BY THOMAS F. CULLEN

BY THOMAS F. CULLEN
NEW YORK, Dec. 81 G.N.S0.
Down in South Carolina mysteri-
GUS messages were flashing over
the telephone wires from Flor
ence to Detroit.
"The roads are hOt-Lind-
bergh baby-we have to wait
being watched"
Detroit was the headquarters
of the Purple Gang, known all
over as one of the worst mobS
in the country. Harry FleiScher,
supposed member of the crowd,
was wanted for questioning in the
Lindbergh case.
Could these strange phone calls
have any relation to the kid
naping? The Florence authori-
ties thought they did,
"Check the Angel"
The wires cracked from there
to Washington, and from there
to Charlotte. "Check the angel
at Florence at once" went the
order. A car dashed out of
Charlotte headed for Florence.
The lit miles were made in
record time.
Federal agents arrived there
and learned that several strangers
had been in communication with
Detroit, guarding their discussions
in a peculiar way.
These men were located. Con-
slant observation led to the dis
covery that they visited farm
near Timmonsville. This seemed
to give added significance to the
mystery.
Just Rum Runners
A farmhouse was watched
throughout the night. Toward
dawn a powerful automobile drew
up to the barn. Several men
came out of this building with
large packages under their arms.
Returning to the barn they re-
peated the performance. This
happened many times. The Fed
eral agents realized that they were
watching a "rumrunner" load.
The bootleggers surrendered.
The barn contained thousands
Of dollars worth of choice liquors
and wines smuggled in from boats
pulling up to the coast IS miles
away.
Though seeking the Lindbergh
baby, which was nowhere around
that countryside, as events de-
veloped, the agents arrested and
broke up large band of whisky
smugglers.

BLAST SNARLS
TRAFFIC

Emergency cables were in use
today in the vicinity of Connecti-
cut Avenue and I Street North
west, where last night during the
rush hour spectacular manhole
explosion tied up homebound
traffic, plunged homes and bust
ness establishments into darkness
and played havoc with electric re-
frigerators.
The explosion was caused by
an overloaded 13,000-volt cable
touching off eight 22O-volt cables,
shooting flames and smoke high
in the air. Truckloads of sand
failed to extinguish the blaze and
No. Engine Company was called
into service. Automobile and bus
traffic was rerouted for blocks
around.

the attorney general, Lieutenant Gov
ernor X. X. Solberg closed Minnesota
banks the same day. Insurance COM
panies were helped through legisla-
tion so that they would not be re-
quired to make loans to policy hold
ers as provided for in the policy
the contract between the company
and the individual. Dawes grabbed
off SSO,OOO,0O0 for his bank through
the Reconstruction Finance Corpora
ton. But the lawyers for the in
surance companies and other inter-
ests declared it could not be done
when it came to helping the smaller
fellow through mortgage morator-
ium act, said Mr.. Peterson.
For the Emergency.
Between 10000 and 100000 people
would literally have been turned out
on the streets" had the legislature
not enacted the mortgage moratorium
law, continued the general. The state
was up against a great emergency and
this law for self-preservation was
framed to meet that emergency. Briefs
on the law, upon requests from New
York, were sent there and embodied
in arguments presented before the
Court of Appeals when legislation re-
garding the regulation of production
and price of milk was upheld.
The aggressive attorney general
dwelt briefly on the work of the State
Board of Investment of which he is
member. He scored State Senator
A. j. Rockne for his bringing suit to
stop the loaning of SS.000,000 to NUM-
cipalities that are in need at this
time. He also paid his respects to
Chas. E. Elmquist, former railroad
and warehouse commissioner, who is
Senator Rockne's right hand man in
trying to stop loans by the State
Board of Investment. Mr.. Elmquist
is a member of the law firm that
does the legal work and looks out for
the interests of the Weyerhauser lum-
Der organization. He and Rockne are
friends of the chain banks, chain
stores, timber barons, mining inter-
ests, railroads, and other public util-
lty interests. They are against low
er interest rates and of course have
talked the matter over with Messrs.
Schmahl and King, also members of
! the State Board of Investment.
