had made application through the
United States Attorneys Office. for

booker Warehouse in such cases as have
been disposed OF in the courts. The
application was for action in ninety-two
cases. calling for the disposal OF liquor

$4,000, 600 in spirits and wines stored
in the warehouse, and Mr.. Yeilowley is
