CANADA RUM NOTE
SECOND SENT j. s.
Coast Guard and Prohibition
Bureau to Answer Jose
phine K. Protest.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
A second major diplomatic problem
between the United States and Canada
has resulted from prohibition enforce
ment efforts of the Coast Guard.
Formal protest from Ottawa con-
corning the firing on and seizure of the
Canadian rum runner Josephine K. was
on its way today to the Coast Guard
and the Prohibition Bureau for answer.
The protest, received and acknowl-
edged yesterday by the State Depart
ment, commended the rum runner was
more than an hours sailing distance
from shore in January when she was
fired on by the Coast Guard cutter
CG-l45 of New York.
The hours sailing distance is en-
bodied in treaty as the limit to which
American ships may pursue, seize and
search suspected rum runners. Cana
da's note also questioned the justif1ca-
ton of action which led to the fatal
shooting of the Josephine KS captain,
William P. Cluett.
The note must be considered by the
Treasury Departments Coast Guard
Service and the Justice Departments
Prohibition Bureau before formal reply
is made.
The first major diplomatic incident
resulting from prohibition enforcement
followed the sinking of the I'm Alone
off the Louisiana coast in 1929. After
some consideration the protest was re-
ferred to arbitration. 1t Is expected the
I'm Alone and Josephine K. cases will
not be merged.
