vent of prohibition.
_ Six heads of breweries were ar-

New Jersey. ‘
said more than $1,000,000 in cash
had been paid by the brewers dur-
ing the past yehr to Federal agents.
Beer Source Bcvmled.
The raid appears to have solved
the mystery as to the source of the
tremendous amount of illegal beer
which has deluged New'York City
and vicinity during the past year.
In addition to Foley. those arrest—
ed were Major Herbert Kata. secre-
tary of the Peterson Brewing and
Melting Company. Paterson; Ed-

New Jersey; George Seeber. presi-
dent of the Rising Sun Brewing
Company. Elizabeth: Theodore J-
Goldman and Theodore I. Schwatz-
man. proprietors of the Herman
Chemical Company of Brooklyn.
The charge against the men is con-
spiracy to commit bribery.-
' They were immediately rushed
from the Pennsylvania Hotel here.
where the arrests were made. before
United States Commissioner Boyle
in the Federal building.
At the instance of Colonel Ho'-
wat‘d, each was held in $15,000 bal
for a. hearing November 1.
The arrests foliow long dickcring
and working with the brewers on the
part of highly trusted-agents of' the
Intelligence Clint of the Internal
Revenue Bureau and Secret Service
agents.
' Colonel Hayward said the plot or.
lginatcd more than a year ago when
the New Jersey brewers began a
war to prevent the Pennsylvania
bran-era from smuggling real beer
through New Jersey and into Sew
York.
The proposals to bribe agents or
the Government. it was said.‘\vere
first made to Saul Grill and “’illiam
Dunigan. two New Jersey prohibi-
tion agents. “'hen the proposition
was made to them. they made it
known to their superiors.
Each week a bribe of $4,500 was
paid to the agents to permit the
New Jersey beer to come into New
Yorkua'nd to obstruct the Pennsyl-
vault beer. it was revealed.
At present. McQullhn said, he has
880,000 in cash in his safe in his of-
fice, which he declares. was part of
the bribe money which was paid to
the agents. and in turn given to their
snpcflors. .
