Foreign ships passing through the ! Fanama canal with liquors aboard are 0 be exempt from the new ruling. Penalties for Violation. Penalties for violation of the ban on . ship liquors recently promulgated by | the Attorney General will apply to foreign and American ships, accord- ing to provisions of the national pro- hibition act. it was stated at the De- partment of Justice today. While no new regulations will have 1o be devised for application to the | ship side of the prohibition penaity, | it was explained that the Volstead act. already a law, will apply. These penalties were outlined in a formal statement issued today by Assistant Attorney General Mrs. Wil- lebrandt for the Attorney General. The statement said: “Foreign and American ships by the recent opinfon alike become amenable to the provisions of the national pro- hibition act (Volstead act). Provisions of Aect. “Section 29 of said statute provides ‘Penalties for transporting, importing. and possession of $500 for first of- fense, and $1,000 for selling, for first | offense, and a penalty of $2,000 for second offense. “The other provisions of the Voi- atead act which may be invoked are: (a) Nuisance provisions. sections 21, 23 and 24, which provide enjuining its use, and declaring a fine of $1.000. (b) The so-called transportation sec- tion, section 26 of the Volstead act, ‘which provides for ‘The seizure and forfeiture of the water and aircraft or other vehicle.' This latter section, however, is invoked as a proceeding accompanying criminal prosecution against the driver or master of the vehicle, or craft and is for trans- portation only.” Officials of the Department of Justice were without notice today of the iIntended visit here of legal repre- sentatives of the Cunard Line to ar- range for the “presentation” of a test case under the ruling against liquor on foreign ships in American waters. Attorney General Daugherty said he would be glad to meet with repre- sentatives of the line, or if other maf ters prevented his giving personal at- tention to their business he would in- truct Solicitor General Beck to rep- resen the department.
