LIQUOR FOR AMERICA.
FLOW THROUGH SEA GATES. RUM-RUNNING UNCHECKED. Sun. ' WASHINGTON. Nov. 6. Mrs. Willibrandt, Assistant-Attorney General for the United States, in charge of the enforcement of prohibition, in her annual report, says that rum-running outranks piracy and all other . criminal offences. The -United States is also facing on the high seas one of the greatest problems in the enforcement of Federal law. Trade statistics from Scotland and the Bahamas, showing the amount of liquor trickling through the sea gates of the United States, demonstrates that the coastguard regulations are wholly inadeqaute to stop the traffic. The quantity of liquor annually smuggled into the United States I cannot even be approximated.
BRITISH SHIP'S CAPTURE. WITHIN THREE-MILE LIMIT. A. and N.2. NEW YORK. Nov. 6. It is claimed by the prohibition enforcement officers that the sei? ire of the' liquorladen British schooner Louise F., off the coast of Florida was made within the three-mile limit—not the 12-mile. She was taken one mile from the shore.
