PIRATE MYSTERY
BELIEVED CLEARED
Strange Ships Declared to
Be Those of Whisky "BIock-
ade Runners"
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press
ATLANTIC CITY, N. j.. July 1S.-
Pirate yarns and reports Of mysterious
ships seen lurking along the trade
lanes of the North Atlantic may be
ade runners" that have been landing
cargoes of contraband liquor on the
Jersey coast, in the opinion Of revenue
agents in this district.
In maritime circles stories have been
told of strange vessels approaching
merchantmen on the open seas, as
though prepared to attack. and then
dashing off into the darkness without
observing the inviolabIe rule Of an
swering code signals. 1t was even
suggested that these specterlike craft
might. be able to explain the disap-
pearance of certain vessels.
whisky seized.
What revenue agents believe to be
the explanation of such unusual
actions on the high seas was brought
about through the seizure of whisky
valued at $50, 900 which Is said to have
been landed along cove near Wild
wood. N. j., from an alleged mystery
ship"
Several days before the liquor was
discovered and confiscated an uniden-
tiged steamer was seen maneuvering
just outside the three-mile limit off
Wildwood Revenue cutters were
sent to watch it. The vessel disap-
peared, but not before, officials think.
1t had discharged cargo Of whisky.
Prohibition officers declared today
they are confident smuggling of in
toxicants on this coast is being con-
Quoted on a tremendous scale. Car
goes worth vast fortunes are believed
to have been brought from foreign
countries, transferred to small boats
at night and cached in unfrequented
spots.
Transferred Mt Sea.
1t is thought probable that the
blockade runners also have trans
ferred their illegal cargoes to ves-
sells bearing authoritative clearance
papers. This, the officers say, would
account for the strange actions of the
mystery ships" Their explanation
'The captain Of the liquor laden
vessel is instructed to meet another
vessel, bound for an American port,
at given point along the coast and
transfer his liquor, which can then be
landed with legitimate cargo. When
the runner reaches the rendezvous
it approaches various vessels, and
failing to get the proper signal, hur-
riss OF to prevent discovery"

posed Violation of Con-
fidentiaI Information.

tor of the trading section of the in
come tax bureau, and George W.

pert on income matters. were indicted
today by the federal grand jury on

ury Department to audit and deter
mine the correctness of returns by

the law it was also his duty to pre-
serve and keep inyiolate such returns
and all information gained by him and
not to divulge or publish such infor-
nation in any manner save as stated
in the law and regulations.
Conspiracy Charged.
Sutton. it is stated, held himself
out as an expert in income tax mat
ters, and November Is last, 1t is al
legged, conspired with Sorrells to di-
vulge to him the names and addresses
of persons who had paid excess taxes
and to whom a rebate was due. The
Indictment charges that Sutton. with
the information so obtained, went to
Baltimore November 20 last, and con-
ferred with the Wagner Bros. Com
pany and secured employment to OH
tain a rebate of tax for the corpora
tion.
Henry G. Weston, former chief of
the personal service section of the
