KRAMER LIFTS LID
40 DAYS; NO FUNDS
Prohibition Enforcement Cur
tailed by Dropping Two
Thirds Of Force.
pecial Desratch 10 THE NEW YORK HERALD.

Special Desratch to THE NEW YORK HERALD.
New York Herald Bureau.
Washington, u. G., MAY IN.
Prohibition enforcement by Federal
agents practically will cease for forty
day period beginning May 90. Orders
have been sent out by Prohibition Com
missioner Kramer ordering the FUR
Ioughs OF two-thirds. or nearly 700. OF
the thousand or more agents and in
spectors engaged in enforcement work.
Action was taken because the annual
appropriation of the prohibition office OF
81. 1000 and the additional deficiency
appropriation Of s1,40O, 900 have both
been exhausted and additional money Is
not available.
The only relief that can be given lies
in Congress. which must, IL anything Is
done appropriate q new deficiency sum
on its own initiative without an estimate
or request from the Treasury. Drys in
the House may undertake TO insert an
appropriation in the second deficiency
hill which comes up before that body to-
morrow.
Prohibition enforcement officials say
the situation 50 far as enforcement
work is concerned is grave. lhey rear
q reign OF bootleggns, but declare the
greatest Gala NIFTY will result from PROP
nble permanent loss OF their trained and
best mon on enforcement work

VIII not be as disastrous as elsewhere
Tor the reason that practically all
agents and inspectors were withdraT Tn
from work in the city some time ago
when Commissioner Enrisht and the
loca police began their active and seri-
Gus campaign of prohibition enforce
ment.
Withdrawal OF men from New York
city greatly strengthened conditions in
other sections. One effect in New York,
however. Will be the loss of men there
who would be the princip witnesses
for the Government in enforcement

CHICAGO, May 1S.--Liauor graft and
corruption involving millions of dollars
and rum running plot linking the
names of three Representatives in Con-
cress. Government officials, state lcgis-
lators and policemen are to be hauled
into the light of day in the greatest
scandal revealed in Chicago since the
advent of prohibition.
Col A. c. Earnshaw. directing the in
teiligence section OF the prohibition en-
forcement officers, brought to close
to-day an investigation he has conducted
here for two months and made ready to
turn over his evidence to the Federal
prosecutors.
As the investigation ended six more
prohibition enforcement agents were
added to the list OF seventy discharged
yesterday
At the same time Federal Prohibition
Director Ralph w. Stone. already re-
lieved of his most important task, an
nounced he would leave the Government
service and retire TO private practice
within two weeks.
Chicago, it was declared by Col. Earn
shaw was found to be honeycombed
with graft Forty distinct bands, sys-
tematically organized, have been en-
gagged In glganIc snake dow ~ eAtof-
tion plots, which have wrung money
from saloon keepers, druggists. hotels
and even individuals whose stock" was
of sufficient size.
1t was said there was no one man In
Chicago who might be called the booze
king. 1t was grinly added that there
were enough booze princes. dukes and
barons to make UP for the absence of
a king.
The names Of the three Representa-
tives could not be revealed at this time.

Why This Opportunity
Is Offered

Our great readjustment sale last
Autumn anticipated the radical
reductions along all lines that
have followed. In consequence we
are. and for several months have
been, on reconstructed price
basis.
We realize. however, that unusual
values must still be presented in
order to appeal to the widespread
spirit of economy.
We decided to create such an op-
portunity, by reducing our discon-
tinued fabrics and patterns, and
such seasonable goods, which. if
not sold now, would remain in
stock for some time, to prices
which would make certain their
sale by June 30th.
Our further desire was to bring our
establishment, it's resources, and the
attractive prices of our merchandise to
the attention of those who, for some
reason, may not have visited US before.

Unfavorable comment upon New Jer-
sey's new enforcement law, the Van
Ness act, was continued yesterday in a
statement from Judge p. r. DAILY in New
Brunswick, who holds that the law re-
duces the illegal salae of Intoxicating
liquor from crime to mere disorderly

Oriental Rugs

If We were TO he guided only by the
conditions prevailing at this time in the
rug weaving countries Of the East, we
would be justified in advancing rather
than reducing the prices of this mer-
chandise. While it is true that medic
ere rugs, tho dregs of the market, col
lected and brought here because of the
wartime scarcity, can be purchased
now at lower prices than previously,
the conditions as to fine examples are
even more chaotic than during the war
disturbance. Careful, supervised manu-
facture by the skilled weaver is prac-
ticaIiy nil and as ii requires from eight
to eighteen months 10 make and trans
port room size rug to this market, it
requires no great knowledge of the
business to realize that prices must re-
main stable for some time to come.
We list below but q few Of the rugs
now offered, including:
