Mathews, assistant prohibition administrator of the Gulf zone, and Petty Officer Handley, today were once more in charge of the elusive liquor running crew which for the past week has defed the united pursuit of governmane vessels and merchant men.

 What method was used to gain control of Frank Wood. giant negro captain, whose resource, desperate, daring and cunning, is a by-word on Rum Row, remain to be told.
 The only information available to- day was brief cablegram dispatch ed by Mathews from the Mexican port in which he reported that the ship was in custody and that he and Handley are safe.
 A week ago. government forces took over the schooner in the Gulf of Mexico, near the mouth of the Mississippi, Mathews and Handley were sent aboard to guard the ships cargo of 10000 gallons ol liquor. AS the Arsene J. was being lowed to | New Orleans, a severe gale arose and the rum ship was ordered to drop anchor while government vessels proceeded to Port Eads to refuel. When the coast guard vessels re- | turned, the rum ship was gone.
