SHIP SEIZURE HELD
SHEER AGGRESSION
Liquor Crafts Crew Released
After Court AssaiIS
Officials Action.

by tl4e Associated Press.
SAN FRANCISCO, April 2t.-Capt
s. S. Stone, skipper of the liquor shlT
Tederalship, and 19 members of his
crew were released from the county
jail here yesterday after the Federal
District Court ruled that seizure last
month of the vessel, its million-dol1ar
liquor cargo and crew by the United
States Government was Illegal.
The court did not, however, direct
the release of the ship and its
$1,000 900 cargo, and Henry Z. Farmer,
assistant collector of customs, refused
to surrender the vessel on demand of
defense attorneys.
The United States attorney refused
to issue an order of release until he
had received word from the Attorney
Generals office, TO which he telegraph.
ed the decision shortly after it was
rendered.
Barred From Ship.
Capt Stone was eager to put to sea
1T once, but he was denied permission
to go aboard the Federalship.
Federal Judge George NJ. Bourquin
In his decision declared the seizure Of
the vessel a "sheer aggression and
trespass" by the United States au-
Ihorities.
Defense attorneys indicated they
would demand that the Coast Guard
vessels which seized the Federalship
tow her back to the point of seizure.
nearly 800 miles off the California
coast.
The Federalship, loaded with u 800
cases of liquor, was fired upon by the
cutters Cahokia and Algonquin after
having been trailed from off the Co.
lumbia River. The Government
charged that the liquor cargo, loaded
at Vancouver, B. c., was intended to
be landed off the California coast, and
not at TIE port of Buenaventura. Co
iombia, to which it was consigned.
Challenge Upheld.
The Government further held that
It had legal right to make the seizure
on the grounds that inasmuch as the
cargo was supposedly destined for the
United States, the latter could claim
1t contraband, regardless of the fact
that it was seized on the high seas.
Jurisdiction of the United States
court was challenged by the defense
attorneys. and Judge Bourquin's de-
cfsion upheld their contention.
Faulkner in a statement said:
1.-THE opinion is particularly crafty
ing in that it sets national honor in
observing treaty limitations above
hysterical enforcement of a sumptuary
law
Besides declaring the seizure "ag-
gression and trespass," Judge Bour-
quin ruled that the act was contrary
TO treaty and not to be sanctioned by
any court and cannot be the basis of
any proceedings adverse to the de.
fendant"
He also declared that "a decent re-
spect for the opinions of mankind, ma.
uonal honor, harmonious relations be-
tween nations and avoidance of war
requires that the contract and law
represented by treaties shall be scrupu-
lously observed, held inviolate and in
good faith precisely performer re-
quires that treaties shall not be re
duced to mere scraps of paper"
