Asher, “Master lore New Fields Mind” in Over Fifty Raids in Washington, Will Work As quietly and modestly as he ar- rived, J. L. Asher, “Sherlock Holmes” of the prohibition agents, master of disguises, is preparing to leave Wash- ington today after obtaining informa- tion that led to more than fifty raids yesterday, with forty-two arrests re- sultant. Official announcement that the discovery of Ashers work by newspaper men bave resulted in im- mediate orders for him to transfer activities to Pennsylvania and New York was made at prohibition head- quarters today. The liquor seized in the raids has not been checked up, and it is under-, stood the preliminary estimate of be- tween 400 and 500 gallons will be cut almost in half when the final reports are made. Raids Ended Last Night. The ralds which started at 11 o'clock yesterday morning had their end last night at 10:45 o'clock when Eliza Mack, seventy-three-year-old colored woman, was arrested on charges of selling and illegal posses- sion of liquor at 817 4% street south- west. With her was arrested Mary Shields, of the same address, on the same charges. Three galions of liquor were seized as evidence. The ralders were Lieut. O. T. Davis and Sergt. McQuade of the ‘vice squad, with Private Bauer of, the same squad, and Assistant Chief Ralph Ruby of the prohibition agents of this division, with agents Fowler, Davis and Hertzig. i “It's too bad that Asher became known,” Edgar N. Reed, divisional chief of the prohibition men, de- clared today. «We had hoped to'keep him continually under cover unt! some further raids. He's useless here now and is being transferred.” Asher {s a llving refutation of the spinfons advanced by those who maintain that Sherlock Holmes is pure fiction and impossible of being considered as a real-life character. ‘When Asher wants information he goes where he can get it. Instances of Shrewd Work. In one case he got a job as janitor in an apartmeht. Armed with broom and dustpan and clothed in a white duck coat and official “janitor” cap, | he industriously conducted sweeping operations outside of a certain door ifrom which plans of bootleggers could be overheard. He walked into ome apartment to tinker with the in Pennsylvania and New York. By this ruse he gained confidence of & clique of bootleggers. who never suspected his identification until they stared dazedly at him in a2 police station, while they were being walked to the cellroom to await bond, and he strolled about easily and smilingly talking to policemen and fraternizing with them. . Hix “Ashman” Exploit. His ashman exploit s being talked of today throughout police —circles. Acting as an “ashman” blind for some bootleggers, he helped them to -cache their illicit possessions behind a latrobe in one of the houses that were raided yesterday. When the raid took place and the man of the house smilingly invited the police to take a look around and see what they could find he almost suffered a stroke of apoplexy when they walked stralght to the latrobe and pulled out the fake paneling behind it, moving stove and hearth out and disclosing the stored liquor. It was because he obtained his {nformation by such means that Washington is becoming unhealthy for Asher. In speaking of the ralds vesterday, Lieut. O, T. Davis today declared that they were aimed at the habitual vio- lators of the eighteenth amendment. “During the past month /we cen- tered our attention somewhat, upon apartment house workers the higher class bootleg trade,” Lisut. Davis said. “What we intended ye terday was to throw a few bomb- shells into the smaller retail traffick- ers who have always been fairly well- known to us, _Asher was of Lmmense assistance to us.' A5 a matter of fact, according to an Associated Press dispatch from Louls- ville, Ky., bootieggers ‘there, recef: ing word of Asher's activity in Wash- ington, were greeting each other with a smile, a nod, and “I told you so.” “Agent Ashér came to Louisville a year ago,” says the dispatch, “a dark horse from an unannounced point. Long before his transfer to Washing- ton, about three weeks ago, hie had won the title of ‘lightning raider, and bootleggers and moonshiners were quoted as referring to prohibi- tion officers as ‘Asher’s men In all but a few cases yesterday charges of lllegal possession and selling of Intoxicants were preferred against those arrested. By night practically all had been released on bond, more than $100,000 being put up for their bail. The cases were made on warrants sworn out before United radiator, while in another room a transaction In liquor was being car- ried on He also has posed as a rum runner.
