London, Sept. 10 (P—Fifteen million dollars is the estimated loss sustained during the past year by English financiers who sent men down to the seas In ships filled with liquor Intended to assuage the thirst of Americans willing and ready to purchase the contraband, The swift blockaders of the coust guard off the shores of the United States not only have obliterated fa- mous rum row, but also have cut 80 decply Into the bankrolls of the financiers that they no longer are willing to furnish the money to in- trepld skippers who would chance the running of the blockade to put thelr wet cargoes ashore. Complete Distinterest Also the masters and crews of Tum runners, who in days gone by #at a-deck, while thelr vessels tossed about at anchor on the lumpy seas of rum row, nonchalantly selling thefr wares, now are sceking other means of employment than that of handling rum. They aver that their days of opulence have passed and that they are looking for more law- abiding methods to eke out a living. Since January exports of liquors destined ultimately for the United States have dropped almost 50 per cent and avallable figures indicate Britain this year will fall far helow the annual 2,000,000 gallons sent out of the country during the past few years. Statistics Show Drop As an instance, for the first six months of the present year exports for Canada aggregated only 379,841 gallons as compared with 1,101,019 gallons in 1924, Consignments to Bermuda and the West Indies, haunts of the rum-runners to the United States, have shown a pro- portionate decrease. In these two centers at present thers are sald to be large stocks on hand, but no one desirous of trying to run the gaunt- let of the rum chasers and put the liquor ashore in American territory. The loss of a large part of the rum fleet and hundreds of thousan s of cases of whiskey apparently has dismayed thoso persons in England who had hoped to get rich quickly in supplylng thirsty Americans with thefr needs, and there now Is no money available for smuggling proj- ects, Many ships once engaged in the illicit traffic now are to be seen Iying idle in ports. Income Too Low Among these is the steamer Gen- eral Serrett, the capta of which says he lias on board 25,000 cases of whiskey destined for the United The vessel has heen tied up 1 for a week hecause the is unable to raise the money to pay the wages of the crew and outfit the hip for ‘he hazardous fourney into forbidden waters. The General Serreft is owned by a Lon- don woman. The eaptain says that if eventually ho gets away from Deal he will transfer his cargo to that llquer exports from Great some other ship far off the Amer. fcan coust and at a point where he will be in no danger of being cap- tured, To Englishmen the news of tho stifing of the liquor traffie to America {8 welcome, for the huge drain of the last few years had al- most exhausted all stocks of old Vi, 80 that most ot that aval- able for purchase now {s barely mature, Joint Outing Sept. 19 of Stanley Plants’ Workers The Stanley Works and the Stan. ley Rulo and Level plant Foremen's clubs will hold thelr fall outing Sat- urday afternoon, September 19, at Lake Compounce, A sheep barbecue will be served at 1 o'clock, daylight saving time, followed by athletic events for which prizes will be awarded, City Items H.

Considering the west- ern rallway alone, it appears that these lines in 1924 reduced their fuel bill in the freight service by almost $18,000,000 as compared with 1020, In the passenger scrvice there was a corresponding saving of almost $4,- 000,000 in the 1924 fuel sivings.
