investigations. One is being made by the District Attorney, in
New York City, into charges that Anderson forced fund so
licitors to "split” their commissions with him. The other is an
Albany investigation into charges that the Anti-Saloon League Js
a political body and should, therefore, be compelled to make pub
lic accounting of* its receipts and expenditures, about which there
has been so much secrecy^ The Rockefellers, who formerly prac
tronlly supported the League, have withdrawn financial support
from it and have demanded that Anderson make complete ac
counting. Prank E. Cartwright, of Corning, New York, 'brought
about the second investigation, through his attorney, Colonel
Ransom Gillette, wfirld War hero^ charging that he was beaten
for Assembly by the Influence of the League. Ex-State Senator
