Seven men, 14 cases of liquor, two speed boats and 9,000 obscene books and pictures were captured today by customs harbor agents. Seeing suspicious looking pack ages being lowered into a motor boat alongside the French liner Paris, six special revenue officers, headed by 'George Barron, gave chase. Ten minutes, later the motor boat was headed off and her crew of three submitted to arrest. In the boat were 6,000 books and 3.000 pictures. While towing the boat to the Battery, Barron and his men saw cases of what looked like liquor being lowered into a motor boat from the deck of the Panama Hail road company's steamer General W. C. Gorgas. Barron and an aide leaped to the steamship pier. As they snapped handcuffs on two ni"n on deck, the motor boat, with the liquor roared away, hotly pursued by the other five customs agents. Barron, hauling his prisoners with him, started to search tho Gorgas. In the boiler room, lie said, he was set upon by eight firemen. Meanwhile, tho revenue boat and its new quarry had run into a 63-mile breeze down the bay where with both craft threatened with submersion by huge waves, they fought it out. The agents won and returned to the Gorgas' do'k with more prisoners and another bojit loaded with liquor. Four bulldogs met them as they jumped to the pier. By the time this new attack was repulsed, Bar ron and his aide had escaped from the ship's boiler-room, still in pos session of their two handcuffed prisoners. Tho defeated firemen sought safety in flight. ROM S CONSIDERED WASHINGTON, March 11.
