However, the au- thorities are taking nd chances Forces are being kept ready so they can. be rushed to the scene of pos- sible disturbances, and if necessary LOOT IS LOWERED FROM ELEVENTH FLOOR Janitor Was Innocenty Tipped a Dollar to Help Load Truck.

News of the robbery was not made public until Wednesday, although it was perpet- rated Tuesday morning. The burglars entered a building at 36 West Thirty-8ixth street by "Jimmying" a rear window. After climbing to the roof, they bridged the chasm to the building next door by means of a plank, and entered the store rooms of Vogel, White and Company, threugh a window. Ten large lrags, each weighing 200 pounds were swung from the window to the roof of a four storsy building ad- | joining. | At 9 o'clock in the morning a jan- {1jor, unaware of the heft, was '"'tip- ped" a dollar to help the two men i load the loot into a truck Prevent faction fights from develop- ; ing into something more serious.

Such a service would Materially cheapen transportation and would build up the industrial centres along the lakes. Another suggestion from Mr. Kee- fer was a service from Port Arthur to Cape Breton, the ships to carry grain out and coal back.

FANE WHSHEY 1S SELLING AT $140 CASEIN NY. Artificial Liquid From Canada Rushed Across Border in ~~ Motor Cars. Rouses Point, N.Y., May 21.--Pro- fessional international whiskey run- ners centering their activities in this part of the state, have received many setbacks during the last week due to increased activity by the United States Internal Revenue Bureau and raiding prohibition agents. Raids on hootch-running automobiles making the dash across the Canadian line at top speed have disclosed that much of the so-called "bonded" and "very old" whiskey is of poor quality, made overnight and touched up with arti- ficial coloring and flavoring matter. Much of this finds its way to New York City, the agents say, and is sold as the genuine article, "just off the ship." The average whiskey drinker readily is deceived, especially by the Scotch brands turned out by the boot- leggers' mills. The labels are per- fect copies of the originels, and caps, corks and bottles are of "the type used in the legitimate trade, but the contents usually is what thé agents call "overnight" whiskey. 'It is made by artists at their trade, and tastes enough like genuine distilled whis- key to "get by." Here ate the prices per case brought by the fraudulently-labelled whiskey as revealed by a bootlegger's notebook seized in a rafd: : * Johnhy Walker, $50; Gordin gin, $42; Haig and Haig, $63; White Hprse, $40; Mackenzie, $40; John Dewar's, $50; Cedar Brook, $50; Three Star Hennessy, $37; Imperial rye, $37, and John Dickens, $39 "This stuff sds in New York City at $140 a case and sometimes com- mands a higher price," said Harold B, Dobbs, internal revenue agent, with headquarters 'in Brooklyn, who has been directing 'the government's campaign. "There is very little of it coming across the line just now because all the roads are covered and the other ways of bringing it in are closely watched." RE ---- A Cars for Sunday.

Lowther Makes Presentation---Gov- erner-General's Speech. Ottawa, May 21.--With a full' at- tendance of members of the house and senate, and with the galleries thronged with a distinguished as- semblage, the unique ceremony was performed yesterday afternoon of presenting to the Canadian house of commons the speaker's new chair, a replica of that at Westminster. The presentation was made by former Speaker = Lowther, of the Britisa house of commons, on behalf of the Empire Parliamentary Association. Mr, Lowther arrived in the cham- ber at 2.30 o'clock, accompanied by His Excellency the Governor-General and staff, and was received wiih great applause. The ceremony was especially ur- nged as a preliminary to the meet- ing of the house, as constitutional etiquette precludes the attendance of the governor-general when the house is in session. The chair has the following ia: scription carved on its base: "Re- plica of the speaker's chair at the house of commons at Westminster, presented to 'he house of commous at Ottawa by the United Kingdom branch of the Empire Parliamentary Association, comprising members of both houses of parliament, as a fi' ting symbol of the great parliament. ary' tradition which binds together the free nations of the British com- monwealth, A.D., 1921." ---- Gavernor-General's Speech. The 'governor-general expressed his grateful thanks for arrangements that permitted him to be present. "As far as I know," he added, "neither in the letter or the spirit have any of the justly guarded tradi- tions of the house been encroachad upon and I may, I hope, take it ag a happy omen for the future that the cordial relaticns I have enjoyed will always exist between my successors in the distinguished office which I now rold and the members of the house. .
