PROHIBITION LAWS
GIVE POWERS OFFICERS
While at Valdez this week the edi
tor of the Gateway was shown the
laws relating to the powers and duties
of Federal officers of the customs or
Coast Guard and agents and other
persons authorized by the Secretary
of the Treasury, or appointed for that
purpose by a collector, which state
that such officer may at any time
go on board any vessel or vehicle at
any place within the United States,
without as well as within their re
spective districts, to examine, search,
any and every part of such vessel,
and the trunk or luggage of any
passenger, and to this end may hail
and stop such vessel if under way,
and use all necessary force to com
pel compliance with his orders, and
that no person shall destroy or con
ceal any evidence to prevent seizure
by such officer, under penalty of the
laws.
The law is published to correct
the mistaken idea that prohibition
officers must have a search warrant
in stopping vessels suspected of car
rying liquors or narcotics.
The law is very drastic and gives
customs and Treasury Department
officials unlimited powers.
