. Penitentiary sentences for
bootleggers will be the penalty in
Washington next year If the
1917 Legislature listens to the
pleadings of Police Chief Harry
M. Smith of Tacoma.
"The only way to prevent
illegal sale of liquor is by send
ing the booze dealers to the peni-
tentiary," declared Chief Smith
Friday.
"They can afford to pay fines
once in awhile, but If they face
the penitentiary- every time they
sell an Illicit drink or a bottle of
liquor, they will very quickly see
the danger of their ways"
The Tacoma police chief has
already obtained the cooperation
of other chiefs of police of promi-
nent Washington cities, and the
combined police heads will do a
little lobbying at Olympia in jan
uary.
The chief is already canvassing
the newly elected LEGISLATORS, ask
ing their support of such a bill.
