HEY EINSTEIN IS
 STILL DRY CHAMP
Cleans Up Mobile and New Orleans
 --MOre to Come, He Says

New Orleans. Nov. 14.-While prohibition agents are checking nr the results of raids here and at Mo. bile. Ala, yesterday lazy" Einstein nationally known prohibition agent whose work of tie last few weeks cul. minated in evidence and information responsible for the issuance of 45 search warrants for the raids here and S5 at Mobile relates tales of his ex- 1 periences.
 Acting under orders from E. c Yellowley, chief of the general pro- i hibition agents, Einstein' and peter Reagan of New York. former pugilist, who assisted him. quietly ! slipped into New Orleans after they 1 had spent three weeks in Mobile registered at a local hotel under as- simed names and set about their | work.
 1 As longshoremen. "Izzy'' and Reagan earlyone morning last week wandered into a soft drink establish raent on Royal Street Einstein said. and called for two glasses of beer. The bartender advised them not to drink beer at that hour but to take whiskey.
 "All right then give us two glasses of whiskey," lazy said. After chatting a while the prohibit ton agents walked out with the evidence. The place was raided yes terday.
 At a cabaret. "Izzy" took a har- monica from his pocket and struck up a jazz tune while Reagan per formed a buck and wing dance. I'm mediately drinks were served to everybody in the place, "Izzy' said But Einstein, instead of drinking, specially made funnel and tube con- nection with bottle he carried in an inside pocket.
 Einstin said while he and Reagan were in Mobile they donned the garb of longshoremen and worked as dock iaborers and also disguised as fruit peddlers.
 It vas believed the raids here yes- terday, which were conducted by the entire prohibition force assisted by agents from several osher cities, re- suited in the seizure of 200 gallons Of liquors and wines. Intoyicents were found in 25 places. including restaurants, cafes. soft drink estab- lishments and groceries, reports to headquarters show.
 Einstein, it Is said, has furnished the federal authorities with a long list of Siolators and the warrants issued yesterday were only forerunners Of others to follow.
 At Mobile the prohibition raids netted as much as 500 cases Of im- pcrted whiskies, wines, brandies and cordials, the officers report.
 The raids there were conducted by Nj. overpeek, divisional chief Of the eighth prohibition district with head quarters at New orleans. who says that he sent his best men to clean np Mobile.
