TIIE MORNING OREGONIAN, TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 28, 1923 LIQUOR EXPORTING TIIIIK1 Vancouver, B. C, Rum-Run-ners Make $10,000 in Night. PROVINCE IS ENRICHED Bootleggers Establish Ileuiiquar ters in Seattle to Prevent Cus tomers From Kobblng Boats. VANCOUVER, B. C Feb. 27. (Spe cial.) This city has become widely known for bootlegging, rum running and as a general distribution station for liquor. It is noi a. crime to ship liquor from British Columbia even to the United States and millions of dol lars are made monthly by various schemes of shipping whisky across the international boundary. The former quiet, gondola - like canoes and three to four knot launches which haunted Coal harbor, the Venice of Vancouver, have given place to dull gray or dark brown speed boats capable of giving any revenue cruiser a neck-to-neck race or showing heels to the average cus toms patrol boat. These boats lie side by side during the day in the harbor. Innocent looking electricians and mechani cians putter about their machinery and put them into the peak of condi tion. About 8 or 9 o'clock at night an auxiliary boat loaded with liquor pulls in quietly alongside the speed boat and the transfer is made as quickly as possible. Sometimes 500 cases are loaded and the boat which has kept her engines going all the time from the minute the first case was put aboard suddenly leaps for ward into the clear space in the bay and in few minutes disappears past Brockto Point lighthouse on her way to the trysting place, where some United States craft showing a cer tain light in a certain manner as a signal draws alongside and takes over the cargo. Pirates Get SOOO Cases. Owing to the action of pirates re cently in depriving the rum-runners of their cargoes without any remun eration, the greatest care is taken to be certain that the approaching boat is the one that Is to be met. For a time here the bootleggers met with more than ordinary hard luck in their trade, as it was found that a gang had been operating in Seattle which had succeeded in tak ing over 3000 cases of whisky at dif ferent times without paying a cent for it. Their system of operation consisted of ordering the liquor in quantities under 400 cases. This meant that only a small boat with probably one man would make the delivery. In variably this boat was met and robbed and upon consultation the bootleggers decided that the men who ordered the liquor in Seattle and knew where the delivery was to be made were the owners of the pirate boat and were directly responsible for the robbery. Customers Are Scrutinized. The rum-runners then decided to place their own investigation depart ment in Seattle, and no order is now received from parties without in vestigation. When the boat carrying the liquor from Canada to the boundary line meets the American vessel to take delivery, all moneys are paid to the Canadian boat before one case of the liquor is changed from one boat to the other. Scotch whisky costs the rum-runner $36.50 per case in Vancouver, duty paid, or about 37.50 delivered to his boat in Coal harbor. The rum-runner figures that his costs to deliver to the boundary line average about $2.50 a case. As he gets $60 per case when he hands over the liquor he is mak ing a neat profit of $20 per case, or on a 500-case shipment, such as the larger boats carry, there is a profit of $10,000 for one night's work. Some boats make two and three trips a week. Province Interested In Trade. As British Columbia has govern ment control of liquor and it is bought and sold by the government, the people of the province are direct ly interested in the liquor trade. Whisky or any other liquor can be legally exported from this province to any part of the world, and the only crime committeed by the boats run ning whisky to the boundary is an infraction of the customs act in not clearing from the port. The fine for this is $400 and possible confiscation of the boat. As the liquor business means be tween $300,000,000 and $400,000,000 a year to the banks of the city of Van couver alone in good United States currency and almost every business is interested in the profits that circu late through the province as a direct result of the rum-running trade, there is not much prospect of action being taken officially to prevent the export of liquor to tho United States. other says, perhaps 'the audience would laugh more.

