These, and ether alliterative titles, are the reward bestowed by an gppreciatlve public upon the mysterious individual whose activities in the field of prohibition enforcement have mode him the most feared figure in ill Liquordem today. ' In two years he has cut se wide a swath in the ranks of the moon meon moen jMne merchants that a brisk trade has sprung up In the sale of an old photograph of him, 20,000 of which have been bought by bootleggers and saloonkeepers at a dollar each. But Izzie Einstein for it is no ether laughs at such measures of defense and pursues his indefatigable way, spreading jail sentences and aonstematien in his path. Fer be it known that Izzie is a master of disguise, rivaling in his 'exploits such renowned but hypothetical characters as Sherlock Helmes, Arsene Lupin and Ferret, the Manf of a Millien Faces. Up and down the confines of New Yerk State he flashes, here today, tkere tomorrow, new placing in duress vile the proprietor of an exclusive restaurant, new pausing momentarily in a quiet hamlet te annihilate the local blind tiger. And in all his ceup3 there is that subtle flavor of whimsicality and etprice which endows them with a quality akin te genius. It is net enough for an artist and Izzie is undoubtedly an artist te perform his duty in the efficient but prosaic manner of the ordinary revenue operative. Te satisfy the esthetic demands of hi3 soul, it is necessary that there be injected in Izzie's feats of perspicuity some clement of humor, pathos, novelty or mystery. Otherwise it is net worthy of him and he lists it among his failures, 10 matter hew successful its material aspects What, for Instance, would he mere lubtly Ironical thnn bis raid upon the Musicians' Union, above the Yorkville Casine, en Eighty-sixth street. New Tork City? This place, which ran a email pri vate bar for the benefit and conveni ence of Its thousand -odd members, bad luccessfully restated the attempts of prohibition enforcement agents te get evidence. Izzie was nsslgned te the job and chose an his disguise the hnblll tntn s of an unemployed and needy mu ilclan. He lingered near the front deer until le struck up n conversation with one of the members. "Where are you from?" he was islced. "I'm a native of Pittsburgh," snid Izzie pltceuply. "far from home, and out of n job." "Maybe I could get you one," said the e her. "What de you piny?" "I piny the trombone," replied Izzie, truthfully enough. The musician took him upstairs, Wither no revenue agent had before penetrated, and found him a trombone. "Shew me what you can de," he ilrected. Whereupon Izzie took the instrument Md gave a very feeling rendition of ''Hew Dry I Am." His newfound friend was pleased 'With his technique, and net insensible te the delicate suggestion contained in the theme of the selection. . "Come ever te the bar," he said, nmd we'll have a drink te clinch It." Each had a glass of whtaky. Then tele did his duty. Se successful has he been in mask ing his movements that nwny have re fused te believe that any such person jxlsta, declaring that his entity has been fnbrlca ed In the fertile brains of prohibition agents bent upon reducing te a minimum the number of wide-open tt sorts. hzles Shadow Large Enough te Scare Fees But Izzie is n real personage, a re sourceful, energetic human being with tot hunter's instinct pulsing within pry ene of Ills two hundred nnd for fer for IJ'feur pounds of flesh nnd bone. Nature him been generous te Izzie, bath In brain nnd body. As regnrds the former, IiIh Ingenious machinations in Pursuit of offenders against the Ulght tnth Amendment speak for themselves. Rut few of the thousands who rend Mlly of his spectaculur forays have jay conception of the man himself, for his enlv known pbotegrnph Is the one urreptltjeiisly distriDiited among the 11 Wor purveyors, by whom it is treas ured as one of the most vnlunble cle awts of their stock In trade. tiii jet this nm'ile physique of Izzie sis been one of his greatest ubsets, for ver man looked unlike a detective, he Is the man.

