Dry Authorities Urge
Twelve-mile Limit Off
Coast of United States
New York,—Substitution of a 12 mile
limit for the 3-mile limit now drawn by
international law has been recommend
ed to Washington as a means of com
bating the rum fleet off the New Jersey
coast.
This recommendation, it was said to
day, was an outgrowth of the confer
ence Saturday between Acting Col
lector of the Port Stuart and prohibi
tionjenforcement authorities.
The theory that extension of the cus
toms limit would check smuggling was
based, prohibition agents said, on be
lief that the small boats running liquor
from the rum fleet to shore would find
it dangerous to ply far from shore.
umciais admitted tney did not ex
pect an immediate ruling on this point
because the Supreme Court now was
considering a similar question in con
nection with the search of foreign ves
sels bringing liquor into American
waters.
The rum fleet off the coast is taking
on the proportions of an armada and is
well armed, according to officers of two
vessels which arrived today. The cap
tain [of the Koquelle, which arrived j
from Sierra Leone, Africa, estimates
'the fleet at from 25 to 50 vessels.
Captain Ernest Clark, of the Orbita,
'saw a continuous line of rum runners
■evtended from Fire island to Ambrose
•channel lightship, while Second Officer
Martion declared he had seen nothing
but rum boats. The Orbita was de
layed five hours picking her way
•through the fleet.
“The rum boats were drifting around
like a lot of ducks,’' Martion said.
"‘There was a heavy fog when we
•passed Fire island at 2 o’clock this
morning, and from then until 4 o’clock,
when we passed Bmbrose lightship, my
heart was in my mouth.
“They were ringing bells, blowing
horns and firing guns to give us their

Seattle Alaska Letter.
Publicity Department, Seattle Cham
ber of Commerce.
Seattle, Feb. 2.—Senator Fred Ayer,
of Nome, speaking at the dinner of the
Alaska Committee of the Chamber of
Commerce, said that mining operations
now authorized or contemplated for
the immediate future mean the most
substantial development of mining in
the Seward Peninsula to date. Mr:
Ayer said the Hammond company has
gone into mining on a big scale near
Nome and that the results have been
so satisfactory that those who have
previously been pessimistic about the
gold mining possibilities in the Seward j
peninsula country are novr optimistic
that new building processes will bring
back the Nome country.
The committee endorsed the action
of the Seattle Fur Exchange, which
has a plan to gradually briDg about
the sale of the Pribilof island sealskins
here rather than at St. Louis.
Several residents of Fairbanks ar
rived in Seattle Friday evening, reach
ing this city in 7 days and 13 hours, the
fastest time made be'.ween the two
cities.
