s2,o00,ooO SPURIOUS
RUM STAMPS SEIZED
Huge Stock of Counterfeit Whiskey
Labels Taken in the Imperial
Press.

New York, July 27.-Counterfeit
$2,oo0,ooo. forged whiskey labels.
dies. cuts and printing presses were
seized by Secret Service men and
by the police late yesterday in the
plant of the Imperial Press at SO
Ann street and store room on the
top floor at AZ Fulton street
So. far as is known this was the
biggest haul of it's kind made since
prohibition went into effect The raids
were the result of a tip received ten
days ago by Detective Sergeant Mich
ael Fiaschetti. From the stock on
hand it was evident that the traffic
had been going on for months It
took two trucks to carry the seized
property to headquarters. Three men
were arrested at the Ann street adj
dress, but nobody was found in the
Fulton street store ROOM
Detectives and Secret Service agents
went to the Imperial Press offices only
to find it locked. The door was forced,
ises. Many thousands of labels were
found of the variety used on whis-
key and other liquor bottles to give
the contents the genuine appearance.
Concealed in boxes were dies and
cuts which could not be distinguished
from those used by the federal gov
eminent. Two printing presses in the
plant had been used to turn out the
forged papers by the thousands, and
there was evidence that the machines
had been in almost constant use
night and day to supply the demand
of numerous bootleggers in this vi
entity. Forged labels of choice
brands were found. and it is we'll
known that liquor purchased for gen
uine goods has borne such labels only
to be found later to be of the hooch
variety.

X. X. X. NOTE WARNS
CAPPER NEWSPAPER
Writer Protests Laying
of All Attacks by Masked Men
to the Khan

Topeka, Kas., July 27.-'Let this
be a warning to over anxious un-
scrupulous and prejudiced newspaper
reporters-The Ku Klux Khan"
This is the way an anonymous let
ter ends that has been received by
Senator Arthur Capper's daily paper
in protest against the publication Of
accounts of crimes committed by
masked men. In the publication of
an article of this kind several days
ago Senator Capper's paper carried
the heading. Daily Crime Score of the
Ku Klux Khan"
The writer of the anonymous letter
objects to charging masked attacks
against the Khan. The writer also as
serts that Topeka already has Khan
in which some of the citys strongest
businessmen are members. In this
connection the letter says:
1.-THE Ku Klux Khan has come to
stay. They are in our very midst today.
1t members are some of your strongest
and most laW-respecting citizens. They
realize the impossibilty of the police
force being able to cope with such 4
situation as presented to the United
States today
The writer of the letter sees no
harm in the work the real agents Of
the invisible empire" are doing. In
this connection he says:
What crime is involved in the
statement, Beware evil doers,' Pray
do not be too hasty in misjudgin
this great organization that is doing
the best to support the law in such
times of dire need and stress"

other city, is said to have been some
thing of a surprise to the school COM
