Put to Sea.
‘ Lucky Lady’ in Charge
By AMorlntpil I'rri*.
Highlands, N, J., Dec. 14.—Icy
gales kicked lip such seas along the
Jersey coast today that all but seven
of llio Christmas rum squadron of 20
vessels weighed anchor and withdrew
to the open sea to ride out the storm,
ptf^rho weather and the heavy rein
' forced federal, state and county staffs
of prohibition agents, at sea and
ashore, threatened to send glimmer
ing tho rum runners’ last hopes of
smuggling through to the big cities
the thousands of cases of whisky and
wine the rum fleet carries.
Not a bottle fisherman ventured out
to the fleet today. Their speedy
craft, including (hose newly launched
in the last few days in the hope of
garnering some of the Christmas
trade harvest, rode safely at anchor
in the camouflaged liquor landing
havens that abound in this and near
by coast towns.
“Lucky Igidy” Landlocked.
Even the super-rum craft, Ixmise,
reputed flagship of a fleet of fast
lsjttle-runners, said by revenue offi
cers to be operated by a woman,
known to them as “Lucky Lady,” re
mained in her little land-locked basin
at Keyport.
Prohibition officers ashore, how
ever, were warned by revenue cutter
sailors that “Lucky Lady,” whom
they recently rescued from drowning,
when one of her bottle boats sank
v. ith a cargo on the way in from the
rum fleet at night, had recovered and
was actively directing the fleet of
city-going liquor trucks and touring
cars which she is reputed to operate
ashore.
“Lucky Lady” is a brunette of 30
and the head of a syndics**; of whisky
smugglers that operates both water
; nd land craft, the authorities say.
t he accompanied her own ships out
to Rum How, they say, bargained
^ ith the shippers there for supplies
of imported liquor and directed the
unloading and reloading into cars at
(he beach. .She usually rode the
Louise, which federal rum hunters,
whose mosquito fleet has tried to
capture her, say is one of the fastest
craft on the coast.
Malone, X. Y., Dec. 14—Enforce
ment agents along the northeastern
frontier of the state say they have
stopped most of the leakage of holi
day liquor over the Canadian frontier.
While adrn.tting that perhaps some
fleet liquor laden automobiles had
escaped their vigilance in little trav
eled roads during the snowstorm of
last night, the agents were convinced
that the drivers of the larger cargoes
were unwilling to take a chance, know
ing that tiie highways were excep
tionally well guarded.
The bootleggers were said to be in
a rage over tlid delay In fulfilling
down-state contracts with financial
losses in sight. The agents would
not I*e surprised to sc*- a concentrat
ed dash over the line by half a dozen
machines. The theory being that
while some would be caught, others
might escape in the confusion.
Weather conditions also are causing
nnxiety among the smugglers. Tile
winters In tills north country sre us
ually severe and deep snow clogs the
highways for months, making fast
traveling out of the question.
.So far. tho weather has been re
markably mild and the snowfall lias
lieen Inconsequential. Hut these ideal
conditions for smuggling are not llko
> ly to continue much longer and the
closing of I ho roads means compara
tive inactivity, with a large stock of
contraband on hand.
High .lackers Active.
Ijtst winter, the smugglers used
sleighs, but these were easily caught
by the Black llorse troopers, whose
sturdy steeds have an uncanny way
of speeding through deep snow. The
brawny, sagacious police dogs of 11n
state troopers are invariably used In
winter weather and this year the of
ficers plan to use them trior*- than
ever.

