ager and efficiency expert for the
William F.. Hooper & Sons Co, was
arrested yesterday, charged with the
larceny of s144.561 from the company
in thefts extending over a period
of four years. Gustafsen is being

The arrest came. It is said. as the
result of an investigation conducted
for more than a month by bonding
company representatives and officers
of the Hooper Mills, which manufac-
ture cotton duck.
GuStafsen'S peculations are said to
have begun in 1921, when he was ap-
pointed to the position of office man
ager, in which capacity he was in
trusted with the office employees pay
roll. For the past several years, it
is said, the manager took no vaca-
ton 50 that no one but himself had
anything to do with the pay rolls in
his charge.
About a month ago, however, in
vestigators say. he was compelled to
remain away from the office because
of illness. and it was discovered by
his substitute that the amount Gus
tafsen drew for these pay rolls was
nearly $1,000 in excess of the amount
needed.
Asked for an explanation upon his
return, Gustafsen is said 10 have de-
clared that the books would prove
the charge false. No evidence of ex-
travagant expenditures or stock mar
ket speculations by the accused man
have been found, it is said.

HILL ACQUITTAL CALLED
VICTORY FOR LIBERALS
Association Against Prohibition
Sees Possible Revision of
Dry Law.

The Association Against the Pro-
hibition Amendment halls the ac-
quittal of Representative John
Philip Hill in his cider and wine case
in Baltimore as "a fatal blow to
discriminatory legislation and inva-
sion of homes" In a formal state
ment last night the association says
the effects of the acquittal may be
"far reaching, in that it may be the
direct cause of a rewriting of the
Volstead act and regulations promul-
gated Hereunder"
Repeated efforts to obtain a ruI-
ing from the prohibition officials"
continues the statement, were in
vain, and in every instance were met
with evasion. The court ruling es-
tablishes the fact that 2.75 cider is
not intoxicating in fact, and can be
produced legally by citizens.
THE decision by Federal Judge
Soper that the one-half of one per
cent clause in the Volstead act does
not apply to beverages made in the
home for home consumption is a

Company Cites Trouble With Re-

In an effort to educate subscribers to
avoid leaving telephone receivers of the
hook. the Chesapeake and Potomac
Telephone Co. pointed out today that
In the last 10 months 12,127 receivers
were left off the hooks.
Estimating that each dangled at least
10 minutes, the company figured this
meant 2,O21 hours, or S4 days Of lost
service. Division Manager C. T. Clagett
said that when receiver is left off the
hook the operator must try to attract
the householder by using the "howler."
Failing in this. a representative of the
company must be- sent TO the house.
