POLICE JOIN FORCE
j OF FEDERAL DRYS
q Men Of Metropolitan Staff
Take Oath as Enforce
meat Officers.

Washington's new police Federal
agent squad. sworn in by the prohi-
bition unit yesterday afternoon. met
in Police Commissioner Oysters Of
flee early today for further instruc-
tions in their campaign to dry up
the National Capital.
Commissioner Oyster, Maj. Daniel
Sullivan, superintendent of police.
and other officials counseled with the
men, who are now cloaked with full
authority as special agents Of the In
ternal Revenue Bureau, and plans
were furthered as to the details of
their operation under dual authority
of the District and Federal govern
ment.
Launching into the new program
and cooperating with the prohibit
tion offices here, the new force will
set an example which SO far is I'M
derstood to be without precedent
anywhere in the Nation. Nowhere
else in the United States, 1t was said
at prohibition headquarters. have
police been given authority of spe-
cial agents of the Federal Govern
ment.
Sworn In at Dry Headquarters.
The ceremony of swearing in took
place at headquarters of the prohibit
ton unit, where the oath was admin
istered by Harry NJ. Luckett. chief of
general prohibition agents for the
fourth district, with headquarters
here.
Five of the 81. men whose appoint
ment had been authorized by Acting
Commissioner of Internal Revenue
Nash failed to appear on account of
illness or vacation absence. They
will be sworn in later.
When the newly constituted force
of Federal agents will make their
first raids was doubtful today, their
plans having been yelled in secrecy.
They are cloaked with full authority,
however. and might start on the war
path today, If they are prepared to
launch their campaign
Each policeman sworn in was pre-
scented with a letter of appointment
signed by Acting Commissioner Nash
and with the bronze badge of spe-
cial agent of the Revenue Bureau.
Chiefs Accompany Men.
Maj Daniel Sullivan. superinten-
dent OF police. and Inspector of Police
Shelby accompanied the special squad
to prohibition headquarters and con-
ferred with Mr.. Luckett concerning
details of their work. 1t was ar
ranged that official records of the
work of the policemen concerning
the seizures would be turned over to
tHc OIL the
fourth district for preparation of the
papers in the cases for the courts.
Police will be reimbursed for
money spent in making buys" of
liquor, but it had not been decided
yet whether the men could be reim-
bursed for the expenses of running their
own automobiles in the performance of
their duty as prohibition agents.
AS outlined on their appointments,
the policemen will serve without pay
from the prohibition unit, but it is
understood will continue to receive
the same salaries as Metropolitan
police.
Z. At the conference yesterday at pro-
hibition headquarters it was evident
from expressions of the prohibition
and police chiefs that there is a feel
ing of cooperation between the two
forces, and that there has already
been worked out a plan. agreed to by
both, by which they will work to-
4ether to. the same end.

$1,000 WHISKY PLANT
WRECKED BY RAIDERS
Two Men Captured at 200-Gallon
Still Found Near Floral
Park, Md

Prohibition agents from Washing
ton and Baltimore destroyed a
gigantic still, valued at $1,000 and
with a capacity of 200 gallons of
whisky daily, yesterday near Floral
Park, Md.
The raiding party was headed by
Agents George T. King and Thomas
E. Wheeler. who located the place
several days ago. Going to the spot
early yesterday. they waited for hours
until a group of white men and ne
groes appeared. Two negroes were
captured, but the rest escaped. The
prisoners were taken to Baltimore
to be arraigned before United States
commissioner.
The raiding party destroyed the
still, 1900 pounds of cornmeal and
800 pounds Of rye. They confiscated
two automobile trucks and an auto
mobile.
The still was of sufficient size to
take about two tons of coal daily to
operate it. A bridge was under con-
struction across a nearly creek to
allow access to the still by vehicular
traffic.

SEES Wheel MONOPOLY.
Trade Commission Cites Company
for Purchasing Competitors Stock

The Hayes Wheel Company of
Jackson, Mich, yesterday was charged
by the Federal Trade Commission
with having violated provisions of
the Clayton act in acquiring the out
standing common capital stock Of a
competing company. The Hayes
Company, it was said, manufactures
35 per cent Of the automobile wheels
used in the United States.
The commission charged that by
the company's acquisition of the
stock of the Imperial Wheel Com
pany of Flint, Mich, competition be-
tween them had been substantially
lessened and this tended to create a
monopoly in the automobile wheel
business. A hearing will be given
before the commission makes its final
ruling.
