Rouses Point, New York, June
—The amount of liquor crossing
the American border today is limit-
ed solely by the amount which the
rum runne.rs believe they can dis-
pose of at a profit.

cerned with the market than with
the source of supply or the diffi-
culty of gettirg it ucross.

border under instructions to ascer-
tain the exact situation, following
repeal of New York state’s prohi-
bition enforcement law

Fort Covington, a stretch of sixty
miles, a bootleggers’ invasion of
tho United States is in full swing.
lhe federal prohibition agents
are outnumbered 100 to 1.
The smugglers, working in re-

loads of every kind of liquor into

Washington, June 8. — With
bootleggers operating boldly on tho

tion was “greatly exaggerated.”
If the federal officials have any
plan for combatting the inflow of

LOST IN WRECK!
By Associated Press.
Oklahoma City, June 8.-|-FoUow-
ing publication of reports that ap-
propi iations for state school*, al-
lowed by the Ninth legislature, re-
duced by Governor Walton, would
be railed into question by court ac-
tion, the chief executive today reiter-
ated; that “whatever happens”, he
will not call a special session of the
legislature
Th.; governor added that if the de-
cision of the court held that his cuts
were unconstitutional, he was con-
fident that some way could be found
to keep the schools open.
Institutions affected by the pro-
posed suit are the university, the
State Agricultural A Mechanical col-
lege. Oklahoma College for Women
at Ckickaaha, fiva of the state nor-
mal schools, the Pauls Vallay Indus-
trial school, th* Pryor Orphans*
Home, the Taft institution for negro
children and the State Business Col-
lege at Tonkawa.
Lawyer* contend that Walton had
no authority to either raise or reduce
an item, an<f that hia action amount-
ed in effect to attemping to amend
a law.
Whether he killed the entire item
by his attempted “split veto” or
whether he actually approved the en-
tire item, if he lacked authority for
(he action taken, remains to be de-
termined, it is said.
Majority opinion inclines to the
belief, however, that all item* so
treated are dead. If that opinion is
■re opinion of the supreme court,
then but one at alternative remains,
land that a special session of the leg-
islature. unless half of the state’*
institution* are to be closed for the
next two year*.
Persons high in the councils of the
Walton, administration have said chat
•he chief executive would never call
a special session.
Several, in fact, have stated that
be vmuld declare martial law at In-
stitutional towns and commandeer
services of instructors and supplies
This latter course, however, has n >
precedent and observers have tak~n
vtch predictions with a grain of salt
