BOOZE EMBARGO ORDERS LIFTED
 BY DEPARTMENT
l an SD or tation of Liquor Across American Territory
 to Canada Granted.

The Collector of Customs today re ceived directions by. wire from the Treasury Department to permit the transportatio of intoxicating liquor through Alaska waters and across American territory in the North il bond from one Canadian point to an other. This traffic was stopped July 15, in accordance with a letter date July 8, which directed that such transportation be prohibited unless the liquor so shipped was accomDaa jed with prohibition permit
 The telegram to the Collector O. Customs says that two cases are pending in the Supreme Court to test the order heretofore issued, di- recting that the shipment of intoxi- eating liquors from one foreign port to another through the United States be prohibited unless the goods shipned are accompanied by pro hibition permit. Pending decision on one of these, cases the Collector of Customs is directed to suspend ac' tion under the former order and to  permit the shipment of liquors in bond from Canadian ports to the South to points in Yukon Territory and Northern British Columbia.
 It is said that many shipments of liquor from Vancouver to White horse, Dawson, Atlin and other points have been held up since July 15 at Vancouver and Victoria on account of the refusal of the American GUS toms to permit their shipment through Alaskan waters and over the White Pass Railroad in bond un- less the prohibition permit were first secured. The rrohibition officers of Washington and Alaska have refused to issue permits for such transpor- tation because the Volstead act pro- vides that these permits may be is, sued only when the liquor to be transported was not intended for beverage purposes.
