TEXAS BORDER
SMUGGLERS USE.
SKINS OF GOATS.
Customs Men Keep Close
Watch On New Methods
Of Landing Liquor

EDINBURG, Tex, oct. 8 (U.P-s-
Many ingenious methods are de-
vised by rum runners in bringing
liquor across the Bio Grande from
Mexico to the United States.
Records in the customs Office at
Hildalgo, near here, show that the
con1monest method proved to be a
simple plan which worked for many
months. Then customs officers
learned of the scheme and put q,
stop to it.
The smugglers would tie hun
dreds Of quart bottles of liquor to
the bottom side Of a large, clumsy
appearing raft. The raft would
then be Lowered into the water and
poled across the river to the Ameri-
can side in plain sight -of customs
officials. The bottles, of course,
were completely hidden from sight.
The raft would be left at anchor
all day and at night the smugglers
would pull it ashore, remove the
bottles and take them inland. Gus
toms officers eventually began
searching every raft that crossed
the river, SO the snnugglers decided
this plan Mas no good and now lit
is rarely used.
Sometimes the snll1gR1ers, while
taking q dig in the -coaling waters
of the Rio ~Grande, carefully tie
several bottles to their body and
swim them across the river. The
bottles are dropped in a shallow
place On the American side and a
confederate later picks them up
and distributes them to customers.
The clegeresU trlck, -1,owever, has
just been discovered.
A long cable is stretched under
the river and fastened ito posts On
either side A small basket, hold
ing about two dozen bottles, is at.
tached to q wheel AMI suspengfaF
from the cable on the Mexican side.
SmugglerG nza the American shore,
with the aid of a string tied to- the
basket, then pull the contraband to
them under the water
This plas1 worked = laiandidly 4on
dark nights, but once an unwary
srnuggler tried to deliver two cases
at one time and the carriage jam
med on the line in the middle nj
the river. Before boat could be
sent out to retrieve the .'precio1E
cargo, customs officers, watching
from a vantage point along the rjp-i
eI-, raided} the snugglers and put an
end to this method OF transporting
liquor !
Sometimes 2 goat skin is turnedj
inside out and the legs and all 9TH
opening carefully tied. The skin is
then filled with liquor and turned
loose in the river. The current at
certain places will take the skin
from the Mexican side to the Ameri7
can shore in q short time and the
skin makes a practically Invisible
object, on the face Of the river. This
plan still works despite kn0Wledge
Of it by the officers.

Plan Has Disadvantages.
Certain disadvantages of the motor
lied patrolmen have been suggested to
him. 1t has been said that he would
not be so handy on chase of sus-
pect through narrow alley-thae
travelling faster there would be less OPP
portunity for him to notice what is
going on-that in. certain localities
traffic is so dense that there would be
difficulty in navigating the car and
parking it in sudden emergencies and
so forth. Crosby does not deny any OF
these, but replies that the scheme Is an
experiment, and that if the defects
outweigh the advantages, 1t will be easy
enough, to discard it.
The second precinct was chosen for
the experiment because, its command
ing officer, Capt. o. T.. Davis, fell
in with the scheme readily when it was
preached to him and expressed the view
that it would probably work well and
that he would like to have a chance
to try it out.
The second precinct is bounded on
the north by s street, on the south
by X street, on the west by Fifteenth
street and on the east by Fourth street
northeast. The station house Is on
Fifth street between l. and NJ streets.

Every foot pstrolman in the second
precinct will be temporarily replaced by
automobile policemen in an experiment
of doing all patrol work with automo-
biles which will be tried out late this
month under a scheme now being de-
veloped by Police Commissioner Her
bert B. Crosby. Should the scheme
succeed, it may spread to other parts OF
the city. If it Is a failure, it will be
discarded. As far as Is known IL mas

will open bids for the purchase OF some

Reasons Auto Is Faster.
Crosby reasons that the automobile
is faster than the pedestrian, and that a
motorized precinct can either cover the
same territory with fewer men, or
larger territory with the same number
of men. The light automobile Is now
in extensive use in the department in
such outlying precincts as the twelfth,
thirteenth and fourteenth. In those
precincts, however, foot patrolmen still
pound out their regular beats, and the
do rather specialized work.

DRY WAR TO OPEN
ON ALIEN RUNNERS
Deportations Under Jones
Law May Be Effected in
Enforcement Program.

A campaign against alien violators
of the prohibition statutes and the in
vocation of the Jones law to bring
about felony convictions and deporta-
ton hold a major place in the program
of the reorganized enforcement bureau.
The plan fits in smoothly with the
general policy of concentrating upon
the big operators in an effort to shut
off the supply Of intoxicating beverages
at its source
Although reluctant to estimate the
proportion of immigrant offenders, the
directing officers of the war on Illicit
liquor are firmly OF the opinion that
aliens provide the leadership and the
rank and file as well, of a majority of
the big rum-renning gangs.
In proof of this contention, thev
point to Chicago and other cities Z
which a foreign element controls the
activities of the underworld.
Pointed Out by Coolidge.
The possibilities of the Jones law in
pointed out by President Coolidge when
the measure was approved by Con-
gress and were cited then as his prin-
cipal reason for signing the bill. Since
that time, however, they have been
largely overshadowed in prohibition
discussions by the heavy penalties pro-
vided.
The law makes distinction between
minor and major or felonious viola
tons of the dry statutes, which carry
a maximum punishment of flve years
imprisonment and $4,000 fine. An
alien convicted of felony Is deported
at the conclusion of his prison term.
200 Super Agents Relied On,
To obtain convictions of this magni-
tude, the bureau is relying largely upon
a staff of 200 specially trained super
agents responsible only to the authori-
ties here. They are charged with fer
reting out the wholesale liquor con-
spiracies involving territory which over
laps the administrative enforcement
district
The Investigators are men who have
risen from the ranks Of the prohibit
ton staff, are thoroughly experienced
in their work and Schooled in gathering
evidence in such a manner as to facili-
tate the work of the district attorneys
in prosecuting cases in court.
The 200 investigators are divided into
IL groups, one for each administrative
district. The leader of each group was
in Washington this week comforting
with Amos w. w. Woodcock, the new
director of prohibition, as part of his
series of conferences with the field di-
rectors Of the enforcement personnel.

NEW YORK, August "A dispatch
