TREASURY PROBE
 GETS UNDER WAY
Brewer Was Halted In Duplicate Bond In-
 quiry, He Says

WASHINGTON, Sept. 17.-Charles B. Brewer, who made the original charges of bond duplicating in the bu- reau of engraving and printing, testi- fled at the opening of an investigation today by a house committee that he had been blocked in his investigation by J. F. Macoughtry, head of the se- curities section of the treasury.
 Brewer declared he had been. given authority for the investigation by Un- der Secretary Winston, but after two and one-half days he was stopped.
 Reviewing the report which Secretary Mellon made to the committee after the charges had been made, Brewer de- clared he was confident that some of the bonds had been fraudulently issued in duplicate.
 The witness said he discovered that New York reserve banks had been is- suing revolving stocks, which meant that bonds which had been exchanged for those of other denominations had been re-issuel instead of being cancelled. He reported the practice to President Harding, he said, and the president agreed with his views that it was a dangerous policy.

mer directors, in which 1t is charged
by David S. Levy, stockholder of
New York, that assets of the COM
pany worth $7.500.O00 had been dis

JoSephs claimed the assets were prin-
cipally in the District of Columbia,

CIVILIAN GARB USED.
TO NAB SPEEDERS
Special Squad of 20 Men Or.
ganized to Break Up
ReckIessness.

In an effort to put a stop to speed
ing and reckless driving in Wash
ington. Commissioner Oyster an
nounced today that a special squad OF
20 motor cycle policemen in civilian
clothes has been organized.
Although this squad has been at
work since August 2. they have car
ried on their campaign quietly with
no intimation Of their activity until
today.
The plan is to have 20 motor cycle
men go on duty every other day in
civilian attire. working the in-be-
tween days in uniform. Figures OBJ
tanned from Maj. Sullivan today show
that nearly twice as many arrests
for speeding have been made on the
days when the men were not in police
uniform. The record follows:
with the men In civilion clothes,
August 2, 81 arrests: August 4, "A ar
rests; AuCust 6, 50.
With the motor cycle men in uni
form-August 3, SO arrests: August 5,
As arrests. and August 7, 49,
Commissioner Oyster indicated that
the reason which prompted the adop-
ton or this plan was a belief that
some drivers comply with the speed
limit when they see an officer in
uniform, but will step on the gas If
one is not in sight. Following out
this line. it was decided to put some
of the men in civilian clothes, so that
the motorist who takes a chance
when he thinks he is not being fol-
lowed would be unable to tell whether
or not an officer was nearby.
Capt. Oyster expressed the belief
that fast driving is responsible for
many accidents and that the motor
cycle squad will make every effort to
force compliance with the speed
limit
