RUM RUNNERS USE PLANES. Sheppar@-Towner mater- n passed a resolution Sandy Hook Fleet Turns to Air and | Submerged Tows to Beat Law. By the Associazed Press. NEW YORK, May 5.—Cut off from rface communication with the At- tio rum fleet by a concerted drive £ prohibition enforcement arms, the liquor-running fraternity has turn- ed to alr and submarine channals in effort to get the contraband ore, Lieut. Commander Camden of caast guard cutter Seneca dis- when he ocame In oft i an 1 th closed yesterday the rum p; ol.. Instead of fleeing this port, as had been reported, the rum fleet has merely moved a little further south of Sandy Hook and taken up more open formation, and efforts to get their cargoos athore were redoubled. Tho Seneca had just located the Pritish yacht Istar off Jones inlet, Commander Camden 8aid, when a big gray seaplane swooped down beside the rum runner and two of the fllers clambored aboard. The Sencca put on full spaed toward the seaplane, but before she arrived a smaller plane, which had been circling high overhoad, swooped down, signalling the other. The gray plane’s occu- pants tumbled back abroad and took the air bofore the Seneca arrived. A short time later the Seneca slghted two boats, ostensibly lobster fishermen, alongside another unit of the rum fieet. She sped toward them and the lobater boats fled, leaving behind submerged boxes, which were belleved to be cases of liquor which were to be towed ashore under wnter. The Seneca dropped a shot across the lobster men's bows and drew alongside as the craft came to a sud- den halt. The five occupants were Irought to the customs house here and arraigned on charges of belng alongside ard boarding a foreign vessel, the Independence. This, it was declared, was the equlvalent of entering into forelgn trade without clearance papers.

Keefe, captain of the eighth precinct. after a contlnuous service of thirty-seven and one-half years record. Born In South Washington, young Keefe spent his vounger days in that jsection. He joined the Navy and spent two years aboard Uncle Bam's wooden craft just prior to 1885, when | he accepted a position in the police department. Twenty-seven years of Capt. Keefe's police service have been in the third precinct, where, he states. It was neceagary for an officer actually to fight for his life while making ar- rests in certain sections of the pre- cinet many years ago. In January, 1022, James F. Oyster, in charge of the police dopartment. and Maj. Daniel Sullivan, superintendent of police, re- warded Keefe by elevating him to a captaincy. Capt.

During the trial yesterday in the io- ltce Court of Frank Shore, charged with violating the national prohibition law, it developed that there was an &p- parent shortage of 195 quarts of real | pre-Volstead whisky taken from {Shore's place when ralded and the amount of goods brought to court as | evidence. It came out In the trial that the raiding party took 575 quarts of whis- kies, wines, cordlals and other in- toxioating beverages. When the con- i fiscated stuft was brought to court to- day as evidence, on order of Judge Hardison, the revenue people deliv- ered, it is said, only 280 quarts. The government attorney admitted that the record showed 575 quar(s taken from Shore. After the intoxicanls had been pe= turred lo the prohibition warchouse . and the apparent-shortage story be- | éame public the report came back to | the court that there were 499 quarts in stock, which, with the 6 quarts | being used as evidence, would make a total of 505, which would still leave an apparent shortage of 69 quarts. Detective Worrell, who was one of the raiding party, holds the revenue | department receipt for 575 quarts as the property of Shore. | " 'Snore was found not guilty on _the {charge of sale. The jury disagreed on the possession charge. | THREE KILLED, EIGHT HURT IN GAS BLAST By the Assoclated Pres: LANSFORD, Pa., May 4.—Three men | were killed anl elght others badly | injured In a gas explosion at No. 10 colllery of the Lehigh Coal and Navi- gation Company today.
