Government Investigator De
clared to Re Aiding in
Pittsburgh Probe
Washington. Feb. 22. —Government
officials decline to explain why David
S. Frawley, a special agent of the De
partment of Justice, was employed to
obtain some of the evidence being;
used in Pittsburgh through an in- '
vesication of the books of Hlie brew
ery companies.
This investigation was made under
the cloak of finding out whether the
companies were paying all the taxee
the Government was entitled to. It
is known that Internal Revenue Com
missioner Osborn requested the l>e
partment of Justice to detail Frawley!
to this wofk.
Pittsburgh, Pa.. Feb. 22. That in
formation on the returns of the Gov
ernment income tax returns, to which
only the President of 'lie United
States, the Secretary of the Treasury
and officers handling it may have
access, has been freely communicated
to others is a charge expected shortly :
to be put up to Department of Jus
tice officials at Washington with a j
demand for the removal of at least one
Government official as a result eg one
phase of the Federal grand jury
brewery investigation now in progress
here.
That they contemplate this step is
not denied by counsel for the sub
penaed brewing company officials; in
fact, there were evidences that they'
were about to act.
The income tax information, gath-!
t red by Special Agent David L. Paw
ley, of the Department of Justice, in
< Nomination of various brewing com
pany books, it will be charged in the
petition to Washington, was first corn
i-Hinicated to United States Attorney F.
l.owry Humes and later to the Federal
uranci jurors.
Penalty Provided in Law
The penalty for a Government offi
cial divulging income tax information
is dismissal from the service and dis-|
I urraent ever afterward from holding i
any office under the Government.
Official of Brewers
Refuses to Give Records
Pittsburgh. Pa.. Feb. 22.—A sensa
tional turn was given to the Govern
ment probe of the Brewery Associa
tion of the State yesterday afternoon,
when Hugh F. Fox of New Yorjv City,
secretary of the United States Brewers'
Association, refused on the advice of
counsel, to produce certain records
of the association demanded by the
Federal Grand Jury, and also to an
i-wer questions put to him by that
body.
The Grand Jury then sent a petition
to Judge W. H. S. Thomson, in his
chatSftier. asking that Fox lie cited to
show cause why h« should not be ar
rested for contempt of court. Accord
ingly an o'ffler issiiNß'Oh Fox. Oltwg
him 1 o appear before the Judge at ten
o'clock Wednesday morning to give
reasons why action should not be
taken against him.
sai»l Testimony Would be Given
Mr. Fox was •accompanied by At
torney George E. Shaw, of Reed,
Smith. Shaw & Beal, who had in
formed United States Attorney E.
l.owVy Humes, earlier in the day. that
the witness would appear voluntarily.
In answer to the Federal subpena. and
-übmit to questioning and produce
i coords demanded. Mr. Fox lelt for
New York and his counsel- later an
nounced that he would return cd
aesday with the demanded records.
Instead of the carload or two of
records which counsel for the brew
ers, opposing the subpenas last week,
-aid would be necessary, if the sub
penas were obeyed, Mr. Fox had all
the records to be brought before the
jury in a small bag.
Representatives of the Pittsburgh
nul Independent Brewing Companies,

