SHIP LIQUOR FIGHT
IN HIGHEST COURT
Three Cases Growing Out of
Schooner Seizure Off At
Iantic City Filed.

Another ship liquor controversy
reached the Supreme Court yesterday.
Three cases growing out of the
seizure of the schooner Henry L.
Marshall and cargo of liquors off
Atlantic City were filed with the
court to contest the authority of the
government to seize liquor-laden
vessels outside the three-mile limit
on the charge of having violated
customs laws by selling. liquor to
persons in small boats.
When the schooner was seized by
the revenue cutter Seneca off At
lantic City it was taken into New
York, where the federal courts or
dered it's confiscation together with
it's cargo on the charge that it had
violated the customs laws by remov-
ing a part of it's cargo within twelve
miles of shore,
Huge Liquor Cargo.
The schooner cleared from West
=. y IS
End, Brand Bahamas. with a cargo
of $500 cases of intoxicating liquor.
1t took out two sets of clearance
papers,, one representing that the
vessel was proceeding in ballast for
Gloucester, Mass, and the other that
it was bound for Halifax, Nova
Scotia. with a cargo of liquor. OF
Atlantic City ESQ cases of liquors, a
part of the cargo, was sold to persons
in small boats, and the schooner had
aboard at the time it was received
1850 cases.
The three cases were brought
against the government by Algional
H. Rae, as the owner of the liquor
and Charles E. Albury, as the owner
of the schooner.
In prosecuting the cases the gov
ernment contended in the lower
courts that the schooner had violated
the customs laws by removing part
of her cargo within four leagues OF
the coast line without having a per-
NIT and not being in distress. The
owners of the vessel and the cargo
claim in their application for an ap-
peal that the schooner was about
nine miles off Atlantic City when
seized and that 1t was outside the
Jurisdiction of the United States
which extends only three miles, under
the Supreme Courts Interpretation
of the prohibition amendment.
The small boats in which the liquor
was taken ashore were not in any
way, they contend, connected with OF
operated by the schooner and were
not used by it in establishing con-
tact with the shore.

IMPERIAL GROWER
SHARES in HIGH
PRICES FOR LAMBS

j. X. Spiers of Imperial, accord
ing to telegraphic reports from Kan
sas City today, shares in large
measure in the topnotch prices
brought by Imperial Valley lambs
on the eastern market.
That valley lambs are in great
demand and bring good figures is
shown by the report that 1919
lambs from this section sold in the
eastern city today at $l7 per hun
dred.
OF this number 562 were consign-
ed by Mr.. Spiers, and 757 were con
signed by the Ogden State Bank
The lambs averaged SO pounds each
and sold straight.
The highest prices were brought
by native lambs, shipped from Cal
ipatria, and brought $l7.10 per
hundred.
That the cattle and live stock in
dustry in Imperial Valley is one of
the most important and lucrative
is becoming more and more evident,
and in a, few years bids fair to out
strip many other industries.
Every winter thousands of cattle
and sheep are brought from the colo
northwest to winter and fatten in
the grain fields of the valley, and it
is said they are ready for market
weeks earlier than those from other
sections, and bring better prices.

changed rapidly thereafter for the
prices which began high, rapidly
mounted.

went as high as $6,400.
