on an indictment returned by the Grand
Jury for criminal libel. The complain
ant is Edward L. Doheny, president of
the Mexican Petroleum Company. Ltd.

Mr.. Doheny appeared before the Grand
Jury a few days ago and offered copies
of the market letter in support of his
contention that Moore was making a
destructive and libellous attack on the
petroleum securities.
The indictment against Moore is said
to have followed an investigation which
the Mexican Petroleum interests began
ten days or more ago. following the
abrupt break in the price of the stock
from around $50 to 103. Yesterday the
shares broke very badly, dropping from
112H to 9SL. the lowest at which they
have sold in three years.

The cost of upkeep for an efficient

abandoned a programme, tentatively
mapped out, for sea patrol to perform

lem that is admittedly battling.
Three -Mile-Iimit Traffic
Liquor ships have legal right to
bring liquor stocks close up to the
three-mile limit off American shores
They connot be stopped or questioned,
as long as they do not enter American
ports. Large schooners now are being
used by bootleg combinations for this
purpose. Bootleg promoters maintain
fleets .of the speediest motor boats,
built to transport heavy loads. These
motor-boat fleets are darting nightly
out from the Atalantic coast to the po-
sition Of their liquor sources an
chored at sea to take in loads and
race with them into unfrequented in
lets, there to be met by truck cara
vans to transport the wet stores in
land The big difficulty is in detecting
and catching these motor boat fleets
While actual operations are in prog
ress. Their methods are extremely
clever. They know the points along
The coast that are carefully watched
by the Coast Guard. They select as a
base of operations points and times
for action where opposition from that
source is improbable.
Prohibition officials know these
tricks of the bootleg importers. but
confess themselves powerless. Occa-
sional detection of liquor ship is re-
ported by Customs or Coast Guard
authorities. But these detections are
Isolated and exceptional. They reveal
no reliable safeguard against the
continued heavy flow of foreign
liquors for the American market, pos
