FLED SOUTH
Another Policeman
Involved in Rum
Running Esca-
pade on Border

Search for Police sergt. Z. W.
Plelow. under fire for alleged liquor
running on the Canadian border,
was begun ON a different angle Tues
day. following n report received by
Chief OF Police W. Il. Seyeryns that
Phlow had gone TO California.
Pielow. who was indefinitely sus-
pended by severyns after an inyesti-
cation into his activities, has been
missing for 10 days. Search for him
since February 10 has been unavail-
ing, altho the entire city and vicin-
ity has been covered.
Severyns announced Tuesday that
Pielow's name had been taken from
tho police payroll and that the officer
was ''as good as fired already" Sew
eryn's agent on tho Canadian border.
who investigated Pielow's arrest
there, has returned to Seattle.
The last developments in the case.
according to the agent, included In
formation that another Seattle police
officer was nabbed by Canadian Inn
migration officials for Illegal entry
into Canada last December. The Of
ficer was smuggling Christmas
whisky, he said.
When the officer was arrested, his
whisky-laden car was seized and
held by the Canadian officials. The
Canadian authorities considered the
case an excellent joke on the Seat
tie police department, as they did
tho Pielow affair.
The investigation by the agent. ac-
cording TO his reports, apparently
shows that liquor smuggling on the
border in the vicinity OF Blaine and
Lynden. White Rock and Alder
Grove is family affair among the
nearby ranchers.
Much stress is laid by the reports
on the activities OF two ranchers and
their wives who deal extensively in
whisky with the knowledge of Cam
adian authorities. The rancher's
wives act as pilots in running booze
over the border. In one instance a
cargo of narcotics is mentioned as
crossing the line under their super
vision.
Ed Hagen, former policeman ana
eN-convict, is much mentioned as a
dealer in liquor, together with Pis-
low. 1t was at one OF the ranches
that both were captured by the
Canadians. When the arrest was
made. a covered wagon, heavily
loaded. had just left Pkelow and
Hagen In their autos. The wagon
was driven by the rancher's helper.
presumably across the border. The
autos were empty.
