B S AGENTSRE N LIQUGR THEFTS Justice Department Plans No, Prosecution, According , to Burns. ] GUILTY MEN OFF FORCE Private Detective Said to Have In- vestigated Case When Officials Ignored Charges. No action by Justice will be taken us a the special grand jury report afy charging nts of the departs ment with illegal removal of liquor from the Union Station and wures houses here for their own use William J. Buras, director of au of gation. said tod the matter had taken place long be- fore this administration came in. the agents in question, not named. were no longer in the employ of the de- partment. and so far as official action in the matter was concerned. the af- re inv fair was “dead.” The matter was entirely unknown to the office. Mr. Burns said. until one day ank Bunch came to a certain for return of liquor. which. he claimed. had been confiscated by fed- eral agents. Mr. Burns reported, he | <aid, that the government had m such stocks of liqguor on hand. but would investigate. An investization was conducted with the result that Director Burns' impression was foutd to be correct. There was mno liquor stored in ware ses here to the eredit of the federal agents Neo Official Report. The reports to the grand jury probably were made by Mr. Bunch. it was be- | lieved in certain quarters today. Direc- tor Burns said no report was made by the Department of J e of the situa- tion. Estimates were made by department officials that “several hundred cases” of nssorted liquors were removed illegally from the department’s evidence-cache. The value was placed near $100.000 by . T. Wright, counsel for Bunch. Wright vecently filed suit against Frank Burke, former chief of the bureau of investiga- tion; P. J. Ahern and Henry P. Alden, employes of the department. charging that they had unlawfully removed liquor from custody and converted it to tneir own us A record of the withdrawals showing the alleged signature of the Department of Justice official. who vouched for the removal in eac ase, was obtained by A private detective. according to Mr. Wright, as was also a detailed rveport on the places and persons to whomn de- livery was made after the liquor was taken from the local wareh, He de- clared these reports were availabls for presentation to the grand jury, but was unable to say whether they had been presented. Oficials Aid Detective. According to Mr. Wright. the private Aetective was placed on the case when repeated efforts to obtain return of seized liquor in_ certain closed cases re unsuccessful. The activity of this operative soon became known to high officials of the department, he said, and these lent their active co- operation. The liquor stocks covered in the grand jury report weré those taken during the operation of the Reed bone-dry amendment which probibit- ed sale of alcoholic beverages within the District during the early months of the war and during the period \hen purchases in adjacent territory were still_permissible. The Depart- ment of Justice was made the en- forcing agency and, while individuals were permitted to bring reasonable quantities into the District for their own use. agents of the department exercised supervision over the stream which immediately began to flow through the local railroad station and along each of the roads entering Washington. It is a matter of record, accord:ng to attorneys who were interested in the legal phases of the situation, that few convictions resulted from the seizures of incoming stocks. In many cases. however. the defendants failed to apply for return of their property after a case was settled, and the stocks in storage grew to proportions which, at present-day prices, would have represented a large fortune. _ KEMAL EVACUATES ALL NEUTRAL ZONE AS PARLEY OPENS (Continued from First Page.) of the situation being disposed of at a later meeting. according to Henrt Franklin-Bouillon, whose recent trip to Smyrna, where he conversed with Mustapha Kemal Pasha, was respon- sible for the summoning of today's conference. The two most important questions to be discussed today, he said, were the demarcation of a new neutral zone on the Asiatic side of the Dar- danelles and Ismid, and the evacua- tion of Thrace. He was confident that an agreement would be reached. Franklin-Bouillon Hopeful. Steps had been taken to have only responsible Turkish representatives at this and the subsequent conferences in order to prevent a recurrence of the repudiation of the egreement made last year with Bekir Samy Bey, then nationalist foreign minister. ¢ “The fact that there is common sense on both sides is the best augury for the success of the meeting.” said Franklin-Bouillon. . “Naturally many difficult points will arise, but there is no reason why we cannot solve them amicably, as the allies already have pledged to the na- tionalists all their legitimate alms. The whole question is one of form rather than of fact.” Troops Are Friendly. Franklin-Boulllon referred to s “Mustapha Kemal the Vic- torfous,” and sald that it he, Franklin- Boulllon, was selected to represent France at the negotiations it was because he was Kemal's best friend. He declared that with certain modifi- tions the Turkish leader was pleased with the allled proposals. Reports from the Chanak area yes- terday afternoon showed that on the verge of the armistice conference the close juxtaposition of the Turkish and British troops continued. The Turkish officers were making friendly overtures to the British, "offering them cups of coffee and attempting similar small courtesies. The horses of both sides were drinking from the same troughs. Americans doing business in the capital conferred yesterday with repre- sentatives of the British, French and Itallan commercial interests. Agree to Co-Operate. It was agreed to’co-operate in an effort to insure -proper protection for the foreign business men in Tyrkey in the decisions of the peace conference. The British, French and Iftalian chambers of commerce sent & memorial to their governments, urging continuh- tion of the so-called 'capitulations, at least with reference to the following important point: First, no discrimi- natory taxation of allied subjects; second, no rential tariff; third,- ail disputes M.

