speakeasy,' Owen explained today as he fingered about prohibition headquar- ters wondering what his nights work was going to do for him.
 With Agents Frank Gallo and Will liam Vogt I went to the house and rang the bell No one answered. Then we went up the front steps and I gave the door shove. It was open. We went inside and found the furniture in dis orderly condition.
 Things were sort of scattered about" ;" Owen continued. like there had been a party. We went into the kitchen and found Ii or 15 whisky glasses scattered about, Also there were cigarette butts.
 Found 66 Cases
 ''We, therefore. decided that our guess was right, that the place was a swell speakeasy We went down in the the liquor was kept. We found 66 cases of assorted liquors and some empty and some partially empty bottles.
 "A man named Gustave Ross came along and said he knew Mir. De Fritsch, that he was. a fine man and that he didn't think, he could be guilty of any thing that could be interpreted as break ing the VOlstead laws. But. we had to go ahead with the raid and the liquor was loaded on truck and taken to headquarters"
 De Fritscb has hired counsel to get his liquor back and from Washington has come a demand that everyone con. nected with the raid make a full state ment of the matter and send it to tht capital. Commissioner Boyle says th' whole affair is most regrettabIe and in sists that he gave Gwen a search war rant under q misapprehension.
 Owen is wondering if he was right in assuming that 14 or 15 whisky glasses and several cigarette butts can transform the home of prominent clubman into speakeasy.

Dry Authorities Are Worried
 By Raid On DeF ritch Home
Niece Of Chief Justice Taft Involved, And Wash
 ington Asks Explanation,

NEW YORE. Aug. 2.-Prohibition Agent Robert Owen tired of raiding liquor-filled garages in Brooklyn and shoddy rum parlors in Manhattan and sought variety from so sordid pursuits in sortie against what he himself de- scribed as a swell speakeasy in fash ionable East Fifty-fourth street, just off Fifth avenue.
 Along with two other Volstead en- forcers. Owen .swooped down on his prey. He came away with 66 cases of assorted liquor and much trouble. What Owen had gotten into was the wine and liquor vault in the home of Hugo Gilbert de Fritsch, member of more exclusive clubs than Owen has fingers, and what is more important. the husband of a niece of Chief Justice William Howard Taft of the United States supreme court. Mir and Mrs. De Fritsch are at their summer home on Long Island.
 All A Mistake
 Now, it seems, the raid was all d mistake, Enforcement headquarters in Washington has ordered an inquiry into the affair, and United States Commits sioner John N. Boyle, who provided Owen with the search and seizure war rant which made the raid possible, has let his underling down with thud.
 Such raids on private homes blessed with private stock are deplorable, Boyle said today. When the request for war rant came to him, the commissioner ex- plained, he was not advised that the speakeasy was a private home nor even the home of niece of Chief Justice Taft.
 Owen applied for the search warrant after he had watched the house on tip from a friends, he says. While th' sleuth stood across the street car ar rived in front of the house and pack ing case, marked Scotch whisky, was carried inside. Owen immediately ap- piled for his warrant and got it.
