sion, which body yesterday gave Com

every tip given him by employees of rail-
roads and baggage rooms that lead to
the seizure of trunk laden with liquor.
And in case the informant is so fortu-
nate as to cause the arrest of the person
owning the trunk, then he gets S. for the
Information, providing the person ar
rested is convicted.
Commissioner Barber stated that out
OF six trunks seized since the "bone-dry"
law went into effect, that only one of
the owners called for his trunk. A fund
was allowed in the ordinance, calling for
500 to be placed at the disposal OF the
commissioner of public safety for use as
