BOOZE SMUGCLERS
REAPING FORTUNES

New York, July 2O-Federal
authorities along the Atlantic
coast redoubled their vigilance
over tramp ships today following
disclosure OF evidence indicating
the existence of at least two gi-
gantic international whisky snug
Cling rings, one having head
quarters in this city and one in
Atlantic City.
Aid OF the Navy Department
also was being sought i'll an ef-
fort to build up a rum-hunting
fleet capable of coping with the
mysterious ships and their allied
fishing smacks which are alleged
to have landed hundreds of thous
ands OF dollars worth of contra
band liquor at secluded points I'm
der cover Of darkness.
According to Leroy w Ross
United States District Attorney
of Brooklyn, foreign and domes-
tic capital aggregating several
million dollars is behind the whis-
Ky smuggling conspiracy.

by revenue boats off Montauk
Point, toward which, authorities
We're tipped, a large vessel was
bound from the Bahama Islands
with cargo of $4,000 to 200
cases of choice Scotch and Irish
whisky. The conspirators learn
ing that word of the sailing hao
reached the federal officials, were
reported trying frantically to g.
in touch with the whisky runner
to direct her to another point less
carefully watched.
A tramp steamer cruIsed sauci
ly outside the mile limit
Atlantic City yesterday, accord
ing to reports received here. and
taunted federal agents by break
ing out pennants saying, Lay
down your money and come and
get it, The tramp slipped away
a night fell, and it was thought
she was heading for some desert
ed point where fishing vessels
could work unhampered at the
task of lightering, her cargo
ashore \ three-masted schooner
suspected of being a rum ship
also was reported off Atlantic
City.
Fishermen along the coast, ac-
cording to Mr.. Ross, are reaping
a rich harvest running the for
bidden cargoes ashore. They
Wort almost entirely at night, he
said, making landings at points
known to be free from surveil-
ance. Their compensation is said
to be SIS for every case of whis-
ky landed, and many of the fish
ermen are declared to have abalrd
oned entirelyl their regular trips
to the fishing banks in favor OF
the more lucrative smuggling.
The smugglers are met on shore
by automobile truckmen, who
whisk the cargoes away to secret
storehouses-
Efforts of federal agents to
check whisky running along the
coast have led so far TO seizure of
two vessels.
