speeding the police tug Manhat

overtake her. the Cunard liner
Assyria tonight flashed past San
dy Hook and headed for Scotland,
carrying with her 11,505 cases of
whisky deported by federal pro
hibition agents and two deputy
sheriffs alleged to have been
"kidnaped" while executing an
crder to seize part of the cargo.
The Manhattan, which had been
sent out by Deputy Police Inspec
tor Cahalane, with orders to res
cue the deputy sheriffs "by force
if necessary," was too slow for
the liner, her captain reported,
when he returned to tfie battery.
He got too late a start, he said,
and after trailing the Assyria al
most to Sandy Hi ok, gave up the
race as lost.
Besides the deputies, who were
aboard attempting to seize 4,000
cases of the whisky on a wTlt of
replevin, the ship J carried two
prohibition agents, assigned to
guard. the llquidcaro.
The whisky Had remained in
customs storage since 1921 when
it was shipped by Heilborn and
company, distillers of Glasgow,
Scotland, to an agent in this conn
try. It was not seized by the pro
hibition officials, however, until
recently, when it was consigned
by the agent to the Alps Drng
company and another firm, both
of which had permits to Import
and distribute wine.

BIG SUCCESS
Hold-Out on Dyer Anti
Lynching Bill Declared
Most Efficiently Managed
in History.
OTHER NOMINATIONS
Small Minority Found Able
to Block Any Pend
ing Legislation
WASHINGTON'. Dec. 2 Sue!
cess crowned the filibuster ot!
senate Democrats against the Dy
er anti-lynching bill today when
Republican senators in party
caucus voted to abandon the
measure completely.
Filibuster Efficient
The Republican majority acted
after the Democrats by wbtf is
generally conceded to have been
one of the most efficiently con
ducted filibusters In the history
of the senate, had prevented the
transaction of any business for
the fourth consecutive legislative
day. The obstructionist tactics ot
the Democrats were threatening
more than a thousand presiden
tial nominations, which, if uncon
firmed by Monday noon, when the
special session ends, must again
be submitted.
Dyer Bill Die
The question of abandoning the
measure which was passed by the
house last season was debated in
the senate for two hours, it is
understood, a small minority
holding out for continuation ot
the fight. The final decision,
however, was directing Senator
Lodge to Inform the Democratic
leaders that the bill woM M
pushed no further either at the
special session or at the regular
session convening Monday. This
means the death of the legisla
tion which the Democrats have at
tacked as "a force bill," and as
unconstitutional.
I Minority Powerful
Majority ana minority leaders
alike were agreed tonight that
the filibuster thus brought to an
end by the Republican decision
will take a place as one of the
most notable in senate history.
Leaders on both sides were
agreed tonight that the filibuster
had had the additional effect ot
directing attention to senate rules
under which a minority by well
directed moves may block any
legislation and which Senator
Cummins, Iowa, the president pro
tempore, yesterday described as
belonging "to another civiliza
tion." Aj f t