Lowly Carp, Cornfed, Mounts Social
Scale to Tables of Elite Fish Lovers
Modern Fishermen, Through Application of
Improved Environment and Scientific Diet,
Develop Humble Fish Into Palatable Delicacy
McGregor. Ia.. Dec. 14.—Cornfed
carp is a newcomer among the prod
ucts of the corn belt td win favor
in the eastern markets. Like the
cornfed hog and steer this cornfed
representative of the finy race now
goes alive to New York from Iowa.
Minnesota and Wisconsin in special
stock cars, with attendants in charge
and all the rest.
Most people don't think very highly
of the carp as food. Left to himself
it Is true the carp does not develop
into very good eating, bijt eommereial
fishermen of the upper Mississippi
have discovered a way of changing
carp from coarse fish to fine fish. At
several points along the river, par
ticularly at Lansing, Iowa, and Genoa,
Wls., they are enegaged successfully
In this work.
Diet Is the Thing.
"As the water is, so Is the fish,"
is a common expression among fish
ermen. Carp taken from sluggish
lakes or slow moving, contaminated
rivers are not very palatable, but put
them in cold, pure, swift-running
waters, and a refining and filrming
of flesh takes place. Add to this
water treatment corn rations, and the
humble carp becomes transformed
into a line table fish, almost as good
to eat as pike or bass.
A typical carp farm ih that of M.
Ehrlich & Sons fish dealers at Lan
sing. Ia. By enclosing a shore area
of the Mississippi in earth embank
ments, the Ehrlich's have created
two large ponds. An artesian well,
sunk several hundred feet Into the
sand rock at the head of the ponds,
pours a copious flow of water in a
small cataract down an incline into
the ponds, creating a fish habitat
pure and cold as the trout streams of
the western mountains.
The carp are seined from the river,
brought in in live crates by motor
boats and placed in these ponds. Fish
put in in August, September and
October may bo kept there until win
ter, as the waters never freeze. They
improve In quality all the time, and
meanwhile prices for fish get better
also.
Switn to Market.
While the pure, cold, flowing
waters are hardening and refining the
fish, they are kept on a diet of corn
and harley. The grain is not fed to
fatten them, but to keep the carp
from losing weight and to give flavor
and delicacy to the flesh.
When finishing off is completed,
the fish are shipped east in specially
built cars, 20,000 to 30,000 pounds to
a car. They are confined in tanks of
water, into which fresh air is pumped
at stated intervals during the trip,
by attendants who accompany the
shipment. So it is in liveliest content
ment that the three and five and 10
pounders swim to eastern cities in
their well-aerated water compart
ments. When they reach the market
they are' in tiptop condition, Mr.
Ehrlich says, and are still flopping
to tempt customers who like these
artesian-water-hardened, cornfed carp
of the Mississippi and like them
"strictly fresh."
With the vast numbers of carp in
the Mississippi, and the ease with
which an artesian flow of water enn
be obtained at most nny pace along
the shores, fishermen believe carp
farming on the northern Mississippi
can become a big business.
Denial Is Issued
by Tom Carroll
Stale Officer Says Sheriff
Badges Not Distributed
Liberally.
Lincoln. bee. 14.—Tom Carroll,
Mate law enforcement officer, today
indignantly denied reports that he
has liberally distributed state deputy
sheriff badges among evidence men
in the employ of his office. The re
ports were inspired by the possession
of a badge by Fred A. Holmes, found
tjot guilty ^of usurpation yesterday
by a Cass county jury. *
"We have never given badges to
more than two or three men," he
said, "and then oly to those who had
worked for us some time and whom
we knewe There has been no such
thing as a wholesale distribution of
badges.”
No evidence man at the present
time Is in possession of a badge, he
declared.
Commenting on the verdict of the
jury that freed Holmes, Carroll said:
"Holmes is a good, straight chap
and a hard worker, and the only
money he has obtained for his work
in Cass county came from fees. It Is
my understanding that whatever he
did was at the suggestion of the
count yattorney and he is innocent
of intentional misbehavior,’’

Washington. IJec.»14 —"W omen at
tending the meeting of the republican
national committee this week didn't
participate in politics. They were
simply a well entertained audience.
This, in brief, was the opinion ex
pressed by Mrs. b>lgar Penney of
Fullerton, new associate committee
woman for Nebraska, who left Wash
ington today.
“We were more in the position of
the small boy who asked his mother
if he might go swimming, " Mrs.
Penny said. “The mother replied:
Hang your clothes on a hickory limb
but don't go near the water.'
"The next time we really partici
pate In deliberations of the national
committee. Its action in recommend
ing to the national convention that
we bo given equal rights on ttie com
mittee is encouraging.
“It did look queer, though, that
the committee questioned Its author
ity to vest us with this privilege and
in the next breath overrode authority
of the national convention which had
delegated a special committee to act
upon reducing southern representa
tion. .
“I Intend to report to the Nebraska
state chairman for any duty possible
for me to perfbrm at the coming elec
tion. Organization of women In the

