the Rockford schools and had got into
as much mischief as the rest of the
Rockford boys; his first automobile had
been a source of much worry to the
townSpeople. He returned from COL
lege at regular intervals and Rockford
was always glad to welcome him home.
He was just "a when he came home

shoulders. and his mother had been
brave when he waved good-by to her
and to Rockford from the rear platform
of a troop-filled train. It was then
that Rockford came to know Mrs. Nor
timer better. She opened her big house
and the women daily spent hours there
rolling bandageS, cutting, sewing, knit
ting, packing. Mrs Mortimer moved
about the rooms quietly, regally. She
talked about Andy A blue star on a
white background hung in her window.
And then in September. 1918 that
blue star turned to gold! Rockford
was stricken. Fine young Andrew Nor
timer had fallen i'll the Argonne. They
tried to convey their love and Sympa-
thy to his mother, but grief-seared, she
shut them out of her life. She would
not talk; she would not listen.
The following Summer she went to
New York and brought Andy's body
home, draped with the stars and stripes.
Rockford turned out to do him honor.
The business houses were closing; the
flags at half mast, and every lad who
had gone across acted as military escort
as they bore Andy from the railroad

across the open grave.
Mrs. Mortimer again went into Seclu-

had taken her back-She was bitter.
She regularly left for her Summer
at seaShore and mountains. She never
went to Europe again. She spent two
months each Winter in Florida. And
