CHECK LIQUOR BALES ON THE LEVEL 1A
Washington June 27 AP Assistant Secretary Lowman said he would order an immediate investigation into reports that the Leviathan was selling liquor on east bound trips from New York. He said unless the steamship obtained the liquor outside the 12 mile limit that sale would be a violation of the law. Treasury officials doubted liquor sold on eastward trips could be from medical supplies. They said each bottle bore a serial number for identification. It would violate the law to sell liquor issued by the prohibition bureau for medical supplies unless prescribed.
