Praises High Caliber and Fine
Efficiency of Men Notv Work
ing Under Him
Nicholas C. Brooks, chief special
Treasury ngeht In chargo of liquor In
vestigations hero, attributes recent spec
tacular successes to the honesty of tho
customs men who nro Working under
him.
"Wo'ro not out for dory, but ro
snlta," snld tho chief, "and wo'ro Just
nt tho polht of getting them in n big
Way. Wo nro planning somo arrests
which Will but wait until wo mako the"
nrrcsts. Wo'll talk after wo have
acted.
"What hno been Accomplished so far
should bo credited to tho high caliber
and fina efficiency of tho men in tho
customs servlco. They uro not onlv ef
ficient nnd diligent but, nbovo all, thor
oughly honest. Olvo them a task, and
they mako It their pleasure as well as
thelt duty to go through with it.
"If it wero not for tho splendid
qualities of the men who have Worked
with mo hero we could not hnva ac
complished any of the things wo did.
I must say in honesty that I hnvo never
worked with men anywhere who are
moro thoroughly on their job or more
thoroughly honest ana rcilnbio than tho
customs men of Philadelphia."
Mr. Brooks, whd has proved to bo n
terror to rum runners in recent weeks
nnd has done more to secure the observ
ance of tho liquor law in that short time
than had been done in n year before, has
chargo of an ottchslvo dltrlct. It
covers New Jersey from Trenton to
Barnegat Light on the outh, all of
Pennsylvania. Delaware, Morylond nnd
West Virginia. It Is a vnst territory
with almost limitless possibilities for
smuggling In the extensive coast line
nnd hundreds of coves and bays where
liquor can bo hidden readily.
Mr. Brooks, though only forty-four
years old, has had nn unusually varied
career. He is n lean, tall, kecn-eyed
man, who talks little, especially where
bis own personality or hlo duties as
chief agent In tho Treasury servlco are
concerned. ....
He is a Phlladelpblan by birth and
early up-brlnglng, though his later
years hnvo been spent In out-of-tho-wa
corners of tho world. As he. cypresses
it, ho was "reared and educated In
Gcrmantown, but spent most of bis time
fishing and swimmlnc in 'Mssahlckon
Creek." When llttlo moro than n boy

Ilomo, Aug. 20. Homnn chariot
races staged In tho "Stadium Pnrloltt"
by tho Fox Film Company, which Is In
Homo creating n film play to bo called
"Nero," resulted In a real tumult of the
populace genuinely reminiscent of Im
perial times, when 0000 llomaim. who
had been hired to represent tho audi
ence, in tho amphitheatre, rebelled
flealnm the ntlthorlty'of tho American
management and refused to play the
part newlgned them.
American Ambassador Childs nnd
Italian Foreign Minister Delia Torrettn
had been invited to witness tho grand
reconstruction of tho ancient circus
gnmrs, but on their nrrlvol 'found
mounted police charging nn Infuriated
mob In tho nrena and "Nero" In his
purple robes Hying from tho popular
wrath In nn automobile. ,
Thr direct causo of tho sudden pop
ular tipheanl was a shortage of drink
ing water. The hired multitude, men.
women nnd children, filled tho seats
of the vast nrena patiently under the
blnzlng mm ko long as the unter they
brought with them lasted, but when
the water bottles were empty tlioy roso
In wrath and descended toward tho elt.
The cffoits Of tho company's employes
to restrain them proved Ineffectual and
amid unlversnl confusion and excite

Experts express tho opinion that the

will do much to eliminate tho possibility
of accident such as that which occurcd
