Prohibition Commissioner J. Sud
ney Peters and one OF his assistants
were the other witnesses who appear
Cd in the jury room. The Common
wealth's Attorney had a long list Of
witnesses. but 1t was thought that, I'M
der the circumstances. they were not
necessary. 1t being felt by the grand
Jury that under the existing law the
druggist could sell the liquor and the
doctors could prescribe it. 1t was
believed by them that the law should
be amended in some particulars, so
that 1t would be more difficult to Sc
cure liquor. and still more difficult
to dispose OF 1t. This belief was en-
bodied In a recommendation which
the jury handed the court which is
as follows:
The grand Jury finds that
there has been much laxity In
the selling of whiskey. but feel
that the trouble lies In the law,

1t was suggested by the prohibition
commissioner that steps be taken for
a more stringent fight against the
bringing Of liquor into the city or the
state. and that by keeping 1t out,
there would. naturally be less oppor-
tunfty for the violation OF the law.
A cansas was issued yesterday ev-
ering for the arrest of DR.. Hartley,
and 1t is probable he will be called