Satchel Containing $10,000 in Cash and $60,000 in Checks Taken and Escape Is Made. LOS ANGELES, Cal., Feb. 27. An amount estimated as high as $70,000 in cash and checks was obtained by robbers in a spectacular daylight rob bery of three employes of the Stan dard Oil company here today. Ten thousand dollars was in cash and probably more than $60,000 in checks, according to a report to the police by company officials. The cash and checks represented the day's receipts of the sales depart ment of the corporation. With the money and checks in a small satchel, three employes of the company had started for a bank. They were in an automobile and only a short distance from the company's offices at 1727 North Spring street and crossing what is known as the Old Downey-avenue bridge over the Lcs Angeles river, when the robbery occurred. . . In the middle of the bridge they encountered another car, which was maneuvered so as to force the Stan dard Oil employes' car to the side of the structure. . In the automobile were four men, all unmasked. Two alighted from the car while the other two remained seated. One carriid a rifle and the other three, pistols. They forced the Standard Oil men to leave their automobile and stand with their backs to it while one of the robbers took the satchel. The robbers then escaped. The men robbed were J. L. Webb, assistant cashier; Harry Grate, guard; and J. M. Hennessy, chauffeur, none armed. , TWO ESCAPE FItOM WALLA WALLA PENITENTIARY.

WASHINGTON. D. C, Feb. 27 Postponement of house action on the soldier bonus bill for a while icnger was suggested tody by Representa tive Mondell, Wyoming, the republican leader, after he and Chairman Ford ney, of the ways and means commit tee, had conferred with President Harding at the White House, Emphasizing that the suggestion was his own, Mr. Mondell said it was well-known that the house intended to pass a bonus measure at this ses sion and that a little delay might serve "to clear the skies." He ex plained that within a short time ther,e probably would be more definite in formation as to expected savings in expenditures for the next fiscal year, returns from the foreign debt and whether business conditions could be expected to improve to the extent of Insuring additional federal revenues. ' President's Attitude Unchanged. Mr. Mondell and Mr. Fordney were understood to . have apprised the president formally of the action of the special house sub-committee in rejecting the executive's proposal that the bonus be financed by a sales tax and approving instead a bill with out any definite means of raising the revenue. They would not indi cate what views the executive had expressed, but Representative Long worth of Ohio, a member of the committee dealing with the bonus question, said tonight after a visit to the White House that Mr. Hard ing still was of the opinion that the legislation either should be financed by a sales tax or postponed. . Earlier Mr. Longworth had ex pressed the opinion that the majority members of the ways and' meains com mittee, at their meeting tomorrow to consider the report of the special sub committee, would approve a bonus bill without any revenue provision. He added that it was his belief that if Congress passed such a measure the president would veto it. Legion Chiefs to See President. Hanford Macnider, national com mander of the American Legion, and John Thomas Taylor, vice-president of the nation's legislative committee, called today at the White House, but as they had made no appointment and the president's list of callers was filled for the day, were unable to see the president. They were given an engagement for tomorrow and indicated that it was their purpose to urge that there be no further delay In enactment of the legislation. The bonus bill got into house dis cussion late in the day, Representa tive Hill, republican, Marylajid, open- lrg the debate by reading a letter he had written to Mr. Fordney suggest ing elimination of all of the "five way" plans except the cash features. He told the house that he had fair ly accurate information that 95 per cent of the service men in Baltimore, MdV, would take the cash feature and that he believed a very large percent age of the men elsewhere would do likewise. i Questioned as to how he would raise the $1,500,000,000 necessary to pay all of the men cash, Mr. Hill said the money could be obtained by a tax on light wfaies and beer. "That's no basis for estimate; that's imagination," said Representative Mann, republican, I'lUnois, amid laughter.

