Less than twelve quarts of liquor, found in a vault and used as samples, were confiscated. The firm limited its business, the agents say, to case and barrel lots, but so far thy' have failed to -learn the whereabouts of -the concern's storage house or the source of supply. All the liquor seized was of old-time vintage.

Although more than a score of agents have been working on the case and took part in the raid, it attracted little attention, and no one could be found in the building who even saw the Fivs Barrets of Alcohol Seized While, this small army of operatives was confiscating twelve quarts of liquor as a reward for three months work, the police of the" Second and Christian streets station seized a truck loaded with five barrels containing more than 1400 quarts of pure grain alcohol.

-In some cases saloons have been raided tnree ana four times and in less than an after such proceedings business is resumed." This form of enforcing the Volstead act has been tried in only one case-that of George W. Sc hott. a saloon and cafe proprietor at Twelfth and Filbert streets. Following a raid there nearly a year ago, "which resulted in Mr. Schott being sentenced and serving a jail term, legal proceedings were instituted and after an injunction had been granted it was revoked by a United States District judge.
