SPEED UP TO SAVE LIQUOR
Coaling of Ship Hastened So Big
Shipment Can Get to Sea
On the speed 'with which the stcain
ship Western Comet loads its supply of
fuel at the Greenwich Point coaling
nier depends the safety of 2o,000 bar
lels of liquor consigned .to French
dealers.
The liquor is a part of tho great
shipment from the Kentucky distiller
ies to Atlantic ports, in, a last effort
to get their stocks out of the country
before the dark cloud settles at mid
night on .Friday.
By that time the Western Comet
must bo well on her way ut sea, out
side the three-mile limit, or the liquor
is still in the -jurisdiction of the United
States and liable to confiscation. Steve
dores and the crew of the ship worked
desperately the past few days getting
the cargo under the hatches. An hour
after the customs officials had sealed
the holds at Girard Point the Western
Comet was on her way to Greenwich
Point for fuel.

SIMILAR CASE IN CAMDEN
Dr. John L. Brand, victim of am
nesia, who figured as the mysterious
"Professor Xr' until his identity was
established, is at the home of his son.
Lieutenant Commnndcr Charles JJ.
Brand, at 2518 South Twenty-second
street. , , ,
Ho is gradually recovering his mem
ory, and is nblo to discuss clearly some
tfinMnnfcl n nnnnrpMnn with blS Wan-
.lAItirrc, lit.f Vin fa tint- hoiniT nrired to
answer questions. Efforts are being
centered today toward restoring Oils
health, in the belief that with renewed
strength his full memory will return.
Doctor Brand was brought hero from
Lambcrtville. N. J., yesterday.
"I believe that my father s memory
will be completely restored," said his
son, "but it will not oe a mwwt ;
twenty-four hours. It will take time.
Doctor Brand remembers his sou, and
return to old associations seems to be
doing him good. Mrs. Brand, who
weut to live with her daughter in
Leavenworth, Kan., after lier nusoanu
disappeared from Worcester, Mass.,
three, years ago, will soon arrive in
Philadelphia to be with Doctor Brand.
Camden is interested today in a case
similar to that of Doctor Brand. There
is a man in tho county almshouse Known
us "George Norman," whose memory
docs not go back further than February
21, when ho was found at the Pennsyl
vfinin fni-rv TTn Kppms to be a man of
education. All efforts to establish his
.r!rn..fv hnvo failed.
But for his blank memory, tho man
is intelligent. He is now an efficient
assistant of Superintendent Jaggard, of
the almshouse. He reads the newspapers
and takes a great interest in the case of.
Doctor Brand.
"George Norman" is about sixty-two
ycaers old.
