Times staff Photo

Charges of sale and possession Of
liquor were faced today by Mrs.
Odie Sanderson because several
wives in the exclusive Boulevard
Apartments. 2100 block of New York
Avenue Northwest, complained to
police that their husbands were visit
ing her suite of rooms too often.
AS the ngry wives looked on, po-
lice forced an entrance into the San
derson apartment yesterday and
seized SO pints of gin, 40 bottles of
beer, two gallons of alcohol and two
gallons of whisky. Though Mrs.
Sanderson was absent when the
raiders swooped down. she later sur
rendered at the Third precinct.
The woman was charged with sale
and possession of liquor. SSs was
released under H9nd ee~@AA%& gue-
piled by Milton Kronheim, a bonds
man.
The charge of selling intoxicants
is based on the alleged purchase
of a half pint of whiskey from Mrs.
Sanderson.
S. F.. Graveley and r. r. Nc.
Carthy, of the Third Precinct, made
the raid.
The Washington times., 1928-12-07

The discussion over tags came up
in the trial of Leroy Jones. colored.
of the 900 block of Columbia ,Rd.
n. W.. who was charged with re-
moving property without right.
Gave Motor Number
Jones took an automobile he said
was his own from a garage, after
having it repaired, without paying
the bill. Detective Sergt. Henry M.
Jett arrested him two days ago.
Subsequently police found the
motor number of the car had been
filed off, and they questioned Jones'
ownership. He presented in proof a
registration card obtained from the
District license bureau which had
a motor number on it.
Detective Jett contended before
Judge Given that anyone could
make application for an automobile
license and registtrati IN card, and
supply motor number from his
Imagination, If he felt inclined and
knew that the car belonged to
someone else.

PLOT

Several cases of the best
high grade liquor seized in
Washington in years reposed
today in the Internal Revenue
Bureau vaults as a result of q
strange hi-jacking plot.
The ramifications Of the plot came
to light with the arrest yesterday
Of, Milton Edward Aul, Of the 14OO
block of whittier st. N. w, and
Carroll Chase sturgfs, Of Baltimore.
The prisoners were charged with
transporting and possessing liquor.
The pair were transferring the
pre-war contraband into an auto
mobile from house at Tenth and
% Streets Northwest when captured
by Lieut.. Edward J. Kelly and De-
tectives Joseph Waldron, Thomas
Sweeney and Paul Jones.
Police reported they confIscated
13 cases OF champagne, II quarts of
scented whisky, quarts OF Old
Senate whisky, bottles Of ver-
mouth. gallons /of wine, and q
bottle Of Canadian Club. A large
automobile also was seized.
Kelly said the liquor was owned
jointly by Aul and Sturgis and was
stored in the formers home. He
charged that Sturgis and several
friends went to Aul's home yester-
day and stole all the liquor.
The detectives then received A.
tip that the liquor had been placed
in garage at Tenth and o Streets.
That information was incorrect, but
led to the capture Of Aul and
Sturgis.
Sturgis was quoted by the detec-
tives as saying that he repented and
told Aul where the supply had been
taken. So the two were in the act
of changing its hiding place to-
gether when taken into custody.

This is the course already mapped
out by Sen. Reed Smoot, an op-
ponent of the McCarl interpreta-
tion of the act, and many others

and who assert some of the pro-

favored amendment and correction
of the law rather than its repeal.
Will Seek Raise
He announced that he will seek
to restore the higher pay level in
the low grades which was in the
bill as it passed the Senate. but
was stricken out in the conference
with the House.
Representative Wood declared the
Welch law has shattered the morale
Of Government workers because of
its discriminatory provisions and
that. as it stands, it is "a monstres-
ity." His statement is the first
protest on the floor of Congress
against the law since the session
opened. Both the House and SEN
ate Civil Service committees are to
