Check Of Recovered
Mail Train Loot to Be
Made in Bluffs Today

Federal officers announced last
night that all the money recovered
at various times since the big mail
robbery in Council Bluffs Saturday
night would be counted some time
today.
It was planned to check up on the
amount recovered last night, but
the fact that some of the officers
who found the money were not in
Council Bluffs at the time forced
the delay.
1T is necessary for the men who
recovered the money to be present
when it is counted so they may iden-
tify it as the money found by them"
federal officer explained last night.
THE officers who recovered it
will be in Council Bluffs tomorrow
and then we will know the exact
amount of the stolen loot which has
been recovered"

New York Bartenders,
Pinned for Sleuths,
Wait in Vain for Raid

New York, Nov. 20-Thousands
Of bartenders in the city of New
York leaned on their elbows today
on bars which glistened only with
drops of ginger ale, where yesterday
there was whisky, and gazed pas
sively at the swinging doors swing,
expecting their places to be raided.
But they waited in vain. And
many thought with sorrow of the
business they might have done at
from 50 cents to 81 glass if they
had only known.
For late last night word went out
to the faithful few that there was to
be a general descent of police and
men from the offices of the district
attorneys of the FIVE counties in an
effort to do what the federal agents
have found impossible-make New
York dry.
While the city's bartenders were
gazing wistfully at the street think
ing of better days, lie Roy w. Ross,
United States district attorney for
Brooklyn. was making known just
low utterly the effort to enforce
prohibition here has failed.
There are 1900 saloons openeiy
selling liquor in defiance of the law
in Brooklyn alone, Ross has an.
nounced.

On Wet Charges
60 Indicted by Grand Jury.
38 Others Arrested; Pleas
Will Be Heard
Monday.

Pleas of 107 alleged violators OF
the prohibitory law will be heard
in federal court Monday.
Sixty-nine have been indicted by
grand jury on a charge of manufac-
turing liquor. Thirty-eight have been
arrested on information relative to
sale or possession of liquor for
which indictments are not necessary.
Federal Prohibition Director Han
ley stated today that the United
States district attorneys office would
join him in demanding Jail sentences
rather than fines for those who enter
a plea of guilty Monday.
Fines are merely license for
carrying on the liquor business. the
same as they used to pay in the day
of high license" Hanley said today
But jail sentences place them in the
same category as criminals break
ing other laws and will do much
more to stop this business than
fines"
1t was expected by federal authori-
ties that great many OF those ar
raigned in court Monday will plead
not guilty.
