PRESIDENT CHOICE
MAY EFFECT GEORGIA

ATLANTA, August 16.-The
appointment of G. Bascom Slemp
as private secretary to President
Calvin Coolidge, may change the
entire complexion Of the Republi-
can party organization in Georgia,
and probably will lead to radical
hcanges in the personnel of the
state central committee, according
to the view taken by close political
observers who regard Mr.. Slemp's'
appointment as one of the most sig
nificant feathers of Republican
party history in Georgia in many
years.
The new secretary to the presi-
dent is a relative of Clint w. Hager,
U. S. attorney who is an appointee
of the Republican administration.
The significance Of this relationship
lies in the active part taken by Mr..
in conducting a federal grand
jury investigation into the alleged
sale of patronage in Ge rgia by
Chairman Phillips.

EIGHTY-FO OUR UHDE R
APREST At SAVANNAH
ON BOOTLEG CHARGES
Prominent Residents Are Among
Those Accused by Federal
Authorities
MORE ARRESTS COMING
Accused to Be Prosecuted Under
Smuggling and Volstead Dry
Law as Well

WASHINGTON, Aug. 16-With
81 persons already under arrest at
Savannah under the conspiracy sec
ton of the federal prohibition en-
forcement act, justice department
officials here said today they behev-
ed they had finally rounded up one
of the largest, if not the largest,
bootleg forces in the United States,
Other important arrests were
forecast by these officials and the
statement made that further indict-
ments will be sought not only un-
der the Volstead act, but also under
the customs laws against smuggling.
The more prominent of those ia
ken into custody are:
John J. Powers, Vice president
and cashier Of the Exchange Bank
of Savannah.
Joseph B. Berner, merchant.
Samuel BerneE former sergeant
Of police.
a. OdEjSOl, IilGL CiIoilCs
G. Graham Baughn, lawyer.
Willie Haar, Fred Haar, Jr., Carl
Haar. Roy G. Ryan, Wolf Silver,
Reuben Tenebaum, J, H. Thomas,
Jacob Williams, Mrs. Jacob Williams
and Robert Williams, all well known
in Savannah.
The arrests are the result of the
work under cover of thirty or more
men during several weeks. Early
in the campaign one of the federal
agents was recognized by liquor
seller and the whole force was
quickly withdrawn and supplanted
by men unknown in this section OF
the country. They bought liquor
from dealers and when it was de-
livered succeeded in getting the IN
formation to identify automobiles
used in transporting the contraband.
Last night automobiles valued at
$4,000 had been seized by federal
agents. The federal agents are said
to have come to Savannah with al
legged letters of introduction to whis-
ky dealers and had little trouble in
getting liquor from them. With ev-
cry purchase evidence was secured
and when the arrests started tonight
the city was thrown into great eX-
citement.
John j. Powers, vice president
and cashier of the Exchange Bank
is charged with conspiracy to vio-
late the prohibition law. No details
of charges against him could be
procured. He is one of the best
known bankers in Savannah.
United States court is now in ses-
sion in Savannah with Judge Viii
liam l. Grubb, of Birmingham, pre-
siding.
