LIQUOR IN UNITED STATES
ALLEGED SMUGGLING VESSEL SEIZED.
(Rec. August 19, 11.25 p.m.) New York, August 18.
The “New York Times” Washington correspondent reports that Britain has filed a protest against the American seizure of a British schooner outside the three-mile limit on the ground that she was smuggling liquor into the United States.
Mr. Mellon (Secretary of the Treasury) has announced his ruling that the prohibition of the transhipment to the United States of alcoholic beverages is lifted as a result of a suit instituted by the Anchor Line in July. The Courts granted the Anchor, Line an injunction restraining the Collector of Customs at New York from interfering with a shipment of liquor originally from Glasgow and consigned to a foreign port. The Supreme Court will now probably decide the issue.—Aus.-N.Z. Cable Assn.
