Shortly after o'clock two dis
patches, one carried by the Central
News and the other by the Exchange

had again been held up. According
to the Exchange Telegraph, there is
possibility of further modification.
The Central News correspondent

AND DRY
AGENTS TAKE 8
ON RUM CHARGE
Also Seize Much Liquor Be-
lieved Consigned to
Hotels Here.

With the arrest last night OF
Abraham Lavine, who gave his ad.
dress as Brooklyn, n. Y, and the
seizure of two trunks containing
eighty quarts of rye whiskey, Fed
eral agents and the police OF the vice
squad believe they have stopped one
of the big sources of liquor supply
to hotel patrons here.
Lavine was taken into custody
while in an automobile with John ].
Keller, also OF Brooklyn, at Four
teenth and Clifton streets, after ne
Is alleged to have arranged with AL
Ian Moss, colored. 636 Pickford place
northeast, to take the two trunks to
a garage in the rear of the 1900
block OF N street northwest.
According to a confession made
by Moss to Federal Prohibition Agent
Linton Evans and Precinct DCteC-
tiVes O'Dea, Barbee and Murphy,
for several months he has been cart
ing trunks from the platform OF the
Southeastern Express Company to
various hotels in Washington under
direction of Lavine.
Investigation showed that the
trunks seized yesterday by the pro
hibition agents and detectives had
been shipped from Savannah, Ga.
and an arrest in that city is expect
ed today. With Lavine's arrest, the
authorities also believe they have
uncovered a whiskey ring, operating
out OF Savannah, whose source Of
whiskey supply is in the Bermudas.
The eighty quarts OF whiskey
seized bore labels of a Baltimore dis
tillery and showed they had been ex.
ported to the Bermudas. 1t is sus.
pected the whiskey was smuggled
into Savannah and then found its
way into Washington.
The arrest OF I.avine was due to
the watChfulness of Detective O'Dea,
who learned that Lavine had applied
to w. S. Hall. superintendent of the
Southeastern Express Company's Of
flee for the two trunks which orig
inally had been consigned to Balti-
more. Mr.. Hall said that Lavine
asked that he be given the trunks
here, he producing a bill OF lading
for them. Arrangements were made
for the delivery Of the trunks, con
tanning the whiskey to Moss, and
when the negro appeared for them
he was arrested. He then confessed
TO have carted several trunks a
week from the express company's
office to hotels and the garage for
Lavine.
While Keller denies that he was in
any way connected with the ship
ment OF whiskey here, he and Lavine
were charged with transporting and
illegal possession Of whiskey. An
other charge Of conspiracy was
filed against Lavine, Keller and
Moss, the drayman.

LOVER SAYS He

Continued from First PageJ


whole story from Krebs. whose love
for the French miss was waning.
AS a result of the voluntary con.
fession. made with a view of getting
the Federal Government TO help him
shake" his soulmate, Krebs Is today
in the District jail, pending $4,000
bail, and the girl who came from
Paris to bask in his love is in the
house of detention under 81 900 bail.
The romance of two continents
began last September, while Krebs
was in France as a chauffeur for
wealthy American family, whose
name he refused to divulge.
At that time he met tbe French
girl, wooed and won her. but return, d
TO America before he could secure a
divorce from his wife, to whom he
says he has been married for twenty
years, but whom he has not seen for
the past sixteen years.
Returning 10 America Krebs, 1t
is stated. sent Miss LeClert the
steamship passage TO America and
met her In New York on December
s. 1921, bringing her TO the love nest
that he had built for them here in
Washington the following day.
In the meantime, Mrs. Krebs, II
is understood. learned OF her hus.
bands affection for the younger and
prettier French girl and instituted
proceedings in the divorce courts
Of Paris. The divorce is still pend.
ing.
Through an interpreter the
French girl told immigration Off.
Cials that Krebs' had brought her
to America on a promise OF mar
riage. but that when she got here
he informed her that he was a
married man.
Tired Of Her Love.
In France the triangle situation is
not uncommon and, without much
thought Of the consequences, the girl
SAYS she took up her position in
Krebs home at the Oregon street
address, and became reconciled to
the time when her American lover
should have secured his divorce and
married her.
Her love for him, however, Krebs
told immigration officials kept him
from following the pursuits of his
trade, that OF a garage man, and he
was forced to spend much of his
time in his flat, placating the wom-
an which, he says, some day he ex-
pected to make his wife.

House Members to
Press Demands For
War Frauds Inquiry

A direct drive was inaugurated
in the House today by ex-service
members who are demanding pros.
ecutions by Attorney General Daugh-
erty of war contract grafters for
passage Of the Johnson w oodruff
resolutions for Congressional investi-
cation Of causes of delay by the
Departments of Justice and War.
Inquiry Believed Blocked.
All the members who have previ-
ously expressed interest in the hast
ening of the prosecution and pledged
support to the investigation rcsolu-
tions were asked to bring pressure
to bear on the House leaders for ac-
ton. Chairman Campbell, Of the
Rules Committee, was urged to pre-
sent his special rule making the in
vestigation resolutions privileged
legislation.
President Harding's move in the
war graft and frauds agitation in
Congress by presenting the defense
of Attorney General Daugherty will
not stop Congressman Johnson and
Woodruff, Republicans, in their in
sistence upon the Investigations.
House members say the action by
the President is likely to prevent
passage Of the investigating resolu.
tions. House Republican leaders
have seized upon 1t to bolster up
their opposition to the proposed
probes.
The exposure OF activities in lutn-
Der surplus contract sales by J. j.
Phillips, of Phillips & Stephens, Re.
publican State committee chairman
for Georgia, made by Woodruff, to-
gether with the charge that this
firm had got away illegally with
over $1,S00,00Q from the Govern.
ment, caused flutter OF excitement
IN Republican ranks.
Resentment Not Lessensd.
Resentment against Woodruff
shown by Republicans was not leg
sened by his caustic comment that
the fact that Phillips Is a Repub-
lican political patronage dispenser
in Georgia may have had influence
with the Attorney General in fail
ing to start civil and criminal prose-
cutions against Phillips"
Woodruff preferred his charges
against Phillips, formally to the
House. He supported them by af-
fidavits, and from memoranda made
by officials of the Government. At
torney General Daugherty alluded
70 the fact that persons of influ-
ence" were delaying the Depart.
ment of Justice in preparation Of
its prosecutions. Woodruff grimly
presented proof Of this statement.
Il have nothing to add to this
Phillips matter at this time" said
Woodruff today. THE Department
OF Justice is in possession of all
the facts in this case, one of the
most outrageous OF all the fraud
cases, and has been for a long
time. Later | may have something
to add to what l have had printed.
There are other matters which I
have in possession and which l
may bring to the attention Of the
people at an early opportunity"
Disappointed at Action.
Woodruff and Johnson were dis
appointed that the Republican
House Conference Tuesday night
did not authorize favorable action
on their resolutions.
LAS Republicans we cannot face
criticism for failure to meet the
issue and determine why these
frauds on the Government have
not been punished" said Wood
ruff.
THE matter has gone so far there
will have to be an investigation"
said Congressman Johnson today.

won't be satisfied IL Il is not gone
