The possibility of u federal probe of i the management of the friars' club, I tho MilA'aukie resort raided by Sheriff Wilson und nine deputies early Sun day morning, became known here Tuesday. Julius Wilbur, manager of tho resort, free under $1000 bail pend ing a grand jury investigation, may have violated federal statutes in tbe conduct of his place. Wilbur is caught between two fires as far as a federal liquor license is concerned. With statements from those caught in the raid, with 70 bot tles of assorted liquor held as evi dence, and with other information which to date has not been announced by District Attorney Hedges, but Is said to be important, local authorities are confident they can prove Wilbur sold liquor at his resort If he produces a federal license to escape federal prosecution Tor selling liquor without a license, the license can be used as evidence against him in the state case. If he cannot pro duce the license, federal prosecution is considered almost certain by local authorities. Sheriff Wilson uud his deputies wore unable to find the license during the raid last Sunday, und are inclined to believe thnt he had none, thereby laying the resort keeper open to feder al prosecution. The federal statutes provide a fine of from $100 to $1000 and a Jail sen tence of from four months to two years in case of conviction on a charge of selling liquor without a license. Dottles declared by the district at torney's office to contain 98 per cent whiskey and about 2 per cent ginger ale, labeled ginger ale, which were found In the friars' club, may also lead to a federal charge of misbrand ing under the federal pure food and drugs act. federal authorities In rort land will also look up the law relative to the importation and handling of absinthe, several bottles of w hich were found In the raid.
