Dry Agents Go
After Dealers
Caught Before
First Convictions Fail to
Stop Sales and Many
Places Continue Their
Business, Quigley Says
More Subpoenas Issued
Weeks Raids Declared to
Be Only the Beginning of
Cleanup of Entire City

. Failure Of the first arrest to stor
bootleggers from selling liquor has
moved John J. Quigley, Assistant
Supervising, Prohibition Enforcement
Agent, to concentrate the energies OF
his staff on those who have been ar
rested before.
"As long as violators persist, after
having once been convicted" said Mr.
Quigley yesterday, "the public gener-
ally gets the idea that, even with the
strenuous work being done by 'prohi-
bition agents the law has very dull
teeth. 1t is also greater satisfaction
Tor the agents to make case against
second offenders. The law provides
that the punishment for such shall be
Imprisonment for from one month to
five years in addition to fine of from
5000 to $4,000"
Mr.. Quigley said that several places
after cases had been made against
them and selling liquor as if nothing
had ever happened.
The Tribune published an article on
Friday quoting prohibition agents on
the difficulties in stopping saloon
keepers from bringing liquor from their
homes and nearby apartments and SELL
ing it after their stocks in their places
OF business had been seized.
The first. search warrant permitting
entrance to private house was issued
yesterday in Brooklyn.
Michael Gentle, 1902 York Street,
is alleged to have sold a bottle of
whisky for $5 to Daniel Borse, of 25
Lafayette Street. Borse is said to
have sold some of the liquor to
Andrew Hudgins, Of 81 Wiiloughby
Street. Borse and Genti)c were ar
rested yesterday. Borse pleaded
guilty before Federal Judge Chatfield
and was fined 800 and sentenced to
thirty days in Jail.
The search warrant affected Gentile's
premises. He and Hudgins were held
in $1,000 bail each by the United
States Commissioner Barmore in
Brooklyn for hearing.
New Forces at Work
Now that Mr.. Quigley has gathered
here number Of agents from other
cities in New York, he is making them
work and is doing everything in his
power to prove his statement that
Wednesdays raids were only the start
Of grand cleanup. He got twenty
nine cases that day and $4,000 worth
Of liquor.
On Friday and yesterday the agents
were sent out again. They had just

His argument was that it helped him

According to Isadore Einstein, pro-
hibition agent, who seized Eberstein's
liquor by means Of his familiarity with
the Polish language, the stock was
worth about $4,000. Einstein says
that Eberstein's heart was broken when
he realized that his ten barrels were
about to leave him. They represented
the invested savings of lifetime, and
he had had them only one day, the
agent says.

Courteous Policeman
Rewarded by Putnam
Publisher Charged With Speed
ing ON Long Island Sends $40
for Fine and Box of Cigars

PATCHOGUE, L. l., Sept. 4.-Motor-
cycle Patrolman Howard Jansen was
somewhat perturbed to-day when he
received a parcel by mail that was
about the right size and heft to con-
tain a neat and efficient bomb. After
consulting Justice of the Peace John
son, however, he decided to open it
without soaking it in water.
1t was excellent advice, for the box
contained cigars-a lot of them, and
prime ones, too. 1t also contained the
card of G. T. Putnam, of New York, a
member of publishing firm. Patrol
man Jansen served summons upon
him for speeding few days ago. When
the day came for him to appear letter
arrived instead, inclosing $40 with
which to pay the fine and saying that
it had been a pleasure to have so cour-
teous a policeman as Jansen serve a
summons on him.
The patrolman and the justice of the
peace had agreed at the time that the
ends of justice had been served. Yes
terday, each of them smoking a cigar,
reaffirmed this judgment.

Au.Occasion Hat Appears
1t Is of Rush and Handpainted
i'm Gold or Mauye

From The Trsbune's Buropca~ R.reou
LONDON, Aug. 6.--The most popu-
lar hat in London at the present time
is large, shady, openwork rush hat,
handpainted gold or mauve.
The brim is so flexible that it can
be bent about according to the wearer's
fancy. Two slots are cut in the crown,
the raw edges being bound with gold
or mauve braid. A broad silk ribbon
is threaded through these slots and
either tied in a bow or knotted and
left with long ends, again according
to the taste of the wearer, the ribbon
being changed to match any frock.,
The hat is seen on all occasions,
from river and tennis to garden party
and afternoon toilette, the arrange
ment of the ribbon and the angle of
the brim being altered to give a de-
mure, elaborate or jaunty effect, as
the case may be.

