REPORTER ADMITS "SEA
CABARET" STORY UNTRUE
Herald Tribune investigation Forces San
ford farrell to Confess Floating
Saloon" was Fabrication

The New York Herald Tribune regrets
to state that the story which appeared in
its columns on the morning of August 10
under the headline New Workers Drink
Sumptuously on 17,000-Ton Floating Cafe
at Anchor Fifteen Miles Off Fire Island"
was false. AS the result of an investiga-
ton begun several days ago by The Her
ald-Tribune, Sanford FARRELL, who wrote
the article, was compelled late yesterday
afternoon to confess that it was untrue.
He has been dismissed from the staff of
this newspaper.
The circumstances of the case are these:
On August Is The Herald Tribune re-
ceived tip from a source believed to be
wholly reliable that large ship on which
liquor was sold to parties visiting her
from the shore was anchored beyond the
twelve-n1ile limit, somewhere between
Bay Shore and West Hampton. Mr.. Jar
rell, who was first employed by The Trib-
une August 7, 1922 and had always borne
the reputation of being an Industrious and
reputable reporter, was sent out to verify
the story.
Reported Tip True
After two days absence, during which
he reported back to the Office from Bay
Shore, he wired the city editor that he
had established the truth of the tip and
was returning to New York He re-
ported what he declared to be the facts
regarding this floating cabaret in fullest
detail and was told to write them, which
he did.
Thereafter, in the regular course of his
work. he was sent back to Bay Shore and
Fire Island to gather additional details re-

Craetor Spiritus.' Then they sang in
English %, Holy Paraciete.'
At the conclusion of the service two
girls in white snuffed the candles.
Then the girls passed Bishop Acheson
in single file and said they hoped they
would not be unmindful of the Heavenly
Vision.
Bishop Acheson had supper in the din
ing hall with the girls As he entered all
rose and remained standing until he was
seated. Grace was sung by the girls and
there was a most happy Sunday evening
supper.
Just where are the work of the league
and the sermons of Bishop Acheson in its
behalf going to end? There is no doubt
that the influence will be far-reaching
indeed.

FEWER PATIENTS RECEIVED
Not SO Many Persons are Taken to
City Hospital Since Prohibi-
ton Came

In a special report to the mayor of the
city of Newark, N. J., DR.. Snayely, med
zeal superintendent OF the city hospital,
notes heavy falling eff in the number of
persons received as patients in the hos
pita1 this year suffering from alcoholism.
Statistics on this subject show that while
up to this period last year 2,306 alcoholic
patients were given treatment at the hos
pital, the number of the same class re-
ceiving similar treatment up to the same
period of this year was only l,421. These
cases for the most part are plain or fancy
DRINKS. Commenting upon the report of
DR.. Snavely, the Newark Evening News
says
Such a pronounced falling off
might be due possibly to decrease
in drunkenness in the community.
In that case the effect of the raiding
activities of prohibition enforcement
agencies, of injunctions and the pad
locking of saloons, all of which must
have been interfering with the avail
ability of the alcoholic supply, could
also explain the decrease in the num-
Der of victims of the deadly stuff that :.
followed prohibition into the market.

ton. The vets concede that the state is
hopelessly lost to them. A year ago they
looked upon it as fruitful field for null
LITIGATION and open defiance of law en-
forcement. Whatever the male voters of
the state do, the women have a purpose
to keep it dry. The influence of the re-
cent biennial session OF the General Fed
Grafton of Women's Clubs held in Cali
fornia has been promotive of prohibition
and law enforcement. The campaign of
the Association Against the Prohibition
Amendment has been of such character,
it is asserted, as to discredit the wet
cause.
Business, industrial and professional in
terests are against the return of the sa
loon and the novelty of beating the law
is wearing out. Respect for the law is
growing.
Candidates for legislative positions to
be voted on at the primaries August 20
were listed by the California AntiSaloon
League. They were questioned as to
their attitude on prohibition law enforce
ment, including the upholding of the
Wright law.

PROHIBITION HURTS BUSINESS
Liquor Firm Asks Deductions From
Income Tax Because Dry Law
Destroyed Trade Mark
Value

Liquor interests are claiming deduc-
lions from income taxes before the new
board of tax appeals because of losses sus-
tanned when prohibition went into effect.
The board has set September for
hearing an appeal by the Joseph Garncau
Company of New York City liquor deal
crs and importers. The appeal is from a
refusal of the Internal Revenue Bureau to
allow deduction from gross income for
a loss OF good will and trademark assets
by the adoption of prohibition. The COM
pany sought refund from taxes paid on
income of 1913, 1919 and 1920 to make up
for losses sustained when national prohi-
bition became effective January 10, 1920.
The taxes involved amount to more than
$4,000 A firm of Cleveland brewers also
have filed appeals for reduction.
The petition of Joseph Garneau Com
pany is interesting in that it is tribute
to the effectiveness OF prohibition. 1t
reads:
On January TO- 1920, when national
prohibition became effective, the COM
pany of necessity discontinued the
liquor business entirely. Some nine
months later, however it did procure
from the federal prohibition commits
sioner petition authorizing it to i'm
port and since that time has imported
some liquors for non-bevcrage pur-
poses and has sold the warehouse re-
ccipts therefor
The loss of good will and trademarks
value for which deduction is claimed,
arose out Of the enactment and opera
ton of the national prohibition act.
The submission of the Eighteenth
Amendment to the Constitution of
the United States to the states for
ratification and the enactment ard
operation of the national prohibition
act after its ratification, destroyed the
good will asset and such destruction
contributed loss properly deducted
from gross income in determining
taxable income.

gardng the story. lie spent two days on
this. assignment, August Is and 10, but the
reports he submitted were SO vague that
suspicious as to the truth of his original
article were aroused.
The Herald-Tribune thcreupon began
an independent investigation of the facts.
John A. Wilbur and James Zegel, local
prohibition agents at Bay Shore, fur
nished Information to Captain R. Q. Mer-
rick, divisional prohibition chief at New
Yorl, City, which proved of material aid
in the investigation. Up to a certain point
this inquiry seemed to confirm Jarrell's
first story, but as it developed it SOON be-
came apparent that he had never visited
the liquor-laden craft on which he said
he had spent the night
Sends Written Confession
Mr.. farrell was closely questioned and
at first insisted that the story was true in
every detail. Gradually, however, he be-
gan to weaken and admitted "embellisll-
ment." He was given every opportunity
to offer confirmation, but could not do so,
except in unessentia1 details. Still insist
ing that his story was fundamentally true
and would Stand up" he left the office,
promising to return and straighten out the
matter.
Instead he sent back a written and
signed confession that his article was false
and admitted that sufficient evidence has
come into your hands to prove that the
story of the floating cabaret" was wholly
without foundation.
In his confession FARRELL further says:
"In anticipation of the natural penalty for
my misdemeanor and assuring you of my
sincerest regret about the whole affair, l
herewith tender you my resignation as
member of the Herald Tribune staff, to
take effect at once"
