3-MILE LIMIT
NOT SAFE FOR
RUM RUNNERS

New York. Aug. 1S.-Seafaring
bootleggers soon will have a course in
admiralty law if they are to keep up
with the latest contention of revenue
officers-that the three-mile limit
doesn't hold where liquor smugglers
are involved.
This was the stand taken by United
States Attorney Hayward today when
the government filed three libels
against the schooner Henry l.. Mar
shall and her 1,400 cases of whiskey
after she had been seized outside the
three-inle limit off Atlantic City with
the British flag at her masthead

Canadian Liquor
Smugglers Rushing
Beer into Michigan

Windsor, Ont, Aug. 13-Canadian
rum runners seemed 10 be trying to
establish record today after word
was received here that Michigan
state police, armed with rifles. had
been modified to prevent them land
ing liquor manufactured in Ontario.
Beer was hauled to the docks in
both Sandwich and Walkerville.
truckload after truckload, and il was
estimated by waterfront observers
that nearly u dozen boats had pulled
out every hour since 5 o'clock this
morning.
The hustle along the docks con-
tinued even when unconfirmed re-
ports were received that Michigan
staote police, embarking in three
high powered motorboats, had run
two liquor laden craft ashore near
Acrose. and seized the cargos.
At the present moment it is re-
ported the smugglers are concentrat-
ing on nine per cent beer. Ship
ment of whisky from Waterloo in
wholesale lots is scheduled to begin
next Monday.
Reports were current today that
not only had beer been shipped this
week TO Detroit by water. but that
more than a dozen carloads, camou-
tagged as hay, had entered that city
by rail
Reasonably fast motorboats are
the craft most used in the LIQUOR
traffic. but rowboats are occasional
ly pressed into service.
Canadian authorizes contend that
they are powerless to prevent the
flow of liquor into the United State
as 1t is up to that country to enforce
its own laws.
