The act resurrected today has re-

1t provides that where a still is kept
in a dwelling house without license
from the Government not only can a
fine of from $500 to $1,000 and q
prison sentence of from six months TO
two years be imposed. but the Cow
ernment can also take possession o:
and become the owner of the dwelling
and the premises where the illeg A.
still Is kept.

tic than the voistead enforcement
act, in that it provides for forfeiture
to the Government of the property,
where the still was located, has al

asked Commissioner Hit to fix bail.
The Commissioner placed $4,000 as
the bail. O'Neil said his client was
prepared to give $1,000 bail. but Corr

heavy penalty for violation of the act
