M1 17 JERSEY DRY FORCE SUPERSEDED IN RUM SEARCH AT RESORTS Haynes Sends Special Suad to Atlantic City, Where Good Booze Flows Freely. Atlantic City, 29-Federal prohibition agents, working independently of State forces, have here for some time, it was learned today, attempting to discover large supplies of Scotch and rye whisky of pre-prohibition qualits, The liquor is alleged to have been brought ashore by boats which have eluded the navy coast Fury guard blockade which has been maintained since a big rum fleet appeared off the coast.

Evidence gathered by the Federal agents, it was stated, will go directly before Federal grand juries and indietments be sought. Persons involved will first hear they are will under investigation when they are arrested. It is also planned to libel the rum-running craft as fast as their identities can be discovered. The presence here of large quantities of Scotch at from $65 to $75 a case and rye at $60 to $80 was said by local residents to attest to recent successful activities of the boats which ply between shore and the rum fleet from the Bahamas lying off the coast. It was said there was an unlimited supply of whisky but only of bottled stock.

Much of the rye, it was reported, is being brought from Philadelphia in fast motortrucks. These trucks were said to make the journey in an hour, preceded by racing cars which distract the attention of the State police.

Blasting operations over the Montague st. tunnel of the B. R. T. have been practically completed, Col.

Ed. ward Burr of the United States EnGovernment supervisor of the operation, stated today. If dredging reveals any jagged rocks sticking up above the 40-foot channei bottom of Diamond Reef, they will be chipped off with charges of dynamite not greater than a few pounds. "Sweeping the channel will reveal whether the work is complete," said Col. Burr.

"We believe it is. If it is not, we will increase the precautions followed throughout the work to protect the tunnel. The last blast touched off was 20 pounds. We cut the charge down steadily from something over 100 pounds to 20 pounds as the drillboat approached that part of the rock directly over the tunnel." Robert Ridgway, chief engineer of the Transit Commission, furnished additional details of the precautions taken to make an engineering featblasting the channel through a tunnelled rock reef- sate for the traveling public. have read the article in The Eagle of Jan.

26, entitled, '100-Pound Dynamite Charges Ripping up Diamond Reef over P. R. T's River and while your reporter has described the precautions that are taken to prevent any damage to the tubes and to insure the safety of passengers, I think it would be well to emphasize the fact that the work is being well looked after by those who have it in hand," Mr. Ridgway said. He stated that the maximum charge allowed over the tube itself was only ten pounds, but while Government engineers said that the last blast was 20 pounds, it was pointed out that the main features of the safety work was that the major charge, several feet away from the tunnel, was cut while operating over the tube.

"Every detail of the blasting is done under the eye of a Government inspector," Mr. Ridgway continued, "reporting immediately to the district engineer's office, and the contractor's methods are modified from time to time as the necessity arises. No blasting is done in the vicinity of the tubes during the rush hours of the week days--that is, between 6 and 10 a.m., and 4 and 8 p.m.--on Saturdays, between 6 and 10 a.m. and 11.30 and 2 p.m. No blasting is done on Sundays or holidays.

"In addition to the rigid inspection of the United States district engineer's office, inspectors of the sit Commission or of the operating company are present in the tubes every time a blast is fired and they are provided with convenient telephone connections to the train dispatcher at the company's (B. R. office. With the care that is taken in blasting, the chance of injuring the tube is exceedinly remote. It is thought best, however, as an additional precaution, to keep trains out of the river section of the tubes while blasting is in progress, and after a shot is fired train operation is not resumed there until the inspector in the tube reports everything to be all right.

"The United States district engineer and the engineers of the Transit Commission and of the operating company all realize the importance of guarding against any carelessness, and they are all thoroughly cooperating with the contractor to prevent any damage being done to the tubes. It is well to remember that where danger is apprehended, precautions are taken Accidents seldom happen where there is realization of the danger. "The blasting over the tubes is now completed, except for whatever light trimming that may developed by the sweeping following the dredging operations." MRS.

IRISH NATIONAL ARMY CAPTAIN IS SLAIN BY REBELS Ambushed on Limerick-Kerry Border--Three of Capt. Coyne's Men Wounded.

Dublin, Jan. 29 (By the Associated Press)-Captain Coyne of the National army was shot dead and three soldiers were wounded when a party of troops was ambushed by irregulars between Abbeyfeale and Brosna, on the Limerick border, Saturday became known today.

At about the same time a party of eight soldiers was ambushed at Castlemaine, County Kerry, but reinforcements arrived and the irregulars were scattered with the loss of one killed and several wounded. FRANCE SEES ONLY TROUBLE GROWING OUT OF LAUSANNE: (By Cable to The Brooklyn Eagle and Phila.

Ledger; Copyright, 1923.) Paris, Jan. 29-French Governmental opinion today seems to take it for granted that there is little hope left for anything except trouble now resulting from the Lausanne Conference. "It is by a rupture that the conference will likely terminate," is the semi-official wording. In contemplation of the new situation thus created the same voice continues: is too late for crities to ameljorate matters. We recall that we have signalled danger for a long time, but such a consolation avails little.

