Lewis F. Mason on charges which al
lego conspiracy against the govern

General Thomas Cruise, l.. S. a., re-
tired, who is now in Washington
The Lipperts were arrested last night
after raid on their Offices under a
Federal search and seizure warrant
asked for by Captain Melvin Is. Eric
son. of tho United States Army Intel
ligcnce Bureau.
In his statement before Commits
sioner Mason asking for the warrant.
it was charged by Captain Ericsson
that General Cruise has admitted to
him In Washington that In January
he had received $500 from the elder
Lippert and that an agreement hac
been entered into by which Lippcrt
was TO pay him $500 a month.
y large number OF papers were
taken possession OF by the deputy
United States marshale who conducted
the raid.
After listening TO long series Of let
ters and documents probably close ia
1000 in all, the Federal search warrant
was issued, charging that. certain fnl-
onies have hecn committed against
the United States, that is to say. the
felony on the part OF Henry Fl. Upper;

fraudulent transactions. Most OF the
contracts handled by the L!ppcrts were
for wooden blankets for the army.
