LIQUOR LADEN BOATS
ARE OFF U. S. COAST
Eight Schooners With S3,0OO,OOO In
Whisky To Flood Cities
With Booze.

New York. Nov. 2s. - Eight
schooners laden with liquor valued
at $4,000. 900 at bootlegger's prices
are standing off the New York and
New Jersey coast today waiting to
be unioaded by fleet blockade run
ners" which will try to land the con-
traband wet cargo despite the vigil
ance of the prohibition navy. This
is part Of $4,000, 900 shipments Of
liquors from Great Britain, the Ba-
hamas and Miquelon Island to salts
~ the American holiday trads."
The "bootleg syndicate" has begun
to resent the trickery of the whisky
agents In the Bahamas who were so
swamped with orders from the Unit
ed States that they began to substi-
tute fake whisky, brandy and wines
for the rsal stuff Orders are being
withdrawn from the Bahamas and
placed in Scotland.
Frank j. Hale Of the prohibition
enforcement department said that
agents of the Treasury Department
and the Department of Justice know
of the presence of the rum runners
off the New York and New Jersey
coasts but could do nothing until the
blockade runners" got inside the
three-mile limit and attempted to
slip by the patroling dry navy.
Mr.. Hale said that all the rum
runners were armed and were man
ned by crews as desperate as those
that sailed the Spanish Main In the
days of the buccaneers.
They would not hesitate to give
battle IL the dry navy attempted to
seize their cargoes on the high seas.

Fight GIN IRISH
BILL IS ENDl D
House OF Commons Passes
Measure On Second
Reading.

London. Nov. 27.-The House of
Commons tonight without division
passed the second reading of the
Irish constitution bill, after debate
in a single sitting without striking
incidents.
That 1t has failed to the lot of a
Conservative government to pilot
thru Parliament final legislative
sanction to measures granting Ire
land such complete autonomy is one
of the ironies of political fate. The
Conservative party for two genera
tions has stoutly resisted the grant
ing of self-government to Ireland in
even the mildest form, and no poll
teal question during that long period
has provoked anything like she bitter
animosities and conflicts in Parlia-
ment, on platforms and in the press
which accompanied the fight around
Irish home rule.
The fight apparently Is ended and
Parliament with a large Conservative
majority quietly accepts the prin-
ciple OF the new Irish constitution
without even challenging division.
This is all the more remarkable as
il was mainly the revolt of the die
hard" section of the Conservatives
against the coalition government for
setting up treaty with the Sim
Fein which led to the rebellion OF the
Conservatives against the LLOYD
George leadership, and so ovorthrew
the coalition government.
Antagonism to the constitution
bill hardly took a serious FORM Its
rejection was moved by newcomer
in Parliam mt, the Laborite, 5. SAX
latyala. who represents John Burns
old constituency, Battersea. He OPP
posed the bill on the ground that the
Irish treaty was therefore a greater
mockery than was the act of union.