There was held in this city recently
a conference of wholesalers, attended
by Messrs. George M. Dexter, of Dex-
ter & Carpenter, Inc, John w. Whit
ley, of Whitley & Kemmerer, M. F.
Burns, of Burns Bros, and Charles S.
Allen, Secretary of the Wholesale Coal
representing the New York trade;
Messrs. Harlow c. Voorhees,, President
of the Philadelphia Wholesale Coal
Trade Association, and Frank M. Ram
sey, member Of the Board of Dircc-
tors of the same Association represent
ing the Philadelphia wholesale trade;
and MIR. Benjamin H. Read, of Balti-
more, representing the Maryland
Wholesale Coal Association and the
Baltimore trade. A member of the
staff of the Department of Justice was
present at this conference.
The situation as it existed at that
date was carefully gone over by this
committee, and as result it adopted
program providing for the following:
First, that all members of the whole
sale coal trade shall be requested and
urged to sign a pledge not to take part
i'm the purchase or sale of bituminous
coal where the same has passed
through the hands of more than one
other wholesale house, (in this con-
nection sales agency of an operating
company being regarded as a whole
saler). This action gives expression
to the general disapproval in the trade
of resale, and pyramiding of profits,
and while it will have material effect
upon only a small percentage of trans
actions because the substantial and
reputable house does not engage i'm
resales beyond the limit placed, and
seldom to that extent, at the same
time it will make it difficult, if not
impossible, for the element which has
been engaging in this practice 10 do
business at all.
Second, it was recommended to the
members of the w holesale coal trade
that the gross maximum margin of
profit be ten per cent on the invoice
price at the place of sale.
Third, the Committee constitutes
itself into grievance committee and
invites the public and members of the
trade to present to it facts concerning
abuses, which it will investigate fully
and use every measure within its
power to correct.
Fourth, that consumers of bituminous

coal are invited to communicate to the
committee instances Of failure of con-
tractors to ship upon contracts, with a
view to fully investigating such COM
plants to the end that contract obli-
cations shall be fully carried out or
consumers satisfied that if this cannot
be done it is due to circumstances over
which the contractor has no control.
Fifth, it is the view of the Commit
tee that the unusual demand existing
for bituminous coal at this time is due
largely to consumers duplicating orders
and the Committee has constituted
itself into a clearing house for the
purpose of eliminating the duplication
of orders SO far as the consumers care
to or may be induced to avail them
selves of its Offices; at the same time
requests of consumers for assistance
in the procurement of coal to meet
needs will be carefully investigated
by the Committee in order to see that
no consumer is receiving an undue
share of the available coal on the
market, but that, on the contrary, the
same shall be directed into the chan
nels where it will do the most to meet
the requirements of those who are
actually In need of coal to take care
of their present demands. This branch
of the subject will be carefully in
vestigated by the Committee, as it has
knowledge of the fact that in many
instances where the cost of coal rep
resents but small fraction of the cost
of manufacture of a given product,
induced by the feeling of anxiety as
to future supply, consumers have en-
deavored to accumulate large stocks
OF coal, even at excessive prices.
The Committee will meet regularly
once week, and oftener if necessary,
to give full attention to these matters.
In order to provide machinery to
take care Of the requests of consumers
on the Committee to assist in the pro-
curement of coal for shose who need
it, Charles S. Allen, the Secretary of
the Wholesale Coal Trade Association
of New York, and whom the ATTORNEY
General appointed as the Executive
Secretary of his committee, has been
asked to act as the Secretary of this
Emergency Committee and consumers
are invited to send their requests to
him at 80 West Street, New York Citv.
whence they will be transmitted to
the Committee for its prompt atten-
tion.
