U. S. to Seize Big Ships
To End Rum Running

Assistant United States District At
torney Pearse said yesterday, at At
lantic City. that many other important
arrests and seizures are to be made
IN the relentless drive being directed
by Federal agents against rum run
ners.
"The FIVE schooners that have been
seized," he said, will seem insignia
cant in comparison with future de-
veiopments. Our evidence traces
some Of the struggled liquors to car
goes of much larger vessels, which
will be seized when the evidence war
rants such action"
Joseph McDonough, Chief Deputy
United States Marshal, yesterday had
the seized schooner Henry L. Marshall
towed from St. George, S. l., to a
North River pier near Canal Street.
From this point the 1850 cases of
liquor aboard the vessel were removed
to a bonded warehouse at 534 Wash
ington Street. The liquor will remain
there, pending the final decision of the
Federal court as to its disposition.
Magistrate Francis x. McQuade, in
West Side Court yesterday, discharged
all defendants in prohibition law VIC
lation cases where evidence had been
obtained in manner held by the

DAILY Denies Policemen
Have to Sell Tickets
Says No Orders Issued; Men
Want 10 Dispose of Them;
Accr1ses Williams Minds,

John Daily, Second Deputy Police
Commissioner, vigorously denied yes
terday that he had Issued an order re-
quiring all patrolmen to dispose of at
least fifty tickets for the Police Field
Day Games, September 10 to IT, at the
Gravesend racetrack. He characterized
the attack on the method of disposing
OF the tickets az righteousness on the
part of persons who are always seek
ing to find fault with the Police De-
partment" No one, he said, has is
sued an order requiring each patrol
man to sell definite number of tick
cts.
Before the tickets were distributed
last Friday, DAILY, who is in charge of
the arrangements for the games, ex-
planned that all captains and inspectors
met in conference to discuss the stu
alton.
at was decided to give each captain
the same number of tickets as he had
been able to dispose of last year." the
man felt that his precinct could not
use as many tickets as it did last year
he had chance to speak. No one
spoke up and the tickets were dis
tributed
"The vicious minds which thought up
the tale that each patrolman was re-
quired to sell fifty tickets also are re-
sponsible for the circulation Of the
stories that traffic policemen are hold
ing up motorists and virtually forcing
them to buy tickets. have a car and
in driving about have seen no motorists
held up. | deny that the patrolmen re-
sent the ticket selling. They want to
do it and are glad to do it."

Canada Moves to
End Rum Running
Over N. Y. Border.
Orders All Shipments Along
Lake Champlain Seized
if Transported by Other
Than a Common Carrier

TORONTO, Aug. 15.-Canadian po-
lice and license officials along the
shores of Lake Champlain were in
structed by the Attorney Generals de-
partment tonight to seize all ship
ments of liquor that leave the Cana
dian shore by any other mode Of con-
veyance than public carrier. This
action was taken, it was explained, in
an effort to prevent the carnival of
rum running that has been under way
for several days, following a court
decision giving legal authority to ex-
port shipments.
While officials of the province recog-
nize that they cannot interfere with
bona fde shipments" as a result of
the courts decision, they take the po-
sition that surreptitious deliveries, not
made by common carriers, do not come
within that category. They point out
that American authorities can easily
deal with persons importing liquor by
common carrier without the legal right
to do SO.

Tomato Incident Enclosed

What the sentence will be in the
case OF Mrs. Madeline LIE Compile
Roose, wife Of copper broker, of 1os
Wolsey Street. Astoria, for throwing a
tomato into the yard of Miss Adele
Campbell. her neighbor, will not be
known until September 81. The delay
is due chiefly to the fact that William
Morris, attorney for Mrs. Roose, yes
terday told Magistrate Harry Miller
that he had newly discovered evidence.
Mr.. Morris insisted that woman
told him that while she was motoring
in Wolsey Street she saw an urchin
throw tomato which spread its lus-
cious contents upon the surface of her
automobile. This evidence, combined
with stories of other residents of VOL
sey Street that lad was in the habit
of hurting tomatoes, Mr.. Morris urged
was sufficient cause for postponement
Of sentence. Magistrate Miller agreed
with him.