I.ad been subpenaed. It required the

TUESDAY EVENING, HARRISBURG TELEGRAP r ~ FEBRUARY 22, 1916
MR. HARRIS BURG
| TAKES IN SHOW
With "Better-Hair* He Inspects
Fours, Sixes, Eights and
Twelves
T had been noticing quile a bit of j
advertising in the papers recently con- j
eerning the Capital City Automobile;
Show which is being held in Emerson- 1
Brantinghr.m Implement Company's,
j big building over on the corner of;
! Tenth and Market streets, so, lest i
| evening I persuaded the Mrs. to leave i
the supper dishes in the sink while j
we took a run ox er to get a look at the j
•season's best. I had just stepped up
to the'window to get the tickets when
I who should I run into but my old col
lege chum, B. R. Johnson who. as I
expected, was managing the exhibi
tion. "That's all right Harris." said
B. R„ "a portion of the receipts goes
]to the Police Charity Fund." So IJ
1 knew right away that I hadn't a !
chance to work friendship for the;
! price of two tickets.
On,ce inside the great hall we were
given the treat of our lives so far as
decorations were concerned. Green and ,
white everywhere. Smilax—miles and
miles of it trailed from pillar to pll- j
. lar, across the ceiling in graceful fes
| toons and along all four walls. There
were small cedars, ferns and palms on
tall stands spaced intermittently j
throughout the hall, and there were
cut's, cars, cars—cars everywhere. I
dare say there are enough cars there
to equip the entire remaining Ger- j
many army: aye, sufficient cars to
transport the proposed army of our,
[own Prexy Wilson.
! There was music, too. My program j
; told me it was Sara Lemer and her 1
1 orchestra, but I knew that the minute !
they struck up, for no other can ex
tract such music from rosined horse
hairs.
owever. wc came to look around and
admire the car we should like to own.
You see, we've saved up a neat little
sum to invest in a "buss" as the boys
,call it. and if this little story gets,
by the city editor 1 hope to make j
j enough out of it so that together with
i what we've saved we can talk busi- |
ness with some of those silver-tongued I
auto salesmen.
As 1 said, we came to look around
but we hadn't been there long before
an old friend. George B. Zec-h ap
proached us with: "Alav I show you
the Buick seven-passenger touring
1 car? Six "cylinders, Ir. horsepower,
i 115-incli wheelbase, and the most
popular six ever built." That isn't
I all he said. N'>t any means. But;
' say, he did have pippin of a car.
i The Mrs. liked it too and came with
in an ace of making an appointment
! for a demonstration, but I urged her |
on to the next exhibit, that of Monn
Brothers, who are handling the Pater
son. a classy looking seven-passenger.
There we were met by Luther G.
Monn. who. thinking he had a real
live prpspect gave us a line of talk
! something like this: "Here's just
what you've been looking for—a big,
roomy, high-grade six. with every nec
essary equipment you want, a design
unsurpassed for beauty and comfort." j
Just wish I could reproduce his dope'
jin full—it's the kind of talk that sells
; cars and he had "the goods" in his j
Paterson. He admits it.
j We next met Perry H. Keboch, "The
j Flying Dutchman." exhibiting) two
Jackson seven-passenger touring cars
—a four and an eight-cylinder. He
! tried hard to sell us one and when
i Perry really tries to sell a car he closes
up if anybody can. ■ Jio reports
four sales put across last night.
Adjoining the Jackson exhibit was
that of Keystone Lubricating Company
with my old friend Kd. Huhn in
charge. Kd didn't know of course that
we hadn't a car and gave a line of
talk a mile long about. .Keystone
j grease. He has a mighty interesting
exhibit and after what we saw last
night, if ever we do buy a ear, Key- f
stone grease is going to be on tap.

