PLANNING To ENFORCE
NATIONAL PROHIBITION
Department of Justice Has
500 Agents Ready to
Do This Work.

Washington, Jan. 22.-Means of en-
forcing prohibition after July 1 are
under consideration by officials of
the departm ent of justice and the in
ternal revenue bureau, but steps to
create a special enforcement agency
will not be taken until congress has
had time to act on pending legislation
giving this function to the revenue
bureau.
This bureau now has about 500
agents who could be assigned to liquor
violation detection, including 800 now
engaged partly in running down Illicit
liquor distilers. Officials believe, how
ever, that this force would have to
be enlarged by several times. The de-
partment of justice also stands ready
to assign many of its secret agents to
prohibition enforcement.
The bulk of the enforcement work,
however, would fall on state and
local police authorities. Government
agents would operate only in those
districts where the local officers SEEM
ed unable or unwilling to enforce the
law.
Revenue agents say there already
are indications of preparations for
approach of the dry era among those
who propose to manufa cture liquor il
legally after July I. Not only in the
southern mountains, the principal
operating regions of mOonShinerS, but
in large cities of the east and middle
west, small stills have been found re-
Gently. Owners of some Of these are
said to have admitted their intention
of putting them in operation after
prohibition becomes effective.
The advent of prohibition, officials
say will not repeal revenue laws ap-
plying taxes on spirits nor nullify ex-
listing provisions for fines and i'm
prisonment as penalties for illicitly
manufacturing liquor.

NO EARLY VOTE ON
PROHIBITION BILL
Connecticut General Assembly Not
Expected to Take Up Matter for
Several Weeks.

Hartford, Jan. PA vote in the
Connecticut General Assembly on the
federal prohibition amendment is not
expected for several weeks, according
to legislative leaders today The gov
ernor may send it in shortly. Speaker
Walsh holds the opinion that the most
expeditions way in which to receive it
would be to make the amendment an
order Of the day on a specified day.
This will give opportunity for general
debate without a long drawn out dis
cusslon before a committee from
which majority and minority reports
would be likely to issue and on which
an order of the day would be re-
Quired. Should the amendment be
sent first to the senate the plan sug-
gested by Speaker Walsh might not
be followed, although senators today
seemed anxious to adopt the quickest
method of disposing Of the matter be-
fore general legislation is taken up.
A vote on the amendment may not be
possible before the middle of Febru-
ary.
H. H. Spooner and e. L. G. Hohen-
thai both interested in prohibition
legislation today said they believed
every member had his mind made up
as to his action on the amendment.

ment would have been recommended
for furloughs if they had had oppor-
tunity of being examined by it before

aroused from the midnight sleep by
shots fired by Patrolmen to stop the
alleged burglars.
This morning the two youths were
bound over to the superior court un-

started in the eastern section of the

Washington, Jan. 22.-When the

fantry) gets home-some time in
March, it is expected--it will parade
in Boston.
This is revealed in War Depart
ment announcement that the home
ward flow Of American fighting units
which had the opportunity to dis

ment that the units of each division
will be sent home close together so

RAILROAD EXECUTIVE
APPROVES OF REFORMS
Chairman of Southern Paci-
fic FavOrs Continuation
of Certain Changes.

Washington, Jan. 22.-Use of water
routes to relieve crowded railroad
lines, consolidation of ticket offices,
unificatiOn of terminals and pooling
of repair shops were among the war
reforms instituted by the railroad ad-
ministration endorsed as worthy Of
continuation after the railroads are
turned back to private ownership by
Julius Kruttchnitt, chairman of the
Southern Pacific road, testifying to-
day before a congressional committee
which is holding hearings on the sub
ject of the ultimate disposal of the
railroads.
He appeared in support of the rail-
road legislation proposed by the asso-
citation of railroad executives and was
the first of several prominent railroad
officials whom the committee plans to
hear.
In his opinion Standardization of
passenger equipment is not necessary,
as it seldom leaves the rails of the
owner.
The short routing of traffic, he said,
had not resulted in as large benefits
as had been claimed.
"The benefit of this practice, which
depr1VeS the shipper of choice routes
and competitive. facilities and service
is very much exaggerated" he said
The director general says that during
a year of federal control, 16, 863, 633
car miles have been saved in the east
ern and northwestern regions alone,
which is only two-tenths Of one per
cent. of the total freight car miles run
in these regions. In recommending
the elimination of circuitous routes,
the interests and convenience of the
public served by them do not seem to
have been considered"
