Eight Arrests,
 Sullivan's Record
Alleged BIackmailer Has Been in Clutches of Law
 Various Times Since 1911

A record of eight previous arrests,
 mostly on the charge of theft from
 person, has been received by Captain William P. Keegan of the local de-
 etctive bureau from the Boston
 police concerning Joseph Sullivan, alleged blackmailer. Sullivan is be- ing detained at police headquarters in default of bonds of 5000 as the
 result of sending a threatening let
 ter to Edward V. Ally, prominent
 banker of Cortland. N. Y., demand | ing $50,000 under the pain of having personal and business matters pub | licly exposed.
 | As the postal authorities have de- | cided that there is law at the dis posal to punish Sullivan, the ques- | tion of trial must be decided by | either the police of Waterbury or Cortland. If the local police place
 the accused on trial it will be an- other problem as to whether MT Ally. the recipient of the letter, will
 come 10 Waterbury as witness. He has declared the letter joke and
The Waterbury Democrat., 1931-01-23

, is no longer interested apparently in what disposition is made of its au- thor. The Cortland police have ex-
 hibited the same indifference as MT Ally. Consequently the local police have been placed in the position either to tell Sullivan to get out of town or try find some police depart ment, which may have a warrant for him.
 The data supplied by the Boston police show that between JanuaryG,
 1911 and September 10, 1918 under
 the name of Herbert w. Norton,
 Sullivan has been arrested seven
 times on the charge of larcency. His first offense in Massachusetts was committed February 21, 1880,
 when he was arrested in Lawrence,
 his former home town, on the charge
 of breaging and entering. As far as
 the local police could determine he
 has not served any long sentences of time.
 Unless the New York police ex- press q desire for Sullivan's return it is expected that he will be dis charged Monday.

 On 18th Amendment
From White House Comes the RumOr That He Might Offer Further Ex- planatiOn Some Time To-day

be the signal for opening of the de- bate on the Wickersham report Numerous senators are known to be preparing themselves for extensive discussion of it.
 Senator Royal s. Copeland, dem, N. Y., q physician offered a resolu- tion today to rescind restrictions on medical liquor, saying this was the only point he could find on which the commission was unanimous.
 Official tolerance of the sale of grape juice concentrates which he described as "an absolute violation law" was attacked in the house by Rep. Celler, dem, N. Y., wet leader
 Cellar invoked the Wickersham report to back up his charges. Fruit Industries, Inc, which is carrying on O nationwide adverti5- ing campaign of a product that will change into IA per cent wine of all the delactable flavors known, is al- lowed to go unscrathed and unwhip- ped of jnstice," Cellar said.
 'They to so without any effort on the part of the administration to punish tnem."
 Cellar quoted from that part of the Wickersham report which said IHG COuIu IlOI uHucI- stand why home wine making should be less reprehensible than home brewing CT home distilling.
 Representative Laguardia, repub- lican, New York, introduced an amendment to the justice depart ment supply bill which would pro- hibit the employment of excriminals as justice department agents. The provision was voted down.
 Representative Clifford, republi- can, Massachusetts, a dry. an- nounced during the debate that his entire delegation would vote for re- peal of the 18th amendment or the Volstead act because Massachusetts has spoken and very strongly so."
 But" he added, "I will not vote for these restrictions on the enforce ment of the law while it is the law"
 Clifford explained the mounting wet vote in congress as a reflection of the vote of several states against prohibition.
 1T will vote against the law re- gardless of personal conviction" Gif- ford said, Because representative government is more important to me than anything else.''

BY RAYMOND CLAPPER.
 United Press Staff CorrespOndent) Washington, Jan 23.-(UP)-An effort was being made in some quar- ters to-day to induce President Hoover to clarify the various "in- terpretations' of his stand on re-
 vision of the 18th amendment.
 At the White House it was said
 that the president might offer an explanation later to-day though nothing definite had been decided. Unofficially there has already come from the White House inform ally the explanation that in stand ing against the possible proposed revision suggested in the Wicker sham report, President Hoover did not mean to imply he necessarily was against all revision.
 It was insisted he has an "open mind" on the question. Chairman Simeon D. Fess. of the republican national committee, after first saying the presidents message meant the republican party would be dry in 1892 later said what he meant to say was that the president had an open mind regarding revision of the 18th amendment but was against any plan which would throw pro- hibition back into the hands of con- gress in way that would harass it for q hundred years.
 Meanwhile Senator Willard F. Tydings. dem, Md, was temporarily blocked in an effort to bring up his resolution calling for senate in- vestigation as to whether pressure was exerted on the Wickersham commission. Because the senate recessed" last night instead of lad journing" Tydings was stopped by the parliamentary rules from bring ing up his resolution to-day. He is awaiting the first opportunity to do so, however. and this step will
