WASHI TON, Aug. 22.—‘'All is Mot gold that glitters, nor is all beer that foams, and this is particularly 90 at Johnstown.” Thus J. T. Davis, Federal Probibi- tion Director for Pennsylvania, here to-day for a conference with Prohibi- tion Commissioner Haynes, summed up the situation with respect to the Johnstown beer flood. Discussing the episode, sald: “It was vastly exaggernted and re- sulted from a public official sveking notoriety in flagrant deflance of the Constitution of his country and State, which he had taken oath to support and respect. “The liquor situation at Johnstown fs under full and satisfactory control of a new and efficient group head, assisted ‘by upstanding, experienced agents. “There has been no flood of real beer, sensational newspaper reports notwithstanding. A lot of near beer was passed off as the real article and Mr, Davin the drinking public, as usual, was buncoed."" After the conference, Mr. Haynes @eclared sthe situation in Johnstown was ‘all right,’ and that no action would be necessary by Prohibition headquarters as Mr. Davis had the matter well in hand, His reports, Mr. Haynes declared, revealed that no real beer and in some instances not even near beer had been sold and that a “hullabaloo” had been created over nothing. Representative Hill, Republican, Maryland, to-day addressed a letter to Secretary Mellon, requesting the im- mediate removal of Federal Prohibl- tion Commissioner Haynes, who Mr. ‘HIN charged, ‘‘enguged in defrauding the United States Government, in that he is using and causing to be used the official mail franks of the Treasury Department for the sending out of personal political propaganda in the interest of himself and bis ussociates, the Anti-Saloon League —_——>— GIBERSON MURDER ARREST PROMISED One Not an Prisoner May Re Yet Mentt TOMS RIVER, N.

Monet is an unusual type of erim- inal. He has no bad habits, aside from that of signing other people's names, For years he has been the main support of his aged father and mother, who live in Brooklyn, He lived with them and his excuse for his crooked practices {s that he was unable to make enough money legit! mately to insure their comfort should anything happen to him, Jt {s known that ho recently put $2,000, the pro- ceeds of a forgery, in a safe deposit box in his mother's name. In November, 1911, Monet was em- ployed as a deciphering clerk by W. R. Grace & Co., exporters and bank- ers, No, 1 Hanover Square. He was popular fn the office and had pros- pects of advancement, but he was not making much money. A letter from a South American business man came into his hander in the course of his duties. It asked W. R. Grace & Co., with whom br had an account, to deposit $12,550 t+ his credit with a Philedelphia bank. Young Monet saw an opportunity to negotiate this transaction. He forget the names of J. Louis Schaefer, cashier, and of W. It. Grace to an order on W. R. Grace & Co. for $12,650. This he malied to the Phila delphia bank with orders to deposit It to the credit of the South American A fow days later he usked for u diy off and went to Philadelphia with ar order to which he had forged the name of the South American, direct ing that the $12,050 be paid to the messenger, This, his first effort, fell down because the bankers were gus- piclous. They refused to pay over the money. Monet returned to New York and forged the nume of the South Ameri can to un order directing that the money be sent to W. R. Grace & Co. The Philadelphia bank sent a draft to W. R. Grace & Co. for $12,550 Monet took it out of the muil, forged the indorsement and deposited It to his own account in the New York ‘Trust Company ‘Then he spent a few days looking around for a home in Brooklyn which he contemplated buying for hin pa- rents, In the meantime the draft got back to Philadelphia and the Indorse- ments aroused suspicion WwW.
