George M. Little, who served a year's training perfod under Capt. Burlingame, the latter will be eonfined in_his activities to his ow: precinct. That removes one obstac! to the rum runners.- The change is one anticipated in June, 1 when the then Commis sioner Frederick A. Fenning appoint- ed Capt.

Burlingame was to organize the “fiying squad” and to be relieved of fts command after from one to three months’ operation. Instead. he was retained more than a vear. | Burlingame leaves the special liquor detail with high praise for the men under his command. a claim that it has achleved the most effective dry Jaw enforcement the District ever has geen and a recommendation that it be continued indefinitely. Records at the eleventh precinct show that the “flying liquor squad” under Burlingame’s command made 1,600 arrests for violations of the dry laws and seized 800 automobiles used by rum runners, Capt. Burlingame retires with a flamboyant gesture. A “‘gesture,” however, that brought groans from bootleggers. In the last 10 days the “Aaving squad” ed o many stills, cookers, mash barrels, containers and other paraphernalia that the eleventh precinct looks like a warehouse. 20,000-Gallon Supply Cut. Officials at the station estimated that the total 10-day haul ended the operations of stills that were produc- ing approximately 20,000 gallons of Jguor a day—most of which was for Washington consumers. In the lot are a finely made 750-gal lon copper &till, another of 500-gallon capacity, one of 300 gallons, a_second 300-galion equipment and a host of smaller picces. To-add a bit to the “gegture” of farewell, Capt. Bur. lingame appeared in Police Court Fri- day as prosecution witness against three men his squad had arrested and secured the conviction of all three. Two plead guilty and the third was found guilty by jury.

He i< burly, standing nearly six feet in helght, weighing close to 200 pounds and possessing great strength. His| tactics have been in keeplng with his physique, as prisoners who tried to escape from him could testify. As they say, “Burly was rough on boc leggers.” Reports made to headquar- ters show that Capt. Burlingame and his men never hesitated when griwling bulldogs or armed bootleggers stood i way of a capture. 4 Praises Dry Squad. “Wo have had a lot of fun with it 1" Capt.

Burlingame sounded a cryptic warning to V shington consumers of bootleg liquor As a beverage the hootleg liquor available in Washington i pretty good varnish remover.” he said. Tol prove the point he pointed to a large Nhite stain on his desk. “I spilled a bit of a recently captured liquor there —and it ate the varnish off before I could wipe it up.” The eleventh precinet, sinee the ad vent of the “flying squad.” has been a very repository for bootleggers’ paraphernalia of all description— some that defles description large cells in the building are full to capacity with Jjugs, pans, cookers, erocks, coils, bottles and jars captured in bootleg places. *“Two cells of ‘dead soldiers,’ " as the captain calls them.

Of this number, he estimates, between 25 and 80 per cent return to their boot legging “busines: These persistent violators thus ave fn the “game” as a regular business and could charge off fines as part of the ““upkeep.” The “fiying squad” under present plans is 1o remain virtually intact, with the exception of Capt.
