ROUNDUP 24 Warrants Still to Be Served in Smash- ing Largest Ring. NEW YORK, Dec. 4.—(P) —Federal prohibition agents believe they have smashed the most powerful rum- smuggling syndicate on the Atlantic coast, with the ar- rest of 19 men, including the alleged head of the ring, Wil'lam Dwyer, widely known sportsman and race track ‘owner. The syndicate. they charge, bribed coast guardsmen lavishly wi money and vine. women and son; operated a fleet of 18 or more ves- sels off the coast and developed an elaborate system of contro! over both the wholesale and reta!l liquor trade, running into millions of dol- lars’ annually. Bix members of the coast guard are among the prisoners guthered in yesterday after six months’ in- vestigation. They face court- martial. The roundup, described as the “greatest in the history of pro- hibition,” was still under way today with 24 federal warrants waiting to be served. Dwyer, part owner of. the Mount Royal race track in Montrea’ and of the Coney Island track in Cincinnati, was released in $40,000 hall after hé had denied the charges. The drive began* when 32. pro- hibition agents, nine deputy United Statés marshals and seven police- men raided a dozen places in New York and Long Is'and. Federal Attorney Bucknet said the raid had practically smashed the ring. Coast guard officials in Washing- ton sald they had known for months of the bribery of certain crews, but had pot interfered as they were anxjous to give Mr. Buckner and his associates a chance at the “men higher up”. = ‘The investigation started through having the name of “Bill Dwyer thrown in our teeth in almost every case that came up," ner. “This man,” States * said Mr. Buck- aid Ass'stant United Attorney chinan = when esterday, “ nding whom the energies of the prohibition r ment tn tb ¢ € ed.

They and their friends will join in a drive covering approximately 36 square miles in the region 15 miles west of Casper.. The Salvation Army will get the rabbits, hundreds of them, long and short-eared, for distribution to hungry families here. Arrangements announced by the committee in charge call for the departure from the Industrial Re- lations building on West Yellow- stone at 9 o'clock. The only equip- ment needed will be shotguns, am- munition (anches, the hunters bringing their own. No rifles will be allowed on the hunt. The hunt will solve in’some mea- sure the problens of homesteaders of that region who complain each spring that rabbits destroy their gardens and other crops, It is possible that more drives will be carried out during the course of the winter if the first proves to be acsuccess. The committee in charge of the first hunt consists of Jack Gibbs, Eari Thompson, J.C. Warkley, 1. E. Cotton, W. H. Tolburst, Bill Morris, Red Combs and Delbert Housley.
