SMUGGLING
IN SOUTH
Capt. Lancaster and Woman
Filler Named as Active in
Operations Off Coast
By PAUL G. YATES

Existence of a gigantic alien
smuggling ring with bases of
operation in southern coastal
regions and connections in
many interior cities was re-
vealed today by Secretary of
Labor William NJ. Doak.
Warfare against the ring
has been conducted under
Doak's personal direction.
Confirming information gained
exclusively by international News
Service, Doak declared that the
ring has been under investigation
by the Labor Department for more
than a year. Numerous arrests
have been made.
Lancaster Named
Doak said:
"The department has evil
dence linking Capt. william
Lancaster, British flier, and
Mrs. Keith-MiIler, Australian
aviatrix, with alien smuggling
activities from the Florida
base"
At the same time, it was re-
vealed that Lancaster is in Wash
ington to confer with Labor De-
partment officials regarding de-
portation proceedings against him
and Mrs. Keith-Miller. Doak said:
"Airplanes, fast boats and
ultra-mOdern methods generally
we're used by the smuggling
ring.
Foreigners were struggled
into Florida, Texas, California
and other Southern bases and
Shunted to interior points as far
north as Ohio and Illinois.
FROM WEST INDIES
"They were brought into the
country from Cuba, Haiti and
other West Indian points, from
Mexico and Central America.
"The ring has proved to be
uncOmmOnly hard to break up.
We have traced some of its
members from one State to
another, making an arrest now
and then. But whenever we
grab one member, others scat
ter like a flock of quail.
I'VE have located several
members in penitentiarieS over
the country. They we're sent up
for other crimes"
Elaborate precautions against
discovery of their activities we're
taken by the smuggling gang.
These included the use of wire
less code messages and spy sys-
tenn at landing bases.
HideOuts Along Line
Many of the aliens arriving by
plane were landed at isolated
private fields where little air traf-
fic existed.
Some were landed in grassy
pastures within striking distance
of coastal cities. An under
ground railroad" was used to
work the aliens into the interior,
with designated hideouts along
the line.

MILWAUKEE, Wis, Sept.
p G.N.S.D .-Walter j. Kohler,
former governor and million
aire manufacturer, has won
the Republican nomination for
governor, upsetting a member
Of the La Toilette family for
the first time in 40 years of
Wisconsin political history.

One of the major upsets was the

'92 Last La Toilette Defeat
This was the first time that a
La Toilette was defeated in a Wis
conSin election since the late
Senator, Fighting Bob" La Fol
lette, lost a race for Congress in
1892.
1t was believed that many
Democrats, hoping to forestall
high income taxes which Governor
La Toilette favored. deserted their
own lists to vote for Kohler.
Mayor A. G. Schmedeman, of
Madison, the nominee of previous
years, easily won the Democratic
guoernatorlal nomination over
two opponents.
Frank B. Metcalfe obtained the
Socialist nomination for governor.

never had held public office.
The manufacturer carried his
home county, Sheboygan, 1914
to 3,043 votes for La Toilette. La
Toilette carried Dane county, his
home, 1888 to 15,2O7.
More Jobs Made Issue
Both the "progressives" and
conservatives concentrated on the
industrial vote of Milwaukee and
vicinity. Kohler's cry that more
factories mean more jobs" helped
him to win a good majority in
this sector.
1t was learned definitely today
that neither Governor La Toilette
nor Senator Blaine will run as
independents.
Tuesdays primary results mean
that the national and State Re
publican tickets will be united
for the final election. Although

From practically every section east

the spread of weevils.

Country farm agents in South Ala

Spartanburg County, S. c., reported
a 200 per cent increase in weevil infes-
tation in a period of 10 days.
Union County, S. c., sent reports of
as high as 500 weevils per acre. which
is an extraordinarily heavy infestation.
]. c. Holton, commissioner of agri-
culture in Mississippi, said weevil in
festation in that state is very heavy,
and will greatly decrease production.
Farmers Must Decide.
"If the heavy weevil infestation con-

soon decide whether to sacrifice the
