tomobile, told Tenleytown police that

E1gMty Iaken Into custody.
There was the usual personal
use" aggregation Of men and women
special" that arrived at White House
station, 18th and H streets north
east, last night shortly before 9
o'clock. Capt. James Hartley of the
ninth police precinct, force of
fifteen members of his command and
ten detectives from police head
quarters greeted the liquor 'toters, y
about $50 in humber, and arrested
eighty of them.
Almost every patron of the bootleg
speciaT' set up personal use'
claim. and declared they had been
misled by newspaper statement
that they would be permitted to
bring six quarts of intoxicants with
out being molested. Police officials
knew nothing Of any six-quart ex-
ception, however, and when Maj.
Pullman learned Of the number of
Washington residents purchasing
liquor in Baltimore yesterday he got
busy.
Following a conference between
United States Attorney Laskey. Maj
Pullman and Inspector Grant, it was
given out that the question of guam
tity would not figure in arrests. 1t
was made clear by the United States
attorney and police officials that per-
sons bringing any quantity of liquor
into the prohibited zone would be
subject to arrest, and under the de-
cision Of Judge Hardison, they pointed
out, the person arrested would have
to prove 1t was for mis- personal use.
