BAN ON LIQUOR
U.S.A. GOVERNMENT INFLEXIBLE (By Telegraph—Press Assn.—Copyright). (Australian and N.Z. Cable Association.) NEW YORK, June 6. The United States Government rejected a suggestion that the whole question of bringing liquors into American waters on foreign ships be submitted to an international conference. The administration regards the question as purely domestic, and will refuse to recognise the jurisdiction of any international tribunal such as a world court. SEVERAL ARRESTS. NEW YORK, June 7. (Received June 7, 8.55 p.m.) Agents of the Department of Justice arrested persons accused of counterfeiting liquor prescription forms, revenue stamps and permits for the withdrawal of alcoholic beverages from Government warehouses. The alleged counterfeiters included three custodians of these warehouses. The agents state that the Government has been swindled out of millions of dollars through the activities of these bands.
