Promises Surprises When
Search Is Made for Sub
stituted Water.
NEW PLAN OF DRY FORCE
Central Structures for Holding
Liquor Will BE Used
All Over L. s.

To just what extent fine old liquors
of the days before prohibition have
guarded warehouses in this city prob
ably will become known before the
end Of the present month. This reve-
lation is expected to result from the
transfer OF liquors contained in sixty
nine warehouses in Manhattan to a
new Government controlled ware
house under a Capitalization plan
evolved by the Treasury Department
The value of the liquors to be moved
is placed at s100,0ooo0 by Ralph A.
Day, prohibition director, from whom
the first intimation OF a wholesale
leak came yesterday upon his return
from a conference in Washington.
Mr.. Day conceded that he was not
stances in support of his intimation,
but made the declaration there will
be fireworks" when the movement be-
gins. He said, however, there is no
question but many of the 10000 bar
rels of whisky stored in Manhattan
viii be found to contain water when
they are opened. This will be part of
the removal, and. in fact, 1t will be
the most important part, because the
persons in charge of the new central
warehouse, which has not been Sc
lected yet, will be morally and legally
responsible for the contents of every
barrel and case once they pass inside
the doors.
Big Movement of Liquor.
has there been such movement OF
liquors as the one that will be ordered
by prohibition authorities within a few
days. The primary object, Mr.. Day
explained. is to get the liquors into
the hands OF persons who can be held
legally responsible for any leaks that
develop. Basically. however, the plan is
one In which the authorities hope to dis
cover 5ust how much water is In New
York's whisky stock. That 1t is well
Hooded Mr. Day and other enforcement
officers feel satisfied and their belief
led to the Washington conference Those
present aside from Mr.. Day we're Roy A.
Haines, Prohibition Commissioner, and
Frank Bowers. Collector OF Customs for
the Southern District of New York
There are 10000 barrels Of liquor.
valued at 81. 800 a barrel or a total OF
100000. and $4,000 cases Of bottled
liquors worth $50 a case, stored In nine
teen of the siSty-nine warehouses. Seven
OF these are known as free warehouses.
They are free in the sense that the duty
has been paid on the liquors corr aimed
In them. These warehouses are free
from the supervision OF the Internal
Revenue Department and the Customs
Service, as are the others, but no with
drawals can be made from them without
permits from the Prohibition Director.
In the fifty other warehouses are n
miscellaneous collection of bottled and
barreled liquors. the exact value or duan-
tity OF which is not known. MIR. Day
thought that valuation OF $4,000, 900
for their collective contents would not
be an exaggeration. That would bring
II down to Sl.O00.000 warehouse. and
there are few warehouses so small that
they will not hold that amount Of llquor
even at prohibition prices
The New York herald., 1922-08-11

"In small furniture, Wana-
makers offers, by far, the most
comprehensive stock"
"Wanamaker's has more high
grade furniture than any Of the
other stores"
"Wanamaker's stock Of Spinet
Desks is largest and offers best
values. In all kinds of desks,
Wanamaker has more handsome
ones than found elsewhere"
"Not a store has anything like
the wonderful stock of davenport
tables seen at Wanamaker's."
"My feeling is that Wanna
maker leads in price where the
goods are of better quality
"The Wanamaker stock of fur
niture was never more impress
sive, nor so well balanced as it is
this year.
Prices are 10 to so p

there is no question of compari-
