NEW YORK. Nov. 1s.-when the
ancient and secret order Of Hooch
Gazzlers .convenes In solemn, OATH
bound conclave its members may feel
safe from the prying eyes Of rum
hounds" who might attempt to spoil
the party by uncaremoniously seizing
the liquid refreshments and dragging
those present off to the hoose-gow. In
other cities, where ordinary prohibit
ton officers enforce the eighteenth
commandment" this feeling of safety
might be justified; no 20 here.
For Ixzy Einstein. the one-man
booze squad. chameleon-like masquer-
ader Of the dry forces may be expect
ed to drop in anywhere from an exclu-
sive party in a Fifth avenue million
aires residence to a private gathering
of East Side ward heelers. No amount
of caution. no amount of secrecy can
insure the prohibition lawbreakers
against the sudden and dramatic an
nouncement Of this dry sleuth that he
IL Izzy Einstein and that those present
can prepare for heavy fine or
durance vile.
A Masquerader.
When a group Of convivial souls get
together at the most exclusive clubs
for actors to imbibe q nip of Scotch
or synthetic Johnny Walker nobody
can say for a certainty that Izzy may
not be among them, dressed In formal
glad rags and chattering of props and
scenery and "the profesh.'

rayed in all the sombre habiliments OF
that morbid trade. and few indeed
would recognize In this solemn young
man anything but a business-like NOR

When Izzy fares forth In pursuit Of
| the Demon Rum said d. r. must do

detective of the prohibition forces. His
latest stunt was to appear on the
big football field In Van Courtlandt
Park disguised as four.elevenths Of a
football team. The soiled and grim
faced warriors, with headgear tilted
back and noseguards hanging from
their belts, were none other than the
famous Izzy Einstein squad. At a lit
| tie cafe near the park the four men
roughly ordered the waiter to bring
whisky and to hurry 1t up. Others at
the bar were convinced their order
sounded almost like a college yell and
that these were indeed and truly vet
Grams of the gridiron.
Highball Stars.
Eddie, the waiter. saw too late that
these were highball and not football
stars AS it was he went unsuspect-
ineIy to his doom-somewhere In the
back room-and returned with three
small glasses One of the gridiron he
roes handed Eddie $3.50 to pay the
S2.25 bill and waited patiently for his
quarter back.
-eight-seven-twof" shouted one
of the men, and at the signal the team
got into action like a perfectly-oiled
machine, despite the fact none had
touched the fabrication in the glasses
before them. Izzy impounded the evi-
dence, and Eddie was turned over to
the police on a charge OF violating the
well-known Volstead act,
In his comparatively brief career
Izzy has impersonated a policeman, a
politician, a movie actor, a newspaper
reporter, a fireman, truck driver
and longshoreman. His next may be
a female impersonation-
