BY the Associated Press.

NEW YORK, Aug. 14.-Supposedly
defunct breweries in New Jersey
Pennsylvania, Massachusetts and tn:
Middle West are flooding the East

to Quench the parched threats of thos,
whose hard liquor supply has been cut
off by the governments rum blockade
which practically encircles the coun.
try.
Divisional Prohibition Chief, r. Q.
Merrick declares that in the last Sc
days more beer of illegal alcoholic
content has been seized than in the
preceding six months.
Three carloads of beer from Penn.
sylvania seized here yesterday brought
the total for the last month up to 60OO
barrels, with a value of about $780,
900 at the source and approximately
twice that amount in the bootleg mar
ket.
The shortage in hard liquors caused
by the dispersal of the rum. fleets and
the governments vigilance on Oh,
Canadian border and on the Gulf OF
Mexico, is given as one reason for the
sudden popularity of the brewed bev.
erage.
Mr.. Merrick names Scranton, Pa,
and Lowell, Mass, as cities from
which especially large quantities Of
beer have been shipped here.
Little is coming from Canada.
Special Investigators have been as
signed to mop up" the offending dis
tricts.
Special attention will be directed to-
wards the scrutiny of freight cars.
Agents of the federal narcotic squad
made their appearance as prohibition
enforcers here yesterday, participatin;
in several raids, which netted ninC
prisoners, 800 cases of whiskey, &C
