Two days before the Korona left

"The steamer Korona originally
' was a Furnlss-Wlthy vessel under
Canadian registry, but purchased by
the Globe Line through one of their
dummy officers, an Englishman, Capt.
Barkly. A cargo, Including 400 drums
cf alcohol was received. The alcohpl
totalled 40,200 gallons, and the valuo
placed at between $500,000 to $800,000.
. "Arrangements were made with
parties in Greecejto givo fake land'ng
certificates for this alcohol, and have
It taken off at sea and ent to Now
York for solo to the venders.
"On March 19, at 11.S0 P. M., tho
Korona mysteriously- slid out of her
berth at the foot of mat Street, Hud

After thp vessel had' passed Liberty,
tho chief steward was nwakoned ti

-which we ascertained hod orders to
watch the chief steward, jwlrcless op

any ono who might attempt to signal
for help, slop or leave the ship.
"The Korona arrived twenty-two
miles off Block Island, and a tug came
out to meet the ship. On the morn
ing of March 21 thero was thrown
aboard to the Captain a chart with
complete orders to proceed under
cover of darkness up to Newport, It.
I to discharge ttys alcohol.
"Tho vessel proceeded to the sched
uled spot and was met by two tugs
and canal boats of which all of the
crews, with the excoptlon of the en
tire steward's department, wireless
operator, second officer and engineers,
participated in the unloading.
"Tho .Korona started for ripaln,
leaving the barges and tiigs towing
for New York and later we Itemed
the United' States revenue cutter
t.jolncd in the towing.
"Thla alcohol we have been advised
was landed In Newtown Creek ac
tion, and that eighteen unlfonnol po
licemen discarded their coits and
caps to help In the transfer of tho
alcohol from tho barges to wa'tlng
motor trucks. .

Ma-a-at Ma-a-al
Tho goats of Ann Street, West
Hobokcn, have got tho "goats' cf tho
residents of that thoroughfare to such
an extent that to-day they appealed
to the Board of Council to rid tho
street of these ravenous animals.
Residents complain that a dozen or
more nannies and billies, some with
horns and some without but all with
homs and some without, but all with
raising havoo. Morning newspapers
disappear In part or their entirety:
beautifully cultivated shrubbery has
shrunk to barren stubs: well-nurtured
lawns ore patchy wastes, while
prlred flower beds look as though a
scries of heavy frosts had devastated
them.
Ono resident said ho expected to
wake up Homo morning and find His
front porch gone.
It Is claimed theHobokcn Board of
Health was appealed to, but no action
was taken. Now the Ira to residents
have complained to tho highest city
authorities.
