RUM RUNNING LAID
TO 'TEEN-AGE' GIRLS
Two Sisters Flee After Car, Loaded
With Liquor, Collides With
Another.
BY the Associated Press.

.
STAMFORD, Pa, January 16.-Two
sisters, still in their teens, were sought
by police today as rum runners.
Warrants for the arrest of Marie
Duttner, 10, and Violet, II, were in
the hands of Police Chief Nugent, who
declared the girls had been engaged in
running liquor by automobile between
Philadelphia and Harrisburg. He said
suspicion was directed to them when
their liquor-laden car collided with an
other machine near here Tuesday.
The girls are daughters of William
Duttner, a farmer near Lancaster, Pa,
who police said was convicted on a
liquor charge two years ago and who
is being sought for questioning. He
recently reappeared at his farm after
it had been deserted for two years, but
search of the place by police yester-
day failed to disclose the father or the
girls.
William A. Anderson, whose auto
mobile figured in the collision, told the
authorities that the two girls dumped
IS 5-gallon cans of whisky in field
and drained 20 of them before the
arrival Of police summoned by him
They were unable TO remove the corks
from the other five cans.
The girls disappeared a few minutes
later in another automobile. This, the
police believe, was an escort car fur
nished by the bootleg ring. Chief
Nugent said the car had been used by
the girls on weekly trips to Philadelphia
! Police in Philadelphia, Norristown
Harrisburg and Lancaster have beer
asked to aid in the search.

with the problem of suppressing viola
tions of the prohibition laws.
THE Government faced the problem
of combating the Illicit traffic in alco-
holic liquor, by inaugurating prohibi-
ton enforcement operations that were
Nation wide, and even international in
scope.
"in many instances the States, prior
to that time, had enacted laws prohib-
iting the manufacture and sale OF
LIQUORS. Excepting the period Of war
time prohibition, based upon the neces-
sity for food conservation, Federal Gov
eminent activities up to 10 years age
related solely t. taxation of liquors
the interstate commerce clause OF the
Constitution relating to transporta-
ton.
"In the 10 years that have passed
substantial progress has been made.
There are basic facts, all OF which en-
phasize enforcement progress.
Machinery Perfected.
Striving for its principal objective,
elimination of the important sources OF
liquor supply the Federal Government
has built up an extensive regulatory
and investigative system internally and
an extensive defense externally. The
Government has perfected machinery to
deal with violators Of the liquor and
smuggling laws through closely CO.
ordinated and enlarged Coast Guard
customs and prohibition organizations.
Ten years ago these forces were In
adequate. Today they are well trained
and, while still inadequate in some
respects, are fully alive to the prob
lens confronting the Federal Govern
ment.
To-day, after three years of persistent
endeavor in strengthening enforcement
lines, the large scale liquor operators,
domestic and international, have been
practically driven out of business. And
the lines are gradually Tightening with
certainty on the smaller groups Of vio-
lators of the prohibition law. Ia,
while the Federal Government has
made steady and definite progress in
the suppression of The, larger. liquor
operators, the smaller of the scattered
groups of bootleggers have, become
largely local problem =
"The offensive against the major
! bootlegger element has been so sue
upon the Federal court system during
the past few years. This and ctner
phases Of the problem. however. are
confronted with the confidence that a
solution will be found for them.
Reviewing the progress made In the
past 10 years, we find today that We
are in the midst of one of the greatest
social and industrial changes ever ex-
perienced by a people.
Economists agree that lour national
policy of prohibition has produced a
! tremendous economic advance Soci-
ologists all observe the great good that
has come in the social lives of the peo-
pie. Public drunkenness, a common
spectacle before prohibition, Is seldom
observed these days.

PANTHER is BELIEVED
NOW TO BE CANINE
Wolf-Dog Used for Fighting Pur
poses Reported at Large
by Owner.

The terror of northeast washington,
variously described during the past
few days as panther, bob cat and
tom cat Is now believed to be q dog.
The dog answers to the very ordi-
nary name Of Fido but is far from be-
ing an ordinary dog, in that he is
three-fiftlas wolf and one of two such
dogs kept by its owner for fighting
purposes. The other is named Mimi
Fido broke out of his pen Sunday
and has not been seen since. He Is
decribed as being reddish tan in color
and slightly smaller than the average
police dog.
The wolf dog has won many fights
against dogs much larger than himself
and it is feared that he might attack
any dog he encountered on the street.
However, Fido has never attacked a
human being.
One incident" reported to police dur
ing the "panther's" reign of terror would
tend to bear out the theory tina. Fido
is the panther" A colored woman told
police that her dog was attacked, drag
ged beneath her porch and killed.
The panther" was thought to have
been laid to rest when a tom-cat was
killed Tuesday night.

TODAY ENDS TENTH
PROHIBITION YEAR
Developments indicate 1880
Will Be Critical for
=
Experiment.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Ten years ego today the practice OF
resting crooked arm on polished har
became an unconstitutional gesture.
The eighteenth amendment went into
effect at midnight, January Is, 1920,
after Nebraska had ratified 1t as the
thirty-sixth State. Adding prohibition
to the basic law, however. made little
difference then, as the country had been
under q wartime ban on liquor since
the preceding July.
Prohibition, stretching its limbs as a
10-year-old, finds itself being cuffed
about strenuously, but with enforce
ment, rather than drinking, the target
for controversy.
Many profess to see that 1880 will be
as critical year for the great expert
ment" as any in its existence.
Developments Listed.
Outstanding in developments that
followed rapidly as 1929 waned were:
The charge, taken directly to the
White House by Senator Borah OF
Idaho, that governmental enforcement
personnel is not efficient.
The sweeping study of dry law appli-
cation by President Hoovers Commits
SlOH ON Law enforcement.
Certainty that prohibition will be a
major legislative topic before Congress
this year.
A possible Supreme Court ruling on
the move to make a liquor purchaser
equally guilty with the seller.
Statement of Rear Admiral Frederick
c. Billiard, commandant of the Coast
Guard, that "amiable gestures" will not
be used in seeking to prevent liquor
smuggling.
Organized forces, for and against pro-
hibition, marshaled their resources for
continued battle.
Curran Issues Statement.
On its tenth anniversary, Henry H.
Curran, president of the Association
Against the Prohibition Amendment, in
statement said that national prohibi-
ton reminded him Of squirrel in a
revolving cage"
1.-THE little fellow makes a great show
of doing something" he said. HE runs
at a furious pace until he is worn out.
subsidies long enough to catch his
breath and then starts off again, more
determined than ever. And the
ordinary observer outside the cage finds
himself rejecting that not all motion
is progress"
On the other side, DR.. F. Scott Nc
Bride. general superintendent of the
Antf-Saloon League of America, said
increasing sentiment for national
sobriety marks the first decade Of con-
stitutional prohibition"
This sentiment has been shown in
repeated elections he added. "a
changing social attitude is being mani
fest. To the economic progress
of the United States prohibition has
undeniably contributed"
