LIQUOR BLOCKADE TIGHTENS
Dry law enforcement officers have
been considerably cheered of late by
turns of events in their favor. Most
noteworthy was the decision fo the
United States supreme court which
authorizes federal customs and pro
hibition officers to seize without war
rant automobiles suspected of carry
ing liquor.
So far as the Northwest is concern
ed government officers have launched
a program to combat rum running by
sea. A large number of rum chas
ers, not so speedy as the fastest rum
runners, but faster than the average
boat, have been built or are oei.ig
constructed for Puget Sound service.
Some of these already have acquitted
themselves creditably. In fact, the
war against the liquor runners who
have been using the water for the
past year or two seems to be getting
so warm that this business is far
riskier than it was. It continues and j
cannot be stopped, but the hazards l
are increasing.
Officers think that the rum chasers j
have become so important a factor in
the chase that the smugglers again
will be forced back to land operations.
In that event, they view with satis
faction the supreme court’s ruling on
search and seizure, which greatly fa
cilitates enforcement operations.
The United States and Canada hare
just concluded a treaty dealing with
smuggling operations on their point
international boundary. It is aimed
at smuggling generally and is expect
ed to be of value not only in prevent
ing violations of the customs laws of
the signatories but a blow to narcotics
running. One feature of interest is
that which authorizes British Colum
bia and other Canadian officials to re
fuse clearance to liquor vessels os
tensibly bound for Mexico or other
southern ports but actually destined
for Washington and California. This
traffic, which may be seriously affect
ed by the new treaty if ihe Canadian
officials co-operate, has been one of
the chief sources of trouble for Amer
ican prohibition agents in the past.
In this connection it may be of in
terest to note that a Federal judge
in Brooklyn recently ordered forfeit
ed a Dutch schooner and a $200,000
cargo of wines, seized 15 miles off
shore in 1923. The judge held that
the government is authorized to con
fiscate vessels landing or purporting
to land liquor in the United States
from any point on the high seas. The
law on which the decision is made is
a section of the 1922 tariff act which
prohibits any person from entering
or attempting to enter merchandise
into this country by means of a false
invoice, declaration or paper of any
kind, or by means of any fraudulent
practice.
This ruling is far-reaching because
r is the first time the government
ever has won its contention that it
may legally seize liquor laden ships
beyond, the twelve-mile limit. It is
probable that the Supreme Court will
bo ashed to pass on this question and
if the government is sustained the end
of liquor running by ships under fur

ri Friend of Police, Model Husband

(By Associated Press')
JAMAICA, N. Y., Mar. 26.—A
friend of all the policemen, a model
husband, and an honest workman
was William Shepard, of this city.
The police liked him because he tip
ped them where they could find law
breaking and law breakers. His wile
praised him because he was handy
about the house. His employer
praised him because he was a good
| hard worker.
I Then one night William told a po
liceman that some suspicious char
acters were loitering at one end of
a certain street. The policeman
went to investigate. Along came
another policeman. He saw a man
working over the safe in a store.
He entered and arrested the man—
William Shepard.
Now police say that Shepard for
many years has been committing
robbery after robbery after sending
the officers on "fake” alarms into
other parts of the town. He has
confessed, police say. Eighteen rob
beries are written down after his
name.

Expulsion Upheld Turk’s
Ousting of Patriarch
NEW YORK, Mar. 26.—Expulsion
of tlie Ecumenical Patriarch of the
Greek Orthodox Church from Con
stantinople hv Turkey is a move on
; the part of the Angora government
j toward extending its authority and
making Turkey more nationalistic.
The Greek protests against Turkeys’
action cannot carry the weight they
might have done before the Turks
expelled the head of their own
church from Constantinople. Hav
ing taken the risk of revolution in
their own country by exiling the
Sultan and permitting any other
Mohammedah country to become the
Moslemism, the Turks are in a
strong position in the present Greek
' | controversy.
Turkey’s new rules are resolved
to prevent conspiracies against their
authority by religious agitators,
whether of their own faith or ol
. movements against Angora are the
. most dangerous the Turks have tc
; face. The only serious domestic
s threat against the Angora reform
, ers since the World War, came from
! Moslem orthodox leaders who at
: tacked the new progressive efforts
at Angora as contrary to v Moslem
theology. The answer to this
reactionary force was the daring
challenge to the theologians which
j Angora isued by abolishing the
! Caliphate. The result of that move
; has been greatly to strengthen the
1 nationalistic feeling in Turkey, as
, centering in patriotism instead of ir
) religious loyalty to the Caliph.

r Greek Church from Constantinople ie

Slant menace to Turkish national
ism. The Greeks are the only Eu
ropean possessing a deliberate policy
oi' aggrandizement at Turkey’s ex
pense. The peculiar fact, due to
historical reasons, of the Greek
Church using Constantinople as its
capital, has served as a continuous
stimulus to Green imperialism. The
Greeks, highly, temperamental, and
easily stirred to religious enthusi
asm, have regarded Turkey as their
perpetual enemy, not only because
of their long term of bondage to
the Turks, but. also because they
have considered it their duty to
rescue their Patriarch by making
Constantinople Greek territory.
The presence of the Patriarch in
Constantinople has caused the j
Greeks to consider the Turkish
metropolis as a part of Greece
awaiting redemption. The feeling of
Medieval Christian Europe, toward
rescuing the Holy Land, which led
to the disastrous Crusades, some
what represents the Greek view of
Constantinople. The Greeks, how
ever, have been no more fortunate
in trying to plant the cross in Con
stantinople than the Crusaders were
in seeking to acquire permanent
control over the Holy Land. The
Greeks challenged Turkey after the
World War, only to meet with em
broiled France and Great Britain.
The action of the Turks in re
fusing further permission for Con
stantinople to be used as the ec
clessiastical center of the Greek Or
thodox Church cannot, therefore, be
considered unnatural. The natural
place for the head of the Greek
Orthodox Church is in Greece
rather than in a Moslem city.
<The present agitation of tin
Greeks, seeking to carry the dispute
to the League of Nations, will tes’
the diplomatic capacity of the An
gora leaders. If Angora can keep
Constantinople locked against the
Greek Patriarch, there will even
tually develop a lessoning of fric
tion between Greece and Turkey.
The Greeks, at first, will feel very
bitterly the loss of ecclessiastical
prestige. But, the remainder of their
Patriarch as a prisoner will vanish.
After there has been a readjust
ment, to the Patriarch's permanent
presence in Greek territory, Greek
imperialism, which outruns Greek
military capacity, will be less stim
ulated. Instead of spending money
fruitlessly on war abroad, the Greeks
will be able to spend it on reforms
at home.
