PART TWO RUM WARFARE MATCH OF WITS Gold-Toothed Terrier Has Flown 970 Hours THE DETROIT FREE PRESS SUNDAY, MAY 193t I GUARDIANS OF UNCLE SAM'S COASTLINE ELEVATOR MAN HAS UPTOWNS ST 9 L's if i 1 PCq 4 T- I vi) UkJ Police Employe Makes Study of Prisoners; Tells of Their Reactions. BY RILEY MURRAY. Jim McXally has his tips and downs just as well as anyone else around police headquarters. Jim is an elevator operator who divides his time there between running the prisoners' lift and one of three other cars employed to transport passengers to the nine floors of the headquarters building. Not only is Jim familiar with every nook and corner of the big structure at Beaubien and Macomb streets, but he also possesses more than passing knowledge of personnel and location of virtually all city and state offices within the environs of Metropolitan Detroit.

Often citizens seeking these oflices are mi'dlr 'Ced and approach pn' headquarters, so it is up to Jim to straighten out matters and send them away again. Mix Sublime and Ridiculous. "The sublime and the ridiculous," Jim declares, "often lurk In the same elevator where mothers and wives with tear-stained faces rub elbows with beaming police officers, cttorneys and politicians. "To close observers it matters not the crime, those locked away in cello are all of life itself, but to policemen and lawyers they merely ure prisoners or prospective clienis MNU" you may have suspected, Is a of psychology. His years of service as operator Af the prisoners' lift have given him the chance to get In contact with many of those about whom newspapers have printed columns and columns of copy.

He has seen them in their every mood. Jim says the most notable have been Dr. Frank R. Loomis, Ted Pizzino. and the kidnapers, Harry Hallisey and "Legs" Laman, and other members of their mob who recently were convicted for their crimes.

Whether or not a prisoner is guilty, Jim says, days of seclusion in a cell, with their attendant worry and isolation, generally changes the disposition of mind even of the most criminally inclined. "To my way of thinking," the operator declares, "It's about the only time that most lawbreakers ever give thought to the laws of state and government." He Sits as One-Man Jury. Members of the police department, McNally says, always are heedful when, after a perusal of records, they learn that a certain Coast Guard Vessels Harass Smugglers' Fleets Along Lake Erie Shores. BY ROBERT FERRY. "There's a lugger loading at Am-herstburg tonight," Chief Boatswain William McGaw confided as as I boarded the Coast Guard cutter 238 at the foot of Elm street In Wyandotte the other night.

"Are you ready to shove off?" "All net," I replied. "And here's hoping the lake's quiet. I just took time out for a big dinner." "You can't toll, In here It's always quiet. It's blowing up a bit r.ow out in the steamer channel. Let's go, boys." "Well, there's lota o' hungry fishes in Lake Eric," cracked one of the crew.

Lights Dimmed. The lights In the fo'castle, then In the engine room snapped off. The wheelhouse remained in shadow and a piece of gunny sacking was bound completely over the single bulb lighted in the galley. From the deck of the 75-foot cutter there was not a light showing. It was the dark of the moon and an overcast sky deepened the shadows over the Detroit river as the little vessel moved around the upper end of Grosse lie and passed Inside Mamaduc Island.

We were off on night 'patrol. Three other cutters of the same type and a number of smaller craft working out of the Trenton base were anchored or out on patrol from strategic points In the downriver section and out into Lake Erie. Cutters Effective In Ruin War. Mr. McGaw commands the base, established a little more than two years ago when the downriver section was "hot" with the rum traffic.

The 75-foot cutters, so effective In smashing the original Atlantic 'Rum Row," off New York, and brought here in 1928 and 1929, are still the mainstay of the lake fleet. They turn up from 15 to 17 miles per hour and what they lack In speed they make up In the effective argument of the one -pounders mounted on their fore-decks. Addition to the fleet of six new 36-foot cabin speedboats, capable of 35 to 40 miles an hour is expected. Two of them ate now on the way from Marblchead, Mr. McGaw reported.

