Anti-SaIoon Counsel Charges
Dry Agents Regard Enforce
ment as Political Football

United States judges and district
attorneys. corrupted Federal agents
and the political campaign are
charged by Wayne B. Wheeler. gem
eral counsel for the Anti-Ssloon
League, with responsibility for un-
satisfactory enforcement OF the pro-
hlbition law In several States.
In a statement Issued Mr., Wheeler
alleges that district judges have
aided the bootieggsrs by giving
small nnes and showing antaEonism
TO the laws; that district attorneys
have precluded enforcement by de-
manding too much evidence. and that
State and Federal officers alike are
making The prohibition law a poiiti-
cal football"
While pointing out the lsHity OF the
laws enforcement, the Anti-Saloon
League Official says that all will come
out right In the end and that pres
ent conditions need not alarm friends
OF prohibition.
The law enforcement situation" "
Mr.. Wheeler said, "is complicated
The reasons for II are apparent Nine
States have no State enforcement
codes. In addition. In Ohio. Caiifor-
MIA. Wisconsin and Missouri the
legislatures enacted enforcement
codes but they have not gone into
effect because OF a referendum vote
forced by the vets for this fall. The
Federal forces In these thirteen
States are Inadequate to enforce the
law.
Some OF the Federal agents are not
doing their best, but most OF them
are. A limited number have been
corrupted by the liquor dealers, who
take long chances in selling liquor.
"A few United states district judges
have encouraged the bootlesgers by
giving small fines and displaying an
antagonism to the Law In the conduct
of the case. Several district attor-
neys have required evidence Of
character before they will act that
precludes effective enforcement. We
must remember also that We are in
the midst of a political campaign.
at Is always harder to enforce liq-
uor laws at such times. The reason
is apparent.
prohibition enforcement WAS nrst
handicapped by the attacks on the
law in the courts. This gav- timid
officers an excuse to wait until the
court rendered its opinion"

RESULTS SURE IN
COAL PIRATE WAR
Will Soon Be Revealed in Slump
of Retail Prices, Officials
Declare.

Positive results" in the war on
coal profiteers are soon to be re-
vealed in a slump in retail prices of
bituminous coal, officials of the De-
partment of Justice announced today.
Officials are making steady head
way. they said. in vigorous investiga-
tions to check the activity Of jobbers
and other dealers engaged in the
practice Of re-selling coal shipments
at a big prof1t. In scores of eastern
and middle western cities which
figure as the chief distributing points
for coal, prosecutions for violations of
the Lever act have been arranged.
The cases being prepared for trial. it
was said, show that re-sales OF the
same shipments of coal have been
primarily responsible for exorbitant
prices paid by consumers.
One of the earliest results of the
new Investigation by the Department
has been to cause profiteers to dis
continue their operations. Fearing
prosecutions. many spectators have
disappeared from the market. This
is reflected in the steady decreases
noted at several Atlantic coast ports.
1t has been particularly noticeable on
coal reaching tidewater from West
Virginia and Kentucky.
Officials would make no predictions
of the extent OF the probable de-
crease in coal costs to the consumer.

Mr.. Muffet, the secretary of the

way to evoke the most lasting
gratitude. Mr.. Mufet was
assisted by Mr.. James White, an
American newspaper man in

The Administration will be di-

as the first step in Palestinian
self-government. A Commission
dealing specifically with religious

man appointed by the League of

and purchase of land will be

speculation will be prevented by
all possible means. For this pur-,

Governmental control over inmi-

During the weekend, the High
Commissioner visited various cen
tiers where he was greeted by
the heads of the communities be-
fore whom he repeated the Kings

Storrs read a letter from Lord
Allenby in which the Commander
Of the British Forces in the East,
expresses his regret at his in

that he feels confident that Pal

America" There was therefore
nothing left to do but to ask and
demand that I at least be let free
on bail until my trial. This, Mr..
Gibson set out to accomplish two
weeks after my arrest, and kept
up these pleas, demands, protests
and threats for full seven weeks.
On April 18th, bail of 100000
marks was finally accepted for
me, and I was released from the
Citadel. But even then my free
dom was only partial. I was not
permitted to leave Warsaw; my
cables from home were all inter
cepted by the gendarmerie, and I
was in all ways treated like one
Of the many hundreds of native
criminals" of old Russia and
modern Poland. It took. another
seven weeks of protests, pleas,
demands and threats, this time
on the part of Mr.. Muffet, secre-
tary of the Legation, (Mr. Glib
son having left Warsaw in the
meanwhi1e) before I was really
freed, and permitted to leave the
country until October when my
trial will come UP. The maxi
mum punishment for my crime is
three years prison.
While in prison I was treat
ed like the rest of the political
prisoners, the only discrimina-
ton against me being, made that
I was not permitted, any visits
from my friends. With the ex-
ception of a few official visits
from our Consul I was practical
ly cut off from the world during
the ten weeks. On the other
hand I had permission to have
food brought to me daily from
the outside, and when I became
sick, an American military doc
tor from our Legation was per-
m1tted to examine me. For the
rest I was under the same dis
cipline as the others. The first
week I was kept in solitary con-
finement but given the use of
writing material. Later I was
transferred to a cell with three
others and that privilege was
taken away. In March I became
sick, and spent the last weeks of
my Imprisonment in the prison
hospital. During my stay in the
fortress I witnessed six military
executions, one attempt at sui
eide, and one case Of woman
losing her reason. Compared to
