DRY AGENT PROBE
MAY SPREAD OUT

Investigation OF the charges of Com
missioner Oyster regarding irregulari-
ties in the enforcement of prohibition in
the District may involve several agents
whose names have not yet been men,
toned publicly. it was learned to-day. at

gence unit of the internal revenue
bureau, which is the Investigating
body.
1t was definitely learned also that a
conference between the Investigators
and Commissioner of Internal Rev.
enue Blair will be held either this
afternoon or tomorrow morning,
when, 1t is understood, the investi-
gators will ask for advice relative to
the continuance of the investigation.
At this conference also. the case of
Clark H. Packard, whose name was
mentioned when charges were filed
against Agents Ralph Ruby and
George Fowler. will be taken into
consideration. Ruby and Fowler thus
far have been suspended from duty
and pay In the prohibition unit but
Packard has only been relieved from
official operations and remains on the
pay roll.
The Investigation, it was learned.

amount of work is in store for inves-
tigators in running down the "leads"
already uncovered. 1t Is for this rea-
son that conference with Commits
sioner Blair is being sought--to learn
whether this work Is regarded more
important than the field work of the
agents.

ago with q sixty-arrest raiding series

time, making statements and afff-
davits, 1t was learned today. He was
brought here from Philadelphia, be-
cause his intimate association with

necessary for women to wage a bat

To-day women are a force in the

DR.. Leo s. Rowe. director general
OF the Pan American Union, declared

responsibility that sooner or later

that the present and future of our
foreign relations depend to a much
lie opinion and the enlightenment of
the American public mind than on the
formal action of the government in
Its organized capacity. The real basic
understanding between nations is
brought about through the co-opera-
