Rum Runners Establish Almost Perfect System of Espionage
WASHINGTON, April 11 — Rum runners have established an almost perfect espionage system along the New Jersey and New England coasts.
Their intelligence service has handcapped the coast guard's activities.
The rum informers are made up largely of shore residents. When they see a coast guard vessel put out to sea, they immediately telephone "rum headquarters somewhere in York" which sounds them by telephone and radio.
When a prowling coast craft pokes its nays where shore bases are located, spies quickly penetrate by the smugglers have spies on coast guard vessels such spies have heard jail sentences.

NEW CABINET SIMILAR TO HERRIOTT'S
PARIS, April 11.—France it appears, is to have another cabinet largely of Herriot persuasion.
As President Doumergue today pursued his conference in order to effect a quick solution of the parliamentary tangle growing out of Herriot's defeat and resignation yesterday, the conviction grew that the new government will be dominated by the left groups.
Leaders of both the right and left elements agreed, after conferring with the President, that such a course appeared to be the beat.
"I expect a solution quickly and it is my belief a cabinet will be formed of members of the majority in the chamber (left group) and possibly some outsiders," said Deputy Czals, head of the Radical Socialists in the chamber, after leaving Elysee Palace.

LOOKS LIKE OPEN RACE TO HEYDLER
NEW YORK, April 11.—"New York is being picked generally to win another championship, but it looks to me like an open race," John A. Heydler, president of the National League, said today.
"The Giants have a strong club and perhaps they deserve to be picked as the favorite, but I think there will be strong opposition from several clubs and in a tight race most anything can happen," he said.
"New York's chances for another record in winning five consecutive championships depend largely upon the ability of the pitching staff to hold up through a long hard season. The team other state's attorneys left this afternoon for Crown Point to demand the five bodies be exhumed."
Mrs. Cunningham, after being questioned by Chicago authorities, is to be returned here for investigation.
A sixth victim of the mysterious illnesses Mrs. Cunningham's last surviving son, David, is near death in a Chicago hospital, of arsenic poisoning, say doctors. Three brothers, a sister and his father have died.
