FAIL TO
STEM TIDE OF
RUM INVASION
Canadian Runners Employ
Swift Launches to Bring
Wet Goods to L. S.

DETROIT, Aug 13--Canadian rum
runners today aptly succeeded in eluding
prohibition enforcement agents after
working throughout the night to bring,
hundreds Of gallons of liquor across tha
border.
Free from the interference of Canadian
officials, the run-runners piled back ana
forth across the river in launches and
other craft and prohibition agents were
without sufficient forces to deal with the
invasion.
The Canadian liquor was freed by
decision of Canadian courts that custom
agents Of the Dominion had no right to
interfere with shipments Of liquor into
the United States.
The decision was followed by a rush
for clearance papers for the liquor.
United States prohibition officials de-
clsTed that reports of the amount of
liquor brought in was exaggerated but
it is known that the dock and shore on
the @}nadian side showed stores which
had en- partly depleted.
Sta and Federal authorities to-
gether said they had collected an army
OF seventy five agents to meet the rum
invasion. Those who watched the OPP
Grafton of the rum runners declared the
army Of seventy-five had dwindled to
two agents who were on a tour Of in-s
spection and that they caught none of the.
runners.
