U. S. Agents
Involved in
LiquorRing
John Doe Warrants Asked for
Three Suspected Federal
Officers, Following Testi
mony of Stock Broker
Alleged "fixer" Held
Chicago, Oct. 14. Arrest of
Charles Schillinger, alleged go-be
tween and the asking of three John
Doe warrants' for suspected revenue
agents involved in , "whisky ring"
operations today were followed bj
the appearance of Walter Sadler, a
former New York stock broker, be
fore a federal grand jury investi
gating an alleged plot to flood the
country with contraband whisky.
Court Attaches said that Sadler
told the jury something of his deal
ings with a distillery at Louisville,
Ky., from Miich whisky was said to
have been shipped. Seizure of this
liquor preceded Sadler's confession
thata $1,000,000 "whisky ring" had
sought to distribute Jiquor through
out the country.
Schillinger, whose arrest followed
complaint by Andrew Pappas, pro
prietor of an inn, that he had paid
Schillinger $12,000 for whisky but
received only part of the amount
bargained for, is thought by the po
lice to have obtained $100,000 from
saloon keepers to whom he failed
tp deliver liquor as ordered.
Further release of liquor from
bonded warehouses in Illinois was
temporarily suspended by R. V.
Stone, state prohibition director.
To Conduct Probe
of Whisky Ring
In Many Cities
Special Efforts Put Forth to
Determine Whether Fed
eral Employes Have Aided
Violations.
By CnlTerMl Service.
Washington, Oct. 15. As a result
of the amazing whisky ring revela
' tions in Chicago prohibition officials
are making investigations in practi
cally every city in the United States,
it was announced today.
Particular effort is being made to
ascertain as to whether federal em
, ployes have aided the ring to obtain
permits for whisky.
According to reports that have
been received by Commissioner
Kramer, at least two members of
congress and officials are involved
in the Chicago revelations.
Officials believe that the investiga
tion will disclose activities of the
rjng throughout Canada and Mexico
as well as the United States. For
months past prohibition officials
have been baffled by the shipment of
large quantities of liquor trom Caa
ada. On one recent occasion an
entire section of a sleeping car was
found filled with whisky sent in
charge of a porter to a designated
person in upper New York state.
' From this point the liquor would
have found its way to New York
City.
Ooeratiom of a gang of rum run
ners between Canada and the United
States is said to account for the
large amount of liquor now offered
for sale in New York.
A few days ago one investigator
found a saloon in the theatrical dis
trict which specialized in Scotch and
Irish whisky at $1 per drink and $12
to $15 per quart. The usual urice
for liquor sold over the bar in New
York was found to be 50 cents.
Officials of the internal revenue
department today denied that a
woman employe of the Washington
office had been found guilty of ac
cepting bribes to grant withdrawal
permits.
WHY-
Do We. Speak of a "Dark '
Horse?" ,
(Copyright, 1920, by the Wheeler Syn
dicate, lac.)
This expression, heard so fre
quently during political cam
paigns and in the vicinity of race
tracks, dates back to an occur
rence in Kentucky some 50 years
or more ago. At that time there
was a racing character by the
name of Sam Flynn who traded
in horses and generally managed
to have a speedy mount or two
which he used whenever he could
locate some ' easy money during
his travels. The best of his sta
ble was a coal-black stallion
named "Dusk Pete," almost a
thoroughbred and well fitted to
travel in the fastest of racing
company. Flynn, however, kept
"Pete" well under cover, and one
of his tricks was to saddle the
horss and mde him into town; in
order to give the impression
that he was nothing more sthan
an ordinary riding horse. ;
One day Flynn entered his
black speed marvel in a country
race meeting, and the residents,
not being over-Impressed by
the appearance of the animal,
promptly proceeded to place their
money on the local favorites.
Flynn took all the bets offered at
good figures, but Judge McMan
amee, regarded as an oracle in
all matters relating . to horses.
spotted the deception at once.
Looking over the field, the judge
turned to the local betters and re
marked: "Gentlemen, there's a
dark horse in this race that will
make some of you sick before
supper."
The judge was right "Dusky
Pete" laid well back until the
field straightened out in the
stretch and then went to the
front With a rush, winning as he
pleased. The judge' remark
quickly found its way into local,
slang 'and gradually throughout
the country, until it is now ap
plied to any entry which appar
ently has but little chaace of
winning a contest.
New York Needs More
Clerks to Take Care
of Marriage Rush
Chlraso Trlbuor-Omaha Be leweed Wire.
New York, Oct. 15. The first per
son to appear before the board of
estimate today when it began to re
vise its tentative 1921 budget was
Acting City Clerk Cruise, who asked
the board to restore to the city
clerk's allowance an item of $9,000
which had been requested for adding
to the payroll six clerks at $1,500
each a year.
Discussion resulted in the atate-
ment by the acting city clerk that
the new clerks were needed to en
able the office to keep tip with- the
increase of marriage licenses issud.
H said that in 1908, 42,720 marriage
licenses were issued and that the
number had gradually increased un
til in 1919 there were 72,671. that
for the first six months in 1920 there
were 47,813 and that the total threat
ened to run over 100,000 before the
year was out.

Indian, Attracted
By Harding's Smile,
Sends Him Blanket
Chicago, Oct. 15. Senator Har
ding's smile has won him a hand
some Indian blanket. Nana Car
rothers Learning, matron of an In
dian schol at Polacca, Ariz., tells the
story.
An Indian woman from the moun
tains saw Senator Harding's picture
in a trader's store. "Him iook good;
him have good face; him honest
man," was her comment. The
trader told her he was to be the
next "big white chief at Washing
ton." He said his name was Harding.
At the woman's request the trader
wrote the name "Harding" on a slip
of paper.
In a few days the Indian woman
retiuned to the trader's store and
unfolded a beautiful blanket that she
had made. The trader immediately
offered to buy it ad asked her "how
much?"
"Me no sell," she answered. "Me
make itfor Hading. See him name?"
In the blarrket, beautiful in color
nnd design, was woven the name,
"Harding."
"Send to him for me," she said,
as she turned to go. "Him good man
him good white chief."
