Will ORDER SEARCH
FOR CACHED LIQUOR
Thousands Of Cases Hidden In
earnegat and Cape May Point
Sand Dunes, Is Belief
o. s. AGENT oUIzzEs eRoB

Information that thousands Of cases
Of contraband whisky are cached In the
sand dunes between Barnegat and Cape
May Point is In possession Of the Gus
tom authorities and 1t is quite likely
the Government will order a search In
attempt TO unearth the hidden liquor.
Custom Inspector u. G. Agney. who
has been assigned to special duty In
connection with the smuggling charges
against certain schooners, made a secret
visit to Toms River. ". j.. where An
drew Grob, part owner Of the Extra
Dry Cafe Of Atlantic City, is In Jail
serving a three month sentence for
having liquor illegally in his possession.
Agney refused to discuss his visit ex :
cept to say he was working under In :
structions from the Collector Of Port
and that he had seen and talked to
0rob. He revealed no part Of their
conversation.
Following .Asney's visit to Toms
River It was learned that tho John W.
Maxwell and George Walsh arrested in
connection with Grob's case were sup
posed to be J. G.. Grassland and DR..
Holden, residents OF Miami, Fla, whom
the Federal authorities are seeking in
connection with the seizure of the
schooner Henry L. Marshall. Il is
known that Maxwell and Walsh answer
in detail the description of Grassland
and Holden.
The Government authorities are
checking up on both Maxwell and Walsh,
who gave addresses in Atlantic City.
However, the Toms River authorities
firmly believe that Maxwell was the
skipper of the Henry L. Marshall. They
have checked up on information that
Maxwell is the son of q postmaster at
Wading River. near New Gretna. y.
J., but will not reveal whether or not
he is the same person they have in tolls
along with Grob.
Today County Prosecutor Henry T.
Plumer admitted that the Federal au-
thorities had been inquiring into the ar
rest of Grob and that Customs Inspec-
tor Agney had been given a transcript
Of the courts testimony.
IT don't know what steps the Fed
eral authorities contemplate taking
here" said Prosecutor Plumer. "One
Of the agents was here TO see me, and

may be lodged against some one, but

ANOTHER SHAKE-UP
H|NTED BY TEMPEST
Wholesale Shift of Police Lieu-
tenants and Sergeants viii
Be Made, Is Belief
INCLUDES MANY DISTRICTS

On the eve Of assuming his new posi-
tion as Assistant Director Of Public
Safety, which IL is believed will virtual
ly make him the dictator Of the police
bureau, George 8. Tempest today gave
indications OF an impending wholesale
shift Of police lieutensnts and sergeants.
These changes will particularly affect
those members Of the department whose
districts embrace territories where po-
litical strife might result in embroiling
the bluecoats into open political activi-
ties.
This expectation was strengthened
when conference between Tempest,
Superintendent Of Police Mills and
Director Of Public Safety Cortelyou took
place in the latter's Office following that
officials return from Elizabeth, n. j.,
where he had attended the launching OF
a new city freboat. Although the
"confab" was brief, preparations for
the shifting Of more than score Of les
ser police officials and approximately
200 men in the rank and file was decided
upon.
That Mayor Moore will allow his new
Assistant Police Director free hand
problems Of important nature was fore
cast last night by the manner in which
Tempest got down to work on the de-
veloping police changes without even
visiting the Mayors Office TO obtain
orders, although the Mayor himself was
at that time in conference with political
leaders, following his return from Wash
ington, where he saw Senator Pcnrose.
That the police transfers will not only
affect the First and Second Police d.
visions, which embrace the territory
south Of Poplar street all the way to
League Island, but will include the De-
tective Bureau and other equally i'm
portant branches of the service. was

during the afternoon for lengthy con-

After Souder's departure rumcrs were
current that the detective chief was
about to be named to fill the post Of
Assistant Superintendent of Police that
will today be vacated by Tempest.
Later, however. it was learned that
the detective chiefs visit had to do
only with police business" which is
indicative of additional transfers Of

BERGDOLL TACTICS CHANGE
Slacker's Mother, With New coun-
sci, Gives Decide to U. s.

To tho already long string Of lawyers
retained by Mrs. Emma Bergdon to
guard her legal interests was added a
new one yesterday in the person Of
Major John s. Maxwell, Of Jacksonville,
Fla. formerly a judge and during the
war reserve officer in the Judge Ad-
vocate Generals Department. Mrs.
Bergdoll marked the advent of tho new
legal fight by turning over oil her deeds,
mortgages and other papers to Major
Vincent A. Carroll, counsel for Colonel
Thomas w. Miller, Alien Property Gus
todian.
Her property was confscated some
time ago by the custodian on the
ground that Grover G. Bergdoll, Mrs.
Bergdol's Stacker son, is an alien
enemy, and his property and his moth.
ers were so intermingled that seizure
of both was necessary to insure obtain
ing all Of Growers. Until yesterday,
Mrs. Bergdoll had resisted efforts to
have her turn over the documents re-
lating to the property. Her new coun-
sci was in the city several hours.

Tempest and Dapis Had
Similarity in Careers

George g. Tempest, newly ap-
pointed Assistant Director Of Public
Safety, is the second man TO rise
to that position from the ranks of
the Police Bureau. Harry O. Davis,
now executive secretary Of the Re-
publican City Committee, was the
first.
Mr.. Davis was the first 10 fill the
office Of Assistant Superintendent Of
Police, the position held by Mr..
Tempest when the Mayor promoted
him to the assistant directorship.
Their two careers have paralleled
roughly with respect to promotions.
Mr.. Tempest was appointed to the
police force in 1891, and Mr.. Davis
1894. The new Assistant Director
was made lieutenant in 1908, three
years after the promotion of Mr..
Davis to that rank. In 1913 Mr..
Tempest was made captain, one
year before that grade was reached
by Mr.. Davis, who became Assistant
Director in 1915 under the Smith
Administration.

Harris Is Leading Both Leagues
In Accepting extra" Chances
Griffmen's Keystone Sack Guardian Also
Figures to Run Sisler Ragged in Race
for Theft Honors.

Bucky Harris is youngster In
the American League. but he Is
wasting no time in making bid
for fame.
He is setting a fast pace. on the
paths and expects to run The Siz-
zler" ragged in the race for base
stealing honors.
In addition Mr.. Grihith's brill
liant second sacker is setting a
pace for the other infieldersy of the
league in ground covering.
Some demon statisticfan recently
delved into the dope of what in
fielders in both circuits had ac-
cepted, an extra large number of
chances this season. when the fig
ures were all assembled and boiled
down, the leader was not the IA
nous Eddie Collins. nor the also
widely-known Rabbit Maranville.
Stanley Harris is the guy!
Twelve times this year the Wash
ington second baseman has gate
cred in eight chances. three times
nine has been total. twice he has
handled ten without an error and
once thirteen. In the two major
leagues there are only two others
who have accepted as many as thir-
teen chances this season. One OF
them is MaranviIle. of Pittsburgh.
and the other is Mcclellan. Of the
White Sox. ="
These figures are a good index on
the ground covering ability of the
different players and would indicate
that Harris. claimed by his boosters
to be an Eddie Collins in the max
ing. can so and get 'em with az
much agility as anybody in the
business.
Among the shortstops of the
American League, O'Rourke ranks
second in extra chances accepted
being topped only by Scott. of
Boston. "Blackie" has accepted
eight chances six times, has nabbed
nine twice. ten once and eleven
three times.
Maranville. however, has a dis
