WASHINGTON, July 24. (#)—Act

suspended Col. Green pending inves
tigating of the charges.
SEATTLE, July 24. (i?)—’The Exa
miner said Colonel Ned M, Green, ac
cused federal prohibition commis
sioner, admitted the truth of charges
of misconduct and irregularities in
his office. Green told the Associated
Press the Examiner story was cor
rect. The United States Marshal's
office has served more than 20 sub
poenas for the appearance of witnes
ses before the grand jury to investi
gate the charges. Green admitted he
ihad in his room seized government li
quor, that he drank it and that he
served the liquor to guests and had
parties in the room which was attend
ed by women as well as men.
It is reported Green showed :wo
dresser drawers in his room filed
with bottles of assorted liquors.
“There’s my answer to the charges,”
Green said, “there’s the liquor they
said I keep in my room. I drink it
'and served it on parties here to which
men and women attended. These
! charges are true and any time the in
vestigators or members of the United
States grand jury want to come here
and see it they are welcome. They
can taste it too if they want. I got
the liquor two ways. One was at my
office; twice a week I would reach
my desk and in the mornings find
| a package of liquor there, I prestmae
^employes of the prohibition office
I left it there. It showed a fine per
sonal spirit on the par: of my men
and it showed they liked me. The
other way I got liquor was. well, you
see that flower vase on the table?
Well I occasionally come home to
find it filled with brandy.”
When asked if he expected the jury
to indict him. Green said ‘Tan no
lily. My chief legal adviser wanted
me to deny everything and I told him
I didn’t want to be known as a lily
or a prude. I don’t wan: the world
to think I am that kind of a man; I
don’t want any of my employes im
plicated in this as I am responsible
for what goes on here.”
