MAKE 50 MILLION ILICIT PROFITS WASHINGTON, Nov. 23.—The 126 persons implicated in the indictments returned by the federal grand jury at Savannah, Ga., have distributed among themselves more than $50,000,000 in illicit liquor profits, officials of the department of justice said today. The fortunes quickly made off some smuggled liquors are shown partly by ledgers of the bootleg operators and by bank deposit books and other data which has fallen into possession of agents of the department. Distribution of this great stock of wet goods was made from Savannah by freight and express through main railroad routes to northern points. Chief Burns of the bureau of investigation, today promised further startling disclosures, as the roundup of indicted defendants proceeded in a score of cities thru the east and middle west. Federal grand jury proceedings are under way in other cities and officials of the department of justice and the internal revenue bureau are co-operating in efforts to get indictments that will strike at the source of liquor supplies. Liquor lawlessness has been permitted to gain great headway because until recently no effort has been made by the government to stop smugglers and their financial backers in American coast cities, according to the department of justice. Involved in the Savannah indictments are numerous federal dry agents who are alleged to have protected the liquor smuggling traffic trade thru the Savannah gateway. So secure were the bootleg operators in their belief of immunity from punishment that they virtually defied special under-cover men who were sent out by the department of justice.
