Federal agents yesterday over co"-

schooner Henry l. Marshall. After
several hours tramping, in which they
met with innumerable mosquitoes but no
signs of booze the party returned and
announced that the rest of the swamps
would be searched later. Mr. Pearse
also got search warrants for several
dwellings in the meadow section.
