. ATLANTIC CITY, June 20:-Po-
lice magistrates, in which class is in
cluded city recorder Joseph A. Corio,
do not have the authority to sus-
pend or change a minimum sentence
imposed on motorists found guilty
of driving while intoxicated accord
ing to an Interpretation of the act
covering this offense delivered by
Attorney General McCran to State
Motor Vehicle Commissioner William
Dill.
Commissioner Dill said today:
I'm a decision given to this depart
ment by Attorney General McCran,
he ruled that the provisions of the
statute 7 mandatory on the mag
istrate hearing the case Hereunder
and If the magistrate finds the de-
PENDANT guilty and adjudges him to
be a disorderly person, the magis-
trate. must impose at least the mini
mum sentence provided for by the
statute and thereafter he has no
power to change that sentence by
suspension thereof"
The commissioner requested that
wide publicity be given this ruling
of the attorney general, stating, 81
does seem to me no magistrate ought
to be permitted to parole prisoners
after they are sentenced to 80 davs
and expect that his acts-clearly IL.

RIVAL BOTTLES GANGS
BATTLE ON FRONTIER

TORONTO, June 20:-Rival boot
Logging gangs are warning on the
Niagara frontier and both American
and Canadian officials charged with
enforcement of liquor laws have
been enabled to make numerous ar
rests on anonymous tips received
from the smugglers themselves.
Officials announced today that
bootleggers had fallen to robbing
one another, and that as a result
they now were ~'peaching."
In this connection, provincial au-
thorities learned that gangs of hard
ened criminals, who entered the
smuggling craft when prohibition
became effective, were preying on
bootleggers' caches at points along
the Niagara river and Lake Ontario.
Moreover, they have turned high
waymen, operating in swift motor
cars along lonely country roads and
holding UP liquor caravans. Then
they sell the rum they have stolen
and the original owners, fearful
themselves of being arrested for
bootlegging, seldom report the rob-
berries, except anonymously.

ABOARD SHIPS
HELD BY RUSSIA, CLAIM


NOME, Alaska, June 20 (By The
Associated Press).-Liquor aboard
for trafficking was a factor in the
detention of four American trading
s%chooners at East Cape, Siberia, by
the Russian Soviet government, ac-
cording to information received here
today. That the Blue Sea is held
in addition to three boats reported
yesterday was learned today.
In the opinion of the masters OF
two American trading schooners, re-
turned here, their fate, had they
attempted to traffic along the Siber-
ian coast, would have been the same
as that of the four detained at East
Cape, while their crews are under
arrest and forbidden communication
with their home country except
through Soviet censors.
The outcome for the four trading
s%chooners and their crews depends
upon the attitude taken by their
officers toward trading regulations
when a party of Soviet authorities
coming north to East Cape and
Whalen on a steamer, arrives, it is
expected here. Officials in the party
are to hear charges that the schoon-
ers violated Soviet commercial laws.
