BIMINI FAILING
AS PORTOF RUM
Bootleggers' Paradise Seems to
Be Down and Out
Kaesau, Bahamas, Aug. 4 lP)
Elmlnl Island, which roso to wraith
and famo when prohililtion in the
United States caused it to Income
the bootleggers' paradist, is down
and out. The last care of the 11ti:
quantity of American rye whiskey
which was exported from Ameiican
shores to Rimini and placed in bond
there, has 'seen withdrawn to find lis
way back Into th L'nlted States via
turn row, and after years of plenty
many Wminians face poverty.
"I regret to put on record as the
year closes that the prospects at
Blmlni are very gloomy Indeed and
only a miracle can revive this port,"
wrltea Commissioner W. T. Clt-are ol
Blmlni In his report to the colonial
government. "For the past four
years Bimlnl has been to the front
owing to the face that large quanti
ties of liquor were bonded and dis
posed of at this port and that it
was to some extent patronized by
tourists.
"The last case of whiskey has
been taken out ot bond and the
tourists do not come. The hotel has
proved a white elephant and the
port of North Blmlni is practically
dead to all commerce or industries.
The glory of Blmlni has departed.
As It was 25 years ago so It is today
and even worse along some lines.
The people for the past five years
have made easy dollars and now that
the situation has developed when a
dollar must be really worked for it
appears to some to be hard lines.
The population of Blmlni Is about
800. These people do not care about
work and the situation is depressing
and hopeless. For several years,
owing to abnormal conditions the
American dollar has been easily
earned but this Is over and the
sooner the people realize this the
better it will be.
"The revenue for the coming year
from all appearances will be very
email. The revenue for 1324 all
practically from bonded liquors but
every case has been removed from
Elmlnl.

white beaches and excellent climate.

Commissioner.
Swampscott, Maw., Aug. 4 fP It
was reiterated today at the summer
White House that President Cool
idge understands that Hoy Haynes
will continue as prohibition rommis
sioner despite persistent reports that
he might resicn.
The president lias received no of
ficial information of any change In
enforcement policy curtailing Mr.
Haynes' powers. It is his under
standing that Mr. Haynes Is func
tioning as usual except that he is
immediately responsible to Assistant
secretary Andrews of the treasury
who has been placed in charge of
the government campaign against
prohibition law violators.
Mr. Coolidge, however, has taken
the position that administration of
the Volstead law is sow in the hands
of Mr. Andrews and he should be
given a free hand to make such
shifts In personnel and changes in
policy as he deems desirable.
It Is estimated that President
Coolidge shook hands with more

With the changes in the fashion j
of newspaper work, he survived, and I
his career linked t lie present with :

In recent years he was one of the

custom boarding cutter with the
health officers and proceeding down
the bay, visited each new arrival in

work continued for many hours.
His day was sunrise to sunset. He
always got the news and got it
right, lie was rarely, if ever im

and yarn-spinning sailors amused
him but left no lasting impression
on his journalistic mind.
He worked seven days a week
because, he refused to work less. A

wished to give him an assistant and ;
tried to suggest tactfully to him that j
