Tonight the tipster assured the chief tii at he had more than idle rumor to pass along. He knew positively, he said, that the booze was on the way. Up to midnight the watchers had not seen even the flicker of a light on the harbor surface and there were none of the hangers on who usually gather when there is a real chance of some booze being landed on the beach.

Towards midnight the chief had become suspicious that someone had been spooling his tipster but he is a tenacious man and he declares he will stick until Maj George F. 11. Murray, 71, who was commander of old Company of the Oth Regiment, M. V. M.

WOULD WELCOME AMERICA III LEAGUE Waller of County Cork Speaks in Boston America, if and when she does enter the League of Nations, will receive no welcome more cordial than that which Ireland will extend to her, said Bolton C. Waller of County Cork, Ire, secretary of the League of Nations Society of Ireland, in his addres before the 'Massachusetts Branch of the League of Nations Association, at its annual meeting in the Twentieth Century Club yesterday afternoon. To Ireland, Mr Waller said, the League of Nations was at first an object of grave suspicion, as an alliance of victors of the war. The idea that tne Leaguowas de signed to keep down small Nations has 4 f- i -4 cs Ay bolton c. waller passed, he said, and the small nations are being listened to as they never were before.

Bumming up what he considered Ire land was getting out of League of Nations, Mr Waller said It had won recognition as country standing on its own feet. Ireland Looks for No Foe Mr Waller said a European country can hardly afford to be outside the League of Nations, Ireland cannot afford to establish foreign consulates and the League gives it the contacts it needs. The most Important thing, said Mr Waller, Is that the League ls working for Ireland has triad to show that it Is a peaceful country. It has reduced Its army one-half. The time has come when there must be a definite step toward actual disarmament.

i The dleappearance of the 'stage Irishman, with his tread-on-my-coat pugnacity and bluster indicates a real change of outlook. We have declared our readiness to settle all disputes peacefully. Ireland counts on having no enemy and harboring no enmity in the time to come Mrs Sayre Cuts Cake Prof Manley O. Hudson gave review of the activities of the League, He said the World Court budget is part of the League of Nations budget and suggestions, in the conference, that the World Court should be considered as standing apart, on its own feet, have failed. This may not be a popular view In this country.

Prof Hudson said, but as the United States enters the World Court he looks for a different attitude toward the League. The 10th anniversary of the League was signalized with a birthday cake bearing 10 candle which Mrs Margaret Wilson Sayre, daughter of President Wilson, was invited to cut. Dr Samuel A. Eliot presided at the luncheon. At th morning session Pres Conrad Hobbs presided.

A feature was the presentation of a gift to Mrs Richard H. Gorham, retiring secretary, from a committee of 22 friends organized by Mrs J.

SaSS.Jmimmim He is hopeful of legislation that will cause Infants to be vaccinated before they are a year old, before they are running around and active and again when children enter school, either public or private.

At present there is class legislation, he said, compelling children to be vaccinated before they enter publio school, hut not applying to children entering private school. I favor complete rather than partial Immunization. Censorship by threat aqd in face of an obsolete statute, came under the criticism of Edward H.

Listening in on the flight of the 18 Army planes from Detroit to Spokane and back, they picked up the messages sent especially to them and handled them with promptness. One of the important factors to be settled by this country-wide -haln of amateurs is the determination of the wave length which will be asained the amateurs at the next radio conference. The flight of the planes first of all will test heating devices and personnel, but the members of the American Radio Relay League, will be under observation during the length of the flight. In each section, members had been appointed to act as llason officers for the press, to determine their fitness in time of emergency when the radio dot-and-dash would be the only way of sending messages through the country. The Boston area was assigned to John W.

Bailey of Weston and Myles Weeks of Brookline, both of whom find amateur radio a stimulating hobby. They are part of th ARRL chain of stations, whigh nightly exchange code messages throughout the country and already have shown their fitness during several emergencies. Baileys station, WIKH, easily picked Up the messages from the radio plane of the Army squadron and learned that 13 of the planes had landed at Duluth. The radio plane, however, met with mechanical trouble and did not get farther than Et Ignace, Mich. This plane hopes to catch, up with th others today.

The children wore costumes suggesting that of Sir Galahad, red in color, with white helmets on whicb were red crosses, and carried shields in the same color scheme. The ceremony was conducted by the minister of the church, Rev Lynn J. Radcliffe, and his assistant. Rev George A.

