Prohibition Bnforcement Director Ralph A. Day, with his lieutenants, ‘Charles Le Caron, returned to New former Detective Al Thomas and York to-day to confer with National Commissioner Roy A. Haynes as to scandalous bootlegging conditions along the Canadian border. Thomas and Ie Caron have been for ten days studying the illictt liquor trade between Canada and the northern tier counties. Their recital describes wholé communities of North Woods and border farms verting to the spirit of the bo lawlessness of French and Ini war days, but expressing it in terms of high speed automobiles, swift motor boats, repeating rifles and au- tomatic rifles. “Near Rouses Point," said Thomas, “a farmer on the State road told me of seeing from fifty to sixty auto- mobile trucks passing his place every night. There are twenty-two roads in that vicinity crossing the border, “There is no stopping these cars by roadside signals or patrols. The only way is to barricade the road with motor trucks too heavy to be rammed aut of the way. The bootleggers use cars which are not considered satis- factory unless they can make seventy- five miles an hour. They carry guns openly, From a hotel window I saw cars pass with guards carrying two guns each in plain sight. “The bootleggers have had the tm- pudence to complain to the county authorities that the roads are not kept in proper condition for the safe operation of their conveyances at high speed, They got no satisfaction from the road superintendents, so they raised a fund of $500 by sub- scription and hired farmers along the roads to keep the bad spots repaired. “I recognized many former New York gangsters in little towns in the ‘woods, which are beginning to have the general atmosphere of the mining and logging camps. Shooting affrays, stabbings and highway robberies are commonly reported. Bootleggers prey on each other, stealing each other's trucks and stocks without fear that Why the Values in This Sale of Suits conincinstinetnsteenensinenenncetaen eesti eDatcasaeteaes nant Diccsine the suits are far su periorin cut, fine tailoring and finish to many suits shown elsewhere for far higher prices.
