The scheme, they say, is compare
lively simple. The Pullman porters
are given custody Of alleged liquor
laden trunks and suit cases. These
are then shipped to various cities,
notably Washington. Once in the
city to which they have been con-
signed, the trunks are placed ON
the proper" baggage carrier and
whisked away to waiting automo-
biles. From there the liquor is

While only four have been ar.
rested, Chief Trey declared that
many more arrests are expected as
soon as his agents can close in on
the guilty parties. Warrants have
been procured and will be served,
he said, as soon as the quarry can
be located.
Under Surveillance Five Months.
Lusby and Wedel, it is charged,
took supplies from the War Depart
ment. They have been under sur.
VIGILANCE for five months. Last
night a squad Of Federal agents
swooped down on Lusby's home and
confiscated a truck load of turkeys
chickens, cigars. and other alleged
stolen merchandise. The agents re.
moved the goods to the Treasury
Department. 1t win be turned over
to the War Department as soon as
an inventory has been made for pre-
sentation in court. Wedel is said
to have helped Lusby dispose Of the
stolen property.
AS a special preventive against
news Of the two raids leaking out,
the prohibition agents took their
prisoners to the office Of Trey,
where United States Commissioner
George II. Macdonald held preliIni-
mar hearings. All the accused are
out on bonds that range from $1,000
to $1,000.

The stock market in the first part
Of the week foreshadowed the APP

of holders to protect themselves
against any unforeseen happening in

of the oil industry and the dis
