AGENTS FACE
ARREST IN RUM RING
Confession of the Former New
York Broker Is Scattered
Broadcast by Authorities.

Chicago-That government agents
are involved in the gigantic whisky
ring, which Is said to have operated
throughout the United States, was ap-
parent when three John Doe warrants
for the arrest of prohibition or rev.
enue agents were asked Of United
States Commissioner Lewis Mason by
Frank D. Richardson, special federal
investigator.
Sadler. pale, haggard and closely
guarded by secret service men. was
brought into the Federal Building and
taken before the grand jury. His tes-
timony was brief
Immediately after he testified there
were signs Of conflict between Mr.
Richardson and United States District
Attorney Charles F. Clyne over prose-
cution Of the whisky ring principals
Richardson, who has worked up all OF
the evidence in the big liquor expo
sure, attempted to get the entire con-
fession of Sadler before the federal
grand jury. He did get Sadler into
the jury room. Fifteen minutes later
Mr.. Clyne appeared took Sadler out
Of Richardson's custody and placed
him under the guard of men attached
to the district attorneys office.
Just before Richardson took Sadler
to the grand jury room Clyne had de-
MED that the man was in the custody
Of the intelligence department or that
he would be placed before the grand
jury. Mr.. Clyne also declared his in
tention of getting Sadler to "retract
some of his statements" before maxi
ing his confession public
-Four politicians are said to be in-
volved in the confession.
Sadler is said to have told the jury
something of his dealings with the

were shipped the supplies of Old
Grand Dad whisky, seizure of which
brought about his confession. Sadler
said his deal was made with Otto Fl.
Wathen, secretary of the Wathen
Company, Of which Otho's brother, r.
e. Wathen, Is president.

ten minutes after District Attorney

BAN ON PERMITS
FOR LIQUOR
U. S. Prohibition Commissioners
Kramer Takes Power From Re-
gional Enforcement Officials.
WITHDRAWALS TOO FREE.
Under New Orders All Permits VIII
Be Issued from HE Office in Wash
lngton.-Large Withdrawals Dur
Ing National Convention.

Washington.-Rep violations Of
the prohibition law through the oper-
alton of the permit system for the re-
moval of intoxicants from bonded ware
houses caused Prohibition Commission
er Kramer to issue sweeping order
divesting all regional enforcement Of
ficials of the power to issue permits
Under Commissioner Kramer's order
-nlI permits hereafter will be isued sole
ly by him or from his Office in Wash
Ington. This will apply to permits is
sued in 1921 as we'll as to renewals
of permits already issued.
1t was learned at Commissioner
Kramer's Office that long list of vio-
lations of the permit regulations led
him to take this drastic step. Two
notable examples which have been
brought to his attention were the with
drawals from bonds of large supplies
Of liquor for the Republican convention
In Chicago and the Democratic conyen-
tion in San francisco.
At the time of the Chicago conven-
tion, according to the reports to Com
missioner Kramer, 5000 cases of cham
pagne were taken from bond and sent
to one of the leading hotels for the use
of convention guests. The champagne
was Withdrawn on perlnita stamped
"For medicinal purposes"
In San Francisco forty barrels Of
whiskey were taken from bond on a
permit issued to the municipal health
officer and is understood to have been
consumed during the convention period
Both of these cases are ..ow under
Investigation by the revenue depart
ment officials.
1t is asserted that under the strict
terms Of the order Just issued such yio-
lations of the Yolstead act cannot oc-
cur. Every application for a with
d1awal permit will be subjected to se-
we're scrutiny ard 1t is entirely prob
able that the tttal number for 1921 will
be far less than the number issued this
year.
The change in the regulations ef-
fected by Commissioner Kramer will
make 1t necessary for him TO have an
increased force In the Washington Of
fee. This will be impressed upon Con.
gress when ,he demand for an in
creased appropriation for prohibition
enforcement is presented.
Commissioner Kramer's recent order
temporarily stopping all Withdrawals
from bond, had an unfortunate and un-
foreseen effect on industry, according
to reports received at the Office. Many
of the local prohibition officials inter-
preted the order to apply to releases
of grain alcohol for pharmaceutical
and chemical purposes. The result was
that many of the foremost maLufac-
turers of drugs md chemicals in the
country were forced TO suspend busi-
ness or greatly reduce their output for
lack of alcohol.
A steady foiT of protests against
such an Interpretation of the law mas
come to Commits Toner kramer's office
as result of this order.

