Booze Thieves Visit Longworth

Washington. — "Hootch" thieves broke into the office of Representative Nicholas Longworth of Ohio, in the House office building and ransacked his desk and filing cases, for the fourth time in the past few months.

They didn't find what they were after.

In their rage and disappointment, they took their spite out on his favorite umbrella, completely demolishing it.

Santa Rosa.—Prohibition enforcement officers are seeking the operators of a large still which was seized on the Martin ranch south of this city. The haul also included a large quantity of illicit brandy and some mash and other materials used in distilling.
