Dry Enforcement Is
Left to u. S. Officials

SYRACUSE, N. Y, June 2s-Cor-
poration counsels of eight cities, in
session here to-day, reached decision
to make no effort to enforce wartime
prohibition unless the Federal Govern
ment issues definite instructions cover
ing the method by which it is to be
done. The legal advisers to the
mayors held in general that the police
have no power to close any bar I'M
hess directed specifically by federal
authorities.
The meeting was called by Mayor
Stone, as president of the state con-
ference of Mayors. 1t was attended
by W. P. Capes, secretary of the con-
ference, and the legal advisers of Buff
falo, Troy, Geneva, Rome, Beacon,
Dunkirk and Utica After the meeting
the following statement was given out
Tho wartime prohibition law is a
Federal law. The proper interpreter
ton to be placed upon it cannot be
thoritative decision by the United
States courts, or in the absence Of
such decision q ruling by the United
states Attorney General.
Like all Federal laws, the wartime
prohibition law can be enforced only
by the Federal authorities. 1t Is clear
that the cities cannot take the initia-
tive in enforcement Of the law.
United States authorities are the
proper officers to whom all complaints
and reports Of violations should be
made. If the Federal authorities call
upon the local governments for assist
ance in enforcement of tho law we
recommend that such assistance be
given"

Last ''Wet'' Saturday
Quietly Celebrated
By BrOadwuv Thrones

=, Broadway celebrated the last wet
Saturday night with q crowd that was
uncqualled by anything more recent
than armistice night, but with an
entire absence Of disorder. The Sat-
urday night police detail had been in
creased, but the patrolmen had moth
ing more serious to do than straighten
the courses Of those who insisted on
lacking while crossing the street.
lt'seemed like any other night until
the theatres poured their crowds into
the brilliant thoroughfare, when the
streets were packed by dense slow
moving throng. Cabarets, roof gar
dens, cafes and restaurants overlooked.
Foreign uniforms were plentiful and
there were numbers of men in the
American olive drab or blue. In every
bar. and restaurant prohibition was the
topic OF discussion Shortly before
midnight someone announced that the
President had lifted the ban on light
wines and beer. This was a signal
for rejoicing, and everybody bought
again.

seated more than 1000, tho crowd wait
