Arrests in New York Will Stop Flow of 6,000 Quarts Into Indianapolis, Federal Men Say—Posed as ‘Customers/ LOCAL PURCHASERS OF ‘WHITE HORSE’ KNOWN Sleuths Obtain Address of Eastern ‘Real Estate Men,’ Buy Booze and Then Go for Personal InterviewCharges Follow. Indianapolis is 6,000 quarts a month drier this month than last, according to Federal Prohibition Agents George Winkler and Seth Ward. With the arrest nf three men. posing as ‘Tea lestate men” in New York City last Friday, the flow of ,000 quarts of “real whisky" a month into Indianapolis by express was stopped, the agents said upon their return from the East. The “real estate men” conducted the largest mail order liquor business serving customers in the Middle West, according to Winkler and Ward. Weeks ago the agents received a tip that a number of business men and others able to write a check for S6O a case without having financial cramps were getting frequent shipments of very fine booze by express. In some manner the agents obtained the address of the “real estate men.” Agents Order Booze So adopting assumed names, they say, they wrote orders for liquor to “H. Bernstein Company, 1507 Broadway, New York City.” Sure enough the liquor came. The agents sent a draft for S6O in payment. They tried again. Another case came through. Ascertaining it was “regular stuff” the agents stored it in the basement of the Federal Bldg., and started after their men. Winkler and Ward, using the names under which they had ordered the liquor, called upon “Mr. Bernstein” and his “company” in New York last Friday. The flrr complained that the Indianapolis “business men” had failed to pay for the last case of liquor. A thousand pardons! Ward, who was posing as a Jeweler, explained he had been to Chicago on business and did not know the stuff had arrived. He would hasten to write a check as soon as he got home and ascertained that the liquor was safely delivered. Excellent, said the “real estate men,” rubbing their hands. "Broadway Is Yours” “Would the gentlemen from Indianapolis desire anything else? It was a pleasure to deal with men who paid their bills so promptly. “Would the gentlemen care to go on a little party Friday night? “Broadway is yours,” the agents said they were told. “We’ll be back,” promised Winkler and Ward. When they went back they took a deputy United State® marshal and warrants with them. They arrested the “real estate men” who gave names as William Max Fisher, Edward A. Fisher and George Overland. Defendants were held under $2,000 bonds to appear before a commissioner in New York, June 12. The agents said they found records showing deposits in a New York bank averaging SBOO daily in the “real estate office.” Agents Know Customers Checks signed by Indianapolis, Louisville and Cincinnati men and a long list of customers were found. Winkler chuckled as he said there were fifteen Indianapolis names on the list, but he refused to make them public. Most of the liquor sent to Indianapolis was labeled “White Horse.” agents , say. It was carefully wrapped. packed In corrugated paste board and excelsior and packed twelve quarts In a box. Salesmen on Road The headquarters at New York sent representatives who took orders, the agents said. The buyer received the goods and inspects it before he forwarded his draft. For this reason the representative of the company ascertained before the order was filled whether the buyer is “good” for payment of his bill. Ward and Winkler were asked to recommend the “H. Bernstein” company to their friends here and send in more customers. The New York concern did not sell liquor in New York but confines its activities to the mail order business only, agents believe. A gold-lettered sign over the new York office said "A Fisher, real estate.” the agents said, but there was no evidence of any papers on which any transactions in real estate were recorded, quarts of champaign were found In the office safe,-Winkler said.

By KloLsc Walton Times Staff Correspondent WEST BADEN. Ind., June 3. Renewal of the fight of the General’ Federation of Women’s Clubs for uniform marriage and divorce laws featured the first general business session of the biennial council meeting, hero today. Linking the divorce question with the child labor problem, Mrs. Genevieve Parkliurst, of New York,! associate editor of the Piotorlal Review, said: “We started the move-' ment for uniform marriage and divorce laws three years ago and let it drop for the child labor amendment. But that was a false move. The cause of child labor leaves us at the door of mismated parents. Too Many laiws “The numerous laws of today in each Stale are confusing. Efforts to get the States to draft uniform divorce laws have been' futile. The only way to do It is by constitutional amendment.” Mrs. Park hurst's address on “For-ty-Nine Marriage and Divorce Laws in the United States and No Two Alike” closed this morning's session. A further development along this same line was a resolution approved by the board Monday, to he presented at the general meeting today, calling upon the federation, “In view of present widespread opposition to constitutional amendments,” to confine its efforts at present to an “educational campaign, shaping public opinion for need of such amendment.” Touches on Divorce Mrs. Maggie W. Barry, chairman of the department of the American home, also touched upon the divorce problem in her talk on “Some Social Problems and the Home.” “Trying to fit the new woman Into homes still cluttered up with mediaeval ideals is somewhat like try* ing to put new wine into old bottles,” (Turn to Page 2) CHICAGO WON’T PAY STATE TAX Woman Leader Against Representation Battle.
