$4,000 IN LIQUOR
SEIZED ON BARGE

Department Workers Among
90 Arrested.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, July 30.-Seven en-
ployes of New York's Street Cleaning
Department and 40 other men were
arrested early today by customs agents,
who seized a municipal dump barge
unloading liquor into two trucks on the
East River waterfront.
The liquor In the scow and the two
trucks, which were also seized, was in
1000 cases and was valued at $50, 900.
A customs patrol boat was making its
round when it came upon the barge
at about am. at an ash dump at the
foot Of Roosevelt street.
The five customs men tried to sur
round almost 100 men engaged in the
unloading operation, but an alarm went
up and one of the trucks started away
from the pier.
Shots were fired, knives flashed and
fists few. Many of the men on the
pier ran, and others leaped into the
river. Customs men arrested % OF
them. Inspector Beach of the Federal
force expressed belief that the barge
had made contact with a rum ship
while dumping garbage beyond the 12-
mile limit.
When two of the men arrested were
found to wear street cleaning depart
ment badges a check was made, and
seven were found to be city employees.
They were suspended. Among them
were departmental inspector, dump
inspector and his assistant.

HOOVER REPEATS
ECONOMY PLEA
Cabinet Members and Heads
of Departments Reminded
of Survey Request.

President Hoover took occasion today
to remind cabinet members and heads
of independent establishments of his
desire for searching inquiry on their
part to And methods by which econ
ornies may be brought about to avoid
deficit at the end Of the present fis-
cal year.
The necessity for resorting to this
form of economy was agreed upon at
cabinet meeting nearly two weeks
ago. after which each cabinet officer
and each head of an independent
agency were directed by the President
to make survey of his department
or bureau and to report to him as soon
as possible just what he could expect
in the way of savings.
According to the White House. these
reports have not come to the President
with the promptnesS he anticipated
and he therefore thought reminder
would hurry matters along.
In this connection the President con-
ferred today with Postmaster General
Brown, Secretary of Commerce Lamont
and Secretary of Labor Davis.
MIR Hoover's purpose in this econ
omy drive at this particular time was
prompted by a fear on hi part that
as result of the huge increase in APP
preparations for the present year, prin-
cipally because Of veterans legislation
and the public buildings program, and
the possibility of a drop in expected
revenues because of slack times, that
the Treasury may be confronted with
deficit unless some savings we're eff
fected. Mr.. Hoover thought it ex-
pedient to resort to economy In the
matter of money already appropriated
for the year, at least economies to
the extent of not interfering with the
general efficiency or the administra-
tons program of aid to unemployment.
When the President asked for this
economy survey he emphasized the fact
that the budget for the present fiscal
year, which began July last, has been
increased by $209, 100000 above the
actual expenditures for the last fiscal
year, the largest increases being for the
speeding up of buildings, inland water
ways, and public works generally in
order to assist in unemployment, with
increased relief for veterans.
The President said that he is con-
fident that measures will be found
whereby considerable reductions of
actual outlay below the amounts ap-
propriated may be effected OF course,
the amount of savings to be expected,
he said, cannot be determined until
the departmental survey has been COM
pleted.

Probe, Is Found in
Sanitarium.
az the Assoclated Press.

CHARLESTON, S. c., July 3d.
Glenn D. Mcknight, former prohibition
agent, sought in connection with the
Staying of State Senator E. j. Dennis,
was found in Baker Sanitarium here
this afternoon and placed under arrest.
Gov. Richards said this morning that
w. l.. Thornley, of Moncks Corner had
confessed he shot State Senator E. j.
Dennis last Thursday and that he was
hired by a Berkley County citizen to
do it.
The Governor would not say who
Thornley, had named, but said Thorn
ley told him his employer had kept
"hammering at me for weeks promising
me everything If killed Senator Den
MIS-"
Thornley, previously had denied he
shot the Senator.
With Gov. Richards at the State
Penitentiary when Thornley, made his
confession, the Governor said, were
Solicitor A. j. Hydrick of Orangeburg
and w. G. Wolfe of Orangeburg, law
partner of Senator Dennis.
Following the confession last night,
Gov. Richards constables, aided by Of
ficers from six counties, swooped down
on Berkeley County and arrested three
men, at which time the search for Nc
knight was started.
GOV. Richards said MIR. Wolfe had
been appointed special prosecutor In the
case.
Sheriff r. s. Hill of Calhoun County
said Berkeley County and its Hell Hole
Swamp section, where Mcknight was
sought, was apparently undisturbed by
the developments in the Staying OF
Dennis.
Meningitis activities were given Ma
ton wide publicity during the Senate
Patronage Committees probe of condi-
tions in South Carolina.
]. d. Meyer, Federal attorney, who
afterwards resigned, startled the COM
n1ittee with testimony he had made
Mcknight q prohibition agent although
the Berkeley County man had been con-
victed Of violating the prohibition laws.
Gov. Richards said Thornley, de-
scribed the shooting in detail telling
how he stood behind his automobile
with q shotgun, loaded the buckshot
and fired across the street as Senator
Dennis was facing him.
