Colonel Garrard Starts Authors

teen Are Held

Washington, January AT the res
quest OF Colonel Joseph Garrard, COM.
handing the garrison at Fort Myers-
Sheriff A. II. Barber and Deputy Sheriff
II. T. Palmer. OF Alexandria County,
raided the Troop d Club. Just outside
OF Fort Myer. and arrested seventeen
men on the charge Of conducting q
speakeasy. The men were all enlisted
men from the fort
Colonel Garrard had asked the Alex
andsia County officials to get evidences
against the place. as he believed II
was not run strictly as a club. Hs
understood that soldiers contributed
certain amount weekly, but that the
proprietors sold to anybody who wish
ed TO buy. 4 supply of liquor had
Just been sent into the club when the
officers arrived, late yesterday. and
they seized seventeen barrels OF beer
and .our quarts of whiskey.
When the raid was made. Sheriff
Barber arrested eight men and placed
them in the Alexandria County Jail.
He came back for the evidence and
found that the soldiers had broken
open the door OF the place and were
doing a big business again Nine more
were then arrested and taken TO jail
The building in which the club was
conducted is said to be owned By
Michael Doherty. who was convicted OF
running a blind tiger recently, and IS

MORE VIOLATIONS
OF PURE FOOD LAW
Solicitor Shows Increase of rs
Per Cent in Disregard of
Regulations.

Washinsto. January b.--An increas-
ing tendency 20 violations OF the pure
food law is indicated By the annual
report of the solicitor OF the Depart
ment OF Agriculture issued to-day.
The solicitor. George p. McCabe. notes
that 1.459 violations were reported TO
the department during the year. an
increase of 25 per cent over the pre-
, vious year. and of Al per cent more
than the fiscal year 1910. Out OF TAI
cases prosecuted. ssl resulted IN con-
victions At the end OF the year 407
cases were pending.
The courts displayed disposition to
more severity in Furnishing violations
OF the law. The first tail sentence
was imposed. under the pure food act,
and the maximum fine was imposed in
twelve cases. The maximum, however.
is only $500. and the record OF In
creasIng frequent violations seems to
suggest the need OF heavier penalties.
This impression Is strengthened by
the solicitors statement that fines
were imposed n the criminal cases
amounting to more than $4,000 This
small amount of fines imposed. in so
great e number OF cases. under a law
that is popularity supposed TO be of
great public interest and Importance.
has impressed some OF the friends o.
the law with the need for more severe
penalties
This view OF tho food laws penal
ties has been urged from the time OF
its enactment. There has been con-
slant criticism on the ground that
even the most effective administration
of the law could not be expected TO
produce a respectful attitude on the
part o. persons tempted to violate 1t.
If the penalties for conviction were so
small as to leave fair chance OF
profit through violation
The great Importance OF the legal
work OF this Office is suggested by the
statement that II IS intrusted with
detecting violations OF the acts for
protection of the national forests. the
food and drug law. the meat inspec-
ton law. twenty eight hour law, ami
mai quarantine law. and the Lacey
law. to prevent interstate shipment o,
game slaughtered in violation Of State
Laws
