Distiliers Free of Tax
When Liquor Is Stolen
No Liability for Extra Lepy on
Withdrawn Stocks if Divert
ed, Ruling by DnngT.erty

WASHINGTON, May 2.--Dlstillers
are held exempt from extra taxes on
liquor withdrawn from warehouses for
non-beverage purposes if diverted by
theft to illegal uses, under an opinion
by Attorney General Daueherty, sub
mitted to Secretary Mellon and made
public tonight. The opinion was given
in response to a request of the Secre
tary for ruling as to the liability of
distilers for the so-called differential
tax on liquor when diverted from non
beverage purposes. The differcntial
tax on distilled spirits amounts to
$4.20 gallon, representing the differ
2nce between the beverage rate of $640
and the non-beverage rate of 1920.
In the absence of intention on the
part Of the distiller to evade the law
Mr.. Daugherty ruled, the differential
tax could not be applied if the liquor
was actually withdrawn for non-bev-
erage purposes.
However" he said, ain cases where
the distilled spirits are withdrawn for
non-beverage purposes and are sub
sequentlX diverted to beverage pur-
poses with the knowledge or connvance
of the distillers, it is my opinion that
tie distiler is liable for the so-called
ditferential tax, if there is shown TO be
reasonable presumption Of knowledge
on his part that such distilled spirits
would be diverted to other than non
beverage purposes by those coming into
possession of them"

Mrs. W ar.ner TO
Be Questioned
On Blacl11l1ail
Bronx CrandJ Juryto Keep Up
Hunt for Plotters When
Woman Tells Tomorrow
How Her Visitor Was Shot
Three Still Elude Police
Reid Continues to Gain and
Doctor Plans TO Operate ON
Eve and Head Wednesday

Whatever mystery still surrounds the
shooting of John H. Reid more than
week ago is expected to be cleared
away when Mrs. Hazel Davis Warner,
in whose home at 1892 University Ave
nue, he was shot, appears before the
Bronx grand jury tomorrow morning
10 tell her story of the affair. Reid's
condition continues to improve, al
though he is not out of danger.
Immediately after the shooting Mrs.
Warner. who is believed to be the only
eyewitness of the assault, disappeared.
For FIVE days the police looked for her
without success and then last Friday
afternoon she gave herself up and was
held in $4,000 bail as a material wit
ness. Don Collins or Robert A. Tour
billion, who is alleged by the author
tiles to have shot Reid, Francis T. Boy
Ian and Lila Wiley, the others wanted
by the police, are still being sought.
It is thought that they are in Phils-
delphia.
Besides a possible explanation of the
motive for the attack on Reid and the
naming of his assailant tomorrow, the
grand jury will hear more evidence as
to the existence of an organized group
of blackmailers in this city. Mrs. War
ner will be questioned on, this phase
of the sffray which developed during
the investigation.
Charles Leighton and the Misses
Audrey and Lila Lawrence, all of s
West Fifty-sixth Street, who have given
evidence concerning the activities of a
band which preyed on rich men in ex-
elusive hotels, on steamships, st fash
ionable resorts and elsewhere, will ap-
pear again before the grand jury to-
morrow. These witnesses were called
into the case to reveal whatever in
formation they had of the shooting,
and the account of the blackmaining
came out during their examination.
While there may be no opportunity for
prosecution in the Bronx, the inquiry
will be continued. The prosecuting au-
thorities in the Bronx say that they
are sure that much good will come of
the investigation. Already cases which
were said to be parts of the black
mailing schemes have baen dropped,
apparently because of what has been
revealed during the last week, officials
say.
DR.. Alexander Nicoll, who is attend
ing Reid, said last night that his pa
tient was still in serious condition,
although resting fairly comfortably.
He added that he probably would oper-
ate on Reid's eye and skull on Wednes-
day and that X-ray photographs would
be taken to-day

