LARGE STILL TAKEN
WITHOUT WARRANT
Police Believe Raid Destroyed a
Main Source Of Districts
Liquor Supply.

Police cut off what they believe to
have been one of the main sources of
the Districts liquor supply early today
when a squad of sixth precinct police
men raided a house at 40 H street
and seized a 500-gallon still, together
with large quantity of alleged whisky
and mash, after arresting two men.
Antonio Cologers, 43 years old. of the
H street address, and Joe Amato, AZ, of
Sill G street, arrested before the raid,
were given a preliminary hearing be-
fore United States Commissioner @.
Turnage today on charges of possess
sion of $50 quarts of liquor and imple-
ments for the manufacture of intoXicat-
ing beverages, and held for a hearing
despite the fact that the police had no
warrant.
Headed by Lieut. o. ]. Letterman,
former head of the police vice squad,
and Sergt. Harry Blackman, the officers
swooped down on Cologers home
shortly after 2;30 o'clock and reported
finding the STILL sixty 50-gallon barrels
of mash and As gallons of whisky on
the third floor.
The still was in working order, ac-
cording to police, and the whisky con-
fiscated by the raiding party apparently
had been recently run off. A truck
loaded with ITO quarts of liquor and a
number of boxes containing empty jars
was discovered in the rear yard, the
officers said.

Soft "Hush' Stops
Milk Wagon Horse
As Patrons Sleep
''Bud'' Not Only Obeys
Silently, but Steps Quiet
ly on Rubber Shoes.

The hour is 8 am. and good citizens
passed outside the window with his
milk wagon, stealthy as burglar de-
spite his 1000 pounds of honest horse
flesh.
Bud and his driver would have gum
shoed by unnoticed, probably. only a
man who must have had something on
his conscience was lying awake early
today.
Suddenly he heard a sibilant sound
from the street outside-a sort of a
combination hush, hiss and Shush.
Soft Hush Means whoa"
The driver, it developed, was shush-
ing Bud. That meant whoa" in the
best early-morning language, Ian
guage which Bud mastered several
months ago.
K. r. Surato of 1902 Rhode Island
avenue northeast taught Bud, IN &C
cord with the company's policy among
It's fourscore drivers.
It was Just the trick to go with Buds
rubber-shod feet, and his habit OF
dumping softly through the residential
district.
Saves Peace of Mind.
The police long since frowned on early
morning noises, such as the rafting of
milk bottles, the shouting of ''giddaps"
and "whoas' or the unnecessary stamp
ing a steel-shod feet. The peace OF
mind of the citizens was at stake.
Then came the companys policy of
silence, a policy exemplified in Bud
the dark horse in the milk wagon derby.
Now Bud stops when he's ShuShed
and proceeds when the driver beckons
from down the street, where he ran
ahead 10 make the deliveries.

1lection with the large amount of money
he carries daily from a bank in WASH

Calls Charges False.
Capt. Wilson characterized the charges
hs absolutely false. "a police escort
has never been furnished in my pre-
cinct for any such purpose as this" he
declared, IF any policemen have been
performing such duty, it has been on
their own hook and without my knowl-
edge"

Judge Groner announced that while

Groner to permit both the prosecution
and the defense to produce any and all
witnesses they might care to offer. This
point has been one of the principal is
moval.
The case was appealed to Judge
Groner a fortnight ago, after j. Barton

moval following a hearing in Alex

privilege of calling witnesses. holding
he had no authority to consider the
merits of the case.
In denying the defense an opportun-
ity to question alibi witnesses. Phillips
said the Government had made out
prima facie case. He pointed to the
fact that Campbell had been indicted

Plans to Learn Effect of New
Schedule on All Glasses
of Consumers.
SMALL USERS WOULD
HAVE BILLS INCREASED
Seeks Reason for Companys Stipu-
lation Regarding Ten-Day
Payment.

Richmond B. Keech. peoples coun-
sci before the Public Utilities Commits
sion, today began an analysis of the
new schedules of gas rates in prepare
ton for the public hearing called by
the commission September II.
Keech's first move after receiving an
official copy of the new schedules was
to ask the commission for data relat-
ing to gas consumption In the Dis
trict so that he can determine the
effect of the new rates on the Various
classes of consumers.
There are several features IN the new
schedules which Keech proposes to
study thoroughly, particularly those re-
quiring the consumer to pay mini
mum charge of rs cents month. This
minimum charge would affect only the
small consumers who live in apart
ments and use gas only occasionally
as convenience.
Would Hit Small Users.
Under the new schedules the con-
sumner not using more than 100 cubic
feet of gas an hour would pay net
bill of IS cents. For gas used in excess
of 500 cubic feet he would pay S5 cents.
Keech says this rate constitutes a min
imum service charge, where the con-
sumner would pay rs cents a month
whether gas is used or not, with the
right to use 500 cubic feet without adj
ditional cost.
Consumers on this schedule, Keech
pointed out, are those who live in apart
ment houses and use gas chiefly for
brewing coffee ana frying eggs for
breakfast and whose bills run between
20 and so cents month. The new
schedule will increase their bill to IS
cents.
Idle Meters Expensive.
The gas company has told the COM
mission that approximately IL per cent
of the total meters use less than 500
cubic feet q month. Four per cent of
these meters, the company said, are
idle, with a result that they are an
expense to the company, which, under
existing rates, the average consumer
is carrying.
Keech also plans to go into the rea-
son of the company for STIMULATING In
the new schedules that bills would
have to be paid within 10 days to
avoid the 10 per cent penalty, or in
other words, the gross instead OF the
net bill
The utilities commission, he pointed
out, in an order which became effective
January / of this year. directed that
the company extend the period in which
the bills may be paid without penalty
from 10 to Is days.
The commission issued this order
primarily for the benefit of Government
employees who are paid only twice a
month, on the 1St and 18th. The 10
day period as proposed in the new
schedules, he believes will work hard
ship on these employees, or else compel
many of them to pay the gross bill
each month.