"Beer!" said that individual, look ing at Izzie contemptuously, "Beer I You'll drink glnl" Izzie assented without appearing te take much Interest In the matter one way or the ether. He nppcarcd te fall asleep In his corner until the drink was brought. Then he rose, placed the waiter, bar tender and proprietor under arrest, marched them out of the building, dis missed the awed patrons, and locked the place up, te say nothing of its owner. On his way te the police station with his prisoner he was very nearly ar rested himself by a suspicious patrolman who thought he wns a bnndit trying te held up one of his friends. The Great Drought Gave Einstein His Opportunity Izzie has net always been a detective Twe years age he wns nn obscure clerk in the posteOicc, nnd had no expecta tions of being anything else. Then came the Great Drought, and many men were needed, nt a geed walury, te enforce the new law of the land. Since that time Izzie has found the true field for hi.s ren.nrknble tnlcnts, nnd he hns excrciped them se nssldu nssldu eusly that his arrests huvc numbered as many ns sixty-four in a single day. In these two years he bus planned nnd executed 2000 raids, ranging in importance from the most insignificant "hole in the wnll" te the most preten tious Broadway restaurant. Ne game ls tee large or tee small for Izzie. One night, suys Izzie, he and his partner nnd two woman operatives dressed themselves in the height of fashion, took a taxicab, and had them selves conveyed te ene of the most lux urious reef gardens In New Yerk. Their roles wcre these of two wealthy out-of-town business men, bent upon an enjoyable evening.

"By the wny, aren't you the new butcher who just moved in up at the next corner?" Izzie admitted unhesitatingly thnt he was none ether. Amicable relations having been es tablished, the talk became intimate and the new customer finally hinted the possession of a burning thirst. The clerk wns cautious, but at last agreed te sell half a pint of whisky. "Walt n minute," he said, "and I'll wrap it Up se it won't leek like a bottle." Izzie received his parcel, paid S4 for It, and put it in his pocket. Fer some rensen which he cannot explain a sixth nense of saving suspicion perhnps he did net arrest the man at once, but turned nnd walked slowly toward the deer. The clerk called hlra back. "Take a leek at thnt bottle," he sug gested smilingly. Izzie did se nnd found that it con tained nothing but wnter. He kept his head nnd professed great indignation.

