power to inquire into alleged

believed Government funds are

The Wheeler resolution, If

sweeping probe ever attempted

Wheeler, a conservative though
steadfast "dry," declared that

condition is due to corruption
and inefficiency in the prohibi-

Schafer today expressed amaze

Herbert's Report
In his report Of the occurrence
to Doyan, Herbert said:
I'm December, 1928, I started
on annual leave to visit my home
In Worcester, Mass. . Business Of
Importance to the service could
have been presented in the
territories of other administrators
lying between Baltimore and
Worcester.
"The Commissioner of Prohibi-
ton was consulted and gave
authority for the use by me Of
Government owned automobile
to continue the journey after Of
ficial business had been per
formed to Worcester.
Returning to Fort McHenry
the Nash brougham was bumped
by another car and ditched-one
of the valves was disabled and
the car could not be operated on
its own power until it received at
tention. The brougham was
towed about q mile and left in
garage and the return journey
to Baltimore was completed by
train.
'"The next day two mechanics
from the Fort Mcf1enry garage,
inI another government-owned ma
chine, were sent to tow in the
disabled car at the place Of
temporary storage"
Car Sold For $50
The car, which Herbert char
acterized as troublesome piece
Of machinery" was sold there
after at public auction. Herbert
failed to mention the price re-
ceived, but in Flynn'S charges
against Herbert he declares that
it was sold fer $37.
Herbert told Doran that, in
1927, q government-owned Buick
roadster he was driving collided
with q notorious and that, on
March Q, 1928, a government

ton Bureau.
He said the trunk was an "old
battered one which had been
around the prohibition office for
some time," and that one Of the
mechanics bought some oil cloth
with his own funds, made Her
bert q present of it, and put it
on the trunk for him.
Flynn also charged that on
August /, 1929, Herbert went on
q 26-day leave Of absence to his
home in Worcester, Mass, and
took 'for his own personal use
and pleasure a Government
owned Buick coupe, with oil and
gasoline. the property Of the
