ALLEGED LIQUOR
RING HEAD HELD
FogeI, Arrested on Train Near
Baltimore, Arraigned.
$4,000 Bond Asked.

Benjamin r. Fogel, of Philadelphia
the first person named in the whole
sale indictments charging mammoth
liquor conspiracy returned by a fed
eral grand jury in Cleveland, recently
and who is described by federal agents
as the brains" of the alleged ring,
was apprehended on a train at Balti
more and brought to Washington
last night after he had been trailed
by federal agents for weeks. He was
arraigned before U. S. Commissioner
Needham c. Turnage here this morn
ing and held in $20,0O0 bail, one OF
the highest set in the Cleveland in.
dictment cases.
Fogel. who was captured while in
company with his wife and 1O-year old
son, enroute to Miami, Fla, was taken
from Commissioner Turnages office
back to the courthouse where he will
be in custody of Marshall Snyder
until bond Is arranged.
The high bond for F'ogel was set
over protests of Attorneys James f.
Hughes and William r. Black. who
represented him. Commissioner Turn.
age declared the fact that Fogel had
for weeks been a fugitive from
justice and the seriousness of the
charge warranted the high bond.

missioner Turnage was made by Attor.

ruled the point and ordered the ex.
animation to be continued. Mr..
Hughes then asked for a two week s
continuance in order to prepare his
case. Assistant United States Attor-
ney Burkinshaw, who represented
District Attorney Gordon. agreed to a
delay until next Tuesday.
Throughout the hearing Fogel main
tanned extreme calm, and would say
nothing concerning the charges
against him. II have nothing to say"
he said smilingly to all questioners.
The prisoner was apprehended by
Special Agent John A. Conwell of the
intelligence unit, assigned at Phila-
delphia. Conwell had never seen him
and recognized him only from a pic
ture which he saw for a moment at
Cleveland when called there on the
indictments. After working for days
in Philadelphia trying to locate Fogel,
he saw the man he suspected board
ing a train bound for Baltimore and
the South.
Joined Wife and Son.
Conwell followed, though still not
sure. Fogel joined his wife and son,
who had boarded the train at a diff
ferent point, after some time out of
Philadelphia. That gave Agent Con-
well his clue and he arrested Fogel
at Baltimore. Because he did not
want to separate Fogel from his wife
and child there, Conwell said. he
brought them to Washington.
Fogel. Federal agents say. was
bound for Miami, Fla, and intended
to leave the United States for some
foreign port from there. He had made
use at different times Of four aliases

mons" and Frank Wolf.''
With him in the Cleveland indict-
ments were named his brother Frank
and III others. including bankers.
warehousemen. millionaires real es-
tate men and bootleggers. The indict-
ments charge that pure grain alco-
hol has been diverted from Federal
sources for Illicit use.

Protests Heard at Meeting
Against the Tendency to
Raise Rates Here.

4 q thorough study Of the tax situ-

and assessment. At the regular

tors at the chamber headquarters, in

matter of the increase In the tax
rate and the large appropriations plan
ned for next year were discussed and
referred to the committee for study
and early report.
The discussion was started by
letter from Charles w. Darr, second
vice president of the chamber, urging
that the chamber take some action
tending toward stopping the upward
trend of the tax rate. Mr.. Darr
pointed out In his letter that the
chamber should join with the Board
Of Trade in its stand to keep down
the tax rate.
Al letter also was received from Ar
thur C.. Moses, one OF the directors,
who complained of the manner In
which property in the District 10 as
seesed. Mr.. Moses stated he felt that
downtown property Is assessed too
much and that residential structures

WEDDING OVER ANVIL
HELDsVALID TN SCOTLAND
Mere Acknowledgement Of Couple
Before Blacksmith SUFFICIENT,
Court There Declares.
By the Associated Press.

BY the AesOc1aScu Ftoe1.
LONDON, July 7.--Gretna Green
weddings are so rare now In Scotland
that the recent appearance in an Eng
iish divorce court Of q couple who
had presumably been married by q
Scottish blacksmith over his anvil has
provoked much discussion of the old
custom Of getting married by the
mere admission Of marriage before Q
third person.
Three men who were later to become
lord chancellors of England--Eldon
Broughma and Erslxine were married
in this informal manner, which stiil
IS legal In Scotland.
The couple which sought dissolution
OF the marriage bans certified to by
q blacksmith produced the black
smiths certificate. The court did not
question the legality of the marriage.
as it complied with the requirements
of the Scottish law.
While the blacksmith had no a1l-
thority to perform ceremony. the
wedding was legalized by the admis-
sion of the couple before him that
they were married, of which the black.
smiths certificate was evidence. a
written statement by any other prop
erly identified person to whom the
young couple admitted their marriage
would have been just as important q
document.

|TNHE characteristic that determines the productive
III ness Of newspaper as medium for advertisers
is the kind Of people who read it.
# all persons equally responsive to advertising
then the newspaper with the largest circulation would
bring the best results But persons vary greatly in
their needs and desires in their purchasing power in
their intelligence in their attitude toward advertising
And So newspapers vary greatly in their value to ad
versers in their ability to produce results and this
variation is dependent more on the quality, the
sponsiveness Of circulation than on the quantity.
The reason why advertisers get better results through
The Sun than through any other New York evening
newspaper the reason why they use space in The
Sun than in any other New York evening newspaper,
is because The Sun IS read BY people Of more than
average means and better than average intelligence
