?; n Staff CorrMfionrfrtif
Lowes, Del.. July 25. Two big nnd
powerful navy seaplanes came ranging
over the sands of Rcthnny Reach, Del.,
fifteen rilies down the coast from Lewes,
flying not more ,rhnn sixty rect above
tho sand dunes. '
The men. in the cockpits of 'the big
"boats" waxed n crootmj; as they sped
by. For n few minutes the roar of the
Liberty enzincs shattered the air. nnfl
then slowly merged with the roar of the
ocean as the big craft became specks on
the horizon.
Tho planes were flying in the direc
tion of the Delaware Bay. They were
on the "rum patrol." It is one of the
now Jobs of the navy fliers, made more
important now with much talk of
whisky running along the Delaware
Coast.
Opinions differ in Lewes and through
out this section as to whether the con
traband whisky cargoes, brought on
swift' yachts and small cruising schoon
ers from the Bnlinmns, arc being landed
on the Delaware Coast, ns they are on
that of neighboring New Jersey.

wirougu wio uums 01 linswnil Dtt or

rum nnd whisky bottles were counted.
And strewn along the bench also were
green bananas, such ns arc washed
or tossed overboard from boats sailing
from tho tropical islnmln of the Scuth.
It would be hard to find a better place
for the running in of contraband car
goes than this wild stretch In the neigh
borhood of Bethany Beach, whero stories
of rum smuggling have been rife.
The town of Bethany Beach Itself is
a dozen miles from Frankford. Del. It
consists of a small hotol and a small
group of nbout n score of cottages. It
Is as wild and solitary n spot ns could
bo found. The sand dunes, a dozen
feet high nnd covered with clumps of
long grass, lie in n loiig irregular line,
excellent hiding places for cached con'
traband.
Coast guards at Bothany Beach nnd
fm station near the inlet of Rcho
both Bay patrol the long stretch of
lonesome sand twice a day. At other
times It is almost deserted.
Easy for Light Draught Ships
It has been reported that. whisky Is
being brought in through the Indian
Hirer inlet, which would be on IdoM
placo for rum-runnors using bnnk
boats. The nearer of the tuo coast
guard stations Is a quarter-mile awav.
Tho Inlet is nbout ir0 feet wide nnd
only from four nnd n half to five feet

dt appears the turnkey merely gave
Smith some fruit, bneon and eggs,

on that until dinner time. Smith ex

"How nbotit steak and onions?"

"That's enough," said Detective Mc

Morris Schiff. 4051 Mllnor street, the
saloonkeeper whose warehouse was rob
bed of 50.000 worth of liquor enrly
yesterday morning, went to CJty Hall
this morning to visit Superintendent
Of Police Mills and charge collusion be

Tho warehouse is at the end of nn
arcaway, nbout 250 feet long, nnd Schiff
says thnt all the stuff would have to
bo carried down this nllcy nnd that a
largo number of men must have been
kengaged in the raid.
Tho robbery occurred some time just

Is a converted two-story dwelling, nnd
had a wooden door with two padlocks.
These locks were broken open and four

None of the neighbors saw rfnvthing
