Blodgett Bill Assailed

at a hearing before the Assembly
Codes Committee on the Blodgett bill
taking from real estate brokers the
right to draw leases, mortgages and

Realtors from all sections of the
state appeared against the measure

ALBANY, Feb. Swords as soft as

temperate as that of the Volstead act
itself marked the hearing to-day on the
Mullan-Gage dry enforcement bills be-
fore the Senate Judiciary and the AS
sembly Excise committees.
During the last few years hearings
on dry legislation have drawn banner
crowds. People came from far and
near to witness these hearings, which
were nothing short of verbal slugging
matches between the drys and the vets.
Today's hearing was different af-

chamber were as few as the patrons
of saloon, and the men who last year
and the year before mauled each other
with forceful verbal blows confined
themselves to verbal footwork which
drew no more blood than does the av-

the outside of a little East Side black
smith shop at 1876 Attorney Street late
yesterday afternoon and looked on as
two husky blacksmiths did job for
two waiting customers.
When the job was completed the
piece of steel upon which sledge ham

wrapped in newspapers and handed

The detectives, convinced that the
blacksmiths had just turned out burg

The two men were warned, however,
by shout from three companions who
had been left outside, and as they saw
the detectives approach they took to
their heels.
Ten shots had been fired at the fugi-
tiVes when they darted into a tenement
house in Ridge Street and disappeared.

Many asiern Cities
Are Looked For Soon

CLEVELAND, Feb. 8.-The greatest
whisky conspiracy in the history of
the local Federal Court was disclosed
to-day with the arrest in Brooklyn. N.

chant; Bernard w. Levy and Virgil A.
Mcmahon, one-time Deputy United
States Internal Revenue Collectors in
charge of whisky permits for the
Brooklyn Federal District
Baron, Harry l.. Eastman. assistant
Federal attorney said tonight, obtained
a working agreement with Mcmahon
and Levy to get permits for removal
of liquor and that in other cities he
engineered the obtaining of permission
to allow the liquor to be shipped in
and sold.
The three men, with Adolph Click, a
Youngstown jeweler; Ike Simon and
Hyman Barnett, alleged confederates
in Pittsburgh, were indicted secretly
by the Cleveland Federal grand jury
on eight counts on January 81. They
were charged with conspiracy to violate
the national prohibition act and an at
tempt to bribe David y. Scott, Safety
Director, of Youngstown, to permit a
shipment of whisky, worth more than
100000, to be sold there.
Expect Sensations Soon =
Letters found in Baron's possession
when he was arrested in Youngstown
last May, Eastman said, suggest that
| formidable disclosures IN many cities
east of the Mississippi River may de-
velop soon.
The letters, according to Eastman

in Baron's pocket, signed and ready tc
mail. read in part:

inquiry into the Hylan investigation, it
was learned.
1t is planned simply to embarrass the
Republicans in both houses. Tammany

that County Chairman Samuel Koenig

Another development which may en-

he steadfastly refuses to discuss the
