society woman who believes in pro
hibition enforcement and some young
women of society and the stage who
get thrill out of Broadway night
life share part Of the responsibility
for the gloom that prevades 5s
ordinarily scintillating night clubs
and cabarets.
Federal agents claim that a promi
nent woman whose name is in the
social register and who felt it a civic
duty to enforce the dry laws intro
duced a pseudo English nobleman tc
some young woman friends of Broad
way and Park Avenue. He, in turn
introduced other "butter and egg
men, to the young women, who vel
coined these escorts with apparently
fat bank rolls and gladly introduced
them into resorts of gayety nearly as
hard to enter as the 400 itself.
The agents spent $4,000, it is said
at the Office of Federal Attorney
Emory +. Buckner, entertaining the
young women and gathering evidence.
Then, when injunctions and com
plants in paddock proceedings had
been served on the select 5S, the
agents quit Broadway for a health
farm In Connecticut to recover from
the effects of bad liquor.
The liquor obtained in most places
was something terrible" in the
opinion of the men who drank it for
the Government. At least SO per
cent was cut OF adulterated, they
claim. and some contained two per
cent wood alcohol. Samples were
obtained in rs places, the agents de-
clare, and at least Is in addition to
