CONSTABLES IN U. S. RUM RAIDS; POLICE CALLED Federal Agents Go Clear to Irvington for Aids in West End Search. LOOK INTO ‘FIXING’ TALK Squads at Federal prohibition officers and constables from the court of T. R. Rainey, Justice of the peace at 550! East Washington street, caused the police to make two runs to Haughvllle last night to investigate complaints made by residents from that part of the city. Patrolman Rominger was told that men “Impersonating Federal officers” were searching houses In North Holmes avenue and that one had offered to “square things for sso.'’ The patrolman called police headquarters and Sergt. Louis Johnson, with a squad of detec_ tires, at 2 o’clock this morning was sent to investigate. The officers found, however, that the men who had made a search of three houses on Holmes avenue were three Federal officers and five constables from Rainey's court. The complaints were made to the police by Frank Lnseah, 776 North Holmes avenue; Joseph Kralnz, 770 North Uilmes avenue; Lewis Stonieh. 763 North Holmes avenue. They are Austrians. They told the police that a fellow countryman name! Steve Bajt. 1313 North Tershing avenue, and other men, represented themselves as Federal men and searched their homos. Kralnz said the men entered his home and one took him to the kitchen while the others were searching the house. He said the one who guarded him told him he was a constable and would "square things for sso.'' Another complaint made was by Lu cah and was that after the searchers had left, he missed $3 and a fountain pen. The police went to the home of Bajt and found him In bed. Ho told the police that he and four other constables from Justice of the Peace Rainey's court accompanied L. A. Kidder, chief of the Government prohibition squad, and two other Federal officers on a series' of raids. ADVISED TO SWEAR OCT WARRANT. The police then returned to Holmes avenue and met Stonieh. Luscah and Krainz and told them If some man had offered to ”Bqunre things for $50," as they claimed they should go to the office of the prosecuting attorney and swear out a warrant. At 7:35 p. m. the police received a complaint that there were “four suspicious appearing men in an automobile at 3002 West Tenth street.” Motor Policemen Bastian and Englebright were sent to j Investigate. They found the four men ( to be Kidder, R. H. Abel, whom Kidder | replaced Monday, and two constables from Rainey's court who said their names were Leroy Joyce, 304 North New Jersey street and John Daitou, 525 Lord j street. The police say they were told the Fed- ! •ral officers and constables hail search warrants for all places searched, but that they did not know where the warrants had been issued Up to 1 o'clock no return had been j made to Justice of the Peace Rainey by his constables on liquor seized in the i raids, according to Squire Rainey. Hr j said that he did not know w hether con- j stables from his court would continue to act with the Federal officers in making other raids. SAYS CONSTABLES ARE RESPONSIBLE. Kidder, when asked about the return of the warrants, explained that he had nothing to do with this, as the raids were made on search warrants taken out In Justice Rainey's court by constables of that court and that all liquor seized was turned over to them. He said they are responsible tor making the returns. Ludwig Brudr, 2819 West Tenth street, whose home was raided, appeared before Kidder, accompanied by Steve B.ijt, one of Raney's constables, and was 1 told by Kidder that he owel the government $1,018.20, being the tax on sixty-five gallons of wine found at his home, plus the SI,OOO penalty provided by Federal statute for making wine without a Federal license. He was advised to see ofilcials of the internal revenue department and, if he desired, to make an offer to compromise the case. Officials of that department explained that the local revenue office has no authority to compromise cases of this kind without orders from the collector of internal revenue at Washington and that before this authority is given it is nec essary for pronibition enforcement officers to report the matter to the collector. Mr. Kidder said that to avoid having homes searched by persons falsely rep_ resenting themselves as Federal agents, householders should insist ou being shown credentials and badges. While the Federal agents and Rainey's constables were making their raids the police were also busy. Lieutenant McMurtry and a squad of police raided a number of soft drink places and found a small Quantity of “white mule” In tha rear of Jack Christ's place, 777 Keteham street. Three cases of bonded whisky wero taken from a machine driven by William Haverman. 660 South Sherman drive, and Allan McKinsey, 621 Oakland avenue, by Federal agents who stopped the car near Sherman drive and the Brook▼tlle road. The officers say the men admitted that they had brought the whisky from Hamilton, Ohio. The whisky and automobile were confiscated and the two men taken to Jail. That Federal prohibition agents and constables have no right to euter a hotel and make an Indiscriminate search of rooms for whisky is the opinion of a number of Indianapolis lawyers of reputation. They say that it has been held many times in the higher courts that it is necessary to have a search warrant specifically naming the person and the number of the room and that a “blanket'’ search warrant, or one made out in the name of “John Doe,” is not sufficient.

