THE MAN IN THE GREEN HAT”
With all its zeal for investigation, it appears that
the United States Senate has been satisfied to drop a
proposed inquiry into the activities of George L. Cas
sidy, self-confessed official bootlegger to members of
Congress, known as “the man in the green hot.”
When arrested last year for selling liquor to the
solons on capitol hill, Cassiday made some startling
revelations. He admitted that he had been plying his
trade among members of Congress for 10 years, and
estimated that “four out of five Senators and Con
gressmen consume liquors either at offices or homes.”
He said he had made an average of 20 to 25 deliv-i
eries of whiskey to these distinquished customers daily,;
one day reaching a record of 47 sales. He added that
“I have sat in the gallery and heord one of my custo
mers deliver a rattling good prohibition speech.”
When arrested, Cassidy’s “little black book” con
taining o list of his Congressional customers was seiz
ed. One Senator threatened to ask for an investigation
to expose the names on this list, but he apparently
found it convenient to forget it. Another famous in
vestigating Senator made a similar threat, but nothing
further happened.
Whether Cassidy’s statements are true or not has
never been established, but the fact that the investigat
ors have failed to press matters would justify the be
lief that they knew a stick of political dynamite when
they saw it.
THE TERRITORIAL GLOOM CASTER
What a “wet blanket” the Alaska governor has
turned out to be!
Here The Gateway has been working for months
to keep up the spirits and morale of this glorious Ter
itory, then along comes his “royal highness” and sobs
out a tale of business depression which is alleged to be
staring us in the face, next winter and spring.
And, as usual, offers no constructive suggestion
except a warning to communities to ‘watch their step.’
What can you do with a “guy” like that?
Bah! Also a great big ‘raspberry!
Rabbit fur is known by 75 trade names, neither of
which is “rabbit.”
Having settled the prohibition question, both ways,
the Wickersham commission might be allowed to tackle
Alaska.
We understand there is an Alaskan aviator who,
prior to coming North, made 106 parachute jumps and
never once failed to reach the ground safely.
The season is now over for “lame ducks” who have
waited hopefully under the federal plum tree. But they
still have hopes in Alaska where the legislature is still
in session. Hi* ,

CUSTOMS UNION'
NEW CUSTOMS ARRANGEMENT
WILL NOT VIOLATE LET
TER OF TREATY
BERLIN, Mar. 26. (A*) — A
customs union in fact and name
has been agreed upon by Ger
many and Austria. ':. .:
The official announcement con
taining this information- was re
leased simultaneously in Berlin
and Vienna after proper notifica
tio was forwarded to Paris, Eon
don and Rome.Information al
ready passed along to these three
capitals is that the two Germaine
governments intend to create a
unified customs and trade prac
tices agreement and includes an
invitation for others to join, in
timating that the move is de
signed to be the first step to
ward a pan-European customs
union such as is envisaged by
Aristide Briand, foreign minister
for France.
It is estimated that at least
three months will be necessary
to perfect the details, after which
both parliaments must ratify it.
While the agreement will destroy
all trade barriers between the two
countries, each nation will re
tain full independence and free
dom to make other trade agree
ments not inimicable to the other
partner.
The treaty is to lat only three
years. Otherwise a straight cus
toms union is foreseen. News of
the agreement was received with
misgivings in Paris, despite the
report that Germany has given
assurances that the arrangement
will not infringe upon the letter
or spirit of the Versailles Treaty.
