SEEKS THE RETURN
OF SE|zEDu|QUOR

Fred J. Hughes. an ice dealer of
Georgetown, claims to own the 1877
cases of whisky which the police and
internal revenue operatives recently
took possession of in a raid on a
warehouse at Camp Leach, near
American University. Mr.. Hughes
filed in the District Supreme Court to-
day q suit in replevin against Capt.
William F. Falvey of the seventh pre-
cinct, where the whisky is said to be
stored: Maj. Pullman, as superintend-
ent of police, and Edwin B. Hesse. as
property clerk of the police depart
ment.
Mr.. Hughes Declaration.
Mr.. Hughes says his property was
unlawfully taken and is being held
illegally. He places a valuation of
$4,000 on the wet goods and esti-
mates that he has been damaged to
the extent Of 81. 900 by the detention.
He furnished a bond and United
States Marshal Splain sent deputies
with Attorneys A. L. Newmyer and J.
to the seventh precinct to take over
the whisky pending further order of
the court.
Police Puzzle Solved.
Until Mr.. Hughes suit was filed the
police were at loss to determine the
ownership of the whisky. With the
release last night of James c. Mil
stead of 1858 Wisconsin avenue, who
was held for investigation in this case
by the police, and who proved no con-
nection with 1t, Inspector Grant of
the detective bureau, cooperating
with revenue agents. directed a
search with a view to establishing
identity of the owner of the whisky

Appeals to Foreign workerx.
The communist labor group was
said to have directed it's Propaganda

never be respected by the appointed

Mr. Garvan made public information