It the conference adjourns without a peace treaty, it, is inadmissible that French interest shall be sacrificed for the ambitions and competitions to which France is a stranger. The matters we have tried to conclude with the new Turkey now have nothing to do with the conditions at the end of the war, and thus we will insist on retaking our liberty of ac. tion." URGES NEW LAWS TO CONSERVE EYESIGHT Aggressive Work Needed in States, Says Sec'y Carris. The need of more modern legislation dealing with the prevention' of blindness and the conservation of vision and for greater number of State and local organizations devoted to these causes is emphasized in the annual report of Lewis H. Carris, field secretary of the National Committee for the Prevention of Blindness, made public at the headquarters of the committee in this city.

Mr. Carris' findings are based on a survey of the blindness situation in the eastern half of the United States conducted during the past year. Special attention was given to conditions in Indiana, Illinois, Kansas, Michigan, Minnesota, Oklahoma, Alabama and New York, in which States the National Committee cooperated with local agencies in conducting educational campaigns. "The most effective work for prevention of blindness and for the conservation of vision," Mr. Carris' report says, "can be accomplished through the aggressive work of State and local organizations.

There should be volunteer organizations for the prevention of blindness in every State and Territory, and such organizations should be closely affiliated with the national committee. A survey of the field shows that California, Kentucky, Illinois and New York are at present the only States having volunteer organizations for the prevention of blindness, though a number of other States have associations for the blind doing some preventive work." Declaring "it is apparent that a very considerable part of the activities for the prevention of blind. ness must ultimately become governmental. and in consequence there be basic legislation providing for such action." the report of the national committee calls attention to the need for the following types of laws: In the field of indirect preventive legislation, school medical inspection laws, laws providing for the establishment of conservation of vision classes, factory laws providing for the safeguarding of vision, laws governing the sale of wood alcohol and laws governing the practice of midwives. In the field of direct preventive legislation, laws for the prevention of babies' eye disease.

commonly called ophthalmia neonatorium; laws providing for the control and elimination of trachoma and other contagious eye diseases, and laws providing for establishment of State commissions with authority and appropriations for work in the field of prevention, such authority usually being given to a State Commission for the Blind.

The increase in price had been foreshadowed by recent announcements of company. It is in line with the statement of the president, W. C. Durant, that the identity of the Locomobile as a car of the highest quality will be preserved by the new company.

The new car now in production was in preparation at the time of reorganization of the company as a Durant enterprise. "These new prices are necessary if we are to continue operation of the Locomobile plant in the building of cars of the finest quality," according to the company's statement. "For years the Locomobile has been underpriced. Today when we are building our car more expensively than ever, with a rising market for material and labor, we find that we cannot expect to continue in business without readjusting our prices. "In anticipation of a continuance of a demand for the finest cars, we have prepared for 1923.

We shall continue to make the Locomobile in our characteristic manner, with individual attention to each vehicle. We shall look to the purchaser -the motorist who has a true appreciation of the value of these methods--to bear the burden of this extra cost." The new prices Touring car, increased from $7,600 to four passenger. $7,600 to $9.500: limousine, $9,150 to coupe limousine $10.500 to cabriolet, $10,700 to sedan, $11,000 to chassis, $6,800 to $8,600.

Light tans are excellent in higher priced lines, but in others medium brown, red and dark shades predominate.

There is a noticeable increase of black shoes sold. The National Boot and Shoe Manufacturers' Association at its meeting last week decided upon the slogan "Walk and Be Healthy." The manufacturers expect to multiply the number or pairs sold by offerings of shoes to fit different occasions. There is no doubt that great progress may be made in that direction as there is often a woeful lack of taste in choosing shoes. Sole Leather.

The rise in the cost of raw materiais and the increase in production costs have caused manufacturers to advane quotations, and this has been done although they realize that too great an advance may check buying. "Thus far there has been no gelteral resistance to higher prices, but several cases of resistance have reported by manufacturers. Severa: of the larger retailers have stated that although their stocks are low and they expect good spring trade they are not placing large orders for future delivery at present prices because they fear that buying on the part of the public will be curtailed if retail prices are raised to the level which the new wholesale quotations will necessitate. The checking oi rapid increases and the establish ment of levels that will assure continuation of present good bustpess is the problem with which industry and trade are most concernea at the present time."

They state. -one of the three great staples, is without doubt in short supply this year. The world's total pro duction is between 4.000.000 and 5.000.000 bales short of the quantity actually used last year and addltional quantities cannot be produced until the new crop becomes available in October. If business is good during the next six months, and we helieve it will be, a shortage is bound to develop and higher prices are inevitable. It is our judgment that purchases made now, at present comparatively low prices, will sure a supply later of standard quaiity merchandise owned on a very attractive basis." Montgomery Ward Recovers.
