on to a confederate. Thus, the boot
logger who made the sale is not
caught with the marked money. al
though the agent protests he sold the
whiskey.
All sorts OF evasions are mustered
up by the bootlegser in discrediting
the police agent when the marked
money is not found.
Caught, They Frequently
Charge . "Frame-hp."
In many cases when the marked
money has been found on the boot
/ logger. he has been bold enough to
denounce the police. asserting a
"frame-up' and declaring the money
had been thrust in his pockets so a
case could be made against him.
That traditional unlucky 81 bill
beat Sergeant Sheetz, OF Major Pull
mans bootleg squad, from getting a
conviction the other day.
Such a bill. marked. was given
police agent to buy a half-pint Of
whiskey. The sale was transacted.
The bootIegger was arrested. and on
the way TO the police station he
managed TO extract the bill from his
pocket Sergeant Sheetz saw him put
something to his mouth and a few
minutes later the bootIegger was
gulping-nearly choked But he
managed 10 swallow the important
bit of evidence-the marked 81 bill
His case is still pending.
Some Soldiers Prove
BSuhIIf6I Patrons.
Deprived OF the privilege of pa
tronizing the barrooms, soldiers
prove bOuntiful patron for the
bootleggers. Those who are inclined
&c drink whiskey. seldom have trou-
BILE in buying from the boetlegser.
But Major Pullman soon conceived
a plan TO end this sort OF trafhcking.
He solicited the aid OF the uniformed
men, and q number were assigned to
get evidence. Many convictions have
been obtained through the efforts OF |
military men.
Passwords are many and varied to
the bootleEger.
Precinct Detective BILLY" Burke
had a booLegger under his wstchful
eye for weeks. but found il hard to
get sufficient evidence TO make case
in court. The system OF this particu-
lar man was a sort Of triangle affair.
Used System Of Relatives
To Indicate Amount.
To buy q half pint OF whiskey from
him the purchaser had to ask il Jim
vas in"
II a pint was desired, it would be
forthcoming II the prospective pur-
chaser asked il "Jim's father was in"
For quart it was necessary TO ask il
"Jim's grandfather was in.
Then, after making the sale, tn
bootlegger cast the money in a dsn
corner of a room.
That's what one or BUrkc's pigeons
told him
But this particular man felt the
pressure OF the police The looming
up OF the District Jail caused him to
take notice. Burke says he has stop

Chicago. May u.-Modern alchemists
tonight stood confounded by as per-
picking a problem as ever confronted
the alchemists of old. who searched in
vain for the elusive something to turn

The moderns are less concerned
with gold and more with the wizardry
OF transmitting the dross of soft
drinks into exuberant. exhilarating
beverages.
The raisin is the thing" said one.
Yeast will do it," said another.
With the result that thousands OF
citizens are testing the potency of
the raisin and slabs of yeast in prep
aTation for the alcoholic day OF doom.
But neither the raisin nor the dash
OF yeast. when added to a nom -alco-
holic beverage. has the power 10 make
a combustible drink of it.
RaIsins and yeast mean nothing in
