 Last year liquor seized at Point Campbell and later destroyed here, dwindled so that only about half the amount seized was destroyed here. In other instances shipments seized dis appeared.
 While it is known that some ship ments have been tempered with on the way north, it is charged that the big best "leak" occurs after the goods are seized at Anchorage It has been re- ported here on good authority that cases of the liquor seized from the Schooner Lucy a few weeSk ago have already been sold in Anchorage, find- ing a way through some mysterious channel from the warehouse where stored by the deputy marshal into the hands of purchasers.

Many complaints have been re ceived by the steamship companies this year concerning shipments of h. uuor, which turned to water, bricks, or some other substance, en route from the Outside, but the most extensive ''transformation" yet noted has just been reported by the marshals office at Anchorage.
 U. S. Deputy Marshal Mossman shipped eighteen cases of whiskey and two barresl of beer from Anchorage to San Francisco to be used as eyi- dence in a case where false labeling% and "falSe manifest" was charged against the consignor.
 Some time between the seizure of these packages at Anchorage and the time they arrived at Seattle after be- ing stored for time at Anchorage, transferred to the dock and shipped aboard the MaripoSa, the liquor was removed and other articles substituted.
 That all was not right with the shipment was discovered when the shipment was transferred from the MaripoSa at Seattle and the following report was made by C. M. Blain, freight clerk of the MaripoSa.
 Shipped to MoSSman, San Francisco.
 Eighteen cases said to contain whiskey and two barrels said to con- tain beer. These cases were exam ined by J. c. Harris, T. A. Love, C. M. Blain and c. L. Winter, with the driver of the transfer company and found to contain the following:

fers of the other two companies to

At the Newport News plant it is
estimated that the battleship Mssis-

plctcd by midsummer instead Of JAN

tract. The keel of one of the four
new battleships recently contracted

they have .Jntracts, setting aside 9TH
