New Ruling Regarding Liners
That Bring Liquor Inside
Three.Mile Limit Is
Announced.
Effective Next Month

by Associated Press.
Washington, June s1.-A new regu.
iatiOn prohibiting the bringing of
liquor into American waters after n
certain advance date next month
under penalty of seizure Of the liquor
carrying ship and arrest of its cap
tain is announced to have been yirtu-
ally agreed upon today as result Of
conferences among officials here.
Foreign governments are to be noti-
fled again of this governments IN
tention to enforce the supreme court
ship liquor decision vigorously, 1t is
understood, and to be warned that
seizure Of offending ships will result
from further violations.
Give Due Notice.
The plan is to give due notice of
the decision so that foreign ship lines
can make the necessary changes be-
fore the seizure policy becomes eff.
fectiye.
Participating in the conference to-
day We're Acting Secretary Gilbert
and Assistant Secretary Ross OF the
Treasury department. representatives
of the State department. Commits
sioner Blair of the internal revenue
bureau, Assistant Prohibition Commits
sioner Jones. representing Commits
sioner Haynes, and Chief Counsel
Britt of the prohibition unit.
1t was pointed out that the Vol
stead act requires the seizing of ships
carrying liquor Illegally. and the ar
rest of their masters. but that the
American government had been dis
posed to be patient and content Itself
so far with seizing only the contra
band liquor But in view OF the con-
stant stream of ships arriving in
violation of the regulations. it was
said sharp change OF policy was
under serious consideration.
Holds Provisions Mandatory.
Confscation in this manner of the
foreign fleet which has brought liquor
into New York, including as IL does,
some of the largest and finest liners
in the transatlantic service, would be
in the opinion of officials here. step
fraught with many serious con-
siderations. However. some legal au-
thorities are known to hold that the
provisions of the law are mandatory.
and that nothing but a desire to
stretch a point for the sake OF inter
national comfy can afford the offend
ing liners protection.