October 9, the anniversary of the starting of the icago conflagration, seemed to be a suitable date. and by proclamation of the President of the United States and many _state governors it has been ob- served for that purpose, “One day Is such a limited time to give to the subject that a period of seven days, ending October 9, has re- cently been set aside as Fire-Preven- { tion_week. < % “Nation-wide attention is being given this vear to the observance of the week.

Night Before Tragedy. “The night prior to the tragedy Kathleen and I went to bed at 9 the best thing for me todo was to go and find work and send for her. I got up at 4:30, and Kathleen and I had a long talk, and she insisted that 1 stay and have breakfast, and I said, ‘No, Kathleen, your folks are no friends of mine, and I will not sta but will get breakfast along the road.’ I started to go three times, but Kathleen would cry as I started away. The room was dark, and I was trylng to get away before her people got up. The gun was lying between us on the bed. I heard the report of the gun, and I called Kathleen. She did not answer, then I heard some one coming upstairs, and I ran lo the barn; knowing if Kathleen could not talk I would be accused of shooting her, and I wanted to hide until she was able to talk. ‘When asked if he knew how the gun got ‘to the manger in the barn he said: ~ I never saw-the gun after I heard the repdrt. .I want Kathleen to tell the truth how she was shot, and It she does I will be'a free man tomor- and If she doesn’t tell the 1t i because her [olks won't let 11- i | 1 FLEAS BY RADIO shing- | by broadcaet | ! greater fire loss each vear than sust#hred in the appaliing conflagr: {tion in Chicago in 1871.

Working on the theory that most business men are’ scoundrels at heart, with no idea of | {serving the public, but intent only on {robbing the public, the Wilson regime enacted restrictive laws, established meddling bureaus and did everything that anybody could think of to bur- den business and hamper - com- nierce. * ¢ * . “A republican President and Con-; |gress have already made some neces- sary alterations in this anti-business and prosperity-paralyzing Wilsonian national tax system, and still further isteps in the same direction will be taken until business is so relieved that industry and trade can once more go forward, freely and at full vigor.” Uniform Tax Plan Advocated. ‘The national tax system should be decentralized, Mr. Beveridge declared. In his argument on taxation he sug- gested “to stop the confiscation of business capital by exorbitant taxes on business some just and uniform tax plan must be devised,” and de- clared that “perhaps the best plan yet suggested for that purpose is that of a non-cumulative sales tax which would be collected each day in the ordinary course of trade and paid to the government every month.” As a means of relieving the trans- portation situation, Mr. Beveridge de- {clared that the “national agreement’ made by William G. McAdoo, with the railway labor unions should be abol- ished and that the Rallroad Labor Board should also be discontinued. “American transportation must be freed from the iron hand of artificial and arbitrary governmental direction and placed once more under the con- trol of economic law,” said Mr. Beve- ridge. No Entangling Alliances. | The speaker concluded With a briet reference to foreign affairs, and made the declaration that “we stand by the traditional policy so long maintained that it is now a vital element of American institutions—the policy best announced by Washington, of honorable friendship for every nation and political partnership with no nation.’ \ —_—— FIVE DIE IN LANDSLIDE.