THURE was little change in the
formation Of the gorge; it
stll wound it's erratic course
between precipitous cliffs.
In places II widened obt and again
1t became very narrow and al
ways deeper the further south they
travelled. Presently the bottom Ct the
gorge began TO slope more rapidly.
Here and there were indications Of
ancient rapids and waterfalls. The
trail became more difhcult but was
we'll marked and showed indications
Of great antiquity and in places the
handiwork of man. They had pro-
ceeded for a half or three-quarters Of
a mile when. at turning OF the gorge.
Tarzan saw before him a narrow val
ley cut deep into the living rock OF
the earth's crust with lofty mountain
rahges bounding 1t upon the south.
HOW far II extended east and west he
could not see, but apparently II was
no more than three or four miles
across from north to south.
That it was o well-watered valley
was indicated by the wealth Of Vege-
tation that carpeted its floor from the
rocky cliffs upon the north to the
mountains on the south.
Over the edge OF the cliffs from
which the ape-man viewed the valley
trail had been hewn that led Down
ward TO the base. Preceded BY the
lion Tarzan descended into the valley
which, at this point, was forested
with large trees. Before him the trail

the valley. Raucous-voiced birds of
brilliant plumage screamed among the
branches while innumerable monkeys
chartered and scolded above him.
The forest teemed with life and yet
there was borne in upon the ape-man
q sense of unutterabie loneliness. a
sensation that he never before had
felt In his beloved jungles. There was
unreality in everything about him.
in the valley itself, lying hidden and
forgotten in what was supposed to be
an arid waste. The birds and the
monkeys, while .similar in type to
many with which he was familiar
were identical with none, nor was
the vegetation without its idiosyn-
crasies. 1t was as though he mad
been suddenly transported to an
other world and he felt strange
restlessness that might easily have
been a premonition OF danger.
Fruits were growing among the
trees and some of these he saw that
Manu-, the monkey, ate. Being hungry
he swung to the lower branches and
/ amidst O great chattering of the
monkeys, proceeded to eat such OF the
| fruit as he saw the monkeys ate lr
safety. When he had partially sa'io-
fed his hunger. for meat alone could
fully do SO. he looked about him fo'
Numa Of the pit TO discover that th'
lion had gone.

so far with the single exception OF
the attack made upon him they hau
no reason to believe that they might
not receive fair treatment from their
captors, and so he reasoned that 10
might be wiser to avoid antagontzinS
them until such time as he became
thoroughly convinced that their in
tentions were entirely hostile. He
saw the girl led from the building and
just before she disappeared from his
view she turned and waved her hand
to him:
Good luckl" she cried. and wss
gone.
The lions that had entered tbs
building with the party had, during
their examination by the man at tho
table, been driven from the apartments
through a doorway behind him.
Toward this same doorway two of the
men now led Smith Oldwick. HO
found himself in a long corridor from
the sides of which other doorways
! opened, presumably into other apart
ments of the building. At the far end'
of the corridor he saw a heavy graf
ing beyond which appeared an open
courtyard. Into this courtyard the
| prisoner was conducted and as he en-
tered It with the two guards he found
himself in an opening which was
| bounded by the inner walls of thS
building. 1t was in the nature Of a
| garden In which a number Of trees
and Towering shrubs grew. Beneath
several OF the trees were benches and
| there was a bench along the south
wall, but what aroused his most inn
mediate attention was the fact that
the lions which had assisted In their
capture and which had accompanied
them upon the return to the city. lay
| sprawled about upon the ground or
| wandered restlessly to and fro.'
Just inside the gate his guard
halted. The two men exchanged \
few words and then turned and re-
entered the corridor. The Eng1ishman
was horror stricken as the fIll reafiza-
tion of his terrible plight forced itself
upon his tired brain. He turned and
seized the grating in an attempt 70
open It and gain the safety of the
corridor, but he found II securely
locked against his every effort. and
then he called aloud to the retreatinG
figures of the men within. The only
reply he received was a high-pitched,
mirthless laugh, and then the two
passed through the doorway at the
far end of the corridor and he was
alone with the lions.
