OPERATORS
FOUR BREWERS HELD
coNSPlRAToRS ALLEGED TO
HAVE USED $4,000 TO BRIeE
PROHIBITION AGENTS

New York.-The federal government
fired double -barreled charge into wet
forces alleged to be drenching New
York and New Jersey with Illicit Ii
quor.
With one charge federal agents,
working under direct orders from
Washington, brought down bag of
eleven conspirators, who, rounded up
in the Hotel Pennsylvania and else
where, are alleged to have been using
$50, 900 to bribe prohibition agents not
to stop the brewing of real beer in
New Jersey; not to interfere with the
converting of industrial alcohol into
strong liquor, and to block the flooding
of New York and New Jersey with
beer from rival vats in Pennsylvania.
With the other barrel the govern
ment fired Il broadside into the first
of several thousand saloonkeepers al
legged to be running wide open in New
York City since the repeal of the state
prohibition enforcement law. Fifty
four suits were filed in Federal Court
to paddock these alleged "speak-easies'
under provisions of the Volstead act,
and United States Attorney Hayward
added that more actions would be
brought.
1t was said that a regular weekly
bribe of $500 was accepted by one
of the agents before making the ar
rests.
The men arresed are j. Harry Fo-
ley, former secretary to Senator Ed
wards of New Jersey, when the latter
was governor and now state superin-
tendent of weights and measures; Her
bert Katz of the Paterson Brewing and
Mailing company; Edward Butler of
the Peter Breidt Brewing company of
Elizabeth, n. j.; Harry Kull of the
Hygeia Brewing company, Passaic, n.
j.; George Seeber of the Rising Sun
Brewing company, Elizabeth, n. j.;
Henry Greenfield, prohibition agent;
Emanuel Elfenbein, IL truckman and
warehouseman; Herman ]. Goldman,
Theodore l.. Schwartzman of the Her
man Chemical company, Brooklyn, n.
Y; William Nathan of Hoboken, n. j.,
and DIR. Leo Sakaroff.
All We're charged with conspiring to
give bribes to influence the conduct of
prohibition agents. Special charges
against Goldman Schwartzman. Elfen-
bein, Greenfield, Nathan and Sakaroff
involved giving money to permit the
transportation and sale of alcohol to be
rectified into whisky and other alco-
holic beverages.
1t was explained that denatured al
cohol was redistilled into grain alco-
hol and used for manufacture of
whisky, that grain alcohol which was
to have been denatured was instead
used to make whisky and that money
was paid to permit these practices and
to protect those carrying them out.

From the tropics, where 1t is the
principal food staple of millions of
people, there has been brought to US

both the potato and the sugar beet.

Coolidge Is for Railroad Consolidation

In the Presidents judgment the
most important phase of the transpor-
tation problem is freight rates Agri-
culture, he believes. is strangled to a
degree by the excessive cost of trans
portation. In his opinion the same is
true of other products known as com
moditieS."
The President, it declared, has
become convinced that the railroads
cannot put horizontal rate reductions
into effect without losses which they
cannot stand. This seems to be true
particularly of those lines engaged in
moving heavy grain products from the
field to market and TO export centers.
Also the President is convinced. it is
added, that the only means he knows
of assuring the investor in railroad
stocks and bonds fair and continu-
Gus return is so TO group the lines as
TO cut down operation expenses, over
head, and other outlays incident TO the
existing system.
All this, il is said, has placed Presi-
dent Coolidge squarely on the side OF
railway consultations in principle.
How he will so about putting his pol
icy into concrete form remains to be
determined. He will talk with Senator
Cummins and other congressional lead.
