Jamaica Bottles Found Near

CAST-OFF SAILOR INFORMS
?; 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.
Empty Bottles Kound
If It means anvthlnz. on n six-mil?
I walk ovcrthw wtad-swept sand nnd
wirougu wio uums 01 linswnil Dtt or
seaboard, twenty-three enfpty .Taiuah-n
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
deep, too shallow for n sub-chaser 01
similar craft to get through, but deep
enough for the shallow-draft bank
skiffs, with their "one-lung" kicker
to pass through easily ecn though
deep-laden uith case goods. The
waters of the bay Itself are about ten
feet deep in places, and there are man.
little bayous and shnllow off-shooting
streams where skiffs could be drawn up
to hide during the day.

This roquest was received nt the

Three youthful ward inalds nt the

Chief of Police Scanlon. a former de

The young women were badly scared

HE WANTED A SQUARE MEAL
But the Finicky Prisoner Got a
Square' Cell Instead
The old ndngo that "beggars, must

forcibly today to Stephen Smith, sixty
five j ears old, Tenth and Race streets.
He,, fix pressed his idtsapproval of a
breakfast glvcnfchltn ,fn the cellroom at
City Hull and vvlli; now liny opportu
nity to test the menu at the House of
Correction.
dt appears the turnkey merely gave
Smith some fruit, bneon and eggs,
griddle cakes, fried potatoes mid th'rce
cups of coffee, expecting him to thrive
on that until dinner time. Smith ex
pressed his disgust nfter the meal.
"How nbotit steak and onions?"
he asked, "not to mention a little
snack of fish or something regulnr. As
for bacon nnd eggs, flint's the label
breakfast of the universe and "
"That's enough," said Detective Mc
Fall, who heard the complaint, nnd he
brought Smith before Magistrate Mc
cleary. "Why. the breakfast you got," said
the Magistrate, "was fit even for a
plumber." Then he sentenced him.
Incidentally Smith got a free lodging
at his own request. It was his thhd
free bed tills week. Ho doesn't like

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

the liquor. Schiff nsse'rts it could have
.been impossible for tho men to tnkc
such a big quantity of liquor without
police connivance.
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
before dawn Sunday. Schiff was in At
lantic City nt the time. The warehouse
Is a converted two-story dwelling, nnd
had a wooden door with two padlocks.
These locks were broken open and four

One of the watchmen wns occupied In

he said, and the other was the em

None of the neighbors saw rfnvthing
