U. S. AGENT DENIES
BOOZE THEFT STORY
Total Losses at Federal Build
ing Only "Several Hundred
Dollars," Is Assertion
SLONNAKER HITS RUMORS
Admission that liquor vnlued "at
Rpvcral hundred dollars" bad been stolen
from the seizure room In the Federal
Ilulldfhg wni made today by .T. O.
Slonnnlccr, acting chief of prohibition
enforcement, although lie declared false
the reports that $200,000 worth of
"wet" gixWsliad been taken.
"KMIeulouH." sold Mr. Slonnakcr
when asked If thieves had taken n for
tune In liquors from the overflowing
seizure rooul on the fifth floor of the
Federal Duildlng. ltcports current last
night intimated liquor had been taken
down on the elevator nnd carted away
on trucks.
"Two armed men are on duty nil
night In the seizure room," he con
tinued. "They enter the room nt 0
p. in. nnd remain there until 0 a. in.,
when they are relieved by two other
armed guards. There arc also five
special watchmen on duty on the fifth
Door.
"Furthermore, thieves couldn't get
liquor down on the elevators. After the
regular operator leaves the power is
shut off. Any attempt to put the power
on again would ring an alarm bell."
Agenta last Monday, the noting chief
said, took fifty barrels of liquor from
tho seizure room to storage rooms at
Thirty-second nnd Market streets. The
seizure room is "chock full." he snld.
and contains n lnrgc quantity of "moon
shine ' and copper stills being held as
evidence.
Keports of the wholesale thefts which
Sir. Slonnakcr denied, were to the
effect that the first robbery occurred
February 3, when $150,000 worth of
liquor was said to have been taken.
Again, on April ,'t. 100 cases of the
finest liquors were said to have been
taken. The latest robbery was reported
to have occurred April 8, when $10,000
in llquois wcro said to have been taken.
PATROLMAN PLAYS FIREMAN
Quick Action Saves Family on South
Sixth Street
The quick action of Patrolman Clin
ton saved the family of Joseph Block,
2127 Hfth Sixth street, from probable
suffocation this morning during n fire.
Clinton saw smoke through the front
door nnd with difficulty broke it open.
He threw a number of burning articles
to the street and opened the doors on
tlie first floor.
When Block, who keeps a store on
the first floor, came down stairs he In
quired about the crash and wanted to
know what happened.
"Your store was on fire.V said Clin
ton, "nnd I thought It might bo a good
idea to try to put It out then get you
up and tell the firemen nbout It."
Block ogreed that it was a good idea.
So did tho firemen, for when they nr
rivcll there was little work to do. The
fire caused about $200 damage.
