SMUGGLING ADDS SPICE
TO NORWAY'S DRY FIGHT
Shipment of Spirits Arrives From
America-Prohibi Is Keen
Topic as Vote Nears.

By Radio to The Star and Chicago Daily News.
OSLO, October 14.-The latest sur
prise in connection with smuggling is a
lot of directly-imported spirits from
Brazil found in Oslo. All the tins
though of Mexican origin, bore Bra
lillian stamps, showing their origin
was guaranteed.
1t is supposed that a whole shipload
arrived from America. The indication
supporting this is that railway men
today found 1000 barrels of spirits
hidden in fishing cases sent from
Bergen, where it is probable the Bra.
lillian party unloaded the cargo.
Interest in connection with liquor
smuggling increases, owing to the
approaching prohibition referendum.

Oslo today was filled with all sorts of
banners for and against prohibition.