Once out in the channel we encountered a brisk wind from the northwest. We were taking the seas quartering with a little roll and pitch at the same time. The 236's two six-cylinder gasoline engines were turning up about 500 revolutions. We were taking It easy, everyone in the wheelhouse Intent on scrutinizing the gray river.

to Help Girls Enjoy Vacation Time FIELD IS BROAD FOR TELEPHONE 40 Pet. of Homes in Nation Not Now Wired for Service. Although the Bell system Is directly connected with 91 per cent of all the telephones in the world and offers every subscriber a communication range of more than 32,500,000 stations, only 60 per cent of the homes of the United States are wired for telephones, according to a survey released today by Fra-zier, Jelke Co. The study points out that despite the business recession, relatively greater than any in the past 50 years, the system suffered a net loss of only 38,500 telephones through disconnection in the first, quarter of 1931. Since the first two-mile telephone conversation between Boston and Cambridge in 1876," says the analysis, "the major problem of the Bell system has not been financing, sales development, public relations or business organization, but the discovery and practical bpplicatlon of new scientific knowledge of the principles of telephony.

From the Bell Telephone laboratories has come practically every one of the dlvices familiar to the telephone user. Telephone engineers, by inventing more elaborate mechanisms which the public seldom sees, have made possible multiple-channel wires, the translation of dial impulses into mechanical voice calls, the most complicated switchboards, long-distance repeaters, buzzless conversations, radio telephony and trans-oceanic oral communication." Two-way television is now a reality, but because of expensive apparatus involved the discovery so far lacks practical commercial application. Many interesting by-products, such as sound pictures, radio improvements, picture transmission by wire, the artificial larynx, devices for the deaf and physicians' instruments, have come from the laboratories, which employ about 5,700 persons and have spent as much as 20 million dollars for re- searcn in a single year. "The American Telephone company and associated corporations employ about 395,000 persons, a larger personnel than any other business enterprise, the survey states. "A unique fact about the men and women who make up the Bell system organization is the zeal for service which the management has so successfully cultivated.

The first object in the minds of all is to provide adequate, dependable, efficient, satisfactory and constantly improving services. "Typical of this attitude was the answer of President Walter S. Gif-ford to the demand that the company 'do something' during the melon-cutting days of 1928 and 1929: 'The aim of the management and it is the only aim that will protect in the long run the safety of the investment of hundreds of thousands of stockholders is to continue to furnish the best possible telephone service at the least cost to the public. Extra or special dividends are entirely inconsistent with this aim and would be Their landing places are scattered all along from Lorain to Buffalo. On this end, Monroe, Gibraltar, Trenton and Wyandotte are still the active points.

Most of the loading is at LaSalle and Amherstburg, according to Mr. McGaw. "It's too rough for a lugger to try the open lake tonight," he commented. Brilliant Flare Shows. We were keeping close to the Ameiican shore, steering for the Monroe light, when a brilliant flare showed directly to starboard.

The wheelsman put her hard over and turned the cutter's nose toward land. "Stand by for a sounding," rang the order. The lead line went over as the cutter nosed in closer and closer to the shadow of the land. We were getting in near shoal water. "Three fathoms, with a mud bottom," was the report.

The motors cut out and as the anchor went over the side a second flare appeared about a mile south of the first. "They're moving down the commented Mr. Goebel, but a moment later the first flare came on again as the one to the south faded. Both were well back on the shore. "Signals." said Mr.

McGaw. "They're expecting one In here tonight It's too choppy for him to go around us Into the lake and if he comes down the shore he'll be between us and the point. If he's heading for Monroe or 'the bay' we'll see him coming down. A Battle of Wits. "Those fellows on shore," added, "try to flash a reflection from our wheelhouse windows to spot our locution.

