MORE ARRESTS BUT LESS BOOZE FOUND 80,000 Taken Info Custody by Dry Agents Last Year AN INCREASE OF 20,000 Actually Seized Amount of Liquor Totalled Only 2,500,000 Gallons— Moonshining on Increase and So Is Making of Home Brew. Washington, July 12 (UP) — Either more citizens are violating the prohibition law or officers are becoming more adept at catching bootleggers, it developed at the na- tlonal conference of dry adminis- trators. A survey of the year ended July 1, during which efforts were made to strike at sources of illicit liquor, leaving “hip flask toters” to local police, revealed the paradox of more persons, boats and automo- biles seized but actually less liquor |captured than during the year be- fore.

Yellowly, ranked sccond, ac- cording to area reports. Many prohibition gases were set- tled out of court. In June, 209 cases were closed by compromise, netting the government about $75, 000.

Prosecutor’s Stand. Prosecutor William H. Remy gave cut statements which some persons interpreted as discrediting the al- leged Stephenson-Jackson — check, but the Indianapolis Times, a Scripps-Howard newspaper, which published it, believed that ihe prosccutor was reacting naturally in view of the fact that he was not consulted about the publicity. Boyd Gurley, editor of the Times, said that his newspaper felt that the only way to “put Indiana’s house in order” was to “avoid secrecy and let the people know what had hap- pened while Stephenson was head of the Ku Klux Klan.” Publicity Campaign.

Hili, who gave the copy to Remy, said he did not have the original and did not know where it could be found. Remy ignored the letter in his public statements, refusing to discuss it. 11 Feeling Shown. I fecling between Robert H. Moore, Michigan City attorney for Stephenson, and Warden Walter H. Daly of the Michigan: City prison, resulted in an open clash Monday. when Daly forced Moore to give up notes that the attorney had jotted down during an interview with Ste- phenson. A guard had told Daly +hat Moore vas taking notes. Daly, after reading the memor- anda, told Moore that he could not take them out of the prison. Moore then wanted to destroy the notes and Daly replied that he would take care of it. ; Moore charged Daly with wanting to make copies of the notes for “certain friends.” Daly, however, kept them. One of the statements Stephenson imade to Moore was that the alleged Jackson-Stephenson check publica- tion was not an attempt to intimi- date state officials into “doing things they ought not do.” “I am not engaged in a blackmail or intimidation scheme,” Moore quoted Stephenson as saving.

One of these checks, was for $1,- 000 was given to the republican state committee, the Times said. It was reported as a contribution by that commmittee. It becomes im- portant, the Times said, only be- cause of the note Stephenson at- tached to it, declaring that he gave it at the request of Gov. Ed Jack- son, then a candidate. The other check was for $500 and was drawn in favor of Edward Tagtmeier, an employe of Stephen- son, who was brought here in that capacity from Columbus, Ohio. The notation on that check says that Stephenson paid the expenses of Jackson's intensive campaign in the primary and was perso inter- ested in finarcing and directing its operation. This note also was at- tached by Stephenson. The Tegtmeier check was offered by Stephenson to bear out his state- ment that he spent thousands of dollars for Jackson in the primary and also in the general election.

Chamber- {lin flew from Bristol during the eve- ning and went to bed on the liner and had not reappeared this morn- 1ing before Levine left, Levine's main object at Southamp- ton appeared to be in connection with an effort to make an arrange- ment with Fraulein Rasche concern- ing her proposed transatlantic flight but according to best accounts she sailed foot free.

This situ- ation was losed today by Supt. rank M. Nichols of the state police department when he was asked to verify reports that state police pa- troling the Milford turnpike are ar- resting drivers going over forty miles an hour. Supt. Nichols said he had no re- port of such arrests, but that it was likely some motorists driving at this rate or at even a slower speed are in danger of being taken into cus- tody. “If any such arrests are being made,” he said, “it is not because the drivers are speeding, but be- cause they are operating their cars recklessly. It does not matter how slow or how fast they are‘driving, if they are proceeding in a neckless manner arrests will follow."” CONDITIONAL PERMIT ALLOWED MRS.
