mack would not discuss the issue.
Federal prohibition enforcement
officers are understood to hold that
at least a part of this liquor was
brought to San Francisco from Los
Angeles in Arbuckle's automobile, in I
which he made the trip. Should this
be substantiated, Federal officers
said, the $4,000 car would be seized
by the Government.

cation reaches, spare no one" Nc
Cormack told his agents today. "The
guilty must be punished. The condi-
tions must be 30 changed that another
Fatty Arbuckle orgy will be rendered
impossible"
An indication that orders had como
from Washington 70 ra thorough
cleanup Of the whole situation was
seen not only in McCormack's activ-