We're lying too far out for 'em tonight." The rummers, according to his theory follow the cutters' movements as closely as the officers at the base and the game of curbing their traffic Is one of discouraging them at their home ports and beating them in knowledge of the lake. Mr. McGraw has patrols anchored near each of their bases and has forced at least one of them to pull up and leave since the spring weather opened. I was glad enough to have the cutter lying in close to shore. I still had my dinner and the evil prospect of the open lake was paBt.

"If anything comes past we have a chance to run him into a corner here," Mr. McGraw pointed out. "They're expecting one by the signs," he added as a third flare appeared to the north, flashed three times and disappeared. Fliuth Codes banged. "Sometimes their signals are as obvious as daylight, but just as often they're hard to solve.

They use every sort of colored light at various times for an order to come In. The kind of light doesn't mean the same thing twice." The flare to the north had just flashed red and white and our glasses were trained on the shadowy expanse of water across which a lugger might approach. The signals kept up for two hours and the vigil on board with it but before 2 a. m. the lights ceased to flash and the night watch was set.

The rest of us turned In for a few winks. "If anything happens you'll know about it," Mr. McGraw told me. "If that one-pounder Is fired above the fo'castle you'll think the top of the world has blown At 5 a. m.

I turned out again, got my eyes open with a cup of black coffee and we hove anchor and headed for port. Once back in the channel we had another few minutes of hope when a little craft loaded down to within a foot of the gunwales pulled into view from the Amherstburg channel and we put on full speed ahead. As we began to draw In she sighted us, swung wide and ducked back into a cove. When we got op posite she was lying by some old well out of reach. "Just a quiet night." said Mr.

McGraw. "See you sometime when we have better luck." $23,700 IN STOLEN BONDS IDENTIFIED campers are housed at one time. Miss Mary Farnsworth is in charge of this camp, while Mrs. Philomene Altman and Mrs. George S.

Thomas, the Y. W. C. A. is conducting its fourth camp, which is unique in this area.

It is Camp Norcom on Lake Nordham, near Dexter, and is designed for Negresses. Programs at the four camps are practically the same. Sports include Bwimming, boating, games, riding and hiking. There are classes in nature study, handicraft and dramatics. "We offer all the opportunities afforded by the private camps at a minimum cost," Miss Sanders explained.

"Our camps are open to girls of all religious denominations." Democracy is the keynote of the spirit at the camps. A section from last year's enrollment at Talahi was cited by Miss Sanders as evidence of the camp spirit. Among the women living in one cabin at the same time at Talahi were an experienced cook from Grosse Pointc. a nutrition expert from the Merrill-Palmer school, a parcel wrapper from a department store, a nurse from the Detroit board of health and a worker from an automobile factory. All Have Wonderful Time.

"They were cabin mates and all nad a wonderful time during their camp season," she said. "More than three-fourths of our girls at the older camps are clerical workers. Student nurses and hospital workers also are enthusiastic camp- Another feature is the Ramsay-George cottage at Talahl. This was opened in 1930 and is designed particularly for girls who work under a nervous strain, and wish to go to the camp to relax. It houses eight persons.

Whatever camp the girl may choose, she will find the same democratic attitude and an opportunity to play and relax at a minimum Miss Sanders in tne air. 135,000 Miles of Air Travel Is Record of Transport Pilot's Pet. BY ROYCE B. HOWES. Something more than 135,000 miles of travel, with never a crosscountry automobile trip or a ride on a railroad train, is the record of Cocoa, who first saw the light of day at Flint airport and since then rarely has been away from an airplane for more than a few hours.

He has flown over every state in the union and visited 28 cities in Canada and eight in Mexico. His log, a special log is kept for Cocoa, shows upwards of 970 hours flying. A Boston Bull Terrier. Although pun makers insist he should be a Skye terrier or an airdale, Cocoa is a Boston bull terrier. Cocoa's life began under a pall of tragedy, his mother having been killed by an automobile at the Flint flying field before his eyes were open; but he has not let the circumstances mar his disposition.

