Women Take Part
In Rum-Running
At 'Atlantic Port*
NORFOLK, Va., Sept. 10.?Women
are now taking part In rum-running
and whisky-making activities
here. This includes wives,
daughters of the ship captains and
still operators.
However the part they take is
not one which renders them liable
to exposure, since they stay In the
background, and It is seldom that
the feminine end of the work reaches
the ears of prohibition officials.
One women is known to be on a
rumship which is running whisky
from the Bahamas to some port
along the Atlantic Coast. After the
cargo is gotten aboard she is usually
put in charge of It since a
woman can keep the crew sober
better than men. When the shtp
reaches port she comes ashore, locates
the prohibition officers, and
if the cargo is being expected by
them she warns the rum-runners.

COUNTY PRIMARIES
-L
Carries Democratic Vote
By Majorities of 393
, To 1,200.
RIGGS RETAINS SEAT
His Stand for Increased
School Funds Apparently
Indorsed.
ROCKVILLE, Md., 8ept. 10.?By
majorities ranging trmn 393 to nearly
1.300. all the candidates on the
so-called harmony or organisation
slate, that Is those supported by
the leaders of what were formerly
the Lee and Peter factions of the
party, won out at yesterday'*
Democratlo primary election in this
county.
They carried Laytensvllle. Bethesda
and Wheaton districts by heavy
majorities, and most of the organisation
candidates came out ahead
In Poolesvllle, RockvlUe, Colesvllle.
Gaithersburg snd Barnesville districts.
The antl-organisation forces
hsd the better of It in Clsrksburg,
Darnestown. Olney, Potomac and
Damascus districts. About 5,500
votes, or approximately 65 per cent
of the total, registered Democratic
votes, were polled. Many women
In all psrts of the county failed to
vote.

George L. Edmonds. Charles G.
Griffith. Carson Ward and P. Hicks
Ray, for the house of delegates:
Samuel Riggs, Robert L. Hickerson
and Lacey Shaw, for county commissioners,
and Alvie A. Moxley. for
sheriff, were the successful candidates.
The contest between Samuel
Riggs. ipcumbent. and Lewis W.
Barnsley. for the nomination for
county commissioner from the First
district, attracted the most interest.
because, as a member of the
board of county commissioners, he
recently voted In favor^of increased
appropriations for public schools,
which resulted in a substantial Increase
In the county tax rate. Riggs
was fought bitterly, especially In
the central snd upptr sections of
the county, but his home district
of Laytonsvllle. and Bethesda and
Wheaton districts stood by h?m
loyally and furnished more tnan
enough votes to overcome the adverse
vote in the rest of the county.
His majority was 585.
The election was the culmination
of a bitter campaign, marked by
more than the usual amount of
mud-slinging. The result was another
triumph for E. Brooke Lee.
who led the successful forces, and
acyanother demonstration of his
supremacy In the Democratic politics
of the county.
How the Vote Stood.