STORY OF CABARET
IN COURT TODAY
[Continued Front First Page.]
of the liotol met, drank and left the
place in pairs; of the curious rela- I
tionship between the Savoy and Nos. |
135. 137 and 13i» South Third street, j
and of the "little house just 'round the •
corner" on Mulberry street: and how ;
James J. McClellan. the proprietor, !
and two women whom the witnesses J
said were his wife and mother helped
conduct the place.
The Painted Women
The names of the painted women of
the tenderloin who had been men-!
tioned at the hearings of the St.
Charles and the Harris remonstrances
figured again in the tales of the Savoy, j
One or two have prison reeoriie.
The Savoy hearing was begun
shortly alter court convened this)
morning. The Harris House defenses
finished first. Before George Rovat, j
petitioner for rclicense, hud closed his
defense on Saturday an effort was
made to bring in George Dinger, a •
white-haired habitue of the place;
whom one of the witnesses declared
was frequently served with drink
while intoxicated, lie appeared this
morning and flatly denied the whole
story of his part in the affair.
The hearing of the remonstrance
against the transfer of Fred W.
Ebel's license from the National Hotel.
Fourth and State streets, to 1802,
North Sixth street, was to have been
heard to-day but because of enforced
absence from the city of counsel it
was continued until Friday.
The Visit to file Green Itooni
The hushed courtroom got its first <
thrill when the Kev. Harvey Klaer
tool; the stand to tell of a memorable
visit he paid to the Savoy "green
room" with Secretary Guyer. The
minister followed K. H. Dodge, the
newspaper investigator and while
Dodge told an Interesting story of his
findings, it remained for the Rev. Mr.
Klaer to add some high-lights and for]
Mr. Guyer to top off the tale.
"When we entered," said the min- j
ister, "one of the waiters pointed us;
out to a woman whom I was told was
Sir. McClellan's mother. She piloted,
us to the elevator and another)
younger woman whom I was told was j
Mr. McClellan's wife, accompanied
lis to the fifth iloor—the 'green room'
—in the elevator. The woman whom!
I was told was the proprietor's wife,
seemed to be in charge.
The Meeting
"We sat down at a table together," \
went on the minister, "and after a
while a young man came in and, sat j
down at the same table. He hadn't:
been seated long until a young girl i
tool? a seat with us and after the
youth had ordered drinks for the two 1
of them, they both left the place to- !
get her.
"Did you see any other women come
in unaccompanied?" asked Harry j
Sai'.ssaman, counsel for the rcmon- ;
strains.
"Yes, indeed," smiled the president j
of the No-Llcenae League, "ninny. ,
Two who took a seat near us talked to
men as if they had met them by ap
pointment. 1 overheard one say that:
she lived in Knola and that she saw
someone on the car coining over Who j
would probably 'tell her husband.'" j
Back in the courtroom someone
shifted restlessly.
The Seating Arrangements
"Many of the girls as a rule sat
! constantly at the tables, or slipped
out to retiring rooms for awhile, and !
then returned to their chairs. These
i were so arranged that when men came
in the men and giris sat alternately." j
! "What was the appearance of these
; women, as a rule?" asked Mr. Suussa- |
man. "Were they young—or old""
"As a rule they were young—very
young."
"And as to their appearance?"
"Well," said the minister slowly, "it
i seemed to me that there were a very
i great many painted faces."
"You were keeping your eyes open '
all the time?" suggested Charles H.
Bergner, counsel for McClellan.
j "Yes, sir," smiled Mr. Klaer, "that's
i what I was there for."
i Her Gown! "I-o\v—Very l.on!"
i The Rev. Mr. Klaer described
: "Mabel" the cabaret singer as "clad
| as scantily as she could be clad," as
j she picked out a male patron and sang
suggestively to him at his table. Mr.
! Guyer went into a little more detail.
"How was she dressed?" Mr. Saussa
man wanted to know of the law and
| order secretary.
"Well," mused the witness, "she
wore a gown that was cut low—very
low." and the witness added a touch
of emphsasis to his description, "in
front and back. Pier arms, throat
and shoulders were bare and—"
"Now then, tell us," cut in Mr.
Saussaman, "how she acted when she
, sang."
It Was fiie Way She Danced
"Well, she'd pick out some man as
•he sat at a table and sing to him
I directly. There was nothing obscene
iin the song so far as I could hear."
! The wtness' description rather inti-
I mated that Mabel's movements had
meanings all their own.
; "It was the way she danced the
1 suggestiveness was in her movements,
I should say," declared Mr. Guyer.
When flic Regulars Slipiied Out
How girls came and went, sat down
I at tables, made "dates" and departed
1 —the girls in some instances to return
later in the evening, were explained
iby Mr. Guyer. How the male patrons
| bought drinks for the girls; how
I many of them were served while
; visibly intoxicated; of the noise in
j the "green room" whose pink lights
'can be seen all over town: of the sud-
I den quiet which prevailed one night
] when ex-Detective Joseph lbach, offi
-1 cer for the Dauphin County Liquor
1 Dealers' Protective League v.-as pres
sent, was explained in detail. "That
night the girls who always frequented
I tho place—the 'regulars' - slipped
i out by twos and threes," said he.
An Invitation
Guyer related instances of how he
had been approached and invited to
accompany girls to Nos. 18.", or 13V or
[ 139 South Third street. "Once" said
he. "a young fair-haired woman whom
I didn't know suggested that I ae
icompany her to a 'house just round
the corner' in Mulberry street," lie;
sa-id.
The secretary of tlie law and order
league told of frequently watching
sirls and men iso to and (rom the
Savoy to the Third street houses, all j
frequenters of the "green room."
The Girl Who Giggled
"Remember anything of the ac- j
tions of any of these girls?" inquired
Attorney Saussuman.
"Yes. one whom 1 think was more
than visibly Intoxicated as she left
the Savoy, mentioned something about
•going the rounds' with the man who
was with her: And then," added Mr. i
Guyer, "she giggled."
That none would be admitted to
the "green room' who didn't woarj
"white collars" was explained by the J
law and order otlicer. Once he said i
he and some companions had to show I
that they wore white collars. He]
knew of but one man who got in with- |
out a white collar, he said. "But," j
added Mr. Guyer, "he wore a white j
muffler."
The l.ocked Door
Just before Mr. Bergner began a I
rigid cross-examination as to the ques- i
tion of Guyer's attack on the reputa
tion of the girls of the "green room,"
Guyer told of the last effort of him
self and the Rev. Klaer to get into the
cabaret.
"That night." said he, "we tried the
door but Mr. McCleilan peeked out at
UiS and said it was locked. However,
we could see four or five women stand
ing at the elevator shaft in readiness
to go to the 'green room.' "
"What time was that. Mr. Guyer?"
"Oh, shortly after eleven o'clock." t

to universal obligatory military service

David Jayne Hill, formerly American

the identity of the wielder of the fire- !
brand. He believes, however, that it is j
the work of some demented person, >
and this theory may be correct. It is
yet to be 1> lied, however, whether
the contini. arson is the work of

I'so Oil-Soaked Waste
lo nearly every case the incendiary j
has used Oil-soaked waste to start the
fires, and up to the present time this is i
about all that is known concerning the
methods used by the criminal, except
that he goes from place to place, start - i
ing a new blaze while the firemen are
fighting one previously started in some j
other section of the Hill.
Fearing that, their business places or |
homes may be the next doomed to j
destruction at the firebug's hand, pri-j
vate individuals, merchants and fac- j
tory owners have employed private
watchmen and detectives to cope with
the situation. Yesterday morning the
watchman for the 801 l Manufacturing'
Company caught a man trying to pry
open a window of a room in which is '
stored nothing but inflammable ma- j
terials. When the watchman came on
the scene the intruder, believed to j
have been the incendiary, shot at the
officer and he returned ilie fire, but j
the firebug escaped.
The offer of the SSO reward is open 1
to everybody and tho Telegraph can
only hope that few hours will elapse
before the reward can be legitimately
claimed and the criminal brought to i
i .1 ustice.
The first series of fires started by thei

that these fires were started with oil
