FOR BOOTLEG
Pro Agents Seek Source OF
Washington's Alcohol
Supply

WASHINGTON. Aug. 20.-P-
The source Of $4,000 gallons Of per-
fumes and other legitimate alco-
holic products, believed converted
into bootleg liquor fAr consumption
in the capital, was the object Of
search today by a special squadron
Of prohibition agents.
Believing the arrest of seven per-
sons. two of them women, within
the past few days had uncovered a
large alcohol running ring. agents
turned to Pennsylvania and Mary
land to uncover the production GEN.
ter for Washington's supply. The
quantity converted was believed to
have been disposed Of in the past
two months.
w. A. Heddens. in charge Of the
agents specializing in major con-
spiracy cases, said he hoped to OBJ
tain sufficient evidence to permit
James M. Doran, chief of the bureau
of industrial alcohol, to cancel any
industrial alcohol permits that
might have been abused in supply
ing Washington's thirst.
The observation-disclosures arrested
were said to have brought the al
cohol into the city in legitimate
form. redistilling it here for sale
to retail bootleggers.
The public health service, mean
while. reported itself still puzzled
by the cause Of paralysis cases
which spread like an epidemic over
many sections this year after an ad-
liberated ginger extract had been
used extensively rs a beverage,
Months Of study has led them to
the belief that the alcohol con-
aimed In a particular lot of ex-
tract might have carried some
poison, as the service found many
OF the persons stricken had drunk
similar preparations for years with
out ~appreciahle effect.

SIGNAL CORPS
 OPERATOR TELLS
 OF NEW STRIKE
OBTAINED FIVE DAYS FUR LOUGH, RUSHED TO STAKE
 GROUND NEAR POORNIAN

WASHINGTON, Feb. 24, (P)- From the far reaches of the Yukon river where the temperature hovers around 70 below the terse staccato of telegrapher's key brought vivid picture of Alaska's latest gold strike.
 The richest gold strike in the history of this camp was struck on Foorman a few days ago and every man in the whole vicinity who can get transportation of any kind is going or has gone.
 The temperature is 40 below zero at Poorman where every cabin IS crowded. The one roadhOuse and store are filled to capacity All mining plants have closed down md all have rushed to stake ground at the new discovery which Is banning out unusually well. We visited a prospect shaft and were told to pan for ourselves. We broke off a piece and held the pan of dirt In boiling waters to thaw out find- ng about $296 of fine looking washed gold in two pans
 Thus reported Army Sergeant Growden of the Signal Corps, an operator at Ruby who was bitten 50 nard by the "gofd bug that he asked and received a five days leave. He travelled 29 miles day " dog team with an Indian guide and reached the discovery grounds enly to find them virtually all staked. He went on next morning accompanied by Mike Kovas, the original discovery. to Butte Creek the only one not yet staked"
 The heavy clothing and strenu- gus hill climbing with snowshoes was somewhat painful and he was pretty much in but kept going. He faturned home to camp across the TWO divides convinced that the frost must have showed up the divides a few thousand feet higher shan when we crossed them.
 m the morning we had a fine saoose steak dinner waiting some sartv with badly frozen hands. roTtad thru the parka. The next morning we went over to Diamond CreeF aHd staked claims overlook ed bg the others. We hope it is soad hnt don't know vet.
 Er5Wden was careful to add: No messages were on file when I re- turned this is the only one filed since, SC my absence was of no in- convenience to patrons"
 He also added the suggestion; Looks as though construction lays for the new find might require 3 temporary station" He concluded 5o caution, however, the cost was nigh as freighting is five cents a pound and transportation scarce, adding, will inform you of pro- gress at the new camp. Thanks for he furlough."
