Judge Connor Will Decide .Whe ther to Dump Whiskey Into Ocean or Let it Leave U. S. Prohibition Director R. A. Koh loss and Attorney' A. H. Price, of the prohibition director's staff left last night for Wilmington to ap pear before Judge Connor in Fed eral court there in connection with the disposition of the Message of Peace, the liquor ship captured off the North Carolina coast. Captain Coleman has been con victed of disposing of part of his cargo and is out under bond. The question now to be decided by Judge Connor is whether the ship and cargo can be held by the Un ited States or whether under the terms of International law, it must be permitted to proceed to its des tination. In the first trial, Captain Cole man plead that under the Interna tional law, a captain of a ship could dispose of a part of his car go duty free to meet the expense incurred in me port in which he sought refuge. Judjre Connor hld that such was the case provided the cargo was not contraband. Should Judge Connor decide thnt the Message of Peace is subject to seizure, then he will decide what disposition is to be made of the li quor. If he should decide that the ship should be permitted to proceed to its destination under terms of International law. then Mr. PnVo is likely to proceed to collect whole sale and retail taxes due the gov ernment. However the judge may decide, Captain Coleman's trou bles are not over, he still has to servo thne and may have to pay out a neat little sum in licenses and taxes before his ship can proceed, i Latest reports from Wilmington say that Captain Coleman will file e counter suit against the govern ment to recover part of his liquor cargo alleged to be short. The ship wa3 seized at Portsmouth and turned over to the customs officials and taken to Wilmington under convoy of the cutter Seminole. The liquor has beert in the hands of customs officials pending the out come of the trial. lhe ships manifest showed 1 036 cases of whisky. But only 799 cases it is alleged, were checked in at Wilmington at the customs house and now the British consul at Savannah, Joseph Roach, says me cruisn law considers this par ticular cargo the pmnerty of a British subject and will expect the United States government to make good any part of the cargo unac counted for.
