the Ansonia hotel. In concluding this
letter he said:

decide upon a policy in regard to hotel
investments.

600 in the Commodore hotels of New

$4,000 in the McAlpln. The letters to
other officials of Swift & Co. suggested
that it should be a good policy to take

Grand Jury Is Called to Con-

CLEVELAND, Ohio, Oct 2S.-Every
Ohio saloon man who has bought or
sold liquor since Statewide prohibition
became effective May 26 is guilty OF
violating the Federal internal revenue
act and faces indictment by the Federal
Grand Jury.
This declaration was made to-day by
Federal Judge ID. c. Westenhaver of
the Northern District of Ohio in charg-
ing the jury to-day.
Judge Westenhaver said It is the first
time In his recollection that q Federal
Grand Jury has been called upon to
deliberate on whether the sale of liquor
is a violation of the law.
Taking OF testimony will begin to-
morrow. Evidence collected by Gov
eminent agents who have arrested 100
alleged moonshlners during the last two
months will be presented.

Mr.. Johnston. who spoke to the House

by this country was annually 50,000,000
gallons.

the veto of the President and in the
face of the reasons he assigned for his
action constitutes most remarkable
chapter in the history OF the prohibition
agitation In tho United States. which al

events. 1t is a sad commentary on and

Commissioner Roper Issues an
Appeal and Outlines
Plans of Action.
WARNS LOCAL OFFICIALS
Violations of Law Will Bring

eminent, He Declares.

WAsHINGToN, Oct 2s.--Law abiding
citizens, churches. civic organizations
and welfare societies were summoned
tonight by Commissioner Roper to aid
the bureau of internal revenue In en-
forcing the prohibition enforcement law.
Any fouting of the law. Mr.. Roper de-
clared would bring into disrepute the
American FORM of government.
While the bureau is made the agency
directing the enforcement OF the meas
ure, with the Department of Justice
conducting prosecutions on evidence OBJ
tanned by the bureaus men. response
bility is not confined to Federal officers,
the Commissioner said. State, county
and municipal officials are expected to
do full share in stopping and punish
ing violations, and the successful adj
ministration of the law, Mr.. Roper said,
will be measured largely by the manner
in which thesA officials meet their re-
quirements
Local officers being expected to take
the initiative in enforcing the law in
their territory. any failure or dereliction
to assume their full responsibility will be
brought to the attention Of the law abid-
ing citizens OF the community by off,
Gals of the bureau.
To Organize Special stan.
Mr.. Roper's plans contemplate the or
ganization Of a prohibition enforcement
staff which will be devoted entirely to
that work and completely ASSOCIATED
from the tax collection activities of the
bureau. There will be a deputy COM
missioner in Washington in charge of
the prohibition section, and deputy COL
lectors in each district with an efficient
force of men under them. Pending the
organization OF this force employees
qualified for the work who can be spared
from the tax work of the bureau have
been directed to cooperate to the fullest
extent with the public and with local
officers.
To prevent delay. collectors and agents
have been instructed to confer with
United States District Attorneys with
regard to coonera ton in obtaining and
presenting evidence.
'"The National Prohibition act is now
the law of the land" said Commissioner
Roper ut makes the Bureau of Inter
nal Revenue the directing agency in the
enforcement of both wartime prohibition
and prohibition under the constitutional
amendment. We have accordingly put
into operation the necessary organiza-
ton to cooperate with the public in the
rigid enforcement of the prohibition law.

to every lawabding citizen to give me

,Underwood's Statement.


When the matter was first brought up
Senator Underwood said:
81 voted against the constitutional
prohibition amendment because l be-
lieved it was a question for the States
TO determine and not the national Gov
eminent. Although / did not believe
II wise to have nationwide prohibition,
the people agreed to 1t, and 1 am in
favor of enforcing it. The reason tho
President vetoed this bill was because
those who favored nationwide prohibition
broke faith. They proclaimed that they
were not in favor of the drastic destruc-
ton Of private property.
'Tater II was proposed to write ma
tionwide prohibition on the statute books
without waiting for the constitutional
amendment to take effect. The cry was
raised that the safety of young men in
the army was menaced. The country
sustained its contention. Congress
yielded and enacted the desired legisla
ton"
'T have always wondered" said Sena-
tor Borah (Ifaho), whether this war
time prohibition act was constitutional.
Congress listened to the appeal OF the
extremists and provided for prohibition
during the time between wartime pSo-
hibition and the effectiveness of the con-
stitutional amendment"
1.-THE bill" said Senator Sterling.
would only operate until denobiliza-
tion OF the army Is proclaimed by the
President The purpose of this act Is
only to enforce the law until such
proclamation is issued"
'-The Attorney-Ge said Senator
Underwood. ''is going ahead enforcing
wartime prohibition without reference to
this bill. He is going ahead just the
same as II there would be no demobili-
cation. The good faith Of this transact
ton should be carried out. These people
should have an opportunity to wind up
their business and save their property.
The President Is right in saying that
constitutional prohibition enforcement
should not contain clause for war time
prohibition.
II know the Senate is not going to
defy the organized prohibition sentiment
of the country. The rank and file, be-
heve. would not object to carrying out
constitutional prohibition as agreed
upon. But the organized prohibitlonists
would not accept that conclusion.
Every man In this Senate knows that
the Presidents veto will be override n
Every man knows that IL this Is not
done the House and Senate would
promptly pass a bill to enforce consti-
tuional prohibition"
