De FR|TSCH RAID
LOSES AGENT lob
Prohibition Unit Returns Liq-
uors Seized From Home
of Taft Relative.
By the Associated Press.


NEW YORK, august 5.-Robert j.
Owens, Federal prohibition agent,
who led a raid last Friday on the
home of Hugo Gilgert de Fritsch,
whose wife is a relative by marriage
of Chief Justice Taft. was dis
missed from service by an order
issued from Washington last night.
Owens dismissal followed soon after
the stock of pre-prohibition liquor
seized at the time was returned to
the house by two of the other agents
who had taken part in the raid.
The action against Owens was TAX
en- ON the ground that he had misrep-
resented the facts when he had OBJ
tanned a warrant to search the de
Fritsch residence.
1t was also reported from Washing
ton that the dismissed agent might
be charged with perjury because of
failure to inform the United States
CON missioner who issued the war
rant that the raided premises were
a private residence and because of
his assertion that liquor was being
sold there. 1t was announced that
action in the matter rests with
United States District Attorney Hay
ward.
The decision to return the seized
liquor came after conference be-
tween Divisional Prohibition Chief
Merrick and Mr.. Hayward. Merrick
said he had found that. just as Mr.. de
FritSch had represented, the liquors
were pre- prohibition in the stricteSt
sense of the word"
The confiScated beverages were
carted to the de Fritsch home, in an
exclusive section of the. city, by the
agents in a big transfer van. While
experimenting the men carrying the
Hnnnr of han
remarked that they had mistaken the
residence for "a swell speak easy"
Hugh McQuillan, local chief of the
intelligence unit of the Internal
Revenue Department., sent a complete
report of the raid to Washington to-
day, accompanied by a recommended
tion for action" The dismissal of
Owens followed

cation, Finds Himself Once More
Subject to Fine.

William Green. colored. who is well
advanced in years and who has been
arrested many times by the police
for intoxication, went out yesterday

firemen, but Policeman H. h. Frye
put the old man in the jug.
He was at Seventh and u streets
northwest crying his wares and
making sales. When he succeeded IN
dispoSing of one or more tickets he
was Chesterfeldian in his thanks,
but if any prospective customer re-
fused to buy his tickets he resented
