FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 21, 1924 SIDELIGHTS ON RAID Mr. Starbnek, at whose ranch home on Maple-ave, Fullerton, was engineered the biggest booze raid in So. Cal., was looking forward to a good sleep tonight, the first in weeks. Of necessity most of the operations of the investigators was at night for that is when the bootlegger sallies forth. Consequently, Starbuck was compelled to be up at all hours of the night. Many nights he never got a wink of sleep. When the "exhibits" began to collect they were stored in Starbuck's bedroom and he slept with two or three guns within his reach. When the exhibits crowded the room so that he could no longer use it as a bedroom, Starbuck did what sleeping he could on a couch in an adjoining room and armed guards were on duty night and day outside the house the last few weeks when the evidence piled up to a value of $2000. An electric fan was kept going to send the fumes of the fusel oil out an open window. Whenever an operative made a buy, it was carefully catalogued with name of seller and buyer, hour of purchase, location, price, etc. Each bottle was sealed with sealing wax, bearing the finger. It was reported today that when print of the purchaser. the news of the raid reached an Anaheim man who has been mentioned as a counselman candidate of the "United Soaks Ass'n." he called up from his club and told his wife to dump his ten-gallon supply in the sink. Imagine, if you can, the tragedy of throwing away $160 of liquor on the eve of a political campaign! "Why, gentlemen, I am sure you have made a mistake. I am so sorry you have come to my house at this hour, awakened me with a request like this. It is true we have a little something for home consumption but nothing like you pre-looking for," said a Santa Ana woman arrested. In her bedroom was found several quartes of what she said was "grape juice, fermented." In the closet in the room occupied by her mother was found another consignment. In the cellar reporters going the rounds but before he goes into the room he was glad to utilize the amenities of the news men. It was a puzzled group of Fulton citizens on South Maple-st who saw car after car of stern faced men draw up to the curb and stop. Little did they know that in a few moments a "most extensive" call on bootleggers, blind piggars, 'soft drink dispensers' hip pocket liquor sellers, home brewers, wineries, et cetera was to be launched. But they knew something was up and whispered suspiciously about it. Several alleged bootleggers returned to Huntington Beach last night, got their clothes and told friends they had been "called out of the city" suddenly, it was reported. They haven't been seen since. At a Santa Ana cafe the wrong warrant was served on the man behind the counter and he stood his ground until the proper paper was supplied. One Santa Ana residence, the abode of a suspected bootleger, failed to yield the young man but a deputy was posted to nab him on his return. The evening's sleep was rudely interrupted. A bit of irony entered into the arrest of the man at the home of the woman with a cellar full of grape juice fermented. At first he said he wasn't the husband of the woman next time he said he was and finally admitted to the federal agent, in the presence of the whole squad, that he wasn't her husband at all. He said he recently had been employed at the new county jail. Some one suggested he might get "fourteen years." "Will I have to work hard," inquired. The officers assured him he would. Orange-cofficeers who under the direction of Mr. and Mrs. Eddie Ward, special investigators, led raiding squads, were Bert Barr, who has "knocked over" more reporters going the rounds but before he goes into the room he was glad to utilize the amenities of the news men.

"Why, gentlemen, I am sure you have made a mistake. I am so sorry you have come to my house at this hour, awakened me with a request like this. It is true we have a little something for home consumption but nothing like you are-looking for," said a Santa Ana woman arrested. In her bedroom was found several quarts of what she said was "grape juice, fermented." In the room in the office occupied by her mother was found another consignment. In the cellar was found a veritable "winter's supply." It took three reporters and two deputies to cart it all out to the waiting car. In addition to the woman the deputies accompanied by a woman deputy, took into custody, a "star boarder" whom they accused of a statutory offense. Two Mexicans took to their heels when four cars drew up in front of a Santa Ana 'residence.' A deputy sheriff took after them but they lost him in a maze of alleys. In every one of the Mexican houses raided children were found scattered about on the floor asleep, few bedelothes thrown around them to keep them warm. The children were not even waked by the noise of the raiding party. In several cases the women wept at the sight of their husbands going to jail. On Pine street, Santa Ana, a house was raided and a 12-year-old girl taken into custody. An operative of the federal dry squad accused her of selling liquor to him. She denied the charge hotly and knocked a dog on a reporter. While one reporter guarded the door another kept a watch on the five men, one woman and the girl, who made up the household. Chief of Police Claude Rogers said he would send a health inspector to the place to condemn it. The federal agents said the place was one of the filthiest they had ever been in. A large quantity of 'vinegar' was confiscated. The father and grandfather of the girl were arrested. The Los Angeles Examiner had two reporters and a camera man assigned to "cover" the story. The Los Angeles Times had two men. A federal operative objected to the federal agent, in the presence of the whole squad, that he wasn't her husband at all. He said he recently had employed at the new county jail. Some one suggested he might get "fourteen years." "Will I have to work hard," inquired The officers assured him he would. Orange-cofficers who under the direction of Mr. and Mrs. Eddie Ward, spealel investigators, led raiding squads, were Barr, who has "knocked over" more bootleggers and illicit booze joints in the last six months than any other officer in the history of the Anaheim police department; Chief Art Eells, of Fullerton; Chief Claude Rodgers, of Santa Ana; and Jesse Elliott, of Santa Ana. Barr, who was "in on" the plans of the raiders for the entire ten weeks, is another one who would like to catch up with some sleep. Chief Eells says that since Barr began to "put the fear of God into 'em" in Anaheim, conditions have been much better in Fullerton. "The ego of the bootleggger is always a big factor in favor of the officers on his trail," says Special Investigator Eddie Ward, the "Jazy Eisenstein" of the Pacific coast, who engineered the big raid. "Each bootleggger thinks he is too clever for the detective; it's always the other fellow who is going to get caught. He'll stand around watch us grab somebody else. Consequently, we don't worry if we don't find our man at first when we go out with the warrants. We always get him in time. We have never lost more than two in a raid. To those whose knowledge of booze raids was limited to hear say or to what they read in the paper, it came as a surprise that Ward's dry squad, recognized as the most effective that has ever operated in So Cal., is made up of young men and women, all in their early 20s. Mr. and Mrs. Ward are under 25 but they "know their stuff." Alto the operatives dress and act while on the sleuthing job as the sporty type, they are a sincere, purposeful bunch. It is a solemn commentary on the whole illicit liquor traffic that the bootlegger's business is principally confined to Announcement SIGNS Announcement SIGNS FOR LESS! Cut Rate Sign Shop A. L.
