Izzy Einstein, Champ
Bootleg Sleuth, Tells
of Many Big Hauls
New York.—Being the champion
liquor sleuth of the world is so easy.
It is all a matter of ‘•tips” and dis
guises. Izzy Einstein, who bears this
championship title, explained it all
Tuesday.
Like Sherlock Holmes he expects
his dramatic adventures to continue
their serial unfolding indefinitely. For
he finds that the Arsene Lupins of the
booze world develop the fine art of de
livering the goods to a new phase as
rapidly as he and his partner, Moe
Smith, unravel the Scotch-old methods
of jootlegging.
‘•We have put the corner saloon,
which operated surreptitiously under
the guise of an eating plaoe, out of
business,” Einstein declared.
“But the booze business has moved
next door, into dry goods stores, even
shoe stores.”
Einstein describes the disguises the
pair of sleuths have used. Their most
successful disguises and the biggest
haul of the many that have resulted in
their seizure of a total of $1,000,000
worth of liquor, and in the arrest of
1,900 Volstead law violators, consti
tutes the latest entry in their record
book.
As fishermen, they raided 48 saloons,
made 48 arrests and confiscated $50,000
wortli of liquor in 24 hours.
Einstein is built like the fat Babu of
Kipling’s “Kim.” and the wonder of
t he uninitiated at his ability to dis
guise his five feet four inches of 225
pound- stature is as great as the mysti -
fication of Kim over the feafcaof his in
structor
EinsteiD and Smith havs played at
being street car conductors, Izzy de
clares, street cleaners, boilermen and
negroes. Once, he said, he became a
fruit dealer and drove into market is a
wagon containing a few oranges. He
was welcomed as a member o:< the fra
ternity of marketmen and given a
“nip,” and thereafter nipped a new
blind tiger.
“How do we gets our tips? That’s
easy,” he says,
“The best source is the disgruntled
purchaser of ‘bad stuff.’ Tamper with
a confirmed Volstead violator’s source
o f supply, and likely as not he yells.
“Next day we get a letter from the
aggrieved purchaser and a bootlegger
:s spotted and arrested.
“Then we just mingle with the crowd
and watch its behavior. Once I noticed
3r long line of people in a candy store.
It looked interestin g I got into line.

Everybody was asking for lemon soda.
I thought I’d have one.
“It was gio. I took the whole candy
store."
Izzv proudly proclaims that, no other
I liquor agent, in the country has a ree
ord to equal his, but still he is not sat
islied.
There are constantly new worlds to
conquer: there are several large hauls
he’d like to make.
“And some day I’ll make ’em. It’s
easy,” says the world’s champion
“hootchhound.”
