Federal Men Threatened By
Angry Mob Who Attempt

UETBOIT, July 14. Federal

representatives of the ti-ctutury
department, lust niglii'j and curly
todiiy seized 300 moto,. bonis
off , Ecor-jso, Wyandotte mid
, Trenton iu tho down river din

Operations were conducted In
the luco of an( nngi-y mob! who,
according to officers, attempted
' it', ono timd to dynamlto u small

DETROIT, July 14. Cortaln pow
orful Interests control the available
supply ol beer and liquor on the
. Canadian side and the big money is
made there, according to the rum
runners who opera'.e the tiny boats
which chug aoross. the river here
with their cargoes; ol illicit bev
orages.
According to these operators, this
"syMdlcate" or. "system" as It Is
termed, sell at prices which permit
the runners and American bootleg
gers a comparatively small margin
of profit, . . . .
Thus, say these runnorB, the huge
profits In the' rum running busl
ness across the Detroit river are a
thing ol the past. Large profits
they maintain, still are being tak
en in the liquor smuggling traffic,
but the business has progressed and
been systematized until only those
who.ijontrifl.thfr trafttelrnd crack the
whip-over the rum running fleets
. reap the golden harvests.
The free' and easy ways of the
days shortly after . prohibition bo
camo effective, say the runners, are
gone, Bystem has come in, until
how it is Impossible for a free lance
runner to obtain supplies on the
Canadian aide unless he buys them
what amounts, virtually, to a clos
ed syndicate, according to theso op'
erntlves.
The runners cite Instances. They
say that Canadian beer, whon
bought from tho Canadian operators,
often costs close to $5 a case, al
though Its actual brewery price Is
much lower. . Tho runnor gets r,0c
n case for transoortlng It across tho
river and It Is laid down In river
Rouge, Wyandotte br Ecorse or
some other place for I5.no. . If It
Is dclivored to the re'aller he can
truck It to his place ot business and
xcll It for SO cents a bottle and make
n comfortable profit. But, the run
ners say, It often goos through tho
hands of an American mlddlomnn
and reaches the retailer nt n cost
of about 83 cents a bottle. He has
to keep hp his overhend expense and
run his risk and still sell it at fiO
cents a bottlo,' '
Tho same stluatlon obtains In
whiskey smuggling, tlfoso runners
Bay. Tlioy declare It Is virtually
Impossible to got whiskey tostmig
gle on thoir own account. When
they run It across for tho controll
ing Interests they receive $2.75 a
ease.'
Dosplte these protests, however, It
appears probable that some of them,
liv hnrd work, make n comfortable
living. On youth claimed hR aver
ages 40 cases of beer to a trip and
makos from three to four trip a
day with a motor boat. At this rate
ho would make $20 n trip and from
$60 to $80 a day. Other craft are
said to carry larger cargoes.

AUTO ACCIDENTS UP
42 PER CENT, 3 YEARS
Lux Supervision of Motor Vehicle
Drivers Blamed; Dentils Last
Yeur Total 14,000
NEW YORK, July 14. Lax super
vlBlon of motor vehicle drivers and
the resultant increase of 42' per cent
In the automobile death rate during
the past three years. Is due to tho
fact that the majority ot state leg
islators are from rural districts
where strict examination and regis
tration of drivers Is not a vltai mat-,
tor, according to a report submitted
by William U. Cox, traffic accident
rosearch engineer, to the national
bureau of casualty and surety un
derwriters. There were 14,000
death from motor accident last year,
he said.
After a thorough. Investigation of
tho problem, and a careful examin
ation of the records of some 800,000
accident, Cox has prepared a table
showing that registration ouVl ex
amination of all drivers is the only
method of stopping the rising num
ber of traffic casualties.
In Maryland, Massachusetts and
Connecticut, where strict supervis
ion of drivers is maintained, casual
tics have fallen off 2 per cent, while
Increasing 42 per cent over the coun
try. According to Cox's figures,
there would have been 4,300 fewer
death from automobiles in 1922 had
the percentage of these threo stales
been universal. ;
"Only seven states require the ex
amination of all motor vehicle oper
ators," said the report, "while 35
states require only chauffeurs to be
licensed, and many of these are nev
er examined. An automobile driv
or's license must be something to
be (inquired through merit, and not
through the payment of half a dol
lar." (HCIWAXS TURN TO GARDKNINO