Not only is he cheerful and amiable, but at times he rises to comic heights by impersonating a nervous or air-sick passenger. Cocoa, being a veteran flier, can appreciate the not very substle humor of such impersonations. He survived orphanhood because H. N. Johns, his present master, adopted him immediately upon the death of Cocoa's mother.

Johns, a transport pilot, forthwith became an experimenter with nursing bottles. Cocoa prospered as a bottle-fed baby and shortly was able to graduate to hamburger and puppy buscuit. Born within sound of roaring motors and in sight of soaring planes, Cocoa took to the air as naturally as most dogs take to burying bones in the neighbors' gardens. As pilot in charge of a trl-motor ship owned by a wholesale grocery firm, Johns had occasion to tour smaller communities In every part of the country, and for the first year of his life Cocoa's home was the cabin of the plane. He even slept there at night, gradually becoming a fairly adequate watchdog.

Cocoa is too friendly to be an entirely adequate guardian. Has "Done" Outside Loop. If a juvenile souvenir hunter ventured near tho ship, he might become derelict In his duty, for Cocoa Is particularly fond of romping with children. Nor does Cocoa confine himself to straight flying. He has participated In all varieties of stunt flying, lnclurf.ng the perilous outside loop.

He flew through three of these with Dale Jakson, one time holder of the refueling endurance record. Cocoa also had his fastest ride with Jackson 240 miles an hour. This speed was attained In a power dive and the sudden change of altitude rendered him temporarily deaf. Unable to respond to the accustomed commands of his master and not trusting his own ears, he dogged Johns' heels steadfastly until the deafness passed. Somewhere In his career, Cocoa broke a tooth and now is one of the few canine's able to boast a gold crown.

This crown was installed a year ago at the Mayo dental clinic in Rochester, Minn. Johns was having some dental work done and the dentist, without serious intention, suggested that he repair the broken tooth. Paws Plane Window. Cocoa's master, however, seized upon the offer and the dentist agreed to Install the crown if Cocoa would behave. Evidently he did, for when he grins the crown flashes opulently.

Sitting in a dental chair would be no novelty to Cocoa, of course. When he flies he always sits in a chair, paws on the window sill, to watch the scenery speed by below. Cocoa's home for the summer Is In Dearborn, but he spends most of his time at Ford airport, where Johns keeps the transport he is using for sightseeing tour purposes. He can go along on trips over the city, which is to his liking; and when he finds a bone he can crawl into the cabin of a tri-moter to chew it. Cocoa much prefers to do his bone masticating In such fa-milar quarters instead of pursuing the custom of more conventional dogs and going behind the kitchen stove or under the porch.

TEACHERS WILL TAKE MOONLIGHT EXCURSION The members of the Detroit Teachers" association will embark upon a moonlight excursion at 8:30 p. Tuesday, boarding the steamer Put-In-Bay at the foot of First street. Miss Mary De Mani-gold, president of the organization, announced Saturday. In a report upon the activities of the association during the year, Miss De Manlgold listed the contribution of the association members to the Community Fund, the largest made by any civio group, end the active support given the new Michigan state teachers' retirement system. JIM McNAIXY.

youth, picked up in a gang' roundup, never before has been in custody. Experience has revealed for Jim, he observes, that advice, counsel, argument, expostulation nothing carries more persuasive power with these "adventure seeking" youths than perhaps a few days or even hours in the jail on the ninth floor. McNally. is among the first to witness the reactions of a prisoner before he is lodged in the cell block. Jim takes note of their expression and mannerism, employing this as a background after learning the details of the case.

In event the crime merits space in the news papers, he follows it through the courts, sitting as his own one-man jury. Then, after the real jury is charged by the judge, Jim buries himself In evidence he himself has collected and strives to return a "verdict." "Laugh, if you will," Jim tells his listener, "but it's my hobby, and I enjoy it."