"t" Kaplan has been mistaken for Izzie Mnsteln, with results which were ludi crous or alarming, according te the nature of his surroundings. Hia ex perience in n saloon lying hard against the Five Points, en New Yerk's Lewer East Side, ls told best In his own words t "I'm down at Mickey the (Sreek's," says Izzie Kaplan, as he recounts this episode. "I'm with friends. "We are sitting there at a table, and at the next table there are tw roughnecks fighting about seme money or something. I don't yet hear, see? "I'rutty seen one says: 'Ten dol lars nothing,' he Bays. 'Fifteen dol lars it costs you for me te knock him off. Fer ten dollars he gees in the hospital only.' "Geed night t It Is a place where they kill somebody for fifteen dollars! "Well, we sit there, me nnd my friend, and pretty seen he says: 'Iz zie,' he says, "I wonder could we gcu here something te drink? "Then I leek up, nnd there is the bartender standing clese up te me. He bus a picture in his hand, uud he leeks at me, and then at the picture, and then a me, and etcetra. I'rettj seen he says : " 'You're Izzie Einstein, ain't it?' "He had heard my friend call me Izzie. , The Other Izzie Lest His Desire for a Drink "Before I could say anything, up jumps the two roughnecks and comes and stands closer even than the bar tender te where I am. One of them grabs the picture and says: " 'It's him, sure.' "Then the ether grabs also the pic ture and leeks at me. He i caches down Inte his back pocket, but I'm out. They catch me at the deer and give me thp bummer's rush Inte the street, where I tear n hole in my pants. "It ls haul work, looking like Iz zie." However, Izzie himself Is net the sort te be routed se easily. He ls always well armed, nnd seems te knew no fear, going Inte resorts such as Mickey the (Sreek's and relegating them te the limbo of things forgotten with the gi cutest tnseuclnnce. He went ene night te n greggery en the water-front near the southernmost tip of Mnnhuttun Island, dressed as a roustabout. It was a dive of the most nolsen.e sort, frequented by foreign-born sail ors nnd the scum of the shipping In the harbor, and it bad a bad police record. There wai a crowd of naif 'drunken UTtderM la tht.pltce, tU drinking en excellent location, and they pro ceeded te enjoy themselves thoroughly. After a time Izzie beckoned te the waiter and breached the subject of liquid refreshment. Tht waiter was extremely sorry, but It would be Impossible te serve the gentlemen. "But," protested Izzie, "I saw you slip that mnn ut the next table the very same thing I um after. Come, I can't have n ceed time unless jeu fix us up." After seme further argument, the wniter retired te consult the proprietor. He returned smiling. "If you will give me your card," he said, "something might be done." Here wns an unforeseen difliculty, nnd one that required some quick think ing. He had no curds of his own with him. but it occurred te him ut the last moment that he had in his wallet two cards left recently by cullers of his office. He accordingly produced a card, nnd ns he handed it te the waiter he saw thnt the nume upon it was that of n prominent Jewish rnbbi. Apparently the credentials were satisfactory, for the man was been back, bringing with hlin four tea cups, in each of which wus n gill of very geed whisky. Izile and his colleagues thereupon tasted the evidence, and having assured themselves of Its nature, were content for the time being te enjoy the rest of the evening The bill was brought, and it was found that the four cups of "tea" had cost six dollars. Iie summoned the proprietor. Six Dollars for 4 Drinks! He Ought te Be Pinched "That's an awful price for en? drink!" he said sternly, "Yeu ought te be glad te get It nt all," retorted the propilcter, "and you won't in the future If you make se much kick about it." "Tlieie won't be any future," said Izzie. "Why net?" "Because," explained Izzie, "you are already pinched." In the matter of disguises Izzie's taste is catholic. He bus masqueraded M rei7tbiag tyn a fireman te football plnjer. The occasion in which he assumed nn athlete's habiliments is one of the brightest stars in his galaxy of exploits. Fer some time Izzie had looked with envious eye upon a cafe facing upon Van C'nurtlundt I'ark, which, while os es tenMbly as dry ns the Kahara, con tinued te enjoy a mysterious popularity. All efforts te extract evidence from the canny barkeep were thwarted again nnd again. At Inst Izzie hnd nn Inspiration. After Reme difficulty hu procured n football costume that he could get Inte, und another for his partner. Thus at tired, they lejmlicd te the park te cuiicr about. It wns hnrd work, but they stuck te it. Tp and down they run. mixing with the ether players already there, and rapidly getting thcmseUes In a statu bordering en collapse. After half an hour of this they were sufficiently het and exhausted-looking te satisfy the most captious critic. They then wnlked, puffing nnd blow ing, Inte the giateful shade of the cafe, threw themselves into chairs, nnd en treatlcd the waiter, by nil that wns him, te get them something te save their lives. The waiter was u man of mere mercy thnn judgment. He gaed with com passion upon the exhausted athletes and agreed nfter some hesitation te get them wlint they wunted. The cooling drnughts were brought nnd officially disposed of. Then, us was his went, Izzie did his duty. He Surely Did His Duty, But Paid His Pound of Flesh This deed, be asserts, while lnstru jqtaUi la- adding te. ids. fame, cost him at lenst twenty pounds ovoitdu evoitdu oveitdu pois. te any nothing of the outrageous i charges of the tailor who shortened sail en his clothing. i 'I wns the hu-Uy fullback that we'll put the ether three bottles nwny.'

Bathing Suit Is Geed Disguise for Thirsty Sleuth It being early yet Izzie decided te go down te Hockaway Beach and hear what the wild waves had te say. He spent some time en the sands, and then entered a restaurant and had dinner. When it was finished he called the waiter and asked for something stimu lating. lie wns reft. ! flatlv.

Izzie obtained a uniform nnd mixed freely with the delegates. He discov ered nil the plnces in town where liquor wns being sold and then devoted an entire day te raiding them. Eighteen scalps were added te his trophy list. Continuing his devastating course, Izzie entered the small city of Sprint? Valley, N. Y. "There were two places that sold liquor there," says Izzie, "although there aren't new. "I went into a store and bought two coffee percolators. Then I set one, ns a traveling salesman, te get evi dence. "At one plnce I offered a percolator te the proprietor for seventy -five cents. He looked it ever, said he didn't think it was worth it, but he called his wife. Pretty seen the whole family was ex amining my wares. Then finally they bought.
