Prohibition Enforcement Men
Find Liquor in Two Hotels
Here Tuesday
Coming t-j thi* city at 2 o’clock
Tuesday afternoon Federal Prohibi
tion Kn.'oiceTTunt Ollicor Sam Henri
raided thro a places in the city
where lob'/.*’ was alleged to be ob
tainable. The lirst raid Was at the
Central Hotel at Smitii and State
sir. et; the second at the Ferry Hotel
at Smith and Front streets anti the
tid’d at No. : G Smith street. At both
tii i Central and Ferry Hotel liquor
was found and the proprietors were
anetied, hid at No. 20 Smith street
a search of the place failed to bring
to light any liquor and no arrests
were made.
At the Central Hotel whiskey was
found in several of the rooms and
Samuel Siegel, who is conducting
tin* place in the absence of the pro
prietor, Ham Sibersky, was placed
under arrest and taken before
1’nited States Commissioner John A.
l)olane\^where lie was held under
$700 bail for the action of the
federal grand jury. Siegel employed
Attorney Waiter J. Kielley to repre
Iiitrt
Following tin: raid at the Central,
which was done without any com
motion and without attracting much
attention, the party left for the
Ferry Hotel at Smith and Front
streets. Although a search of the
building was made no liquor could
be located and this fact for a time
baffled Con’e. So sure was he that
liquor was in the place that he look
ed everywhere possible, even in the
bottom of a slot machine built to
play phonograph records which
stood in the barroom.
Two of the party who were
searching roomsi on the second floor
came downstairs and asked Con'e
why he sent for them. He replied
that he did not send for them, to
which they replied that Jacob Ber
kowitz, the proprietor of the place,
had told them to stop their search
is Con’e wanted them downstairs.
Jon’e sent them back to work and
soon they reported the fact that
pure alcohol had been located by
them in a rear room, the door being
locked and the men had to climo
through a window and walk acro.-s
in upper porch in ordei to end
lie room.
The raid at 20 Smith street failed
o bring to light any liquor, although
wo copper measures were lotrated
jy Con'e in a live gallon can of v;a
er under the bar in a rear room.
Don’o was of the opinion that the
Measures had contained alcohol and
lad been thrown into the water as
le entered the place. No arrests
vere made however.
The room in \vhicli the alcohol
vas found was said to be occupied
>y Joseph Fingerote. The find con
listed of four quart bottles of alcohol
vhich was confiscated. It is suppos
'd that Berkowitz placed the stuff
a the room when he saw Con’e in
he building. Berkowit:. seemed ex
remely anxious to get Cdn’e to leave
lie building and even aid« him in
caking the search. When Con'e at
irst failed to find tile alcohol, l*er
mvvilz put on his overcoat and toll
Vjn’e he would go right up to the
nmniissioner’s office. The staff was
lot found until after Berkowitz had
eft the place. It is supposed that
Icrkowitz thought that by calling
ho searchers down stairs that Con e
vould leave without finding the nl
ohol hidden in the re; r room.
Berkowitz was also held by Com
missioner Delaney foi tile Federal
hand Jury, liis bail being fixed a»
:700. Berkowitz also employed
Valter V Kielley as counsel.

far as the D. inoeiatic party is con
eenied than anything: that has oc
ean*, d in th • p:.s* yc.ai or more. Gan
non threw his hot shots direct from
th. shoulder and his statement has
been thv main topic of conversation
ti. H igln i»t the commonwealth. It
was expected that several statements ,
wou'.d b made by those mentioned !
in Die statement by Gannon, hut as,
yet nothing I a;, been forthcoming.
I mmier Senator Thomas Drown
wi figured almost as much as the
governor in Gannon's attack, when
so»*n today, said that as yet he had
no st .teincm to make blit probably
would issue .1 statement late this aft

1 Tosecnlor Joseph 10. Strieker,
v hose reappointment as prosecutor
was mill’ll against Gannon's wishes,
also is mentioned more than once1
iu the statement, blit Mr. Strieker
when requested for an interview «>r
statement on the matter absolutely
refused to have anything to say and
when the reporter insisted that lie
should make some statement, asked
the reporter what he would say if;
lie was iu his place. Further than j
this he would not discuss the mat-,
ter.
The Newark Evening News in last !
night's edition carried an editorial
on the statement and also a cartoon
which pictured Gannon talking into
the cars of the New Jersey voters
ami telling them about the workings
of state politics under the Edwards
regime.
\o Comment at County Seal
N Ew JmrNtfWICK, Ecb. ~3 —
The statement of County Clerk Dor-j
nard M. Gannon in which he relates)
how Governor Edward I. Edwards,
ignored him in awarding Middlesex
county “patronage,” has fallen like .
u bombshell into the ranks of Deni-j
odrats here. Leaders refuse to com- ,
meat on the contents of the state-!
inet.it, but tin* general feeling around ,
is that this story can he taken as Ills ,
finish politically. The belief is that j
this move lias been taken for the!
purpose of permanently completing
his political activities hereabouts.
This statement, u is the opinion
of many, has caused a break which {
will result in the Democratic lead-,
ers never again rallying to his sup
port. Judge Peter E. Daly has noth- ,
ing to say regarding th statement. I
County Democratic Chairman Thom- !
a>- Hngerty refuses to dismiss the
matter, and District Court Judge
Ereeman Woodbridge would say
nothing further than that the state
ments conneeting him in the story
are not entirely accurate.
