Eight saloons and one garage we're

twenty-foot, old-fashoned saloon lar
was found.
Agents also followed an ambulance

turbing a weakened woman patient who
was being taken to a hospital.
The eight saloons and the garage
were visited by Agents Kerrigan and
Stafford Those who stopped 'and
searched the ambulance have not been
identified, and it is thought possible at
prohibition headquarters that they
were bogus agents who hoped to en-
rich themselves with a load of ,iquo

cealed by two big and antquated
trucks.
Higgins, it is charged, refused to ac-

Run, Fleet Nocss Dry Cruiser
Al Rendezvous Outside Limit
One Skipper With $lz5, 200 Cargo of Scotch
Offers Hospitality TO Raiders Under Pro-
lection of the British Flag

On the rum banks. which skirt the
coast of New York and New Jersey,
beyond the twelve-mile limit, the tryst-
ing place of mother rum runners and
their young, the fast motor boats, Cap
tain George Y. Tawes, of the prohibi-
tion flagship Hahn, encountered a
whole feet of suspected smuggling
craft early yesterday.
Some of the alleged rum runners
met Captain Tawes with all the cour-
tesy of the high seas. and his report
of his adventures reads like clip
ping from society column.
AT least one shipmaster offered to
dine and to wine the dry skipper and
showed him about the ship and per-
mitted him to inspect large cargo of
the best liquor the Bahamas has to
offer. Captain Tawes would not be
wined neither would, he be dined, but
he did inspect, it is inferred, with
buiging eyes. Having no dry powers
outside the twelve-mile limit, Captain
Tawes was left with nothing TO do but
report, which he did. The report was
duly received and recorded by John D.
Appleby, chief zone prohibition agent
and master mind of the prohibition
navy.
A Cargo of Scotch
Captain Tawes's report said he
boarded several boats Most interest
ing among these was the Tacoma,

LONDON, Sept. 2s.-The British

ain. This much was learned unoffici-

1t is probable, however, that re-

American Embassy here for informa-
tion as to the procedure of the pro
hibition navy" and the authority un-
der which it is acting. Since neither
the ship owners nor the Dominion gov
ernments have registered complaints
with the British Foreign Office, the
London government has no official
knowledge of the seizures, hence it
will proceed slowly.
During the last week much progress
has been made on instructions to
authorities in the Bananas and at Ber-
muGa to tighten shipping regulations
so that false registry may be prevented
and the issuance of fraudulent clear
ance papers stopped.
In general, the British attitude is 3
