WATCH SHIPS FOR BOOZE
COMING INTO THIS PORT

Perth Amboy and Atlantic City
have received considerable promi-
hence in the liquor probe now being
carried on by the federal grand jury,
as many of the conditions said to
exist in this state, are alleged to
center in or around these two cities.
1t Is a hat some of the most val
liable discoveries made by the Depart
ment of Justice operatives, have been
centered around Perth Amboy and
Atlantic City. Large shipments of
liquor alleged to have been received
in defiance not only of the prohibit
ton but Of the customs laws are
said to have been traced by the de-
partment agents. Considerable at
tention has been given to reports of
the arrival at Perth Amboy and At
lantic City of booze laden ships from
the West Indies. especially those from
the famed Island of Bimini.
A local investigation. concerning
the alleged arrival OF ships laden
with booze in this port showed that
nothing could be found, which would
lead one to think that booze is be-
ing received in this port as alleged.
1t was learned that the local Gus
TOMS inspectors r on the watch
constantly for liquor that sailors
might attempt to smuggle into the
port.
1t was learned, however, that dur
ing the past few months ships con-
tanning liquor have anchored off
Sandy Hook, outside of the three
mile limit and discharged their car
goes to tugs and fishing boats that
have gone out from the coast.

var $40. a local Hungarian. news
paper will be argued before Vice
Chancellor John f. Foster sitting In
Long Branch next Friday. The in
junction is asked for by Martin De-
Puky.. publisher of the Perth AM
boy $50.
During the first part of the year,
Martin DePuky and Adalbert Pog-
any formed a partnership, whereby
they were to publish a Hungarian
paper to be known as the Perth AM
boy Magyar $50. After four issues
had been printed and distributed.
Pogany withdrew from the partner
ship and started the Magyar $50. 1t

mentioned firm he took with him
customers, contracts and other goods
belonging to the Perth Amboy Mag
var $50.

of chancery for an injunction, al
leging that Pogany had no right to
the name and that the partnership
did not give him the per-
mission to start another paper.
DePuky is represented by United
