New York, Sept 16.-CUnited
Press.)-A huge liquor manufactur-
ing organization. employing hun
dreds and operating Illicit whole
sale drug stores has been discov-
cred by federal prohibition en-
forcement leaders here, it was
learned today.
This organization has been feed
ing the entire United States with
whisky, gin and rum supposed TO
have been smuggled into the coun-
try, but which, in reality, was man
ufactured here and sold with fake
London" and Cuban" labels.
One arrest already has been made
and the entire band is under sur
veillance.
E. c. Yellowley, associate en-
forcement director, sent here from
Washington, told of the operations
OF the band.
When we have cleaned ont these
illicit wholesale druggists the work
OF enforcing prohibition will be
easy" he said. Practically all of
the liquor now in circulation in
New York comes from this source.
1t is also shipped to other parts of
the country.
There are some smugglers in
operation" Yellowley declared,
but most of the stories of rum
running have been exaggerated.
These druggists have obtained
permits to obtain alcohol. They
have set in a small line of staple
drugs to make their places look
legitimate. We have discovered
they are operating drug stores on
wheels. carting their small line of
goods from one place TO another
when prohibition agents come
around for inspection.
I'VE have evidence that they
have attempted to bribe our agents
We have already arrested one man
who offered $500 bribe and actu-
ally gave S400
They take alcohol and by a sim
pie process manufacture gin for the
most part. Gin is easiest made
but rum and a certain sort of
whisky can be made.
They have had printed Gordon
Gin labels and 'Bicardi Rum la
bels-exact duplicates of the or
iginals."

the Office of George B. Gillespie,
one of his lawyers, across the street
from the court house.