Additional Duty of Director

tion Given Iowa
Man.
Grain Growers Favored
Chicago, Dec. 14.—The new exec
utive committee of the American
Farm Bureau federation today rein
stated J. W. Coverdale of Iowa, ousted
last Saturday by the outgoing com
mittee. as secretary and treasurer of
the federation. The committee gave
him the additional office of director
of organization, formerly held by a
separate official. Consolidation of the
offices had been one of the recom
mendations of a sub committee of the
outgoing committee.
Another blow was delivered to the
an.ti-Coverdale forces, when the com
mittee, according to an official state
ment issued from the offices of the
federrtion, endorsed indirectly the
United States Grain Growers' corpor
ation. This endorsement was in the
form of an endorsement of another
resolution, said to have been adopted
at a meeting of midwestem grain
growers in July, 1923, which in turn
endorsed the corporation. The com
mittee postponed until another meet
ing in January action, upon a resolu
tion endorsing the national wheat
growers' advisory committee, which
had been referred to It by the direc
tors at the convention Wednesday.
Aaron Sapiro is counsel for this com
mittee.
It was the sense of the committee
that the resignation of Walton Peteet
of Texas, as marketing director, was
duly submitted to the directors In con
vention and stands without action by
the committee. Mr. Peteet differed
with Mr. Coverdale relative to mar
keting machinery, preferring to see
the federation work In cooperation
with the national wheat growers’ ad
visory committee than with the Unit
ed States Grain Growers' corporation.
The committee pledged Itself to the
promulgation of co-operative market,
ing, but left the machinery for the
continuance of the work formerly
done by Mr. Peteet to be determined at
the next meeting, set for January 21.

Washington. Dec. ]4.—Although
there appeared for a time today a
possibility of the breaking of the
senate deadlock when balloting i» re
sumed Monday, this virtually wa>
dissipated by i formal announced
on behalf of the group of seven who
have been supporting Senator Ei
Follette. of Wisconsin .the insurgent
leader, that on Monday they expect
ed to vote for Senator Howell, re
publican, Nebraska, for the inter
state commerce committee chairman
ship.
The announcement, which was is
sued by Senator Norris, republican.
Nebraska, said that if Senator Cou
zc-ns. republican. Michigan, was more
satisfactory to other republican sen
ators than Senator Howell the insur
gents would "be glad to unite on
him."
Republican leaders said Senator
Cummins, republican, Iowa, had been
endorsed for the chairmanship by a
regular party conference and that
they would continue to vote for him
until the conference had formally de
cided on some other senator.
Norris Proposes Howell.
With the Insurgents supporting
Senator Howell, the situation Monday
would be exactly as it was during
the three days of balloting earlier

either 4n the senate or on the com

"Our contention is that the au:h -r
and principal defender of the Erj

of the committee that will have con

or amend It.”
"In order to break the deadlock,

1 (infer With Democrats in House
For a time today it appeared proh
ahl« that a coalition would be formed
between house insurgents and demo
crats to displace two republicans se
lected for membership on the rules
committee and to elect as members
an additional democrat and one in
surgent. Conferences were held
throughout the day between mem
bers of the various factions, after
which republican organisation and
democratic leaders said an agreement
might lie reached whereby the mi
nority would lie given an additional
•eat. making the committee member
ship seven republicans and five demo
crats.
This is the rstio democrats Insist ed
upon when congress convened with
the republican majority in the hou*e
greatly reduced. The republican com
mittee on committees however. d»
tied that the apportionment whi<h
prevailed in the K?lh congress should
continue and the revolt today on the
part of the democrats largely was the
result of this action.
Unable to muster a majority when
the question of approving the com
mittee peraonnel comes up in tl »
house, u number of democrats pro
posed that an alliance be formed w .th
the insurgents, a proposal that was
weloomed by the latter, who suggest
