The Bozeman courier. (Bozeman, Mont.) 1919-1954, 1921-05-25

The rate of gain over 1895 was 70
per cent in 1915 and 267 per cent in
1920, so that the gain of 70 per cent
in 20 years, from 1895 to 1915, was
followed by a gain of 1877 per cent in
five years, from 1915 to 1920, or
nearly three times as much in a quar-
ter as many years.
From 1915 to 1920, farm labor
working by the month without board
received gain in wage rate as high
as lis per cent. This was one of the
causes of the greatly increased cost
of producing things on the farm,
which has hit the farmer so hard in
the declining market for his crops of
1920. So high had the farm-wage
rates become in the last two or three
years that they were prohibitive in a
considerable degree when labor could
be found, and farmers more generally
depended exclusively on themselves
and members of their families, in ad-
diton to extending the use of labor
saving machinery.

DRY AGENTS SEIZE
TWO ASFORGERS
OF PRESCRIPTIONS
Prisoners Blamed for Flood Of
Real WhiSkey Sold in
Drug Stores.

Acting Prohibition Enforcement
Director Yellowley announced to- day
that his agents had made what will
probably prove to be the most i'm
portant arrests since the Office was
established when they took into Gus
tody last night two men giving the
names of George l.. Brown and Will
liam Burns. These men are held in
the Tombs to await arraignment.' :
fore United States Com ..er
Hitchcock tomorrow zig are
accused of distributing thousands of
quarts of legitimately released and
bonded whiskey through the medium
of forged doctors prescriptions.
Mr.. Yellowley discovered that New
York was flooded with forgeries some
time ago when he began a check up
OF doctors whose names were signed
10 prescriptions turned in by drug
gists, Agents John Kerrigan. Ave
Toplitz, Joseph Klein and Harry
Buckley were assigned to the Job of
getting at the source of the forgeries
How they got on the trail of Brown
and Burns has not been disclosed
But kerrigan got into the confidence
of the suspects and as part of his
! plan to trap them he planted the
three other agents in a Harlem drug
store, where Toplitz. under the name
of DR.. Lipman, posed as as a ply
sician and surgeon employed by the
store to attend to emergency cases
Last Wednesday evening, ACCORDING
to Mr. .Iellowley, Kerrigan met Brown
and Burns by appointment at the
| Pennsylvania Hotel. Previously the
pair had verified Kerrigan's asser.
ito nthat a DR.. Lipman in the Har.
lem drug store would circulate forged
prescriptions. Kerrigan, it is said
purchased six books of forged pre-
scriptions for $500. Each book called
for the release of 1872 pints of whis
key.
Why the men were not arrested
when the transaction was completed
is kept a secret by the Prohibition
authorities. They were kept undel
surveillance for some purpose anC
the arrests were not made until las
night.
