GIGANTIC WET PLOT
Barred IN NEW YORK
Conspirators Imported Liquors
and Shipped Back Water
Filled Barrels, Says Report.
BY Associated Press to Every Evening

By Associated Press to Every Evening.
New York, July 27.-The embargo
recently placed on liquor importations
by the government was attributed by
the New York Tribune today TO
successful plot by a huge bootleg
combine by which liquor warehouses
which had bulged with imported wines
and whisky now bulge with barrels
of water
Lack of convincing evidence alone"
says the newspaper. prevents the
government from officially revealing
one Of the biggest liquor scandals
since prohibition"
Bootleg rings. the article says. ARE
suspected Of having corrupted gov
ernment employees in various branches
of the revenue service in a successful
plot to divert millions of dollars worth
of liquor importations held in bonded
warehouses.
From August to the end of Decem-
ber last year S.. SOC, 900 worth of liquors
We're imported and stored in govern
ment warehouses. mostly along the
Atlantic Seaboard, and during the
| NMtlNt ulOllbIlS VI 4S@I liQuot Illl)Of-
tations, the story says, more than
double those of 1920. Since permits
to withdraw the liquors were neces-
sary, no alarm was felt over the in
coming tide of whisky and wine, but
the boOtleggers are alleged to have
waived the use of permits and de-
veloped the practice of watering their
visible stock.
Under the law If anybody wants to
import liquor, store it In ware
house. then change his mind and ex-
port the stuff back whence it came.
nobody has violated any section 4
the statutes intended to make the
country alcoholically arid, and if the
changing of wine or whisky to water
is carried cut, then the weaker fluid
is what goes back TO wet countries
while the stronger goes down the
throats of Americans, so the story
says.
