FEDERAL MEN ID
 SEIZE PROPERTY
Hope to Use Old Revenue Law
 to Obtain Two Farms

Chicago, May 3 (UP1-Acting under a 66-year old revenue act, federal prohibition officials today moved 10 conflscate two valuable Illinois farms on which alcohol stills recently were seized.
 Prohibition agents will seize the farms under the law against the operation of unlicensed stills which provides for seizure of all rights and titles in the building or plot of ground" on which an unlicensed still is found
 Whether a large farm can be considered as plot of ground probably will be the point of conten- ton in the seizure according to Walter Niles, expert on prohibition and revenue law in the United States attorneys office. Wiles said confiscation Of the farms would be q difficult proceeding.
 One of the farms is a 520-aCre tract owned by Joseph Engelhaupt in Putnam county. The other is 20S acres in Bureau county, owned | by Elmer Flaherty.
 Engelhaupt and Flaherty were charged with misprision of felony after huge stills were discovered or their farms by federal agents. Tho misprision charge is an offense known as "countcnancing Jaw viola tions without reporting them to au, l thorities."
 Wiles said action to seize sucf valuable properties never before has been undertaken by the government
