Nearly Hundred HaIf-Pints
Seized in Raid by Police;
Colored Man Under Arrest

The plans of James Butler, colored,
633 X street southeast, for getting
rich quick" selling bootleg whisky
were frustrated last night by the
police. After long evading the
clutches of the law ever since Wash
ington went dry" aud building up a
large trade, Butler was arrested by
Sergt q. #. Davis and Policeman
Nalley of the fifth precincts liquor
squad and charged with illegally
selling liquor.
The police officers raided the base
lnent of the house in which Butler
was living and found ninety-siX one
half pints of bottled in bond, eight
year-old. "l00-proof' whisky. When
the house was raided, the police say,
Butler attempted to dump the whisky
into a stove.
A man in the house with Butler
tried to get away by jumping
through window. He was caught in
a wire screen.
Sergt. Burke claims that Butler has
made daily trips between Washington
and Baltimore ever since the District
was put on the prohibition map. Fri
day he was seen to bring several
large suit case loads back.
When searched at the station house
S172 was found in his pockets.

Secretary Baker Explains.

Secretary Baker told newspaper
correspondents that neither he nor
Gen. March had made any statement
as to the number of casualties in
the present figbting. What actually
happened. he said. was that there
mad been some discussion with men,
bers of the Senate military commit
tee of the casualties suffered by the
American Army in France since the
beginning of its. participation in the
war and the figure mentioned was
II ,lGs. These. however, did not in
clude any that resulted from the OPP
erations since July 10. Neither Gen
March nor the Secretary himself had
any knowledge of these particular
casualties. Mr.. Baker said

stood was to be covered by the Sec
retary of War, and 1 believe he did
say something about it. Gen. Per-
shing replied to our order to send in
all casualties that the delay in send
ing them in was due to the fact that
our men were serving under the Brit
ish and the French as well as under
our own commanders. but that cas-
ualties would be cabled as soon as
they had been completely certified.
You can well imagine how disastrous
1t would be IL the casualties were
cabled and then corrections had to
be made. The distress would be be-
yond question, and SO these lists are
going to come in, and as soon as
they do come in they will be given

The statement is published today
that the chief of STAFF. Gen. March
informed the Senate committee on
military affairs that a rough esti-
mate of the casualties as computed
by Gen. Pershing was about 1000
Another estimate was 10000
These statements are absolutely
false. Gen. March did not give any
estimate or intimate any number of
American casualties. On the con-
trary. Gen. March's announcement to
the newspaper correspondents today
was available. and explained the sit
uation as regard casualties.
AT the request of the chief of
staff. editors and correspondents are
hereby cautioned against publishing
these false statements that any es-
innate has been made regarding the
number of American casualties"

There was a chart showing the
total number of casualties in the

SO that these armored cars seem to have
solved the problem Of the rapid advance

They are in constant touch with the

PEDDL!NG IN SMALL WAY

Bootlegging has been on the decline
just about long enough for careful in
quiry to determine whether the heavy
sentences imposed on convicted liquor
venders recently by the courts and
the publicity given the Illicit traffic
have been of benefit or otherwise.
Some police officers have remarked
that virtually all the whisky peddlers
are sojourning at the fresh ar
farm at Occoquan, Va, which Is the
reason for the lull in the bootleGging
business. Despite this, there are stIii
whisky peddlers roaming the stree:s
of Washington trying to dispose OF
their goods. according TO some of Maj.

unable to make arrests because of lack
of sufficient evidence.

Seventy-Five Per Cent Gain.

Proof has been given by the number
of arrests last week. compared with
those of the previous week, that the
bootlegging evil has decreased about
IS per cent. Court officials have at
tributed the calm to the pubi ilcIty
given the bootleg cases and the heavy
penalties imposed, while others have
declared that the liquor vendors are
only waiting for the police to relax
their vigilance before again attempt

During the week beginning July %
seventeen persons Were arrested on
charges OF selling liquor. Last week
only seven new cases were brought
into the court.
