GASTON MEANS CHARGED WITH "SHAKING DOWN* LIQUOR PEOPLE Former North Carolinian and Prin cipal in Kins: Warder Case at Con cord Again in Serious Trouble. H. E. C. Bryant in Charlotte Observer. Washington, April 24. —Gafeton B. Means, wel connected and well known in North Carol'na, is in Trou ble again if affidavis filed with the de partment of justice can be backed up with reliable evidence. This attack comes from (Chicago, where he is dis lik(Kl 'by a group of wealthy* bankers connected with the old murder charge at Concord. Department of justice agents are searching for Means, formerly em ployed for-spec'ul work by Wiliam J. Burns, director of the bureau of investigation. They are investigating charges made by certain of warehouse liquor who claim that he. representing himself as an agent of iHe department of justice, swindled them out of large sums of money. John W. H. Ciim. assistant attorney general in charge of criminal prose cution. explained that Means had been engaged by Mr. Burns, and that Mr. Burns was in California and had not made a report to him on Means. “We are hunting for Means.” said he, “and I am going to get the facts about his connection with the depart ment from Mr. Burns. It takes a lit t e time to do these things. This is a matttrv that deserves serious and careful attention. It must have prompt, vigorous and intelligent con sideration. “Mr. Burns can tell just when 'Means quit the department, and what he did while here. I shall not rush through his papery, to .get the facts, hut shall let him tell mo the story.” Mr. Grim declared that lie had seen a copy of—the affidavit -sent .to the treasury department by E. M. Salomon, of Chicago, who accused Means ami an associate, with “shak ing” him down for thousands of dol lars on a promise to have his liquor transferred- from a warehouse. Salo mon declared that his loss was more than SIOO,OOO. Chajpes W. Johnson, of Philadelphia, claims to have lost from .$15,000 to $20,000 in the same way. Mure people are ready to make similar affidavits. Treasury officials believe that the' complaints will run up a half hundred or more. The Means scheme, it is said, com menced to operate last fall. Acting Attorney General Augustus T. Sey mour said today that the last record he could find -of (Means drawing money from the department for work done was in February. 1922. He ex plained that 'Mr. Burns had employed Means. Sneaking for the department, Mr. Seymour said: “As far as I can determini* trom newspaper articles and rummers, cer tain persons who desired immunity from— p\in Vninent or protection against prosecution by the department of justice claim to have paid cer tain sums of money to Gaston B. Moans and others upon their promise to obtain such imnrfffiity or ,oO teetion. Up to this time no 6no has claimed that cither Means or anyone else has been successful in obtaining the desired results. If promises nave been made to obtain favors from ilte department of justice, no one hits been able to deliver such favors. As between men who have attempted to purchase sufcti influence and men who have promised to deliver such in fluence for payment. I am interested to the extent; only that if any one nas offered or paid a bribe to any em ploye of the department of justice while the service of the govern ment it would be a serious crime on the part of ftotli parties to the trans action. ‘ Mr, Oim reported to me some of these facts 30 days ago, and he has been conducting an investigation since that tinm. He is in full charge of the criminal work of the de partment and undoubtedly will see to it that any persoq. who has oecn promised immunity from punishment will be put on trial as speedily as possible, and anyone jj’lio has hemi guilty of crime under the federal statutes will he promptly prosecuted.” Means has been in the limelight for five or six years. He was chirg ed with killing Mrs. King, a wealthy Chicago woman, for whom he had worked, at his old home. Coneord, N. €., and was tried and acquitted. Soon after Mr. Burtis was appointed head of the bureau of investigation of the department of justice he en gaged Means to do some special work. For 10 or more year-- prior to that time Means had worked for the Burns Detective agency in various capaci ties. He and Mr. Burns have been very close friends for years. LmrMig the world war, but before the United States entered it. they were engaged by various nations for particular jobs. Means .was one of the lieutenants of Boy-Ed, head of the Herman de tective force in this country. fWhen ft became known that Means was connected . with the department of justice, protests from Chicago, North Carolina, and < their places 'Oc ean to pour in. Senator Simmons, of North Carolina, asked Mr. Burns about Mean's connection, and Mr. Burns wrote him that he was doing certain special work the nature of which could not be mode public. Soow the storm against Means became so strong and widespread that Attorney General Daugherty had him suspend- Fed. (Still complaints eaihe. It was as sorted by people in the department who knew Means that he was still occupy : ng a rorim there. But, after a few months, the talk about him died down, ahd lie lived h'rc at a popular northwest hotel, and conducted a private business. It was generally understood that he had fesumod Ins old place with the Burns agency. Severn weeks ago Secretary Mellon was informed that Means was engaged in a lucrative game with owners of large quantities of liquor. Affidavits followed, aid itliey were turned over to the depart ment of justice. Means left here >ei*n 'time ago, presumably for h's health. Mr. Crim said today the last he heard <if him lie whs in Few York. Some of his friends reported that lie was in Florida. I The men who claim to, have been fleeced by Qfc&ns tell all interesting NEW AUDITORIUM AT NO. 2 SCHOOL. * The auditorium at the No. ti School is one of tin* largest and most mod ern in ('aharms Uounty. It has every facility that goes to make an up-to date auditorium, and has proved very beneficial in tire work conducted in the school. „ The auditorium has raised floor, theatre seats and accommodates more than 700 persons. Exercises of County Commencement, to Ire held next Saturday, will he hold in the auditorium. story. They say that Melius and tin associate, a man who never had any connection with the department, ap proached them with a very plausible proposition to get liquor moving. They -were to secure permits for so much per barrel, but would not take the moneys until tli<* goods were de livered. But the tax had to be paid stuff could leave the ware house. This mounted up in a hurry, for it was more than $6 a gallon. Tne co-operating victim put up mat money, and. according to evidence in the hands of the government agents, he never saw Means or his pal any more. Means will fight/He is not convict ed by a long shot, but the department of justice is going into the case thoroughly with view to p. jse cuting hint on the charge of bribery, conspiracy, or impersonating an offi cer. If it turns out that. (Means did “shake”—down the liquor people while he was an employee of the depart ment of justice, he mav have to an swer for accepting a bribe ana for conspiracy to violate the laws or tne nation. If he acted after he quit, but represented himSMf to' be an agent of the department, he can be indicted for impersonating an officer to de fraud. Mr. (Tim refused today to state whether or not he thought 'Means was guilty. He rested on the declara tion that he would act promptly and vigorously to get at the truth. His first great desire is to hear from Burns, and his seconfl, to locate Means. /T)p JVniie, Willie!

BELIEVE FRANCE IS WILLING TO REDUCE ;QERJIAN DEBT Set New Ilfittfke as About 50,000,000- " 000 Marks. London, April 24.—A dispatch to the Times from Paris Says it has oven learned, on what the correspondent believes to be excellent authority, that France*is willing now to agree to a reduction in Germany’s debt to somewhere between 40,000,000,000 and 50.000,000,000 gold marks, pro vided in the settlement of the inter allied debt all of France’s* indebted ness is extinguished. Otherwise, it is asserted. France is disposed to ho’d out for her original figure of 132,000,- 000.000 gold marks. France believes, according to the correspondent, that the greatest hindrance to such a settlement arises from American sentiment, and seems to think that this plan may induce Groat Britain and the United States to consent to some arrangement.
