POSES AS MINSTREL
As Organ Grinder, With
Monkey, He Unearihs
Demijohns.
AT TIMES A HUCKSTER
PeddIer's Pushcart Often
Used to Push Away
the Evidence.

Washington, ID. C., Feb. 17.-Police
and prohibition enforcement officers
today launched their second city-wide
liquor clean up since the beginning
of February.
Armed with so warrants, they be-
gan before noon a series of raids
which reached into every section of
the capital. All available detention
space at several station houses was
rapidly filled with eaptives.
As in the series of GO raids con-
Quoted February ., evidence was
given the revenue agents and police
BY ]. J.. Asher, revenue agent from
Kentucky. Asher travelled the
rounds of the capital underworld this
time in the guise Of a wandering
minstrel, playing his way into the
hearts of his victims on a violin.
Thirty revenue agents and police
conducted today's onsiaughts on the
rum dealers.
Asher started his latest rounds Of
the capital in quest of hootleggers
within "a hours after the raids on
February ..
Disguised as a minstrel, he played
through the city streets and alleys
and dropped into bootlegger's head
quarters entirely unsupported.
The police have feared for Asher's
safety since the announcement was
made of his activities in the previous
raids, and they summoned a harp
player on the detective force, George
Bauer. to accompany him on his new
rounds.
Part of the time the pair assumed
the roles of hucksters, making it con
venient 10 cart their bottles and
demipohns of evidence to headquar-
tiers. At other times they went about
as organ-grinders with monkeys.
Bauer. TO test his disguise, first
went to work in the district surround
ing his home. He sold apples to his
own mother without being recognized.
Yesterday he and Asher worked as
fish and oyster peddlerS They de-
veloped a terrible thirst whenever
they approached a suspected house.
They had little difficulty in finding
what they were after.
On one occasion last week. the
two fell afoul of a patrolman and
were taken 10 police headquarters.
They were among the men with whom
Bauer had worked with for wears.
They kept IN their disguise and were
booked on unpronOuncable Italian
names before they reavled their
identity.

Indictment 9 Years Old;
Ingenuity Baked Law
: for Years.
ONCE IN SING SING

Chicago. Feb. 17.-John W. Worth
ington, former private banker whose
financial flights have several times
been under scurtiny of state and fed
eral authorities, today was found
guilty by a jury in federal court Of
using the mails in a scheme to de-
fraud.
Worthington. some times called the
"wolf Of LaSalle street." formerly
operated the American Banking As
sociation, a private bank which went
into bankruptcy. He has operated
investment and brokerage offices here
and elsewhere and in connection with
securities sought by police and pri'
vate detectives, has several times been
the object of raids and charges.
Another case involving the posses
sion of stolen property, $1,000 in
bonds alleged to have been stolen
from the Union Pacific railroad al
Omaha. is pending against him in the
municipal court.
Found Guilty on Two Counts.
Worthington was found guilty OF
liable 10 a maximum sentence of ter
years in prison and TO pay a fine Of
$4,000 or both. His counsel has
entered motion for a new trihl. Until
that is disposed of formal sentence
will not be pronounced.
The conviction is the first either
state or federal authorities have
obtained against Worthington here in
the more than a dozen years OF
his financial operations in Chicago
which have been interspersed with
banking and investment ventures in
other cities. ..
Served In Sing Sing.
Worthington. now 6S, served term
in Sing Sing prison 80 years ago for
fraudulent operations in New YorI
but, since then. has successfully evad
ed all efforts TO send him to prison
His ingenuity and almost never
failing resources aroused a guarded
admiration of the mans ability among
financiers and prosecutors. While
his methods have been under fir,
numerous times and he and his wife
were many times forced to exert
unusual efforts. he never has failed
to provide bonds and usually wa,
ready for operations the next day
il is said.
Several hearings in the state and
municipal courts ended in acduittal
or dismissal for Worthington. To.
days verdict failed TO shake his com.
posurC.
The indictment under which he was
found guilty today was returned by
a federal grand jury nine years ago.

drifting far apart: that either the
French. must change their policy or
the entente will be broken.
Divested of official sugar-coating,
reports of the conference between Pre-

mean that Great Britain has refused
to permit the French to extend their
occupation of the Ruhr to the Brit

British opinion is hardening

urge the government TO intervene be-
