U.S. PROHIBITION LAW
TO BE OBSERVED TO THE LETTER. BY CUNARD AND ANCHOR LINES. Received May 19, 5.5 p.m. NEW YORK, May 19. Sir Ashley Sparkcs, general director of the Cunard Line, announces that the Cunard and Anchor Lines will follow the American Supreme Court’s prohibition ruling to the letter. The company’s liners, when west bound, will only carry liquor as far as the three-mile limit, there throwing what remains overboard. Eastward bound vessels will carry no liquor. Sir Ashley Sparkes declares that the recent London shipping Conference was of opinion that the United States’ decision was an infringement of the liberties of other people, and hoped the two Governments would get together so as to arrive at a decision to modify the Volstead Act so far as foreign ships are concerned.
