BOOTLEG WAR
OFFICIALS SEIZE £15,400 •VANCOUVER, November iS. The newest development in the liquor war following MowiayV vizii.u came when the authorities seized a registered letter containing £15,400 in transit from one rum-runner to another. This is the first time the sacredness of the bootlegger’s mail has been questioned. An agent for the Consolidated Exporters' Company was sending a remittance from Los Angeles to Vancouver, Canada, when a Government official stepped in and grabbed the money. International complications are threatened.
