k-] NS SUPPAST [ SRS T BORDER PATROLS Cunning of Iroquois Boot- legger Is Problem for U. S. Liquor Agents. BY LEMUEL F. PARTON. Bpecial Dispatch to The Star. ROUSES POINT, N. Y, June 20.— The Iroquois Indian is the slipperiest of bootleggers. There are 2,000 of them up here on the border, and they can crawl, swim or canoe through a patrol- infested wilderness which would be in- pervious to anything else but an eel-— and they do. “We catch hundreds of them,” raid J. P. Tulloch, collector for the St. rence district No. 7, here tod they keep on squirming through. In “The Deer Slayer” James Fenni- more Cooper intimated that the Red- skins knew their way about in these woods, and the surviving few hunared have lived to show what they can do. This pad of moccasined foot across the border makes the international repre- sentation in rum running pretty nearly complete. A Neat Overlapping. The trade has attained its cosmopoli- tan character through a neat overlap- ping of booze and immigrant smugglig. As explained by Mr. Tulloch and others, it works this way: An immigrant of al- most any nationality, and perhaps knowing no English, gets across the border and gets lost in the woods. Be- ing abandoned by the smuggler as soon as he gets on this side, he falls in with some scout for the rum runners, who knows everything which goes on in the woods, almost before it happens. )I¢ 18 picked up, taken back to the other side and serves an apprenticcship in rum running. After he learns to drive a car, he begins taking loads across, for ‘'which he gets $10 a load. - “We find an increasing number among our pickups, and that's how it happens,” sald Mr. Tulloch. ‘; e restriction of immigration gave the border authorities a new problem, with a steady increasing drive at the boundary. Increases in tariffs, espe- clally the recent ones, have burdened the customs men with more illicit carry- ing to watch. The booze battle, piled on this, has made the customs job =omething like trying to be a trair dis- patcher, trap drummer and rope skip- per all at once. PR 510-Mile Frontler.
