More than 100 drunken persons have been arrested on the streets within the last few days, 15 citizens have been corraled in a rum ring roundup and scores of arrests have been made in fashionable hotel roof garden dancing p The rum wave has spiead so rapidly that policemen and detectives have been made United States deputies so that they can begin, accord. ing to announcement today, “a big drive to dry up Washington.” ‘Tuxedoed agents with stiff starched shirts and diamond studs haunt the exclusive dancing restaurants nightly and arrest young. boys and girls with hip flasks filled with “gin.” Scores Have been taken, but most of them wore released bec: faulty arrest or they forfeited collateral without going to trial. Six private apartment homes have been raided recently and men and women charged with poss yn and sale of liquor. Only a few bootleggers have been taken, the drive belng concentrated chiefly against whisky drinkers. The Aswociation Against the Prohibition Amendment fssued a seath« ing condemnation of the restaurant raids, charging that the agents had begun their tactics during the summer, when congress is adjourned, “possibly because they fear such raids in winter might result In the arrest of dry congressmen or senators who don’t vote as they drink,’ } use of * 1924, PATROL VESSELS TAKING POSTS FOR FLYERS — World Flyers Will Hop Off | From Iceland This Week | GREENLAND NEXT STOP} Smith and Nelson Plan to} Reach Labrador Soon | EYKJAVIK, Iceland, Aug. 13.—); Favorable weather conditions will find the United States army ‘ at Labrador, within 10 days— If the weather contin es good we hope to reach Labrador four days| after leaving Reykjavik,” Lieut.