Butters, who were dressed as knights in chain armor and helmets.

The man is said to be a former Boston police officer and Is at present prominent In sporting circles.

Lieut Stephen J. Gillis, head of the Police Headquarters flying squadron, inspector of divisions in the Boston Police Department, and as such the right-hand man of Police Commissioner Herbert A. Wilson, is in ebarge of the police investigation of the case. A number of men are working on the case from Federal Headquarters, many of them having been brought Into Boston for that specific purpose. L.eut Gillis Is the only man working on the investigation for Commissioner WllBon.

Politicians Under Fire From what could be learned last night, the two inquiries are directed not only at police officers, but also at politicians in Boston, who are said to have been active in commercializing the sale of liquor. It Is understood that the trail of graft may lead to the doorsteps of a number of city officials and others prominent In public life who have pulled the strings to allow the distribution of liquor. About a month ago, it was learned last night, the former ruler of the liquor crowd in Boston was enticed Into an automobile and driven to a deserted section of Boston by a group of men he considered friendly to him. When the car was brought to a stop on a deserted street, he was told in no uncertain terms that a new liquor gang was about to begin operations in Boston, and the new gang intended to handle its business whether there was Interference or not. If any Interference resulted, the liquor king would hear about it, he was told.

He wouldnt hear In words, but by means of a machine gun or pistol. The former liquor king and sporting man agreed that Boston was a large enough territory for two gangs. He used discretion he had to do eo with a pistol pressing against his ribs. New Bootleg Gang Strong Since that time the rival bootleg gang has opened Its business in Boston, establishing' headquarters In a downtown building, according to the police. Its operations have been ex-1 tensive, and at present, from what can be learned of the situation, the new gang le handling most of the wholesale alcohol business in Boston.

I la tha opinion of the police, the two men at the head of the new liquor Combine In Boston aim td drive tbs former Boston pollcs officer out of the city. Their attack, according to police, comes at a time when the former liquor king is in difficult financial circumstances due to the recent lose of $60,000 in a gambling game. The authorities believe that the new gang may be tied up with a bootlegging outfit that has heretofore confined Ate activities to the South Shore and the Cape, and that the intention of the two outfits is to gain control of all of Eastern Massachusetts, I One of the men in the new com-1 bine, police say, returned to Boston only a short time ago after an absence of three years. The other, it Is said, is a former Boston bootlegger who dealt extensively In liquor in Boston until his business was broken up a year ago by the Federal authorities. Federal Probe of Police The Federal investigation, It was learned on good authority last night, Is directed at the Police Headquarters liquor Bquad and also at the personnel of station houses in the downtpwn section of the city.

Federal officials would like to know where Boston patrolmen, working for only a moderate Balary, get the money with which to purchase high-priced cars. They would also like to know, It was said last night, how bo many known purveyors of liquor art allowed to operate with Immunity in the center of the city and in the North, South and West Ends. They would still further like to find out how it happens that the liquor establishments the police Taid. are usually small places of the 10-oent variety. Nearly a month ago, It was learned on good authority, a prominent Boston clergyman wrote to Police Commissioner Wilson asking why the former liquor ruler in Boston was allowed to operate without being molested.

This clergyman, It is said, had not only the name of the rum king, but also knew how maify trucks he was Operating to transport his liquor, and knew a number of the 'establishments operated by him. Minister Starts Inquiry This letter, it IS Understood, played a large part ia the opening of the inquiry by the Boston police. Ah officer of ths Police Headquarters liquor squad was ordered to investigate the complaint made in ths clergymans letter, and after a period of several 'days he reported back that there was no evidence to support the clergymans letter. Apparently this report did net satisfy the commisioner, for a few days later Lieut Gillis was assigned to ths inquiry. Ha has been working on the matter for several days, and during that time haa been in constant communication not only with the commissioner but also with Supt Michael H.

Crowley. The results of his Inquiry have not been mada public. It Is understood that the Federal authorities are working on the basis that the Black Duck, the rum craft on which three rum-runners were killed and another seriously wounded only a short time ago, ia owned by Boston men. Rumors to that effect have been current throughout Boston since the killing of the trio, and extra Secret Service men now in Boston have been assigned to trace the ownership of the boat and also the, ownership of the liquorewith which was loaded, it Is understood.
