By DOUGLAS G. TISSLEY (International Nevi Service Staff Corresponded). MIAMI, Fla., March 31. Blscayne Bay, off Miami, and the Florida coast south. Tor so long the successful stamping grounds of the Illicit whis key smugglers, whose muffled boats ply nightly between the Bahama Is lands and the Florida shores unload ing thousands of cases of prohibited liquors, will soon be the scene of their Waterloo when elaborate plans being formulated here are put into action by federal authorities. Already, while the smugglers con tinue to ply their illegel traffic, the flying squadron of the United States Secret Service In chargo of the fed eral prohibition enforcement are gathering in Miami-and along the southern coast. Working quietly and secretly, screening all their move ments and their identities, the fed eral agents are marshalling .their forces for what they hope will be the final drive to eliminate the smug glers. Will Comb Out Smugglers. If apparently well-founded reports are to be believed, the final swoop of the liquor enforcement agencies of the government will be on a larger scale than has ever been atempted before, and tne entire coast of Flori da will be combed of the illicit trad ers. Preparations for calling Into the service in the antl-llquor war of the "eyes of the navy" are being made It has been learned, and according to apparently reliable reports, one of the huge seaplanes from the Pensa cola Field has already arrived In Miami, with at least two others and possibly more to be delivered here within a few days, with their crews and all the necessary paraphernalia to make their use effective. While the government agents al ready on the ground are secretive to the superlative degree for fear that disclosure of their plans and methods of operation may become the proper ty of the liquor runners and the prey escape, it is reported that the sea planes will be used along the coast in connection with the submarine chas Mellon9 s Right to Georgia Democrat Is Latest to Assail Secretary of Treasury.

Nightly, while the Illicit trade goes on and scores of fishing smacks and other craft continue to ply the waters between Nassau and Uimtnl, In the Bahama Islands, and Florida, loaded with the unluwful cargoes of liquor, which they cache along the -oast and in Its waters until such time as they find a market for It, the skeins in the net being spread for their de struction by the federal government tighten. Moving steadily, yet without undue baste, the agents ot the pro hibition enforcement eiuida old tightening their nets. It Is believed that the seaplanes expected to be used in the campaign, equipped with powerful searchlights will follow the liquor smugglers from the Bahama Islands, where they load their precious cargoes, and. sweeping the Intervening waters with rays of tight from which the liquor boats cannot escape, will signal their whereabouts to the chasing govern ment boats, enabling them to swoop down upon the Illicit traders and catch them redhanded before they are enabled to slip into the protection of Inlets and coves which abound along the coast, and, unloading their car goes, scatter them to the four winds. Miami Is said to be the fountain head of the liquor-smuggling traffic. Located within seventy-five miles of the British West Indies, from which the whiskey is obtained, it Is said to be the most convenient point along the entire Florida coast for the run ning in of liquor. Destruction of the small boats and breaking up their part In the traffic It is believed, will practically elimi nate the smuggling so far as this vicinity is concerned, as the larger !oats go around to New Orleans or Moltilo, or further up the north coast. Contrary to the situation In Sa annah and Jacksonville, rum run ners near Miami have practically no competition from the home-distilled liquor so plentiful In the Georgia and north Florida territory.
