Why do Repugnicans have such short memories? They still don’t see their own party voting against fixing the border crisis to win petty political battles.

"BOAT ALLEGED TO HAVE TAKEN WINE IS SEIZED," Hamilton Spectator. December 4, 1933. Page 7. --- Said to Have Carried Liquor From Hamilton ---- And Deposited It Near Rochester City --- Impounded By R.C.M.P. at Port Hope ---- A new development in the wine transaction between the H. Robinson corporation and an American bootleg ring came to light over the week-end when Sergeant Frank Samson took two men to Port Hope and seized the Harry H., a 125-foot craft that is alleged by the police to have carried the shipment of wine from Hamilton to a point near Rochester in the latter part of October.

Mounted Police officers stated that they had information in their possession that the craft in question had made the trip from Hamilton to a point near Rochester, where the purchasers of the wine had received it. Late Saturday Constables Crawford and McDuff, from the Toronto R.C.M.P. barracks, were placed on the boat after it was officially impounded by the government.

The boat has been lying in the west harbour at Port Hope for several months, ever since the law was passed prohibiting the export of liquor, but longshoremen at Port Hope said the ship was absent from its berth for three days at the time the police claim it made the trip. At this time the waterfront men said it sailed light and came back. -light and they believe the boat made the trip first to Hamilton and then to the American shore before returning.

Former Sub-Chaser The ship is of sturdy build and was used as a sub-chaser in the Black Sea during the war and is capable of doing about 40 miles an hour. It could make the trip from - its home berth to Rochester in about an hour, the lake sailors stated. It was registered at Toronto and the crew never stayed in Port Hope, residents of that town said. Whenever the ship made a trip the crew was brought down from Toronto.

At present Milton B. Staud is being held at Rochester charged by United States authorities with being in possession of merchandise that entered the country without the taxes being paid, but he will be turned over to the Mounted Police officers after they apply for extradition.

Bigfoot Conspiracy?

If a government is covering up Bigfoot, which one is it? My money is on Canada.

From the essay:

Conspiracy theories about government cover-ups of Bigfoot’s existence are popular, but unlikely. With numerous complex government and military organizations involved, coordinating a cover-up would be highly improbable. Moreover, the potential for financial gain through revealing the truth makes it even more unlikely. The myth persists due to the enduring allure of mysteries.

"Adjournment In Two Cases," Niagara Falls Review. October 24, 1933. Page 3. --- Ft. Erie concern is charged with smuggling in quantity rubber heels ---- PEDDLING CASE ---- FORT ERIE, Oct. 24 - (Special)- Two contentious cases were adjourned in Fort Erie police court yesterday by Police Magistrate William T. Malkin.

The charge against a Fort Erie concern of smuggling in a quantity - of rubber heels, polish in bottles, laces, etc. from the United States in contravention of Section 217 of the Customs' Act, was adjourned for one week. Collector of Customs Frank T. Pattison, and Charles H. Price and William G. Stamp of the staff were present to give evidence but after a short discussion the adjournment was granted to allow the Crown to produce additional proof.

Wendel M. Musgrove of Niagara Falls appeared on behalf of Gordon Lapp, Sherkston man charged with violation of the Hadker's and Peddlers' Act. After some discussion this case was adjourned until Wednesday of next week, in order to produce witnesses. This was satisfactory to Mr. Musgrove.

No plea was taken in view of the amicable agreement to postpone, although there was some discussion by counsel as to the points involved in the interpretation of the local by-law and the provincial act in this regard.
