CLEVER TRICKS OF BOOTLEGGERS Maine Variety Have Many Dodgds to Fool the Federal Agents. FOUNTAIN SYRIN6ES USED "Walking fipeakeae ee" Are the Hard est to Catch?Liquor Is Cached in Odd Places by Itinerant Venders. Iluffaio, N. Y, John M. |-;vu>i>, who says he has had years of experlenc? in enforcing 1 h<< prohibitory laws In the stun- of Maim', stopped oft In llufTalo, says the OonrtW of that city, for a* few hours and related some interesting methods of conducting the liquor business under strict enforce ment. Mr. Kvans told Of many ways of handllug "wot" goods used by "boot leggers," but not one of the hundreds with whom .he )uis come in contact eyer used u bootleg ns a depository for his stock In trade. "While the qspMi ntIII sticks to in dividuals who defy the liquor law out side of regular *u loons and kitchen barrooms, the bootleg full of boo/.e censed to be when the high hoots wltli loose tops Went oil] or' style, Was Essy to Get Booze. "Up to the time of'the passage of the Webb law b.v tin* federal govern went* a few years ago." Mr. Kvans said, '.'providing for the labelling of all 'wet* good# bundled by express companies and other common carrier'*, it was u comparatively easy matter to got a plentiful supply of liquor froui Ronton wholesaler*, and oven tffter that most of the bootleggers mau/igvd to smuggle in by water or automobile, and there were some who concocted a mixture out of alcohol, Water, lmrnf sugar and a dash of tabasco, which they passed off on many an unsuspect ing victim. "The hardest bird we ever had to contend with was putting out booze for years. We knew he was doing it, but we could not get the goods on hhn,~ and It Was a long time before we got hiiu, even after we were wise to his system. This was his system: "At night he would load his over coat up with pints, half-pints and oc casionally a quart. These he would pluut, one In a pile of clapboards In a lumber yard, another in a Junk pile and stilt another under a doorstep or In a rubbish barrel in an alley. The next day lils customers would come to him,, pay hiiu for their purchase, and he would direct them to the near est plant.. "We began to be suspicious of him after a woman reported seeing a man remove a bottle from the muzzle of" one of the two hist/Tic cannon that guard the Soldiers' monument. Final ly we trailed him nt night, watched him sow his crop, harvested It and then placed him under arrest. Strangers "Not Wanted." "We were unable to got aV*onviction against him, nitliou^ch the fellow was j not working and had rio visible Means j of fropportMt was not \mtll we cattgltf him napping with a couple of stool pigeons that we "finally convicted him. In order for the system to work out ' well the hoot leader must he well ac qualnted with Mis customers and have their confidence in/u large degree. "Another popular method of dis pensing the hard stuff was through n couple fountain syringes, suspend- I od from the shoulders one in front and one on the back. They would fill a flask or servo by the drink as desired. "When things begin to get ton hot ] for the pocket peddlers," Mr. Nvans continued, "they solicit business and fill each order one at a time by taking the customers' money, going to the iilde and returning with the goods. I doubt If there N sufficient trust in one's fellow man for I his system to work out successfully in a <-iiy the size iif Huffiilo. "We have picked up men with :i j considerable stock of booze on their persons while to ;il| appearances it j did not *eent p<?sihle tluit the indl- ' vidua! < ould have more than :i flask i or so. "In the ?lays bel'me i In ? form-fitting clothes. when long coats and peg-top j trousers were in style, many a suit I was tailored w'lh huge pockets in the , troupers. and sometimes inutile f|n?

When a 'hide' was discovered It was generally the result of some disgruntled ??ni|?loyeo giving tho thing away. They rabge In capacity frpm 'hides' large enough to hold a half-pint close to the har itself to false cellar walls behind which too im11 els might be concealed. Most of the saloons had largo and small 'hides,' tho smaller ones being filled up dally from the big one by the boss himself. "Some of tho 'hides' consist of tanks set Inside of hewed-out girders In the floor above. These wero connected with a SHmll pipe which generally ended in a little 'olllco' right off the hut1. You would order a pint, tho bar tender would return to the 'office,' close a door, remove a calendar from the wall, behind which was a little disguised gaseock, from this he would remove a cap ami draw off the re quired amount. Other stores of booze wcjro kept In the tanks of ilush closets, which could he flushed from behind the bar in case the searchers got too close ami the evidence would go down the sewer. ? "Some had their main 'hides,' on adjoining property that would not be covered by the search warrant, to which access was had by means of secret ,doors and subterranean pas sage*.'* Beer Sold Openly. "What, about 2.75 per cent beer?" was asked. "Ever since 2.75 per cent beer was brewed." he replied, has been on sale openly In Maine. Fruit stores and small stands of nil kinds paid $25 for a federal license and put In a stock of bottled beer, while the sa loons sold the bottled and draught goods both. If the saloons have a light to sell It because It Is non-In toxicating and If It* Is non-lntoxlcat lng I can't see tho necessity of carry ing an excessive tax. I can't see what is there to prevent soda foun tains or anyone selling 2.75 beer af ter paying the federal tax of $25. "I'rolrtbltlon in Maine for many years was a Joke cxccpt for occasional spasms of enf6rccmcnt Just before an election when the pasty In power figured that they needed votes or the county treasury needed money.
