sation" revealed particular prominence
here to-day when 1t became known that
a resolution would be introduced In the
Senate demanding an investigation of
the prohibition unit. The alarm was
sounded by Wayne b. Wheeler, general
counsel OF the Anti-Saloon League, who
declared he had advance Information
to the effect that such resolution
would be introduced.
At the same time 1t was indicated the
request for an investigation would be
made on the ground that the prohibition
unit has been fertile field for corrupt
practices and illegal acts on the part
of employees.
A demand will be made. II Is believed.
for a complete record of the employees
of the prohibition unit who had been
discharged because OF suspected or
proved connection with the army of boot
leggers which constitutes the natural
quarry of the dry squadrons. Develop
ments from time to time and prior to
the recent arrest at the Racquet Club
with the subsequent suspension from
duty Of two of the clerks in Chief fel-
lowley's office, 1t is stated, has led
many Senators who are not all or the
dry species" to believe that 1t is high
time to look into the source OF en-
forcement
While Mr.. Wheeler, who is attempt
ing to discredit the demand for an In
vestigation, takes the stand that II Is
part of the wet" propaganda. those be-
hind the move it is indicated, will want
to know who gets the thousands of dol
lars spent in Washington every week
in the interests of defeating prosecu-
tions under the Volstead act and In
procuring withdrawals by amending and
manipulating the records.
Chief Yellowley would not indicate
what would be done in the case OF two
suspended members Of his staff. They
have been relieved on their personal
cognizance because they turned States
evidence against Halperin and Stein
field. q
Steinfeld was released to-day on
81 900 bond although his bail originally
was fixed ~ Commissioner Mcdonald
at $4,000, the sum on which Halperin
was let out on Sunday. Chief Yellowley
declared that he was not consulted as
to the reason for the reduction of the
bail in the case Of Steinfeld.
Reduction Of bail in this case, It was
said. was particularly Objectionable be-
cause the activities of the gang, Of
which Halperin and Steihfeld are alleged
to be the leaders. would If pursued far
enough destroy the Government itself"
Chief Yellowley branded as IAN un-
qualified lie'' statement made in New

Washington was on Saturday. The op-
erations Of the two here have continued
for six months, 1t was said.

Washington, ID. C.. Aug. z.
With prohibition sleuths on the
trail of what they allege is the great
est bootleg ring unearthed in the
United States since the Volstead act
became effective, it was indicated to-
day that the tables would be turned
on the accusers and a resolution in
troduced in the Senate demanding an
investigation of the Federal Prohibit
tion Office.
The developments came on the heels
of the sensational arrest at the
Racquet Club here Of Merrill Steinfeld
and Max Halperin. New York lawyers
in connection with an alleged plot to
defraud the Government by obtaining
official records from the Bureau OF
revelations brought out before United
States Commissioner Mcdonald that

to-day preparing documents looking to
further arrests In connection with the
plot of which 'Steinfeld and Halperin
were said to be the brains" in various
cities along the Atlantic coast.
When further arrests would be made
or where they would be made, Mr..
Yellowly refused to even intimate. de-
daring that any statement of intent
would spoil the case for the Govern
ment and permit the escape of persons
who. were now as good as netted.
The liquor ring, IT was intimated. oper-
ated in all the main offices as far in
land as Cincinnati and Louisville. While
the evidence against the alleged ring
has not been fully sifted or marshalled,
Chief Yellowley declared that 1t was
undoubtedly the most grandiose attempt
hitherto made to defeat prohibition, the
most sinister feature OF 1t being the
direct attack on the prohibition office
by bribery OF it's employees

BOOTLEGGING CRAFT.
Chauffeur for Cassese Says
She Checked Rum Cargo
in Bahamas.
HE TURNS STATE WITNESS
Mrs. Stevens, 10, and Wife Of
Her Alleged Accomplice
Meet in ourt.

Two women heard Joseph Bortolin.
! Italian aviator, who served as Anthony
Cassese's chauffeur and then found
himself indicted as a bootlegger. describe
in the Federal Court, Brooklyn, yester-
day the trip OF the converted trawler
Ripple to the Bahama Islands last May
in an alleged rum running expedition.
One was the slim. reserved defendant.
Mrs. Edith Stevens. 10 years old,
charged with having conspired with
Cassese, a fugitive from justice. to
violate the volstead act. The other was
Mrs. Cassese. the indicted tobacco mer-
chants wife. a silent spectator. Often
the defendants eyes rested upon the
jury. AS often did Mrs. Cassese's eyes
rest upon the defendant
Turns States witness.
Mrs. Stevens listened unmoved yes
terday as Assistant Federal Attorney
Blue asked that the indictment which
made Bortolin a codefendant be dis
missed. He was to be a witness for the
people, explained Mr. Blue.
Il object exclaimed Wallace i. J.
Collins, representing Mrs. Stevens. This
man is just as much involved In the
charges as my client. She might have
turned States evidence just as he did.
1t seems to me that the Government Is
putting the whole burden of the prosecu-
tion upon the shoulders of this girl"
But the indictment against Bortoln
was dismissed. He took the stand as
the first witness for the prosecution and
testified to the association of Mrs.
Stevens with Cassese of seeing them
together at the Hotel Pennsylvania: OF
driving them in Casseses machine along
Riverside Drive and in Central Park.
He told of Cassese's purchase OF the ia
foot trawler, with a speed of eight miles
an hour. and of Mrs. Stevens's inspection
of the vessel as II was being overhauled
ar a New Jersey drydock. He told Of
the trip made last May to the Bahamas.
Says Girl Checked Cargo.
Cassese and Mrs Stevens were not
on board. he said. but met the Ripple
al the Bahamas. having apparently gone
down by rail- or yacht. A schooner and
small boat transferred a great number
Of small bags one day to the Ripple, he
said. These. according to the Federal
Attorney, contained six bottles Of
whisky each. Bertolin testified that
Mrs. Stevens checked off the transfer
o. the cargo, she and CaSSeSe having
gone aboard from launch.
Neither accompanied the vessel TO New
York. Bortolin left the vessel while
she was off the North Carolina coast
having been taken sick. According to
the Federal Attorney, a good part OF the
cargo was taken off by small boats at
Ambrose Light When the Ripple docked
at the foot OF Clinton street. Brooklyn.
Federal agents raided her and seized
liquor given a value of $25,000. The
trial will continue to-day.

SERVICE TO THE STATE.

We are not inclined to pay much at
tention TO some of the important iHstitu-
tons Of the state until we are brought
face TO face with what they are doing
and made to appreciate the service they
are rendering. 1t is Of course known
that there is a Connecticut agricultural
experiment station at New Haven but
probably little is known to the general
public as to the benefit it is to the state.
Estimates have just been issued In
suletin form from the experimental sta
tion in regard to commercial fertilizer
In which it is shown that there are about
10000 tons of It purcha sed by the farm
srs Of Connecticut at an EXPENSE of
about s3.500O00. That means a eonsid-
cradle business, first and last. in this
commonwealth. Such material is pur-
chased for the purpose of aiding produc-

which the farms produce. Naturally it
Is desirable TO know whether value Is be-
ing received when such purchases are
made. There are fertilizers for one use
and fertilizers for another there are

along similar lines but it is a service of
