Chief Believes Liquor
Owners Assist Thieves

That highjackers have been in col
lusion with owners of liquor in re-
cent raids on stocks of intoxicants
in Omaha homes for fear the law
would take hand in case the liquor
was sold openly to bootleggers, is
the suspicion of Omaha police
heads, according to Chief of Police
Eberstein.
Owners of liquor stock contract
business dealings secretly with
bootleggers and allow the buyers to
raid their homes without molesta-
ton, is the opinion of the police
chief.
