prohibition act They were held in $1,000
and $500 bail respectively.
Orders received from Washington this
morning, by Todd Daniel, chief of the
local Department of Justice, instructed
him to put the majority Of his men on
the food boarding investigation. This,
according to r. d. Clark, special agent
Of the department in charge Of liquor
prosecutions, will materially reduce the
.lumber of liquor arrests for the time
being.
Evidence against fifty brewers of this
district is now in the hands of the De-
apartment of Justice which is ready to
go ahead with the prosecutions, said Mr..
Clark. No further action will be taken
by the department, however, until or
ders relative thereto are received from
Washington.
Indictments of beer sellers and brew
ers WHO have been manufacturing and
selling 2.T5 per cent beer will be asked
by the Department of Justice of the
federal grand jury, which will convene
in this city September s. The panel of
Jurors was drawn yesterday in the
United States marshals Office in the
Postoffice Building.
Following the trial and conviction of
any of the dealers United States At
torney Kane has declared he will ask
imposition by the court of the maximum
penalty in each case, $1,000 fine and n
years Imprisonment.
There will be no arrests of beer SELL
ers by the federal authorities in the
Philadelphia district today. On Mon
day it is expected q dozen more war
rants will be issued for saloon owners
and bartenders.

dence against themselves to Mr.. Kane.
So far only one dealer has made goot:
on the agreement.