Conference Opens at Washington to Discuss Regulation of Communication System. Doomed Slayer Attacks Hanging Law and Refusal of Judge to Grant Change of Venue. SALEM, Or.. Feb. 27. (Special.) Twenty alleged court errors, coupled with-an attack on the constitutional ity of the Oregon hanging law, and the contention that the defendant should have been allowed a change of venue, are the grounds upon whicli attorneys for Dr. R. M. Brumfield, Roseburg dentist, hope to obtain a reversal of the verdict of first degree murder found by a jury In the circuit court for Douglas county. The de fendant's briefs were filed in the su preme court here today. Dr. Brumfield was convicted of slaying Dennis Russell of Dillard, Douglas county, and subsequently was sentenced to hang. He is now in the state penitentiary here awaiting exe cution. "Immediately following the finding of the wrecked automobile and dead body," said the defendant's brief, "a Roseburg newspaper began a vigor ous and vicious prosecution of the de fendant. Certain other newspaper aided in this prosecution. The de fendant was compelled to go to trial before a biased and prejudiced Jury, all of whom had read most of the articles published in the newspapers." The brief also sets out that the court erred in defining legal insanity without giving the instruction re quested by the defendant that the Jury should take into consideration the de fendant's mental condition im deter mining the degree of murder. Attorneys for Brumfield, in attack ing the constitutionality of the hang ing law, refer to the case of Elva Kirby, which is now before the Ore gon supreme court. In the latter case it was contended that the legislature had no authority to refer to the vot ers the amendment restoring capital punishment. License Collection Fee Questioned. VANCOUVER, Wash., Feb. 27. (Special.) Automobile and truck owners will pay the regular license fee without protest, but are inclined to question the 25-cent charge al lowed the county for collecting auto mobile licenses, according to County Auditor Garrett. All money collected for motor vehicle licenses is turned over to the state except the counter charge which covers the actual cost of collection. The county receives back a portion of the money from the state for maintenance of pri mary highways, $300 a mile being al lowed for county roads and $500 a mile where the highway passes through an incorporated town. After the maintenance fund has been ap portioned to the counties the remain der of license money is distributed pro rata. Clarke county will receive 2.8 cents of this remainder.

WASHINGTON, D. C, Feb. 27. Use of the radio telephone for communica tion between single Individuals as in the case of the ordinary wire tele phone, "is a perfectly hopeless no tion" Secretary Hoover told the radio conference wnich began today, at the department of commerce to de vise means of regulating the use of radio telephony in the interest of as suring the largest public benefit from it. Representatives of various public- service corporations, electrical man ufacturing companies and other radio telephone users, both commercial and amateur, from coast to coast were on hand to present their views concern ing the situation brought about by recent strides in broadcasting and the need to assign "ether" to the different classes of users of the wireless- tele phone to eliminate interference. Development Is Rapid. Within the last four or five months. Mr. Hoover said, such rapid develop ment has been made in the art of ra dio telephony that today there are more than 600,000 wireless telephone receiving sets in operation in the United States. A year ago, he added. tnere were less than 50,000. "We are indeed today upon the threshold of a new means of wide spread communication of intelligence that has the most profound Impor tance from the point of view of publio education and public welfare, Mr Hoover continued. "Obviously if 10,000,000 telephone subscribers are crying through the air for their mates, they will never make a junction; the ether will be filled with frantic chaos with commu nication of any kind possible. In other words, the wireless1 telephone has one definite field and that is for spread of certain predetermined material of public interest from central sta tions. Limitation Is Held Needed. This, he added, must be limited to news, education, entertainment and commercial purposes and matter of importance to large groups of the community at the same time. Primarily a question of broadcast ing "it is Inconceivable," Mr. Hoover declared, that we should allow so great a possibility for service, for news, for entertainment, for educa tion and for vital commercial purposes to be drowned in advertising chatter or for commercial purposes that can be quite as well served by our other means of communication." One problem confronting the con ference, Mr. Hoover said, will be to work out wave lengths which will permit the users of the different geo graphical areas, at different times of the day, by tuning their Instruments to receive a great variety of enter tainment, information and news, but "even if we use all the ingenuity possible I do not believe there are enough permutations to allow un limited numbers of sending stations. Legislation Is Discussed. Anyone who wishes to, he added should be allowed to install a receiv ing station, but the problem now is to determine who will do the broad casting "and what will be his pur pose." Representative White of Maine, a member of the conference committee appointed by Mr. Hoover, declared there was a feeling on the part of some members of congress that there should not be any legislation arbl trarily assigning wave lengths as in ine present state of a rapidly devel oping art, rigidity of control should be avoided. Most of those represented were said to be in favor of legislation placing the control in the department oi commerce. DEATH PROBE TO RESUME Members of Schooner's Crew De clare Captain Shot Self.
