The justice department, charged | with prohibition enforcement, has placed its faith in a short, sandy- haired Virginian, H. J. Simmons, chief of special agents for the New York district. In a soft, drawling voice he expresses his belief that romance still lingers in the detective business and that Sherlock Holmes and Philo Vance used methods than can be applied to every-day life. “Naturally, I cant’ tell you all our secrets,” he told the United Press, “but I can explain some of the prob- ems we come up against. It is our belief that a gigantic combination of rum runners is working between St. Pierre-Miquelon and the Bahamas. It is a ferry system. The boats come out of the north, loaded with wines and champagne. Exactly on sched- ule, they arrive outside New York and discharge their cargo. Then they proceed to the Bahamas for a sup- ply of hard liquor, dropping it off here on the return trip. “As near as we can figure, the flow of liquor into New York is worth $1,000,000 a month. I can give you some idea of how carefully the rum syndicate is organized when I tell you that there is a board of directors at the head of it. We believe the board consists of six or eight men, all of whom spend most of their time outside of the United States. Funds Unlimited “Now, in my work we are up against the problem of fighting a gang that has almost unlimited cap- ital.” Simmons waved toward a radio set seized in one of his raids. “That's worth $15,000. I can’t spend that much money on a radio. So I'm betting the brains of my men against money—the human element against mechanical perfection. I have one man who can speak five languages. Another one is an ex- pert at translating Greek and still another can speak Chinese. But the rum runners also are getting plenty of talent.” He mentioned Cecil Molyneaurx, described by federal agents as * radio genius,” who was arrested re- cently in Brooklyn and charged with being the land operative of a group of rum runners. Molyneaux, who was involved in the I'm Alone case because of his radio activities, is out on bail, Simmons inhaled deeply from his DIFFERENCE! ONT SAUSAGE For Breakfast . . .. Lunch Or Dinner....

Like Poe. I believe there is no code that cannot be broken down. Sometimes it takes a long time to do it, and often one word comes flash- ing through that provides us with the key to a cipher with which we have been struggling until everybody in the office has a headache. “We know the syndicate maintains land radio stations to direct their ships. Here is a typical example of how we can spot a ship. We in- tercepted a message recently, and fortunately were able to decode it immediately. It was from a rum ship and said there was no chance of unloading immediately because a Coast Guard cutter was standing not far off. We checked the Coast Guard and learned the location of all the vessels at sea. From that it was easy to spot the ship.” Simmons believes the flow of li- quor is decreasing, but thinks (hc' bootleggers have never been so effi- ciently. organized as’they now are.
