CARROLL'S birth
latest PROBLEM
New York Producer May Be
an Alien

Atlanta. Ga, Sept, 1.-Whether or
not the Federal authorities will at
tempt to deport Earl Carroll. Broad
way theatrical producer now serving
years sentence IN the Atlanta
Federal penitentiary. depends upon
the result of an Investigation now
in progress to determine his birth
place.
NJ. c. CoYkendall, immigration of
fetal here, is authority for the state
ment that the federal authorities are
checking up on CARROTS declaration
that he was born in Pittsburgh. Pa
Il that is shown to be the case, no
further effort will be made to deport
the theatrical producer at the ex-
piration of his sentence. but if the
investigation proves otherwise every
effort will be made TO deport him as
an undesirable alien.
The investigation is the result of
Carrolrs statement to the prison au-
thorities that mis- parents were born
IN Ireland. but that he was born in
Pittsburgh. Federal officials are en-
deaNoring to ascertain whether Car
rolls parents were naturalized and
whether he was actually born In
Pennsylvania.
If born in Pittsburgh, Carroll is
an American citizen and therefore
not eligible for deportation. But
federal authorities. who have de
ported hundreds of men at the con-
clusion of their terms in the federal
prison here, are taking every means
TO establish the facts as to his birth
place.
II it develops that he is eligible
for deportation, his petition for
parole becomes Intellectual and he
will be reured to serve out his sen
tence. As the matter now stands,
considering Carroll an American
citizen, he becomes eligible for
parole in October. after serving one
third of his time,
Carroll is now at the prison honor

NEW YORK, January Civilian
r. Newman, dental mechanic, who
abandoned his trade to become q rum
runner, continued his testimony yes
terday in the trial of IS alleged mem
beers of an international liquor ring,
telling how he kept original records
of transactions of his employers so
that he could make them come
across
The two employers, he said. were
Edward and Frank Kelly, brothers,
who are among the defendants.
Newman, who had told of being
employed by A. Bruce Bielaski. head
of the prohibition undercoVer
s agents" was subjected to severe
cross-eXamination by defense counsel.
Under this grilling he said he was
not sure who had paid him his salary
as a government employe, or whether
: he was listed as an enforcement
: agent or an infOrmer. He did not
; know, he said, what bank his salary
checks were drawn on or whether he
was paid by the Treasury Depart

When his rum-running employers
failed to pay him, Newman said, ne
wrote q letter to Gen. Lincoln 6.

LIQUOR TESTS BY IGNORANT

or his life on his Interpretation of
such a test.
Not only do all those connected
with such enterprises assume a Sc
rious risk, but we anticipate that in
iustry will be blamed in case of deaths
which may follow the decision of the
layman, who, after making these
tests, decides that g. given liquor is
potable"
Referring to charges that the Gov
eminent had been accused OF poison
ing the people, the Journal declared:
1T is not the Government that is to
blame, for under the supervision of
qualified men the Government allows
to be distributed a carefully labeled
material which, by odor and taste,
gives warning that it is unfit to drink.
IF poisoning and deaths occur, the
fault lies with those who illegitimate-
ly endeavor to unravel denatured al
cohol and with those who provide the
inexperienced layman with tests
which he Is led to believe can be
made with security by his unframed
hand and eye"
