Special Dispatch to THE NEW YORK HERALD.
New York Herald Bureau,
Washington, ID. G., Aug. 8.
Disclosures of sensational charac-
ter which are expected to throw open
to the public view the extent to which
an army of leading attorneys through
out the country, including Washington
lawyers with lucrative practices, and
even Government officials and politi-
clans, are part of the National Boot
leg Ring were forecast here to-day
The recent arrest of two New York
lawyers at the Racquet Club here set
the ball rolling. This, it is now indi-
Gated, was merely an isolated instance
of major traffic in which lawyers of
the big cities with central connections
in Washington, often aided by politi-
clans, constitute the corps d'elite of
the bootleg fraternity.
The disclosures. which, 1t is de-
clared. now are in order, are calcu-
lated to show how far these higher
ups" who have been operating under
the garb of responsibility and legiti-
mate business, were enabled to over
come the vigilance of the Federal pro-
hib1tion department and to tap the
warehouses wide open for their boot
logger colleagues.
Lawyers Profits Big.
The extent of the corruption and
bribery, which reached into the inner
offices of the prohibition unit itself, can
only be vaguely estimated. 1t is certain.
however, that many thousands of dol
lars are spent in Washington every
week to defeat prosecutions and to pro-
cure permits through fraudulent meth
ods. 1t is also certain that many firms
of lawyers in the large cities derive the
major part of their income from their
service in securing the release of liquor
for the bootleg traffic. In Washington
there are lawyers, it is alleged. who
specialize on this permit practice alone.
and who represent component parts of
the bootleg organizations in all the large
cities Of the country.
Because of the ramifications of the
conspiracy and the extent TO which
these ramifications reach into secret
channels it requires much time to dis
entangle the plot in its entirety. The
Government. however Is possessed of
mass of data which leaves no room to
doubt 1t Is this army Of high ups" that

what letter from a political leader can
do TO pave an entry into officialdom.
How many permits we're issued be-
cause politician was anxious to do a
favor TO a constituent or because he
thought the object of the permit
worthy one no one can exactly tell and
IN the nature OF things il never will be
revealed.
1t Is not customary to make such
letters public. It would be a doubly
delicate matter In case of this kind.
for might II not be that an ardent adVo
cate of the Volstead act and Eighteenth
Amendment unwittingly had become the
abettor of the bootlegger in his zeal for
medicinal aid in the form of liquor TO
short" community? On the whole. this
kind of aid is put in the category OF the
innocent" accessory after the fact. al
though he is of course an important
factor.
Common Instance Cited.
Here is a common instance brought
TO the attention OF THE New YoRx
HERALD well authenticated instance :
Mr.. smith has ten barrels of liquor in
bond He cannot get them withdra wn
legitimately. He cannot get round the
permit proposition, and he Is not in the
accepted sense "bootlcgger." He
would rather do the withdrawing win
little finesse. He approaches Mr.
White, who Is high up" politically.
This Is the usual proposition:
If you help me get this liquor out l
will go fifty-hfty with YOU" To Mr.
White. whose stock OF bourbon has
reached the vanishing point. the lure
of rye is what the lure Of big money

Internal Revenue. He Is not monkey
ing with buzz saw" as the clerk is.
but can resort TO the well known "puu"
game. Eventually the ten barrels Of
rye are released and fftyffty contract
goes into effect.
How long it will take the authorities
to disclose the entire extent of the
vicious circle OF liquor fraud. corruption
and wholesale bribery. which 1t Is al
legged overshadows anything In the his
tory OF the country, remains to be seen.
One thing, however, Is admitted. and
that Is that the time for disclosures Is
ripe.
Hitherto attention of the public was
focused on the occasional raids on res
taurants. the capture OF a moonshine
still and the punishment of habitual
peddlers of poisonous whisky and gin.
IHc aStnCleS Oh tne feueTdl

press releases bearing on this kind OF

pays any attention to these handouts"
because of the knowledge that they
mean little or nothing and the kiowl-
edge that operations OF grand magni-
tude are being conducted in which the
Government is being constantly de-
frauded and outmaneuvered by the
army of attorneys and their allies in

extent of the conspiracy TO defeat the

reached such proportions. it is claimed

come known the conscience of the coun-
try would be shocked at the magnitude
Of the operations.
