DOCTOR DOES NOT "FALL"
FOR AFFABLE STRANGER
Basket of Fruit Was Promised and
Then Small Loan Request
ed-But Not Madey

A Washington physician had an op-
portunity Friday afternoon to make a
small loan with the prospect of get
ting his money back twofold the fol-
lowing day and basket of fruit for
good measure. But the bargain
seemed too alluring and the doctor
turned 1t down.
The man walked into the doctors
office. held out a welcome hand and
reminded the physician he had not
seen him for a long, long time. The
doctor told his visitor he could not
recall ever having seen him before,
which seemed to surprise the stranger.
After talking for while, the Wis
itor announced that he was going to
bring the doctor a basket of fruit
from his farm the next day. Then he
mentioned, incidentally, that he had
lost his money while his coat was
hanging in a hotel washroom and if
the doctor would advance him a small
loan he would return it with inter-
est-and the basket of fruit.
In a letter to The Star, the doctor
explained that he did not advance the
money and concluded his letter with
this comment: BE on the lookout
for him; he is very plausible"

PROHIBITION AGENTS
FIND NEST OF STILLS
Suspect Loading House as Storage
Place for Maryland
Moonshine.

A nest of moonshine stills around
a loading house, which seemed to be
a storage place for several stills. was
found by prohibition agents in the
woods near Mechanicsville, st. Marys
County. Md, late Friday night. Three
stills were destroyed, but without a
search warrant no action could be
taken at the loading house.
The first still was located about
300 yards from the loading house and
was of S00-gallon capacity. The agents
found fourteen boxes of 500 gallons
each. full of mash, and one large
steam boiler. a plant capable of max
ing about 500 gallons of whisky a
day. Men who were seen near the
place when the agents approached
ran into the loading house and
escaped.
Another still of 500 gallon capacity
was found nearby with sixteen 500
gallon mash boxes and large steam
boiler, still hot. The third still was
discovered about four miles from the
loading house, and was of 500-gallon
capacity. with eight 500-gallon mash
boxes and steam boiler. No per-
sons were found there either, but the
boiler was hot. Agents believed warn
ing had spread to the stills when the
agents discovered the loading house.
The agents in the raiding party,
included: Rose. Wheeler, Nolan, Tupp
Fisher, Livingston, Hughes and
Letcher
