~~ fel PEMM'S CHFWTNfl TOBACCO (? RUM SHIP TAKEN WITH MUCH BOOZE '} CUSTOMS MEN SEIZE LITTLE AUXILIARY SCHOONER WITH 30.000 BOTTLES ABOARD. t ? The nerviest attempt at rum running, according to officials, since the prohibition regulations went into eff??ct was frustrate*' FVidav. savs the New York World, when customs in^ ^Spectors overhauled the twc-masted auxiliary schooner Victor coming ir through the Narrows. When boarded by Deputy Surveyor Sanders' men the vessel was found loaded with whiskey from keel to hatch covers The inspectors estimated there were at least 5,000 packages in the hold each containing six bottles of rye - whiskey, which had originally com* from Baltimore and had been ship i l*d to the Bahamas. The whiskej at present prices here is valued a1 about $300,000. Half a dozen inspectors dressed ai laborers were cruising about the har bor on the watch for possible boot leggers. They were near Quarantine when the Victor came through the Narrows under her engine. The lit tie schooner?she is an old Gloucestei rJahing smack?to the inspectors seem &d overloaded, her natural water lin< being several inches below the sur face. The customs men hailed her an< ordered the captain to drop anchor "Where is your manifest?" Capt Brown was asked. IVELOUI H !B^2E\ II a V II ii> "I haven't a manifest," replied the captain. "Why?" queried the inspector. "Because I did not get one when I left the Bahamas," answered Capt. Biown. "Bahamas" acted like magic upon the inspectors. They told the captain his vessel was under seizure and directed him to saii it up the harbor, where it^jas docked alongside the I Jlarge pWk. Capt. Broun told Deputy Surveyor Sanders that he resided in 43D street Brooklyn, an 1 it was his first trip 011 the Victor. His b other Thomas acted as mate and engineer of the aux- , iliary engine. There was a crew of five other men. ( Capt. Brown saui the vessel was hired to take the Victor to the Ba- i hamas for a cargo and ther. come north and await further orders off , the Nantucket Lightship. In an inlet off the Bahamas at night, the cargo was transported to the Victor ? by motor boat. He did not know what 1 was being placed aboard his vessel, 1 The next morning he got orders to make for the Nantucket Lightship, 1 Coming up the coast the Victor ran j into a succession of gales, and came 1 into New York for repairs and more gas for his auxiliary engine. < Capt. Brown, his brother ar.d the crew were detained for a hearing before a United States Commissioner j on the charge that thev brought whiskey illegally into port. The customs men believe they have landed the boat that has been bring ing thousands of bottles of whiskey ( into New York. j ? o 1 Hodge Timmerman, a white man ] ar.d prosperous farmer about 60 or 65 years old, committed suicide at < his home in the Good Hope section i of Saluda county last Wednesday afternoon. He got up from the dinner table, went out cn the porch, seat- i ed himself in a chair and removed i his left shoe and sock. Placing a 1 shotgun to his forehead, he pulled , the trigger with his toe. The load . , blew the entire top of his head off. i It is said that Mr. Timmerman tried 1 to kill himself several years ago by taking laudanum.
