Liquor Men Unload
To Evade Seizure
Million Gallons a Day Being
Withdrawn From Bond

Washington, July 1s.-Liquor dealers,
alarmed at the prospect of the govern
meat Selling the vast quantities of dis
titled spirits in bond, are withdrawing
whiskey from bonded warehouses at a
rate never before equalled. Within the
last ter days more than 100000
gallons have been withdrawn, and the
ratio of 100000 gallons day prom
ises to continue.
The whiskey thus withdrawn is
placed largely, revenue officials be-
lieve, in stock in retail establishments.
Withdrawals have been almost exclu-
sivcly from warehouses in Kentucky,
Pennsylvania and Maryland and the
Cincinnati and Peoria districts.
As consequence Of the scare, in
ternal revenue receipts have risen this
month to a point higher than ever be-
fore, the total for the first seventeen
days being approximately S7,5OO,0oO
more than last July.

City Club Loses Point
In Swami Controversy
Justice Tompkins Refuses to
Transfer Perjury Case to
Supreme Court

District Attorney Swami scored
point Yesterday in his controversy with
the City Club, when Justice Tompkins,
in the Criminal Branch Of the Supreme
Court, denied the City Clubs motion
TO transfer the case of Barnet Engel,
one Of the recanting perjurers in the
so-called labor cases, from the Court
Of General Sessions to the Supreme
Court. Chase Mellen and John Kirk
land Clark, counsel for the City Clue,
in their motion declared that mas
much as Engel repudiated his confes-
sion of guilt and testified against Dis
trict Attorney Swami. the latter would,
"for his own vindication. use every
effort to bring about his conviction,
whether he is guilty or innocent" JUS
tice Tompkins criticised this, saying:
81 find nothing in the papers or the
record of this case TO justify the sug-
gestion that the District Attorney will
knowingly ask for the conviction OF
an innocent man. | find no justitca-
tion for the claim that the District At
torney will not fully and properly per-
form his public duty. To grant this
motion would be TO discredit the Dis
trict Attorney without good reason and
it would give judicial approval of the
defendants attack upon the District
Attorney, which think is unjustifable,
and would permit the defendant TO
select his own prosecutor"
The last sentence related to another
phase of the motion Of the City Club
which sought to have the prosecution
of Engel taken out of the hands Of the
District Attorney and placed in the
hands of Deputy Attorney General
appointed by Governor Whitman.

Not Recognized by Government
The commander then wanted to know
what the regiment had done with the
rest of its money. "We told her 1t was

The real explosion came in the regi-
ment when Miss Clemons, on behalf OF
the "non-coms" and privates. asked
when they would be called into the
government service. According to Miss
Clemons Mrs. Priest replied:
"The league isn't recognized by the
government. | have nothing TO dc

and never expect TO have"
"Well, we were fit to be tied" Miss
Clemons declared. 81 jumped up and

Police Disperse
Goldman Supporters
Wandering Meeting in Bronx
Forced to Give Up

A mass meeting called to protest
against the Imprisonment of Alexander
Berkman and Emma Goldman was dis
persed by the police reserves from the
Bathgate Avenue station, in The Bronx
last night, after it had wandered
around for an hour or so in a vain eff
fort to find suitable place in which to
protest.
A group of radicals, headed by
Charles Sonnenschein, had arranged for
the meeting to be held in the London
Casino, at 1876 Third Avenue, The
Bronx, but when they got there they
found the lights wouldn't work. A
search for the owner of the premises
developed that he was spending the
evening at Rockaway Beach. After half
a dozen conferences had been held the
would-oe protestants marched over 10
Bathgate Hall, a block away, in l72d
Street, but found meeting ALREADY in
progress there.
A brief impromptu meeting was held
on the corner. at which Sonnenschein
spoke. About the only thing he nro.
tested against was the fact that the
lights in the London Casino were out.
He intimated that maybe some one
turned them off on purpose so the meet
irg could not be held.
A number of the radicals then went
back to the London Casino. where thew
milled around for nearly an hour. in
Gulglng in disputes with the dozen
Home Defence Leaguers on duty there.
until one of the latter grew weary of
listening to them and summoned the
reserves to make them do their nro.
testing elsewhere. Pio'

Drinking in Saloon
Trick Of Lights Out" Had En-
. abled Men to Escape Be-
fore; Owner Held

Imagine that you are a police detec-
tive, ssddled with the task Of keeping
the uniformed bluejscket away from
Demon Rum. Picture yourself burst
ing into the back room of saloon, to
discover a dozen sailor men grouped
about tables on which liquor is stand
ing. And then, just as you are about to
take their names and pin evidence upon
the ssloonkeeper, fancy how you would
feel to have the lights go out, leaving
the room in total darkness. A moment
later they come on again. The liquor
is still on the table. But there isn't a
sailor in the place.
That is only one of the tricks that
saloon proprietors are using to thwart
the police. but Abraham Newman, pres
ident of the Downtown Liquor Com
pany, at Fulton and Hillary streets.
Brooklyn, worked it once too often, de-
tectives say.
For some time past Inspector Frank
A. Tierney, working in conjunction with
United States Marshal James NJ. Power,
has had the place under surveillance.
Twice, it is said. his men have broken
into the rear room, have found sailors
in various stages of intoxication. and
then the lights have gone out, coming
on again to disclose the room uninhab-
tied except for the amazed policemen.
Late Tuesday night Inspector Tier
ney received word that twenty blue
jackets were in this room, drinking beer
from containers. This time he post
poned his raid by detectives until after
two of them, dressed as sailors, had
entered the place and had been served
with drinks. Then the plainclothes
men entered.
Immediately, the police say, the
lights went out, and sounds arose of a
score Of sailors fastening out through
rear door. When the lights were
switched on again, they allege, Newman
attacked Detective Hartigan and struck
him in the chest
When arraigned before Magistrate
Walsh yesterday Newman was held in
$500 bail on charge of disorderly
conduct. He will be examined on Fri

Graft, on Stand,
Denies Completely
In Baf Murder
Swears He Was Always
Friendly with Slain
Poultry Dealer

Abraham Graft, one of the four al
legged conspirators in the murder of
Barnet Baff, was called TO the stand
yesterday before Justice Tompkins in
the criminal branch of the Supreme
Court. Before Graft was called about
dozen character witnesses testified to
his good reputation.
Among these was George G. Brown,
West Washington market commits
sion dealer. witness before the grand
jury against the poultry dealers con-
victed of conspiracy and monopoly Of
the trade in 1911. Baff was one of the
complainants and witness against the
defendants. Mr.. Brown declared that
the convicted dealers had everything TO
lose and nothing to gain by the death
of Barnet Baf, because before the mur-
der they were relying on executive
clemency for pardon.
Graft testified that he was always on
friendly terms with Baff, and, as buyer
for Charles Werner, had bought and
sold chickens at Bats stand. He said
he was on friendly terms with Harry
Baf. his son, after the murder of his
father.
Graf denied categorically that he
ever discussed plans for killing Baf
with Cardinale. He said he had
never met Cardinale outside the
market in his life. He denied
that he had ever conspired with him
to poison Aaron Newmark's horses in
Harlem or to set fire in Newmark's
market He said no had never been in
the garret over Werner's market,
where, Cardinale testified, a gunman
