 in Florida

Washington, March 2o.--Immnent arrest of number of individuals, some of them prominent in Florida commercial circles, was indicated in reports from Col. l.. G. Mutt in charge of the campaign at Miami against H. quor smuggling, Commissioner Haines said today.
 The liquor dealers Col Mutt de- cared contracted without hesitation to get any required amount of liquor within "A hours and deliver 1t where- ever the purchaser desired lat your hotel, the courthouse of at the post office"
 "'We will delived it at the railway station if you wish it shipped" the re- port to Commissioner Haines quoted the local dealers as offering, "'and will attend to placing it in cars and will buy the necessary grapefruit or tomatoes to cover 1t up."
 More than dozen of our investi- gators" Col. Mutt said, "on the first days operation reported propositions of the above character and in two instances negotiations were closed, with the aid of bankers all of which will be revealed shortly in court pro- cedure.
 Our investigators discovered that many of the operators owned their own smuggling ships, would make night voyages to point near Nassau Bimini of Gun Key, meet a schooner laden with liquor make purchases at the average price of SIS per case, TO- turn the next night and receive double the price from their purchasers, also make snug profit on the fruit and vegetables far packing. They would explain that by diluting the consign- ment could be doubled and even tre- bled in quantity and sold up north for at least $100 a case.
 "All of this our investigators more than verified and continued for more than a week to carry on negotiations for big and little shipments without the slightest trouble Our men saw the smuggling vessels go north, saw them return, well laden with liquor and in one instance witnessed a flying boat used for the purpose. They had no trouble in having permanent banks act as trustees for purchase funds, even after explaining that 1t was liquor deal"
