NEW CURB PLACED
ON CANADIAN RUM
Freight Cars Crossing Bor-
der Under Seal to Be
Carefully Watched.


A plan to shut off liquor shipments
from Canada was placed IN effect by
the Treasury yesterday, consisting OF
new regulations drastica1ly Tightening
up rules governing the inspection of
freight cars passing through that coun-
try en- route between American points.
Assistant Secretary Seymour Low
man, In charge of dry law enforcement,
said that bootleggeYs had obtained a
number of the blue seals used by Gus
toms agents to designate cars inspected
before leaving American territory and
these seals had been applied to cars
which, after being loaded with Canadian
liquor, were attached to through trains.
Method of Bootleggers.
He said 1t was believed that minor
railroad employees had been bribed by
bootleggers to assist both in obtaining
the seals and also in the handling OF
the cars
Each blue seal now will bear the
time OF the cars entrance into Canada.
and IL it should be delayed customs
agents Immediately will be on the alert
as to the cause. Such delayed cars, he
added. could be dropped from the train
upon which they arrived, and inspected,
If suspicion were aroused
How Scheme Worked.
He explained that as long as the
car retained its blue seal 1t was un-
molested by customs men until It
reached its point OF destination. This,
he continued. enabled the bootleggers
through connIyance with railroad en-
ployes to reroute the car to different
American point than the one originally
intended. Once this were done. he
added, the blue seal could be torn
Off, thereby removing any sign that the
car had recently been In international
transit and placing 1t on the same basis
as the thousands OF other American
freight ears.
MIR Lowman expressed belief that
under the new regulations the move
ment OF cars would be as rapid as at
present, declaring that the plan had
been worked out with the cooperation
Of officials of the railroads affected.
