SMUGGLE LIQUOR INTO
WASHINGTON

Despite the recent defamation of
Commissioner Haynes that it is hard
er to get drink in Washington than
ever before, the Washington Post
published copyrighted story today
that several thousand cases of LIQUOR
have been brought into the city by
bootleggers who are replenishing
their stocks in anticipation for the
large crowds that will gather for the
Shriners convention.
According to the story, most of
the liquor was landed from the cele-
brated yacht Istar of the Atlantic
rum fleet, which recently was off
Cape Henry, Va. From this and
other sources, it is declared, the city
has an ample supply to meet con-
vention needs.
The account further declares that
despite the dispatch of Coast Guard
cutters to Hampton Roads to inter-
cept liquor smugglers during the
presence Of the rum feet there,
about 5000 cases, comprising all that
remained Of the Istar's cargo, were
brought ashore and forwarded to
Washington. 1t is declared that the
yachts owner prof.ted by more than
half million dollars by his visit to
the American three mile limit and
now has taken his ship back to Eng
land for overhauling.
