Travel Over Pole Corridor
Causes Many Difficulties
(Continued from Page One
er subterfuge which enables persons
desirous of entering Danzig to dodge
the irregular-shaped corridor created
in the Versailles Conference in such
a manner as to enable Poland to con
trol important railway junctions.
A motorcar or carriage taking the
highway south from Danzig to Marien
burg, a distance of less than thirty
miles, must* pass through six different
control stations. By taking the side
roads further to the east than the main
road, and crossing the River Vistula
on a primitive ferry, it is possible to !
avoid these controls and enter the j
Free City of Danzig without question.
Marienburg hotels are always crowd
ed with persons who are trying to
get into Danzig. Every train from
ihe west side of the corridor brings
many surprised passengers who thot
they were on their way to Danzig but
were not allowed to stop in the city.
Day and night motorcars are running
to Danzig.
The Polish Corridor control can be
avoided by traveling from Stettin to
Danzig by boat, and in summer the
Germans who come from West Prus
sia to Zoppot, the celebrated seashore
resort near Danzig, generally travel
by sea. Many visitors also go to
Danzig by air, thus dodging the corri
dor.

Federal Printer Helps
Indict Whisky Forgers
WASHINGTON, D. C., Feb. 26.—
How the government printing office
turned detective and materially assist
ed in the conviction of seven men
who participated in one of the biggest
whisky frauds ever prosecuted under I
the prohibition law has been disclosed
in the annual report of George H.
Carter, the public printer..
Three hundred suspected permits
for the withdrawal of whisky from
bonded warehouse had been seized by
the department of justice and the bu
reau of internal revenue, and consti
tuted the only material evidence in
the government’s case the distillery of
A. Guckenheimer Bros. Co. and 13 in
dividual defendants, charged with
illegal withdrawal of large quantities
of bonded whisky from Pittsburgh
warehouses.
A number of these permits, how
ever had been so cleverly imitated by
the photo engraving process that they
completely defied all attempts at de
tection by experts, and the defend
ant’s contention that they were legal
permits issued by the gpvernment of
ficials seemed for a time to be irrefu
table.
The public printer finally suggested
that a test be made of the paper used
in both the genuine and the false per
mits. It was learned that the true
permits were on a 50 per cent rag pa
per, with the government’s water
mark running lengthwise on the sheet.
The suspected permits, on the other
hand, were printed on paper on which
the water-mark, although correctly
reading “Internal Revenue Prohibi
tion,” ran across instead of length
wise of the sheet. Furthermore, the
' " -—-M
paper varied in composition from all
wood pulp to 95 per cent rag content.
The evidence submitted by the
printing office appeared conclusive
to the courts, and aided the govern
ment in obtaining the conviction in
May, 1924, of seven of the defendants.
George E. Daily, and wife, with a
seven-months-old baby, walking from
New Orleans to the former home in
Manila, la., passed through Briming
ham recently.
Stephen Elinger of South Bend, Ind.
tried to whip his flapper daughter,
but she fled to a neighbor’s. Now he
wants the court to make her return
home.
