Coast Guard Cutters
on Trail Of Rum Craft

New York, Feb. 22.~- Increased
liquor smuggling has caused United
States coast guard cutters to be put
on the trail of all rum craft plying
between the Bahama island and Ca
nada,l Capt. Reed, commander of
the New York base, revealed, after
he had received radio stating that
a tug, with 1900 cases OF whisky
aboard had put into Portland, Me-,
for REPAIRS" s."
Federal officials, assert they have
determined beyond a doubt that a
vessel cannot profitably haul Canada
whisky to the Bahamas for sale, and
vice versa. They have come to look
with suspicion upon all such coast
wise traders--a nondescript fleet Of
tugs, schooners, converted yachts
and fishing craft-and to confiscate
their cargoes upon the slightest evil
dence that they are meant for Amer
ican consumption.
When such cargo leaves ST.
Johns, N. F., or Nassau, in the Ba-
liamas, word is flashed to every coast
guard station along the Atlantic. As
soon as the vessel crosses the Amer
ican three-mile limit, a coast guard
cutter trails it until it reaches port.

day, and the huge gathering OF dele
gates. impatient that any delay
might cndanger the treaty with
Great Britain, gave is unanimous
approval and adjourned for three
months.
The general feeling was that in
preserving intact the party organi-
zation something like a miracle had
been worked.
The ne, result OF the two DAYS
meeting OF the Ard Fheis is TO i'll
sure that no election can be held in
Ireland for the next three months,
and when il is held the issue will
not simply he for or against the
treaty but TO determine the juds-
mcnt OF the Irish people on the ac-
tual terms OF copsti,ution in which
the treaty will be embodied.
Supporters OF the free state have
contended throughout that the
treaty enables Ireland 10 frame for
itself constitution giving all the
essentials OF freedom, but the repub-
licans have denied this and have
quoted interpretations placed upon
the treaty in speeches by Prime
Minister Lloyd George and other
British cabinet ministers.
Want Points Cleared.
All the objections TO the agree
ment raised on the floor today,
after Eamonn dc Valera had an
nounced its terms. emanated from
prominent republicans and, despite
Mr.. De Nalcra's assurances that he
had carefully considered every
point and was quite satisfied will,
Arthur Griflith's emphatic declara-
ton that no election must be forced
upon the country during the coming
three months, the republicans de-
cided to hold meeting this evening
to insist upon clarifying certain
points they considered dubious.
The point OH which the repub-
l;cans particularly demanded assur-
ance was what the agreement meant
bv the free state constitution to be
submitted to the electorate. Was it
merely the constitution as drafted by
the provisional government on its
own Interpretation OF the treaty, or
was it to be final constitution
which the British government could
not alter?
Mr.. De Valera's estimate OF the
effect OF the agreement took the lat
ter view. However, the result was
regarded by leaders as showing there
could be no doubt that the rank and
file of both sides were overJoycd that
division had been avoided.
Elections Now Off.
The British governments hurry to
pass all act Of parliament supporting
the provisional government and to
provide il with an elected parliament
which would replace the Dali Eir-
reann and disestablish the Irish re-
public, has been rendered futile, it
was argued by those favorng the

tions could be held by British au-
thority has now been negatived by
both sides, it was argued.
