J., the raiders captured a hidden radio sta- tion from which orders in code were sent to the fleet of liquor ships and speed boats operated by the syndicate. A force of 130 special treasury agents, deputy U. S. marshals and New Jersey state police, going into action simultaneously made 32 raids, arrested 32 men and seized quantities of imported liquor. The raids were based on secret indictments returned by a federal grand jury at Trenton. N. J.

The other raids were on landing stations, storage distribution points. William J. Cal- houn, prohibition administrator for New Jersey, who was in charge of the raids in his state, said the syndi cate was a “million dollar outfit’ which operated a fleet of six ships bétween St. Pierre and Bermuda and an auxiliary fleet of 10 speed boats. ‘The ships passing close inshore along the New Jersey coast were met by the speedboats, which took off cargoes of liquor and ran them ashore. Unofficial estimates placed the amount of liquor brought in at 10,000 cases a week. classiest co-ed in any class. This is her winning smile.