Cincinnati Supply Unchanged

CINCINNATI, May 22-The rcduc-
tion of the prohibition forces in greater
Cincinnati will! have little effect on
the liquor traffic situation, in the opin-
ion of George S. Hawkes., secretary of
the Hamilton County Good Citizenship
League, an opinion concurred in by
others who have been instrumental in
combating or promoting prohibition
violations here,
The supply OF whisky hero has not
increased to any noticeable extent.
Bottled in bond goods is higher to-day
than it was before the Presidential
election, when efforts were made to
cnrtail the illegal sales of whisky.
Moonshine whisky IS being manufac-
tured in large quantities and eventu-
ally will bring down the price of "red''
liquor, in the opinion of those close to
the market" Bootleggers are operat-
ing more prominently than heretofore.
The numerous whisky truck robberies
have added to the supply on the market,
but have had no effect on the price.
Herman IL. Berghegger, chairman OF
the Norwood Branch Of the National
Association against the Volstead act,
said to-day:
an my opinoin there is more moon
shine whisky being sold in Cincinnati
to-day than at any time since the pro-
hibition act when into force. The
number of "home- e-brew" manufacturers
has increased, while bootleggers are
more numerous than lawyers"

Little Change in st. Louis

ST. LOUIS, May 22,-The decrease in
the number of prohibition enforcement
agents in st. Louis and surrounding
territory has had little effect on the
extent of liquor sales. and the subse-
quent cases of intoXication. There are
still five agents operating in st. Louis
under the direction of Charles M. Will
Jams. In East st. Louis, ILL.,, where the
flowing bowl was always we'll filled be-
fore the days of Volsteadism, M. T.
Higgins, in charge of prohibition en-
forcement for forty-five counties in
consin will be arid in month when
the new blanks for physicians and
druggists are printed. The measure
was put over by the Anti-Saloon
League.
Moonshine continues cheap because
there is SO much competition among
the manufacturers, who are cutting
prices.

CLEVELAND, May 22-The effect on

General Daugherty's order will not les

here if the Cuyahoga County Dry
Maintenance League can help it.

c: Southwell, secretary of the league,
who added that workers of the league
will make survey beginning early
this week.

MARYLAND Drvs Appeal 60 Kramer

BALTIMORE, May ga request for
the concentration of Federal prohibi-
tion agents in this state to preclude
the possibility of bootleggers running
wild in the absence of workers fur
loughed through lack of funds has
been sent to Commissioner Kramer by
George w. Crabbe, state superintend-
ent of the Maryland Anti-Saloon
League.
In his letter Mr.. Crabbe wrote: els
it possible to have some of the men in
other states brought here to check the
threatening era of lawlesness? l
am told we are going to have more
drunkenness, with possible shooting
and murder, than for long time.
"The bootleggers all know the situa-
tion and unless something is done hell
will break loose"
Bootleggers in Baltimore are going
along with the business in their usual
manner.

Milwaukee Prices STAY Up

MILWAUKEE, May %, Booze is Just
as costly in Milwaukee as a week ago.
Fair stuff, that looks as if it might
be genuine, still brings SIS a quart,
and the moonshine IS selling for Is
cents a drink in some districts.
Lack of Federal prohibition officials
makes no difference to Wisconsin. The
state has been bound by state law,
called the Mulberger measure, and
since this went into effect policemen
and state officers have united in the
war on the liquor traffic. 1t is no
uncommon sight to see ten or more
violators fined $3.50 and costs each day
in Milwaukee. The Mulberger law for
bids the manufacture and sale of any
thing containing over 2A per cent
alcohol
Last week the eMatheson law, super
seding the Mulberger law, was passed
by the state Legislature. Under it ap-
plicants for prescriptions must swear
as to their ailment and sign their
names to prescription blanks. Wis

Real Beer in New Orleans

NEW ORLEANS, May 22.-There
were more intoxicated men on the
streets of New Orleans during the early
hours of to-day than there have been
since national prohibition went into
effect. Most of the consumption of in
toXicants here was limited to per
cent beer, which was sold in practically
all soft drink stands and restaurants.
Twelve men were taken to Jail charged
with being drunk.
The lifting of the lid has had no
effect on the price. Real beer is SELL
ing for 5 cents a glass, pints for 20
cents. Moonshine or overnight whisky
costs from Sd to S6 q quart Canadian
Club, Raleigh Rye and the others, $40
to SIS. Claret wine is from So to IS a
gallon.
