BANKER IS ARRESTED
IN FLORIDA RUM PLOT
Head Of Miami Institution Is Accused
Of Being Go Between for
Liquor Smupaiers

Miami, March 22.-With the arrest
here yesterday of c. NJ. Clayton, vice.
president of the Miami National Bank,
on a charge Of conspiracy to violate
the Federal prohibition laws bv act
ing as gobetween and financial agent
for liquor smugglers, the Florida cam.
paign of Col. l.. G. Nuts flying squad
of liquor sleuths reached its climax.
Clayton was charged specifically
with consplring with two alleged
smugglers Thomas n Lewis and
Wilbur Phelps-to import Illegally a
boatload of liquor into the United
States from the Bahamas. A woman
proprietor of a road house on the Mi
ami River and another man are in
cluded in the conspiracy, but their
names have not been divulged.
Although Clayton, who is one of the
most prominent bankers of this part
of Florida, says the whole affair was
a frame-up, Col. Nuts men assert
they have sufficient evidence to con-
meet him with the smuggling deal,
which was actually consummated,
An effort is being made by Clayton
and the Miami National Bank to show
that his connection with the affair was
purely in his private capacity, and did
not In any way involve the bank To
Offset this, the Government is pre-
pared to submit evidence that Clayton
signed a receipt for the money TO be
paid to the smugglers in the name of
the bank, and that another official Of
the bank was aware of the transac'
tion
Col Mutt declared yesterday that If
the forty Federal agents comprising
HIS flying squad had desired to involve
other bankers in and near Miam! in
similar situations 1t would not have
been a hard task. Several other deals
with bankers as financial agents and
go.betweens were under way, 1t is al
legged when the Clayton-Lewis.Phelp
transaction was completed.

2 POSTMASTERSHIPS
IN VERMONT HELD UP
Civil Service Board to Study Contests
for Fair Haven and Fairfield
Berths.

Washington, March 2l-Personal
investigations of the postmastership
rlyalries at Fair Haven and Fairfield,
Vt, have been ordered by the Civil
Service commission, and the unherald-
ed and unobtrusiye advent of an in
spector with an inquiring turn Of
mind in these towns may shortly be
expected. This step will still further
delay these appointments
II is given out by the civil service
that there Is nothing unusual or ex-
traordinary In this proceeding. When
ever the commission finds It difficult
to get at all the facts in the case OF
candidates for postmasters," said an
official of that body today, or when
ever it appears that any injustice is
likely to be done to one or more Of
the candidates, It IS quite the custom
to order a personal investigation by
an authorized agent. II is done in a
great many cases and is simply in
tended to bring all the necessary data
to the attention OF the commission.
1t had been expected that certi-
iication OF eligibles for the Fair Hav-
en- postotfice would be made very
shortly by the commission, and the
determination to send an inspector in
to the camps OF the rival aspirants
has occasoned something OF a sur
prise. 1t is understood that there are
some seven or eight active candidates
for the office, and nothing will be
done by the civil service toward
rating them and sending to the post
Office department the names OF the
eligibles until the report OF the inves-
tigator has been received and compar-
ed with the data already in the hands
of the board.
