POST OFFICE
 BUREAU GOES
 TO NEW HAVEN

The removal of the central post of- fee accounting and postal savings dep pository office, which was ordered transferred to New Haven some time ago, will take effect October 1. This office was established in Bridgeport over 14 years ago. It will mean that quite little money out of the banks here will be deposited in the New Ha- ven banks and also means the chang ing of nine clerks but these clerks will be put in other positions.
 The money received by this depart ment has reached as high as $19,O0O,- 900 when the sale of Treasury savings certificates was running high. Pro- test against the removal was made by Postmaster Greene to Congressman Mr. Merritt that there was ample available space at Bridgeport to ac- commodate the accounting office. Postal inspectors were sent ont to look over the space but found much more space could be had in the New Haven post office and ordered it transferred.
 Plenty of available space was shown the inspectors on their arrival vestigation started but owing to the space being on different floors thought it best to have the office on one floor, and New Haven being a new building with plenty of space and elevator service, they thought would be more convenient. Postmaster Greene and other officials tried hard to hold this office here and it was thought Tor a time it would remain but the last in Spection told the story and it was seen there was no hope in holding it here

CANADIAN R. R. RULING IS BLOW
 TO B0OTLECCINC

Buffalo, N. T., Sept. 23-Smuggling and bootlegging are not what they used to be. One regulation after another has been added by the Cana dian and United States governments until it is really no longer safe to pedd1e Canadian liquor along the bor- der. The price of contraband, too. is at low level and the big profits of former days are no longer In sight.
 Two new regulations, one Am erican the other Canadian. have added to the smuggler-bootlegg troubles. The Canadian national railways, ac- cording to information received here will hereafter refuse to transport ale or liquor to places that are not bona fide export points.

DRY NAVY SAIL SEAS FOR BOOZE
Federal Order, Effective Today, Calls for Seiz- ure of All Liq uo r Aboard Ships in 12- Mile Limit Goa S t Guards May Be Press ed into Service.

Washington, Sept. 23-Raids upon all ships of foreign registery suspect ed of having illegal liquor stocks | aboard within the 12 mile limit were missioner Haynes. The order means a more ambitious attempt than ever before attempted to clear American waters of smugglerS.
 The prohibition navy has been promised additional support from the coast guard.
 On all prohibition boats a customs officer will be aboard as executive of ficer. Haynes said that while provi- sions of the Volstead act do not war rant searches by phobihition enforce ment agents outside the three mile zone, the customs laws are sufficient ly broad to accomplish the same ob- ject, as long a customs official is present to demand the manifests of foreign ships.
 British Opposition.
 The new campaign ordered by Haynes probably will increase the mum Der of cases of seIzure, the right of which is disputed by the British government and other foreign powers The British are taking the lead in op- posing the present course of the American government. Thus far Am bassador Geddes has refused to ad- init that anything in international law iustifies the seizure fo vessels flying the British flag by this governments prohibition agents outside the three mile zone.
 Commissioner Haynes claimed to- day that the activity of his forces against the illicit liquor importers had reduced smuggling about 66 per cent. in the last year. He said he is willing to take the chances of fur ther controversy with foreign powers, feeling satisfied that the American law is broad enough to warrant the course adopted. He said, however, that pro- hbiition agents generally, are satisfied that an offense is being committed be- fore attempting seizure.
