Thre deputy United States marshals now are held under bond on charges of conspiracy to violate the probibition laws, Meanwhile charges of liquor buying by high officials and ordinary citi- zens alike have been on the increase. Recently it was announced that a list of hundreds ot names of prominent Lootleg customers had been seized in a police raid, but the superiors of those who made the rald so success f shifted responsibiity for the li: Lackward and forward that the names themselves finally disappeared entire- Iy from public attention, No Probe Ordered There have been repeated demands in congress for an investigation; grotesque picturizations of Washing- | ton floating in a sea of rum have been published widely and the capital has been the butt of many quips and much ridicule some of it wholly based on exaggerations; but every move for a publie inquiry into con- ditions has for one reason or another fallen short of the mark. Today it was apparent, however, the shooting of Senator Greene had deeply stirred these in official positions. Many of his colleagues in the senate and his old friends in the house where he served for ten years, said they were ready to demand that something be done. Both the police and prohibition officials were very sparing in their comments, although they all attributed ‘the blame to those who were resisting arrest, It was not entirely clear whether blame ever could technically be paced where it belongs. These who were passing along the street at the time had only a fleeting glimpse of flying automobiles and flashing fire of pistols, and those who teok part in the battle told conflicting storles, Two men who were in the ear under pursuit said when they subsequently were captured, that they had not fired at all, byt thelr story was contradicted by their pursuers, No Booze in Car There was no liquor in the sup- prosed bootl o car, when it was overhauled. The whole inecident, the offies suid, zrew out of a previous successful effort by detectives to pur- i half pint of Nquor in the al- ley where the chase started, The prohibition car was on its way to raid the place when the other automobile | was discovered drawn up at the door where the purchase had been made, Prohibition agents said the occu- pants of the car were unloading a still. The two men arrested sald they | only had gone into the alley to get| “a copper kettle,” They were taken after the chase had been pursued into the Virginia Hills across the Potomae and they declared they had discarded kettle on the way After the N-ray examination eof Senator Greene, this morning, Dr. fMomas A, Groover made this state- ment: “The bullet struck a glancing blow on the frontal bene, toward the left. | While it did cause a fracture in that region, the bullet is not now lodged in the senator's skull” The physician added that while his investigation was preliminary, hopes r recovery of the patient were en- ) hanced by absence of the bullet Thorough Inyvestigation Intelligence officers of the treasury | were {nstructed today to make thorough investigation of the shoot- ing.
