Moonshine Raid Uncovers Stepney Forest Distillery
Prohibition agents with Monroe officials raided a Stepney woods distillery uncovering two stills and hundreds of gallons of mash. George Cook and John Kopeke were linked to the operation. Kopeke fled while Cook remained missing, with warrants planned. The raid interrupted a planned large payoff as officers seized provisions and ingredients used in alcohol production. Washington reports also describe Senate debates over a Four-Power Pacific treaty and related reservations, with leaders predicting narrow ratification and a heated, partisan exchange.
