Baltic Liquor Seizure Halted By Mysterious Message
United States customs officers boarded the British steamship Baltic in New York to remove beverage liquors under seal but a sudden telephoned order from an unknown Treasury source stopped the seizure. Prohibition Director Palmer Canfield and Deputy Surveyor William Sanders led the operation before the halt. Captain J Roberts protested in writing as the liquor remained stored on board. The incident follows similar actions against the Cunard liner Berengaria and raises questions about clearance to seize beverages beyond U.S. waters.
