HANFORD PRODUCE COMPANY TO BUILD THIS FALL Construction of the new creamery and poultry feeding plant of the Han ford Produce company long con templated by the company for O’Neill, is to begin within the next several weeks, according to Sioux City advises. The new building is to be located on the site between the Bur lington and Northwestern railroads, just north of the Northwestern depot, purchased several years ago. The new creamery will be one of the largest and most modern in the state and the poultry feeding department to be a part of the structure is one at first not contemplated. A cold stor age plant also is to be erected and it is probable that artificial ice will be manufactured and sold to the public. The buildings are expected to be en closed and under cover before winter, so that the work of interior finishings and installation of machinery may be completed in time for a formal opening in the spring. The decision of the company to build at once is made necessary by the already overcrowded condition of the Sioux City plant recently enlarged. Hi* Opinion.

HAS RIGHT TO SEIZE RUM VESSELS New York, Aug. 14.—Seizure of alien craft hovering about the three mile limit, sureptitiously to land liquor cargoes, either by themselves or in co-operation with small rum run ners, was upheld today by Federal Judge Woodrough in Brooklyn. Judge Woodrough, who usually sits in Omaha, directed a jury to returp a $20,000 verdict in favor of the gov ernment against the Detroit Fidelity and Surety Company in connection with seizure of the British,, vessel Marion Mosser on July 27, 1922. The Marion Mosher case brought about a special session of President Harding’s cabinet and an exchange of conversations with Great Britain. The United States attorney in his argument before Judge Woodrough today said: “It is clear that, irre spective of the cabinet’s determination as a matter of diplomatic policy to release foreign ships having cargoes of liquor when apprehended outside the three mile limit, there was ample legal authority for the seizure and forfeiture of the Marion Mosher and her cargo of liquor.” Judge Woodrough held that seizure of foreign ships engaged in smug gling liquor into this country was justifiable, even though they were on the high seas. “When a ship hovers around the American coast,” he said, “although three miles from shore, with intent to violate the laws and is caught in the attempt to smuggle intoxicating liquors, and it is shown that it is in contact with shore, its seizure, thdugh it be of foreign registry and outside the three mile limit, is justifiable.” The federal court decision returned today may lead eventually to a ruling by the supreme court as to whether the old statute known as the hovering act may properly be invoked in the enforcement of prohibition. Details on the Brooklyn case are not known to officials here, but it is considered en tirely possible that it may furnish a vehicle for carrying to the highest court a question that for some time has been more or less undetermined in the minds of prohibition officials. The hovering act, which was placed in the statute books many years before the advent of prohibition was aimed pri marily at merchandise smugglers.
