Andrews Plans Concentrated Drive By the Associated Press The Government's latest strateglc maneuver in the effort to enforce pro- hibition is aimed at the consumer's pocketbook. Convinced that the demand for liquor is not declining and is unlikely to show any sign of tapering off un-| der current conditions, tant Sec retary Andrews, enforcer-in-chief, is now hoping to reduce the supply so drastically that bootleg prices will become prohibitive. Feeling that his forces have at least checked the tide of llquor which has been flowing out of the sources of smuggling and alcohol diversion into bootleg channels and so on down Against [llicit Stills, Main Dry Foe | numerous throats, he is turning to the problem presented by the “end- less growth” of large-scale$illicit dis- tilling. He plans to conduct his campaign against this branch of the outlawed industry without asking for an in- crease in the prohibition unit's appro- priation, which was fixed at $13,000,- 000 for the present fiscal year. With that amount, and his reorganized staff increased by 600 men, he expects to make considerable headway against the distillers. He is encouraged in this respect by the feeling that the enforcement personnel is improving under a more businesslike adminis- tration effected through recent changes. NORFOLK STORM KILLS 2; HURTS 3 Tornado or -Water-Spout Seen as Wind Wreaks Heavy Property Loss. By the Associated Press. NORFOLK, Va., November 27. Two persons were killed, three were injured and considerable property damage was done by a freak storm that swept over this section between 5:30 and 6:30 o'clock last night. High winds, that in one small area, where the casualties and chief prop- erty damage occurred, took the form of ‘a tornado or water-spout, and a severe electrical disturbance accom- panied the storm. Several homes were damaged by lightning or wind and streets and roads were flooded. The two men killed were caught in the wreckage of two 700-foot-long warehouses of the Southgate Forward- ing & Storage Co. on the Southern branch of the Elizabeth River near Portsmouth. They were, A. J. Evans and E. H. Butler, both watchmen. Butler died after heing taken to a hospital and Evans’, body still was under the debris of the razed buildings late last night. The three other vic- tims were said_ not to have been dangerously injured. The tornado that damaged the Southgate plant also wrecked 13 box cars on the tracks of the Norfolk- Portsmouth Belt Line Railroad inside the plant. It was dark at the time, and the few persons who heard its roar or saw it were divided as to whether it was a tornado or water- spout. It did no damage to sur- rounding property and appeared to have vented its force on the Southgate property, devastating an area of about nine acres. The wrecked buildings . and cars were fllled with canned goods - 33, of 2031 Portner | Five Escape After Robbing Insti-|and other foodstuffs. Because of the dangdr from live electric wires, a de- tachment of Marines from the navy yard adjoining was asked for and dis- patched to the scene for guard duty and aid in finding the injured and dead. e The British Empire covers an area ©f Beany sat So CHINESE HURT BY AUTO; FIVE OTHERS INJURED Two of Traffic Victims Hit by Cars Atter Collisions, Police Are Told.
