Washington, Apr. 5.--Ohicials OF the
Internal revenue bureau OF the treas
ury department are Of the opinion that
the temperance movement, which has
taken such strong hold Of certain sec
tons of the country. particularly in
the south, has resulted in increasing
the number Of violations OF the inter.
nal revenue laws in the distillation oil
Illicit whisky.
The records up to the first of last
year did not show any very marked in.
crease in the number Of Illicit distit
leries destroyed or in the number OF
arrests made, but recent reports clear.
iy indicate that in many of the south
ern states, and especially in Alabama
Georgia and North Carolina, there has
been greater activity displayed on the
part Of the lawless mountain element
who always have been troublesome to
the revenue agents, than in many
years
-..--.--. Blamed on "Dryn Laws.
This is accounted for by. the fact
that the legislatures OF these three
states have enacted laws prohibiting
distilleries from operating within their
borders In Alabama. the law went
into effect on July 1. 1908; in Geor
gia on January /, 1908, and in North
Carolina on January 1, 1909. Very
many of the legitimate distilleries
have moved their plants to Florida
and other border states, where the
inhibition does not exist.
During the year 1908 there were
1913 illicit stills destroyed; in 1907
there were 1,l39 and in 1906 there
we're 1876, but the returns for the
nine months Of the present fiscal year
show decided increase in the mum
