Tug, Two Graft in Tow, Brought to B0StOn-FirSt Estimate Of
 Cargo Eza6seration
200 CASES OF WHISKEY
 FOUND IN CRUSHED ROCK
Most Important Capture" in His tory of Prohibition Sinners Down to Lesser "Find"-Speedboats Towering About Barges Lead Pa- troI Boat Skipper to Suspect Something Wrong.

Boston, Nov. q Ry-Agents of the department of justice and treasury department from Washington join ed local customs and Coast Guard officials today in taking charge Of the tug Murrell of New York and two barges, at least one of which was known to contain large quan- tity of liquor.
 The tug and the barges, the Eagle Hill and Edith, were captured of the Maine coast by Coast Guard patrol boat Wednesday and brought to this port last night.
 After a superficial examination it was said at Coast Guard headquar- ters here that the value of the sen- ed contraband probably would ap- proximate a million dollars and that the seizure was regarded as one of the most important in the history of prohibition.
 A more exhaustive examination, however, indicated this estimation might be an exaggeration. It was known that at least 200 case ot liquor was found on the Eagle Hill at the outset and more was thought 10 be hidden under her cargo Of crushed stone.
 The two barges carried cargoes of crushed stone. Under the stone on the Eagle Hill federal agents begin ming their search found more than 200 cases and were confident con sidera ble more would be brought 70 light when the craft was unloaded in port. No liquor was found on the Edith at the outset
 Nineteen men, the crews of the tub and barges, were taken into GUS todY of customs officials.
 Government agents who made 8 preliminary examination of the car goes said that if all the containers and cases that appeartd to contain contraband did in fact, the seizure would probably be the biggest ever made on the Atlantic coast and one of the most important in the history of prohibition. They placed s1,0o0,- 900 as conservative valuation. Deputy Collector Thomas Finnigan and Owen Mckenna. special treas ury agent, boarded the three seized vessels today 10 make a closer ex- animation. The inspection showed the guess was wrong.
 The Jackson encountered the Murrell with her two barges in tow eight hours out of Rockland, Maine. They had cleared for New York. The suspicious of Boatswain Mich ael J. Bruce, skipper of the Jackson. were first aroused when he noticed numerous small speed boats hover ing about the barges At intervals these speed boats scurried off shore ward to disappear in small inlets along the Maine coast.
 No Resistance Offered
 Bruce stood by with the patrol boat for a time but the activity of the small craft did not abate. He ordered the Murrell hove to and sent out a boarding party. The crews of the tug and barges offered no resistance.

 The Happy Parrot, classed as a speedboat. with a load of choice liquors estimated at 400 sacks, and a crew of three men aboard, was captured at 10;30 o'clock last night at Cerberus Shoal, Block Island Sound, by a, 75 foot Coast Guard pa trol boat from the local base. The identity 0. the capturing boat was withheld by the Coast Guard. The names of the members of the crew of the rum runner. it is said. woul1 not be released until they were ar raigned
 Cased and Fired Upon
 Capture of the Happy Parrot oc- cured after she had been chased for eight miles by the patrol boat and only resulted when a shell from a one pound gun aboard the pursu- ing craft crashed into the low deck house of the speedboat, ripping and tearing out a side of the structure.
 No one was injured. The crew of the speedboat, according to the Coast Guard, was evidently below decks and the craft was presumably being guided from below when the shot struck home. The hit caused the helmsman TO bring the Happy Parrot about. whereupon she was seized by a boarding party from the patrol boat
 The Happy Parrot had been under the observation of the Coast Guard for some time and had several times been previously boarded with noth-

People, But Finds He was Wrong
 Columbus, O., Nov. q tP}-C. C.. rabbe, father of Ohio's dry laws, md former attorney general of Ohio, today announced that he favored modification of the Crabbe act to permit the sale of light wines and peer.
 Crabbe said that the enforcement of the present stringent prohibition law in Ohio was mot satisfactory" 5nd that the people of the state had aot respected the statute.
 Temperance Not Obtained
 The former attorney general said Inc law has failed to promote true .omperance and that it needed to be modified to suit the majority of the 5cople of the state.
 Crabbe said he was for modified ion which would permit the sale of light wines and beer under strict government control. This plan, he pointed out, could not become effec- i've. however, without m modification of the Volstead act.
 Light wines and beer under strict governmental control would be preferable to what we have now" Trabbe said. There is neither re- spect nor true enforcement of the present law. If the law as enacted had been properly respected and en- forced 1 would not have advocated q change, but l am willing to con- Gede that this is not true and con- eaquently am in favor of modified tion.
 Need Respect for Law
 We need a statute that will more nearly meet the wishes and con- ,nand the respect of the great ma .orty of the people. The present pro- hibition law has not prevented the use of intoxicating liquor but on the contrary has brought about condi- ton where there are greater per- .entage of our people drinking now than ever before. The drinkers are a different element too than in form er years.
 T believe that majority of the raople of Ohio would still favor a 1easonable law regulating the use of 1ntoxicants but they are not in ac- cord with the present rigid meas are"
 Crabbe said the recent election was indicative that the pendulum has swung back" He asserted that he was opposed to a return of the saloon.

 Hurley Shakes Hands
 Hurley stepped forward and clasp ed the hand of the new chief, who succeeded General Charles r. Sum- merall. Summerall bade farewell to the army late yesterday.
 Your are succeeding a brilliant soldier" Hurley said. but your own brilliant record in the army gives adequate assurance that you will up hold its high traditions"
 Shortly after the installation cere- mony, Macarthur, wearing the four stars of a full general, called at the White House to pay his respects 10 the army's commander-in- chief, President Hoover.
 Meanwhile. General Summerall, MacArthur's predecessor, sped south 10 his home in Florida. There he will rest from his four years service as head of the army. He departed last night after receiving from Sec retary of War Hurley the soldiers boon Of praise for work well done and a tribute from his fellow off ccrs.
