RUM CARGO OF
MILLION VALUE
SEIZED ON SHIP
66 Men Arrested as Police
and Coast Guard Catch
Vessel in NJ Y.

BIZ United PreSs
NEW YORK, Aug. 12.-Police and
coast guardsmen today captured the
steamship Ansonia, a cargo of liquor
valued at million dollars, sixty-six
men, six motor trucks and three
automobiles.
The captain and crew of the An
sonia were captured single handed
by Boatswain G. A. LOOMS, who
boarded the ship alone after his
coast guard picket boat 1927 had
chased it several miles.
The Ansonia was docked at a
shipyard in Staten Island when po-
lice of st. George surrounded a large
group of men who came up in the
trucks and automobiles, apparently
to unload her. Thirty-nine men
were arrested.
Cut MO0rings, Flee
The crew of the Ansonia cut her
moorings and started off. The coast
guard vessel set out in pursuit and
overhauled her off the Statue of
Liberty.
Ferdinand Dauria, a patrolman,
early today noticed considerable &C
tivity aboard the Ansonia. The
presence of the fleet of trucks also
aroused his suspicious.
He telephoned headquarters and
the reserves arrived in time to sur
round the crowd at the dock. Po-
lice believe 20 liquor had been land
ed. A few men escaped the Gordon
and the crew hastily cut the moor
ing hawsers and headed up the bay.
Barge Is Sunk
The Ansonia was believed to have
ramned a barge, sinking it, in the
futile flight.
The coast guard was notified, and
it was comparatively easy for the
fleet Government craft to overhaul
the Ansonia, a lake-type boat about
three hundred feet long.
