Mr. Lloyd Ocorge summed up tills

the similes he he frequently uses.
"We nre building n bridge across

"When I'vescrved out the sentence
of the court I'm going" te conduct my
business .along perfectly legitimate lines.
Of Course, this smuggling game has Its
attractions like everything else that's
full of adventure. I suppose I was
dragged Inte It by reason of having ex
ported a large amount of baVreled liquor
te Nassau before the advent of prohi
bition, Nassau Wet and Wonderful
"There were quite a few wholesalers
who did this, and an Impert company
was organized and Incorporated and
slinres were dispersed. I had an in
terest which I held until I get in this
trouble, nnd then I disposed of It.
"Nassau is n wonderful place. It
Is composed of three things rich white
residents, Negroes nnd whisky, with the
whlskv very much in the majority.
"Warehouses that cost hundreds of
thousands of dollars hnvc been con
structed down there te house the hun
dreds of theusnnds of enses of Scotch
liquors nnd fine wines brought there via
Kingsten, J amnion, and they nre nil
under the control of one man, a fellow
by the name of Murphy, He owns nnd
controls the destiny of the liquor situa
tion en this Island. He took the city
ever when It wns reeking in debt nnd
showed it hew te get en its feet. This
wns accomplished by the imposition of
nn incoming nnd outgoing dut; en
liquor.
"New they have the finest automobile
reeds In the world and everything up te
the minute in n building way, all
brought about by the flooding of Amer
ica with whisky from Nassau. When
we first organized down there we had
our stufT stored out In the open, with
guards around It, nnd a warehouse that
cost siwmjuu was erectca,
"My trip there wns one of the best
I've ever had. Yeu knew I picked up
400 cases of Scotch down there at $14
a' case nt one time, nnd It was the best
Scotch In the mnrkct. tee. It seems a
fellow hnd contracted for It and failed
te mnke geed with that ' cash -and -cnrr'

being there with the ready cash was
able te close the deal and ship it home.
It get home nil right, nnd tedny It's rc rc
pelng in the vaults of the custom
house, because they grabbed it together
with ether stuff that 1 was bringing in."
The Whisky Market
"Scotch whisky brings from .$16 te

coast will take a chance. Any of the
pound beats will run the risk and bring
It in, and they can carry as much as
tun cases a time and they are always
paid nt least $10 u case te bring it in.
Yeu knew It takes a fisherman a long
time te make $100 fishing.
"There is no doubt nt nil nbeut beats

liquor which they sell ever the side at

millions by simply peddling the stuff
from Savannah clear up the coast. They
say I was a big-time smuggler, but I
was nothing but a piker compared with
these fellows.
Smuggling Ne Sinecure
"The drinking public of the United

conditions surrounding this smuggling
game, but If, they think it's a sinecure
they should give it a try. 1 knew.
Helieve me, I've been through it, nnd I
don't want any part in it again. Uncle

FORMER FIRE CHIEF DIEJS

Fermer Fire Chief James C. Baxter.
one of the last of the city's firefighters
who date their experience bnck te the
"volunteer" days, died nt 1:40 this
morning the fifty-first anniversary of
his entry into the Philadelphia Fire De
partmentat his home, 2400 Lehigh
avenue. He was 111 several months.
Chief Baxter was born in the North
ern Liberties in 1645. In 1871, when
the paid fire department was inaugu
rated, he wns a member of the engine
company which succeeded the Northern
Liberties Hese Company. Later he be
came cblef of that company.
After several years' service as assist
ant engineer Mr. Baxter was made chief
of the department In 1802. He held
that position until March, 1011, when
he- wns nppwlntcd an inspector.
The first big tire that called for his
abilities was the burning of the Pum.ie
Lkdcikr Building in December,, 1802.
Mr. Baxter's masterly control of that
fire, which nt one time threatened te
spread te adjoining properties, was re
warded by Geerge W. Childs,
owner of the Public Ledekr.

This fact Is one of the chief Issues of

"Well this Is what I propose te de.
As Governer I would first ascertain the
facts, using the most expert tulent avail

the facts and all the facts of every
nature, I would lay them before the
people of the State and the Legisla

of going about a solution of the finan

ANTIGONf SH GHOST
Says It Was Spirit of Mischiev
ous Bey Operating Through
Mary Ellen
WOULDN'T DO REAL HARM
New Yerk, April 15. Mary Ellen
was net the ghost of Antlgenlsh, In the
opinion of Sir Arthur Oenan Deyle, ex
pressed here yesterday. The ghost prob
ably was that of some naughty boy,
whom net even death could cure of his
mlschleveusness, and who, no longer
having any physical hands or feet of his
own te carry out his enterprises, made
use of Mary Ellen's.
"I was greatly Interested in the re
ports of the Antlgenlsh disturbance,"
said Sir Arthur, "hernnse It la almost
a duplicate of the 'great Amherst mys
tery' of some years age. That, tee,
was a Neva Scotia case,, with myste
rious fires and ether disturbances.
Again all the people there are con
vinced it was spirits and again the psy
chical research people have gene up and
made a great explanation with a great
air of putting everybody In his place.
"I have no doubt the spiritualistic
explanation Is the correct one. Mary
Ellen was the medium. She threw out
some' power which was used by some
thing malevolent outside herself. Yes,
there arc malevolent spirits en the ether
side. 'Mischievous' would be a, bet
ter word. This probably was some mis
chievous youngster. But these spirits
are net allowed te de real harm. One
of the laws en the ether side Is that no
individual shall be Injured by spirit.
The spirits are quite amenable te rea
son. I ended some disturbances in the
house of a lady In New Hampshire. I
talked with the spirit and found it was
trouble about some papers. I attended
te the matter and told It se. and said
it Mieuld step annoying that lady, as
that was selfish. I asked If it would
step. It rapped out. 'D. V.', 'Ged Will
ing, nnd tlie disturbances ceased."
That Hamlin Garland, his friend,
and fellow student of psychical prob
lems, who Introduced him at Carnegie
Hall, declared today In an interview
that he was net convinced Cenan Deyle
hed spoken with the dead seemed net te
trouble him at all.
