Bootleggers Invent Many
Ways to Defeat Dry Law
PHOENIX, Ariz.—“For ways that
are dark and tricks that are vain,
the ‘bootlegging’ man is peculiar,”
would be an apt paraphrase of a
well-known poem on the history of
the illicit liquor trade in Arizona
since the state went dry December
14, 1914.
The original “bootlegger,” say
those who profess to know, carried
the whisky with which he did un
lawful trading concealed in flat
flasks in the legs of his boots, hence
the name. One of these gentle
men, the first to come under the
eyes of the officers for many
months, was captured in Phoenix
recently, but the up-to-date pur
veyor of liquor in Arizona resorted
to much more elaborate tricks to
import or manufacture and sell his
wares.
The copper-lined trunk, with four
compartments, shipped in from a
non-prohibition state by express,
was a favorite up to a short while
back, when federal officers arrested
one man in San Jose, California,
and another in Phoenix, who were
making a business of shipping these
trunks back and forth.
In Jerome, recently, a large and
suspicious-looking barrel arrived by
express, according to the story told
by the federal officials. It was
heavy, and the deduction was that
. it was full of something. It was
deposited on the station platform
but nobody came to claim it. Of
ficers investigated and found il
filled with whisky, so a close watch
was set on the barrel, day anc
night. There it stood for severs!
days till the arms of the law be
: came weary of the vigil and decided
to remove it to headquarters foi
safekeeping.
Then came the surprise. The bar
rel that arrived full was empty
and when it was moved the mys
tery was explained by a large augei
hole in the station platform imme
: diately under it. Its owner knew it
was being watched, so, without at
tracting anyr undue attention, he had
crawled underneath the platform
■ ... --7-----------zs
•bored a hole through the planks
and the end of the barrel, and
drawn off the' much-desired liquor.
At $10 a pint, the prevailing price,
he made a good haul.
An automobile tire traveling by
express has been known to bring
whisky into the state, and recently
a large consignment of “condensed
milk” was found to have nothing
lacteal about it but the label, while
the interior of the cans was deco
rated with “old rye."
Suitcases carried along as per
sonal baggage also have furnished
means to introduce the forbidden
drink into Arizona, but alert of
ficers have developed the habit—
unpleasant for the guilty—of care
lessly bumping into or gently kick
: ing suitcases, and any telltale “tin
kle" almost always is fatal.
While the ingenuity of the im
porter of whisky into dry Arizona
has devised many elaborate and
, some exceedingly clever methods of
trying to outwit the law. his broth
er, the “moonshiner,” has been just
as original.
Illicit stills, grading all the way
from a small gas stove with a can
and a copper pipe to the modern
and fully equipped article, have
been raided and confiscated, but
the most elaborate discovered in
years was unearthed in a raid in
the Verde district.
The still room was excavated at
a distance of twenty feet from a
well, its roof being about four feet
below the surface of the ground.
The room was ten feet square, with
walls six feet high, and could be
reached only by a tunnel running
from the well, with the opening 12
feet below the well curb.
Ventilation and the escape of
fumes from the still were assured
by a stack running from the roof
of the subterranean chamber, and
to afford a plausible excuse for the
appearace of this above ground, the
stack was run through a forge
standing immediately above the still
,room. i
MANY WOMEN
HOLD OFFICES IN
SALT LAKE CITY.—With one
exception, every county in Utah
has elected a woman to fill either
a county office or to be a member
of the legislature, and this is bc
lived to be the largest number of
women officials in any state in the
union. Twenty-five Utah women
hold county offices in the state.
All but one of 29 counties have
at least one office filled by women,
while Salt Lake county has three
women representatives and one
woman senator in the state legis
lature.
In Garfield county women hold
the offices of recorder and clerk;
a woman fills the office of clerk,
I recorder and auditor in Morgan
county; women hold the offices of
treasurer and recorder in Piute and
Sevier counties and in Wayne
county women hold the office of
clerk, auditor and treasurer.
Kane and Wasatch county treas
uries are in charge of women and
recorders in eleven other counties
are of the feminine sex.
DEER DOING WELL
ON ALASKA ISLANDS
CORDOVA.—Stocking of Hinch
[ inbrook and Hawkins island se'-erai
years ago with deer by the resi
dents of Cordova, is believed to
have proved successful, according
to Dr. J. H. Baughman. Reward,
game warden for the Third Alaska
division, who made an inspection
for Governor Thomas Riggs. Jr.
Dr. Baughman reported that tesii
[ mony of residents on the island
; indicated the deer were doing well.
—
Joseph H. Ibach. an island fox
farmer, near Cordova, recently re
ceived a cablegram from London
[ informing him that the twenty-five
j blue fox pelts sent to that city
i brought $250 apiece. Mr. Ibach
shipped a hundred skins to New
ork, for which he received only
$150 apiece, and in consequence is
$7,500 loser by the transaction.