Playtime is at hand for the Detroit girl, whether she be a young business woman, factory worker or high school student Here in the Motor City opportunities, such as are seldom found elsewhere in the world, await her. The Young Women's Christian association, of Detroit, is making that playtime possible for the sllmcst purse. It may be only a two-day holiday, or for the luckier girl an entire summer, but in either case the can accommodate her at one of its four Michigan camps. Vacation Problems Solved. Daily the local organization is solving the vacation problems for Detroit girls and women.

With the opening of camp registrations June 1, they expect to make arrangements for hundreds of girls from the city and its suburbs. One instance of the camps' service is recounted by Miss Mary Hopkins, publicity director of the Detroit Y. W. C. A.

Saturday a girl appeared in Miss Hopkins' office. She was pale and tired, obviously in need of a rest. Her voice shook with disappointment as she recounted her story. "I was planning for a vacation the last week in August," she said. "By then I could save enough money to go somewhere to a lake for a few days, but that's all off.

"My boss changed the schedule. Business is slow and now I'm to take the first week in July instead. What'U I do? I need a vacation, but I can't have enough money saved bv then to go anywhere?" She was told of the camp program and its extremely low cost. The girl's problem was solved. She plans to go to Camp Talahl, a business girls' camp, for her holiday.

Average Cost Is Low. This girl is just one of 40 young women who can be accommodated simultaneously at the camps, operated by the Detroit organization, under the direction of Miss Lauretta G. Sanders, general camp chairman. Her choice, Talahl. is located on Lake Chelan, seven miles from Brighton and 47 miles from De troit The season there opens July The rates at Talahi are $10 weekly I and $2 for week-end visits.

This is the average cost at a camp, the expense varying, according to i the one selected. For girls of the same age as those attending Talahi are the Grace cot-j tages at Lake Orion, 40 miles from Detroit. Life" at this camp differs from the other in one respect, however. Miss Sanders explained. "Talahi is intended for girls who want to follow an active sports program and who wish to get out most of the campers spend their time resting, swimming and playing bridge.

"The location of the camp is such that they can join in the social life of the resort. The camp itself af fords more of the comforts of home Both of these camps are now opening for their fourth season.

"Yes sir, things are a bit quieter on the river now than before Canada clamped on the export ban," Mr. McGaw offered.

"We'd never run this far without at least good chase In those days." With the glasses trained on the shore of the island, a seaman picked up a dark object moving along close-in. He- handed the glasses to the bos'un. "Just an honest fisherman," Mr. Goebel suggested. "Well, he might as well be," rer plied Mr.

McGaw. "When a little fellow like that gets In among the rocks we can't follow him but wait until those 36-footers get Into action. The cutters draw five feet cf water. Grounded Barge Burns. We passed the glare of lights on Stony, where a dredge firm makes Its repairs.

At the lower point of Stony, a grounded barge that had been burning for more than 24 hours, icast a bright glow on three figures moving about. "More honest fishermen," someone jibed. "Yeh? What would an honest man be doing out there at this time of night?" came the rejoinder.

Herline helped the diver who salvaged her engines last November. He traded off shifts with the diver, donned his suit and and went down into Lake Erie to help bring up the motors. It was Mr. Herline who rescued Sadie Sweet, daughter of the keeper the Detroit river lighthouse last October 18, during a storm. He was in command of the 121 when It answered a radio call for help.

Miss Sweet had fallen on the steps of the lighthouse and suffered a frao-tured skull. The 121 pulled alongside the light with the waves breaking over the high concrete crib. Mr. Herline carried the unconscious girl in his arms down the ladder to the cutter and safety, when one slip would have meant death to both of them She was taken to the hospital In Trenton and recovered A letter of commendation from M.

A good rescue, the old-timers will tell you, is food and drink to the men in the service. Rum chasing is only a sideline. But before the right was over we were to learn that it is still a very live sideline, in spite of the Canadian ban.
