Rum blockade condemned as wasteful enforcement
The Associated Press reports a statement by the Association Against the Prohibition Amendment arguing the rum blockade wastes millions and targets only about 1 percent of illegal liquor. It cites 1924 imports valued at 40 million dollars and predicts a 10 million dollar drop this year, claiming enforcement would bankrupt the treasury. The piece notes a coast guard chase near Lake Ontario ending with the capture of Ben Herr and eight men, plus an armed woman, amid boats tossed overboard. Mae Davis, 25, of Webster New York, dressed as a man, was arrested on shore.
