Philadelphia & Reading Railroad Failure to Attack Source of Pro hibited Beverage Due to Lack of Data MORE SEIZURES DUE TODAY Difficulties experienced by agents of the Department of Justice in securing evidence ngainst brewers in this dis trict who nro nnd have been making 2.75 per cent beer is responsible, it was declared today for the failure of the government authorities to attack the source of the prohibited beverage. With the co-operation of the field force of the United States Internal Rev. enue Dcpnrtment, nearly 100 men, it is hoped by United States District At torney Knnt, that sufficient evidence will soon be secured to warrant the nr rest and prosecution of hnlf a dozen brewers in Philadelphia and vicinity. Following the arrest and arraignment of eleven saloonkeepers nnd seven bar tenders yesterday, the fust move in the government's campaign to stop the sale of beer, other wnrrants for the seizure of other law-breaking saloon men are now in the hands of the United , States marshal nnd agents of the De partment of Justice for service. It is expected that more than a score of saloon proprietors and their bartenders will be nrrested during the dny nnd nr-1 rnigned before United Stntes Commis- j sloner Horace It. Mnnley. Members of I the Philadelphia Iletnil I.iquor Denlers' Associntion, customarily, under advice, of counsel, waive a henring nnd offer' bnil for court. Ordinarily, the beer enses would come before the United States District Court in September, unless, be-1 cause of their importance nnd number, ' it is elected, with the court's consent, I to cmpnncl n specinl pnncl of petit jurors to try some or nil of the enses. With the filing of information against the snloon men now being nrrested there is a simplification of legnl procedure, it being unnecessary to bring each case be fore a federal grand jury. This will result in the saving of much time nnd effort on the part of the government's legal forces. Nell Bonner, president of the Phila delphia Iletnil Liquor Dealers' Associa tion, at n conference held with United States District Attorney Knne, is said to hnve urged upon him the necessity, in order to clarify the situntion regarding beer selling, of proceedings ngainst the brewers who make nnd sell the tibooed beverage to the retailers. Few saloons in this city that were open before the prosecution of beer sell ers was started by the Department of Justice closed jesterday because of the action of the federal authorities.
