LIQUOR RUNNERS
FAIL TO EVADE 3$; OFFICIALS
Small Luck Met in Attempts ; to Smuggle Intoxicants Over Borders. --J '.(By Associated Press)
WASHINGTON, June 13. Smugglers .who have atempted to run the blockade of war prohibition laws to brinr liquor into the country have met
-with email luck and officials of the customs service believe similar attempts under national prohibition will
not be more productive.
Several thousand gallons of intoxicating drinks and a number of automobiles confiscated from International "bootleggers" testify to the effectiveness of the customs inspection. The ) automobiles can be disposed of by (the government at any time but the lliquor is providing a difficult problem as it must be sold before midnight of June 20. Auctions have been ordered in an effort to get rid of the I property. . Liquor captured in dry territory will be taken to a nearby port of entry in a etate where it can be ! sold., Liquor captured in Maine for ; instance, is to be sold in New York. ; The Canadian and Mexican borders and Florida apparently attract moro liquor smugglers than other parts of Ithe country. Owing to. the bulk of the contraband, few attempts have been made to smuggle any in by persons arriving at Atlantic or Pacific on ocean liners. Some who brought alcoholic drinks in good faith not
knowing importation was illegal have been allowed to reship the liquor back
to the country of origin. Borders Parolled.
On the Canadian border there have
been numerous attempts by smugglers
. operating in automobiles to run whis
ky across into dry states. Always
the effort has been fruitless, resulting In confiscation of the contraband and
of the vehicle, and conviction of those
responsible for the attempt. The customs inspectors and army patrol along the Rio Grande have been similarly
effective there.
The nearness of Cuba and the West Indies to the Florida coast has offered temptation to small sailing vessels to
try to beat the law by bringing in
valuable cargoes of rum and of her Intoxicants, but apparently few have
succeeded. "We don't see any need for increas
lng the customs force when national prohibition becomes effective," it was said today by G. W. Ashworth, chief
of the service. "The ban on importa
tion or intoxicants nas Deen eniorcea successfully for many months and
there Is no indication that smugglers will have more success with bringing In whisky than they have with more
valuable goods."

CONNERSVILLE Herman Hunter, 2S, in Jail on a grand larceny charge, drank a quart of disinfecting fluid in
an attempt to kill himself, but will
