in the plant of the Liebmann Sons
Brewing Company, also in Brooklyn
Both these companies received from
Washington yesterday their permits to
manufacture and to bottle and sell
medicinal beer.
w. F. ]. Piel, general manager Of Pie
Brothers, said last night his company
was prepared to start bottling at once
nd that he expects to begin distribu-
ton tomorrow.
The beer will have a strength of from
AZ to 5,a per cent. by the volume oi
weight guage, and of from to 10 per
cent. proof.
Mr.. Piel said the retail price a bottle
will probably range from 20 to 30 cents

CALDER STRANGER
TO HIM, SAYS COHEN
New York Man Put OH Trial in
Liquor Bribery Disputes
Federal Agent.

Special Despatch to THE NEW YORK HERALD.
CINCINNATI, Nov. 9.-In the trial of
Louis Cohen of New York, president
of the New York Tunnel Trading Com
pany. charged with attempting to bribe
prohibition enforcement agents, Capt.
Robert Flora, chief of 1.-The local enforce
ment staff. testified that in the negotia-
tions preceding Cohen's alleged effort to
bribe him the defendant told him Sena-
tor Calder of New York was behind
him in his transactions.
After court closed for the day Cohen
was quoted as saying he did not make
the statement ascribed to him by Flora
involving the name of Senator Calder ::
that he did not know Senator Calder
and so far as he knew never had seen
him.
Mention of Senator Calder's name in
the testimony caused a sensation among
those pm the court room who previously
had heard Flora testify that Cohen
had told of being obliged to pay 81 to a
man connected with prohibition enforce
mcnt in the East as tribute on each
case of liquor he Withdrew from stor-
age and that the price was going to
$l5. the additional So being destined to
a Republican campaign fund In New
York. Since this alleged conversation
1t was brought out there had been a
shakeup in New York Federal prohibi-
ton forces
Captain Flora testified that the state
ment concerning Senator Calder was
made during a meeting attended by him
self, Cohen and Fred Counts. former
Prohibition Enforcement Agent az
Cleveland. in the Hotel Navarro, New
York. The dry officers were in New
York at the time investigating records
and accounts of the Tunnel Trading
Company and say they discovered evil
dence of prohibition violations and
fraudulently obtained permits for the
withdrawal of whiskey stored in ware
houses.
According to the testimony of Capt
Flora, Cohen was unnerved at this con-
ference and broke down. admitting that
the two Government men had all the
proofs against him and could hang
him if they wished" 1t was following
this collapse that Cohen first offered a
bribe of $4,000 to the two officers for
their silence and his immunity, the wit
ness said.
''You gentlemen are getting very
small salaries and you might just as
well have this money like the Others"
Cohen said, according to Capt. Flora's
testimony. "They are all doing 1t in
New York as well as in other places"
Flora said he and Counts refused to
