tail business TO be conducted.
To-day warrants were served on Julius

is composed of julius Librowicz only
so far as the wholesale business IL
concerned. He and his brother jacob
conduct their retail business under the
name of the Atlantic and Pacific Com
pany. They have four separate regis
tered Government permits. n wholesale
and retail liquor license, one to dc
rectifying on their pre- Misses. and one to
manufacture extracts. Under the latter
, two permits they are allowed to main.
tain two 81 lis at AZ Vesey street.
For II long time the Government has
suspected that these stills were used by
Librowicz for Legitimate business in the
way of distilling whiskey, thus depriv-
ing the Government OF the tax on the
whiskey manufactured In other words
they were 'moonshining We believe
that they have manufactured enormous
quantities of Illicit whiskey. and We
have overwhelming proof against them. "
Both julius and jacob LibrowicZ deny
that their business was in the least lille
gal They denounCe the seizure arc
, arrest as entirely unwarranted, and defy
the Government officers to present any
proof against them. julius LibrOWicz Is
specially emphatic:
why should my business be ruined,
he quered, simply because Of private
spite and malice on the part OF aubor
dinate revenue agent?
Il have absolutely no redress when
am acquitted, for cannot sue the Gov
eminent and get any satisfaction"

! street, is very. handsomely fitted vi
and occupies the entire ground floor
