Description
Dry Chieftains On Flying Trip.; Dry Chieftains On Flying Trip. Making a flying trip to survey the district attorney offices of the country and facilitate the completion of prohibition cases, G. A. Youngquist, assistant United States attorney general, and Charles P. Sisson, also an assistant attorney general from Washington, D. C, arrived in Spokane by airplane late yesterday. Today, both held conferences with District Attorney Roy Fox, going over local matters and looking over the territory. Mr. Youngquist is in charge of prohibition and tax work and Mr. Sisson is the assistant attorney general in charge of administration and personnel. "We have but a short time to spend in Spokane," Mr. Youngquist said, "and as our planned itinerary makes it possible for us to go over detailed matters only briefly with attorneys in various parts of the country, the work at hand will be principally a survey of conditions. "The purpose of the trip is to knit together a little closer the work of the department and by personal contact this is hoped to be accomplished. We are flying to Seattle this afternoon."
