Apparatus for McGrath
and Bethel Stations
On Way North.
The equipment, for the new radio
station to be installed tit Bethel, also
that to replace and modernize the Mc
<1 rath station, comprises part of the
freight being brought up on the Good
rich, according to advices h. -ly re
ceived here.
Nothing is known as to how soon
work will be started on the station at,
Bethel. However, the fact that the
apparatus is being shipped at this early
date, taken in consideration with a re
quest, coming to Capt. George Green,
of the Tana, to bring with him a stick
of e.\t ra long dimensions to he used as
a mast for the new radio, would indi
cate that work upon the erection and
installation of the lower river station
might commence at an early date.
Whisky-Laden Scows.
New York.—Two scows full of bot
tled whisky of a brand popular in pre
Volstead days were seized Friday in
Westchester creek, off lTfih street,
and the seven tpen composing the crews
placed under arrest. Inspector George
Lie hers declared his belief that the
liquor had been smuggled on steam
ships from Cuba.
Three patrol wagons, working id
relays, transported the several thou
sand bottles in burlap bags to the
Westchester police station.
Trucks lumbering down to the wharf
at an early hour and an unusual num
ber tif lights on the scow aroused police
suspicions and led to the seizure.
Louis Gorman left Monday noon for
Bethel, going down in his new gas
boat.

Home Influence Pass
ing, Judge Declares!
Chicago.—“The. oid American home
! stead, with its interest in religion, was
! the finest and best factor in keeping
down crime this conn try ever lias
| known,” Judge Kiekham Scanlan, chief
i justice of the criminal court, said in an
address before i he Chicago Medical
Society, Thursday eight.
"Asan institution it is fast falling
into decay,” lie continued, “with a re
sultant increase in crime ”
Another reasou given by Judge j
Scanlan for the increase is crime is I
that “the American public is losing i
; faith in God.”
“in recent statistics,” he said, “it j
was revealed that during the question j
ing of men for the draft two out of j
every three boasted they did not attend ,
church. Such a statement is appal- |
ling.”
