Edwin Waters, chief prohibition en-
forcement agent for the western dis
trict of New York. with headquarters
in Buffalo, yesterday swooped down
with almost 100 men upon Yonkers,
whose wet wickedness recently has
been called to the attention of the
world by William Fl. Anderson, state
superintendent of the Anti-Saloon
League. He raided thirty-one saloons
and arrested twenty-five men.
MI Waters, who acted in coopera-
tion with Mayor Walling and Maurice
d. O'Keefe, Commissioner Of Public
Safety, declared that the recent state
ments of the state superintendent OF
the Anti-Saloon League about Yonkers
had nothing to do with the case. Mayor
agreed with him cordially.
The raid had been arranged, they
said, without word to Mr.. Anderson;
it had been authorized by the chief
prohibition enforcement agent of this
city, and the men from Buffalo had
been called upon to act because they
were unknown in Yonkers and the
probability Of their intentions becom-
ing known in advance would be slight.
Agents Use Motor Cars
The prohibition agents went by twos
and threes in motor cars to the places
which were to be searched. Each of
the thirty-o one searching parties had a
warrant and each was under instruc-
tions to wait until the hour appointed
to enter the place to be searched.
When that time came the ninety
men from Buffalo walked into the va
rious saloons named"in their warrants
and within ten minutes the whole af-
fair virtually was over with scarcely
q person on the streets cognizant Of
the fact that it had taken place.
Six Of the places searched yielded no
liquor and at two of them the raiders
were baffled temporarily. One of the lat
ter was Henry Dietrich's saloon at 105
Yonkers Avenue. The searchers found
nothing discriminating in the place, but

Finance Budget Under Fire
Mayor Orders Hirshfield to In
vesigate Estimates

David Hirshfeld, Commissioner of
Accounts. was directed by Mayor Hv-
ian yesterday to make an investigation
Of the budget estimates of the Finance
department. When the budget esti-
mates for 1921 OF the Finance Depart
ment came up for consideration bv
the budget committee of the Board Of
Estimate last week, the examiner as
signed to the task of reporting on the
estimates Of that department told the
committee that he was unable to make
any recommendations for the reason
that the Comptroller conducted his de-
partment in such way that no one
else knew anything about it,
Mayor Hylan then announced his in
tentlon of having the Commissioner Of
Accounts look into the estimates and re-
port on them. This had been attempted
before, he said, but the ComDtroller re-
fused the examiner from the Commits
sioner of Accounts information and ac-
cess to his books and papers. Commits
sioner Hirshfeld said yesterday he
would "try again" to carry out the
Mayors orders, and serve 8 subpnna
on the Comptroller if necessary.

The newt story: Buster Bear Forgets
All His Troubles"
New-York tribune., 1920-10-12

Poor disappointed Buster Bear. He
actually whimpered, which is as near
as buster ever comes to crying. when
ne discovered that the hollow in that
pee tree was empty. He guessed RIGHT
away who had emptied it. 1t was
Farmer Browns boy. Buster didn't
nave the least doubt of that. Farmer
Browns boy had found that honey and
taken it away.
tie might have left a little for me,
Just wee bit" muttered Buster in his
d,eep rumbly, grumbly voice as he
ilcked the inside Of that hollow with
ms tongue, trying to get just taste.
lie didn't need all that honey" CON
tinued Buster. Hes the preediest
fellow in all the Great World. That's
what he is-the Greediest fellow in all
the Great World. And he's robber.
tie robbed me of that honey. He saw
me up here and he drove me away and
then robbed me-"
busters memory was short. He had
quite forgotten that Farmer Browns
boy was the one who found the tree
and that he, Buster, might never have
found it had he not followed Farmer
Brown boy and been watching him
when he found the tree And when Won
thini, of it, it was funny for Buster
10 can Farmer Browns boy greedy for
had Buster had the chance he wouldn t
have left so much as one good lick
inside that hollow But disappointed
people seldom are reasonable.
Grumhling and growing Buster Bear
Climbed down that tree. The smell Of
that honey and the wee tastes he had
managed TO get made him hungrer than
ever for a feast of honey. lie felt that
ne Just had TO have some. And then
as he landed on the ground he remem
bered something. He remembered
those other bee trees he had found, by
following Farmer Browns boy.
Busters face suddenly frightened.
"Why didn't ! think of them before >"
he grumbled. Then his face clouded
again. He remembered Farmer Browns
boy. Perhaps the latter had already
been to those trees and taken all the
honey. The very thought made Buster
growl, and 1T was a deep, ugly-sound-
ing grow. Just thinking of Farmer
Browns boy made him feel ugly.
Stopping only to lick up drop Of
honey where Farmer Browns boy had
filed one of his pals the morning of
that very day Buster started for the
second bee tree. He shufHed along

Mr.. Dietrich scratched his head and

large tin cans which bore no labels and

there and never had called for them.
The prohibition agents opened one of
the cans. Its contents smeled like
whisky and tasted like whisky, so they

ton Similar action will be taken in
regard to universal training and the
soldiers land settlement projects.
; As the average period of service was
eight months, a $50 bond for each
month will, they argue, do them rough
injustice. They say they would rather
have the bonds than cash. and that as
the bonds will be issued directly to
them they will not have any adverse
effect on the financial conditions of
the country at this time, though they
admit that temporarily even direct
bond issue may tend to lower the mar.
ket prices of Liberty bonds. While
the legion men coneede that there will
be general tendency for the recip,
tents of the proposed bonds to dis
count them for cash, they hope to offset
that tendency by a propaganda in ia
vor of holding them.
The executive committee ascertaineC
that the legion was more than $500 ,00t
in debt, the deficit being largely at
tributed to the cost of publishing the
American Legion Weekly, and it wa.
voted to retire the whole management
and staff of the Weekly and appoint
committee of advertising and editor
ial experts to decide the sort of a pub
lication with which to replace the pres
ent one.