REID RELEASED; CASE CONTINUED Bond Jumper Obtains New Security This Time. Charges of grand larceny again William M. Reid were continued in city court today uhtil Feb. 1, and Reid was released on a bond signed by I sad ore Kroot, a junk dealer. Reid, the police say, tried to steal itire from an automobile in an alley in the rear of 900 South Meridian street. Reid is the man who jumped a bond for SSOO signed by Lorenz (Pop) Lcppert and the bond was declared forfeited by Judge Collins May 24, 1920. The bond was never collected and there is no, record of a suit having been filed by tinthen prosecutor, Claris Adams, to collect the bond. “Pop” Leppert said: “The young man's mother came to me and wanted me to sign that bond, the fellow having been arrested in connection with an automobile case. I signed the bond, when she and Fred Bonifield promised me Reid would show up in court when the case was called. “The fellow never showed up and Bonifleid, the attorney, did not try to protect me by askiDg that the case be continued, and so the bond was forfeited. Bonifield got SSO, which was half of what 1 got for signing the bond. I goes* he called It the attorney’s fee.”

The second of the bills that would reinstate the German lauguuge a* a subject that may be taught In the schools of Indiana was introduced in the House this morning by Representative Eph P Dailey of Allen County. The bill would permit “any modern foreign language" to lie taught In tbe high schools. The measure coincides with oue intro- | dueed in the Senate by Senator William E. Bowers of New Haven, which would ; permit German to be taught in private, elementary and parochial schools. Both of the bills are being pushed by the Allen County delegation, aided by a group of lobbyists, who appear In the Rtutehouse halls from time to time. One of the most active of the lobbyists behind the bills Is Harry G. Hogan of Ft. Wayne, formerly State manager for MnJ. , Gen. Leonard Wood's presidential campaign, and Republican chairman of the | Twelfth district. According to reports from Ft. Wayne, i the Republican tenders there promised to ' lift the ban from the German tongue If those citizens of German extraction voted the Republican ticket. The district, which has a large German element In 1 it, went overwhelmingly Republican and | now the leaders are attempting to redeem th'dr p’cd'ros. The American Letrlon Is out openly opposing the bill and In turn those assemblymen who favor restoring German to the school curriculum are objecting to , tbe Legion's boxing bill.

Sheriff Snider said: “Spurlin did not appear to realize what had happened after be was taken to Jail.

FRAN CO-SERBIAN BANK MEN HERE Pay Visit to Indianapolis Correspondent. Jean Le Bret, chairman of the board of directors, and S. Baruch, manager of the Banque Franco-Serbe, with its central Servian office in Belgrade, and the headquarters of the Institution in Paris, France, spent, part of today In Indianapolis. The two European bankers landed In America Jan. 16 for a short tour of inspection of American correspondent banks and arrived here to visit the Fletcher Savings and Trust Company, which has for many years dealt in foreign transactions in that territory through the Franco-Serbian Bank. “America does things on a gigantic scale compared to Europe,” said M. Le Bret. “That is the outstanding feature of your country to us.” M. Baruch discussing European financial conditions, said in tbe countries in which his bank operates, according ta the general situation, the careful banker should always stand with heavy reserves In his hands, practically all credit being extended now only to the financing of exporters and some of the more sound importers. M. Le Bret said European financial conditions are in much the same state of uncertainty that characterizes certain factors in the American situation. “We are carrying large reserves, pending the settlement of such dominant questions as the extent of payment of German reparations, the Russian question and similar matters. Tjntll these proh lems are solved and until the whole security field settles Into a more certain, Cifnfldent condition we are keeping much cash on baud,” he said. He expressed optimism, however, at tbe outlook for the later months of the present year. Pays 60-Cent Fare to Ease Conscience Special to The Times.

THE WAR PICTURES in the SOLDIERS’ MONUMENT There has been established in the capacious base of the Soldiers’ and Sailors’ Monument a picture gallery representative of the wars in which this country has been engaged, from the Revolution to the World War, creating an additional attraction to this unrivaled structure. It is a promoter of patriotism, educational in a historical sense, and entertaining as a pastime. Chief among the exhibits are the famous Brady civil war pictures, about 2,500 in number, a complete pictorial history of that great conflict, it being the first time the photograph was used in war. Since January Ist there has been added to the collection photographs of the World War, over 800 in number, ranging from the beginning of the war to the signing of the treaty of peace at Versailles, depicting all the horrors of war, illustrating the wonderful inventions for the destruction of life, together with the likenesses of every prominent personage of every nation engaged in the contest. Last year this Monument was visited by more than 100,000 persons, 95 per cent of whom were tourists from various parts of the world, many of them having made the trip to this city for that special purpose, and have gone away filled with admiration of this peerless achievement of architectural and sculptural art. Acting upon suggestions for publicity by residents who have inspected the interior, this advertisement is inserted for the benefit of the 250,000 citizens of Indianapolis, who not yet have visited the matchless memorial, which has spread the fame of their city and state throughout the world.
