The investigation, in charge of United States special Jhise of rum-running on the bor- er, it was sald, and has involved in Canada as well as the States. One of the most brilliant bits of work in connection with it has been that of a young Treasury agent, who entered the border - trol itself and worked hand-in- glove with the persons under sus- picion, accepting bribes with them, and arranged with them to allow "right" runners free access to'the river and safe crossings om speci~ fied nights, Ome month's '"'tak- ings" for one man alone, this op- erative sald, was approximately $1,700, and he slapped this amount in twenties, fifties and hundreds on the desk of his chief, to prove his assertion. 188,000 LETTERS : IN ONE AIR MAIL Buffalo, Dec, 1. -- The largest single consignment of air mail sent out in the East was carried from here this week when Colonial West ern Airways planes left with 188, 000 letters from East Aurora, The letters weighed approximately a ton and a half, and 1,826 pounds went west from Buffalo to Cleve- land, and the remaining 1,182 com- ing east to Albany, It was necessary for Joseph Menth, assistant super- intendent of the eastern section of the United States postal depart- ment to come to Hast Aurora to take charge of the postal force Walkerton, Dec. 1.--Legal opin- Bruce, that the vote taken Monday rds oe a ho th ove melon, 1 a two illegal.

William Phillips, its Minister Plenipotentiary at Ottawa, the United tates is seeking a radical revision of the treaty signed with Canada in 1924 designing to. curb smuggling, and particularly border rum-running. . The United States desires to have incorporated. in the reveside treaty a provision similar to that its eement with Cuba, which provides that clearance of shipments of mer- chandise by water, air or land, from either coyntry, shall be denied if the shipment comprises articles the im- portation of which is prohibited or restricted n the country to which it is destined, Present Trick Fails Continued prevalence of rum-run- ning across the border has caused this move to make the convention of 1924 more effective. The. treaty was otiated at that time between Sec- retary Hughes and Hon. Ernest La- pointe, and it is claimed that the agreement, then arrived at has failed to meet the rum-running si mn. The United States Government there- fore believes that the treaty's bar- riers against : 4 of liguor, can be rendered more effec- tive thr » an amendatory compact, US. ister Phillips at Ottawa has been carrying on conversations with the Capadian Ministry of Ex- terpal Affairs in connection with the treaty's revision, He also has to the Canadian the difficulties that have been en- countered by both countries in the administering of the smuggling laws.
