ANTITRUST vIOLAT0RS
GOING TO PRISON?

Indications that that for the first
time since passage of the Sherman
act, violators of the anti trust mea-
sure would actually serve time be-
hind prison bars.
Four active members Of the Tile,
Crate and Mantel Manufacturers
and Dealers Association, woh last
week pleaded guilty to violation Of
the act after their methods had been
revealed by the Lockwood legislative
committee investigating the building
trades, received jail sentences from
Federal Judge Van Fleet at New
York, ranging from two to four
months.
United States Attorney Hayward
declared that the quartette soon
would be on their way to the Essex
county, New Jersey, jail, because it
would be impossible for them to ap-
peal from the sentences after hav-
ing pleaded guilty.
r. N. Noble, Arthur Shilstone and
Albert Schaile were sentenced to
four month in the Essex county Jail
and fined $4,000 each. Herman Petri
was sentenced to two months m the
same jail and fined $500. Twenty
nine other defendants were fined
sums ranging from $500 to $4,000.
Eleven corporations, composing the
| combine, were fined $4,000 each and
six others were fined from $500 to
$4,000.
Most of the firms and individuals
sentenced we're located in New York.
In imposing sentence, Federal Judge
Van Fleet said:
GAS result of an inquiry into the
facts as to the participation Of the
various defendants, the court is sat-
isfied that the mere imposition of a
Me as to certain of the more fla
grant instances will afford no cure,
nor act as a deterrent which is the
main object of punishment; that
while it may be true as urged at the
argument that in the past the pro-
visions of the Sherman law author
izing Jail sentences have rarely been
enforced, the situation presented
here is of such character that the
TIME has come to put a stop to these
sfipinal practices and in my jpdg-
meSt the only effective way Of doing
it is to invoke and bring to life those
features of this great act which pro-

takes place and much needed organ

Thousands of people in Milwaukee

William A. Garren, the celebrated
eastern scientist, who has established

These visitors represent people in
all walks Of life--ranging from day

stomachs, and claims to prove this
with his preparation, Garren's Tonic.
However he makes no wild claims"
for the medicine. He said:
"Garren's Tonic will positively do

the digestive organs in condition to
properly digest and assimilate food.

HEAR PLEAS
OF TAXPAYERS
ECU UTILIZATION BOARD is
MAKING REVIEWS ON
REASSESSMENTS

Property in the city of Wausau is
increased in valuation by over $5,000,-
600 the result of a complete reasess-
ment of property within its limits, the
tremendous task of which was COM
pleter July by George Steltz. city as
SCISSOR. Mr.. Steltz has been at work
since last year and by all fair means
has endeavored to arrive at Just and
equitable assessments for properties
in all parts of the city, calling in at
various times others we'll acquainted
with valuations, to make suggestions
or to solve perplexities in particular
cases.
Thirty per cent is considered fair
estimate of the average increase al
though some residential and business
properties are standing as high as fif-
ty, seventy-five and one hundred per
cent,
Now Eighty
The assessed valuation of the city of
Wausau year ago was $13,424, 112,
and was considered generally to be fif-
ty-seven per cent of the true valuation
of local property. The reassessment
of 1921 brings this assessment to over
100000 and in the opinion of al
dermen on the board of equalization
eighty per cent of the true value is
covered in the new assessed valuation
Listening to the numerous COM
plants and requests for changes in
the assessment of their property are
Alderman Frank Gaetzman, Louis
Garske, Louis G. Leak, George MORT
settle, A. H. Kiefer, Fred Gehring, VIM
Klokow, Louis Pregont and Paul G..
Zielsdorf, as well as Mayor Emil Flat
ter and City Clerk Frank N. Blecha
The board of equalization has heard
up to date number of individual APP
peals, and in every case of course, the
request was that the assessed valua-
ton was too high. In some cases the
reasons given were looked upon ia
vorably but the disposition of the
board appears to be to force the as
sessments as they stand Lumbermen
appeared before the board on Mon
day afternoon remaining until late for
a hearing.
Frequent Trips
Members of the board have also
made frequent trips from the city hall
to all parts of the city in attempt to
ascertain the accuracy of valuations
which have been questioned Every
ward will be visited and with the as
sistance of City Assessor Steltz it is
anticipated satisfactory adjustments
can be made on all properties or eY-
plantations can be given which will
satisfy those who believe their taxes
have been unduly increased.
Should the present rate of taxation
continue, MANY taXpayerS feel they
will be paying the city an excessive
amount. A continuation of high rate
for several years, others say, would
then permit a reduction which be-
cause Of accurate valuations, would
seem low.
The board cannot possibly complete
its task until the middle of next week,
it is anticipated.

Squad Lands at Once
ON Sd Suspects, Seizing
TrucklOad of Liquor
Yellowley Is Active Here
Whisky Valued at 500, 900
Taken In Brooklyn, AL
cOhol Found i'm Manhattan

Prohibition enforcement agents, un-
der the direction of "Izzy" Einstein
swooped down on Yonkers yesterday
just after noon, and when they had
completed their roundup thirty-eight
prisoners had been taken and truck
load of contraband confscated. There
were more than 100 agents in the raid
ing squadron. all recruited from the
Manhattan and Brooklyn offices Of the
government, and they were armed with
warrants to search thirty-four estab-
lishments.
Promptly at 1880 the "zero hour"
set by Einstein and r. Hugh Merritt,
chief supervising agent for Manhat-
tan, who aided in the plan of the COM
paign, all the suspected places were
entered simultaneously.
"There was no resistance" Einstein
said after the raid "We had search
warrants for thirty-four places and
took everything we found. Nobody tried
to get away. They were all taken by
surprise"
p-v Drinks. Then Arrest
The prohibition agents, it was said,
made no raids without first purchasing
drink of liquor, and the authorities
e. ictlyns in a majority of
the arrests. Fourteen of the prisoners
were taken to the Yonkers police head
quarters, twelve were brought to New
o-k and the others were taken to
other stations. The orders were that
the prisoners were all to be taken to
Ycnkers headquarters, but there was a
Misunderstanding
Most of the places upon which Elm
STEMS men descended were saloons. no
rcadhouses, it was said, having been
entered Saloons which specialize in
out-of-town trade were not bothered.
which led to report that local com
plants probably were responsible for
the big raid.
Three OF the more prominent saloon
Propr etors arrested we're Philip HUI
man. of "a Palisade Avenue, and his
bartender; James Elkey. proprietor of
hotel at Wells and Warburton ave-
nues, one block from the police station
and Michael Feeney, of III Riverdale
Avenue. The prisoners were taken to
onkers headquarters and they will be
arraigned on Monday before United
States Commissioner Hitchcock.
Other seizures made yesterday by
memoe Of Director Yellowley's staff
were in Brooklyn and Manhattan. The
former was the confscat;on on of 996 cases
of whisky, valued at nearly S100. 900.
consigned to E. j. Hart, of 2316 Eighty
sixth Street. The seizure was made at
the railroad terminal in Wallabout
Basin.
$4,000 in Alcohol Seized
The Manhattan seizure was of twenty
four barrels of alcohol, valued at
$4,000. from a warehouse at 527 Hud-
son Street.
Applications for permits to manufac.
ture and sell malt liquors for medicinal
purposes were received yesterday by
Director Yellowley, with the arrival
from Washington of the amended pro-
hibition act, embodying the regulation
governing such sales.
The first APPLICATION was from Piel
