‘DRINK IT BEFORE YOU
CROSS THE LINE” MAY
BE MOTTO RUM KILLERS
SEATTLE, April 21—“Drink it
before you cross the line,” is apt to
become the motto of Americans who
leave Canadian cities with a private
bottle for home consumption tucked
away in their automobile, following
the announcement that they will be
put into the class of rum runners.
In the past, if liquor was found
in home-coming autos, a $5 fine
was imposed and the liquor taken.
Under the new regulations announ
ced by Customs Collector Millard
T. Hartson, seizure of the automo
bile may result.
The new rules require that all ar
ticles purchased in Canada that are
in the automobile, must be declared
and if liquor is declared the cus
tomary $5 fine will be imposed, but
however, if liquor is found that has
not been declared, the automobile
vvill be seized and held as used for
smuggling.

JOHNSON CIDICK
IS CHUIBLINS FAST
CHICAGO, April 22—The future
course of Senator Hiram Johnson, can
didate for the republican presidential
nomination, will be decided upon by
the senate within the next few days
after conference with key men in sev
eral states .
While there is no confirmation of
the suggestion that the Johnson can
didacy will be withdrawn, those who
have been active in the campaign in
the Middle West make no secret of the
fact that Johnson expects to receive o
severe blow in the Michigan, Nebras
ka, and Illinois primaries.
That Senator Johnson staked great
hopes on his chances in Illinois has
long been conceded by his supporters
and his defeat recently, with the Cool
idge victories in Michigan and Nebras
ka, are known to have created a new
situation in the Johnson camp.
Supporters of the senator have ack
nowledged from the first that they
were waging an uphill battle for the
nomination and the recent withdraw
al of considerable financial support
added to the primary results of the
past four weeks, has brought about a
situation calling for decisive action on
the part of the senator.
Concern for the loyal friends and
supporters thruout the countiy who
have contributed considerable in time
and money to the individual state
fights in behalf of Senator Johnson,
has prompted him to confer with his
key men before finally deciding wrhat
the future of his campaign will be.
The many fishing boats in town
have greatly stimulated trade, the lo
cal stores selling large orders to these
visitors. More boats mean more trade,
and more trade means more prosper
ity.

NEW YORK, April 21—Luis Fir

touch with him by cable.
According to present plans, he
will leave for the United State on
April 25. Tex Rickard’s silver voice
raised in golden phraseology made
music that the avaricious Luis could
not listen to unmoved.
All the carefully laid plans for
a barnstorming tour, it appears
have been cast into the blue waters
of the River Plate. He will jour
ney hitherto to wage two combats
in return for resounding sums and
the man behind the bank roll is Tex j
Rickard.
Almost any respectable sum will |
resound so far as Luis is concerned.
His automobile business is a frost
and just now he is involved in ne
gotiations looking toward its sale.
