THE CUSTOMS PROBE stirs up
a muddier mess the longer it con-
tinues. Customs officials small and
large appear to have done their duty
to the best of their ability, but the
liquor interests seem to have culti-
vated bribery, camouflage, creoked-
nese and bald disregard of the law;
to the, limit. • The alatest•.seizureis
reported as amounting of over $85,-
000, consieting of three cars all ap-
parently going via Cobourg-Rochester
ferry into the U.S. billed "as "pulp
wood" and "shavings," but containing
nearly 75,000 bottles of ale rind beer.
As proof grows on proof and the
mass , of evidence accumulates it
will be interesting to watch develop-
ments and enforcements in the future.
New appointments are being reported
from coast to coast as indicative a
a 'complete reorganization of the pre-
ventive service.
