D. c. BOOTLEGGERS
BLUSH WITH SHAME
Indignant at New Workers.
Betrayal of Trust in
$4,000 "SeII."

There is no honor among bootleggers
in Washington. ...
This is the indignant cry which has
gone up since two of New York's
light-fingered gentry outwitted boot
agency Of foreign legation, six bar
rels and a garage.
The web. it appears, was spun when
a garage, the property Of one Of the
foreign legations on fashionable 18th
street, was offered for rent a week
ago. Upon receiving an affirmative
reply to the inquiry as to whether the
building was convenient to a supply
OF water, two strangers took posses
sion and proceeded to board securely
all windows and to place a double
paddock on the door.
On the second day Of possession a
truck deposited six barrels in the
garage and on the third day the six
barrels were removed. after two
other individuals had paid visit to
the premises and had passed some
time in deliberation with the original
occupants.
Lessees Follow Their Barrels.
With the removal Of the barrels, the
lesses of the garage likewise disap-
peared after having removed the
boards from the windows and the
paddock from the door,
The mystery of the garage, the six
barrels and the two strangers was
deepened when legation officials
found upon inspection of the deserted
building half-f1lled glass of whisky
as the only evidence left of any pre-
vious occupancy.
Two days later the two visitors re-
ceived by the two strangers during
their rental OF the garage appeared
at the legation door. To a secretary
they said:
DO you know who those men were
to whom you rented your garage"
No"
False Crooks and False Bottoms.
''They were crooks They sold us
six barrels containing a LIQUID pur-
porting to be whisky for sc. 900.
The liquor which we sampled from
the tops Of the barrels was excellent
whisky, but it rested on artificial
bottoms. What we paid $4,000 for was

One of these pseudo bootleggers. it
Is believed. was the man who several
days ago entered a business house
on 18th street and asked the pro-
prietor if he would not like to buy
fifty gallons of good whisky. The
business man said he was not in the
market for such commodity
Can you change a $1,000 bill for
me. then asked the stranger. open
that determination could be seen seen u
II haven't that much money on
hand" demurred the business man.
"All right, just forget that you
ever saw me- said the stranger. with a
smile and walked out Of the store.

SUBSTITUTE BILL ENDS

The state of war with both Ger
many and Austria would be termi-
mated under a resolution reported to-
day by the Senate foreign relations

"SweIIing" on -Franklin's
Cheek of Blue Series
of 1919 Found,

Take a good look at your blue wal
savings stamps, series of 1919. and II
you discover that the left cheek OF
the image of Franklin thereon has a
pronounced swelling, the chance is
that the certificate Is counterfeit.
The post Office department today
called the attention of the Washing
ton city post Office to a dangerous
counterfeit of the blue war savings
stamp. series Of 1919, which has been
discovered.
The counterfeit Of the IS stamp is
printed from a steel plate on a good
grade OF paper, and is a close repro
ductlon OF the genuine. There are a
number OF defects, however, the most
prominent OF which are as follows:
Defects in Counterfeit.
LEFT cheek of Franklin has a pro-
nounced swelling.
Lower one of two left dots below
the portrait is comparatively indis-
tinct.
Vertical opening between the lines
in the lower left part Of the numera

The swelling is the most prorounc-

The chief of the secret service viii
send specimens Of the counterfeit
with a specimen Of the genuine, te
secret service operatives throughou,

The local city post office has beer
instructed to select an employe OF
known exceptional abilities, and have
MIN acquaint himself with the char
acteristics OF the counterfeit.
Examination Is Planned.

ployes-

waged late yesterday on an amend
ment offered by Representative

aff1liated with the A. +. Of L. This
amendment was defeated by a vote
of IS to %.

THE BAR OF
ELIzABETHTowN.

While litigation in Hardin county
has decreased materially in the last
few years Elizabethtown still main
tains and supports very able bar
Probablya decrease in civil practice
is due to the changed policy Of the
lawyers. They now all charge for
legal advice and as general pro-
position they not only tell their clients
what the law is but in many instances
prevent them from bringing suit by
their advice.
If the lawyers were only on the
lookout for money the dockets would
be crowded with cases and much
money would be wasted in cases that
would have no merit The lawyers.
however, while charging for advice,
save the citizens much money by
keeping them out of court and they
are too conscientious in the great
majority of cases to simply make
money in court trials where they
know there is little probability to win
ming actions.
The Elizabethtown bar has always
enjoyed splendid reputation as to
ability. Ben Hardin was at one time
a distinguished member of this bar
and Col. James w. Hays, who prac-
ticed at the same time with the "Old
Meat-Ax," said that he was so power
full before jury that he nearly always
got too much and the Court of APP
peals would then reverse his cases.
James B. Buchanan, afterwards
President of the United States, located
in Elizabethtown to practice law, but
after going through one term of court
he found so many able lawyers here
that he returned to Pennsylvania.
Judge A. B. Montgomery had the
largest practice at the bar in his day
and the people of the county had so
much confidence in him as man that
he enjoyed wonderful success. Col
William Wilson was a most noted
criminal lawyer and enjoyed unusual
success. He was also so successful
in suits against the L. & N. Railroad
that the company finally was forced
to secure him as its attorney.
Judge j. P. Hobson. was known as
one of the most profound lawyers
while he practiced here and maintain
ed his reputation in that respect dur
ing his sixteen years service on the
Appellate Bench.
Some people attempt to discredit the
legal profession and that comes about
by an occasional black sheep, but as
rule the Elizabethtown bar is COM
posed of as intelligent and honorable
citizens as can be found in the county.
