wishes TO call the attention OF
the managers of the teams that
expect to place teams on the field,
that list Of at least twelve
names must be filed with him not
later than midnight tonight

by Secretary Sutton, since the

some of the managers are filing

them in an embarrassing position
as those who have already filed
their applications will be given
preference over the tardy ones,

Wheeler Asserts Judges
Encourage Bootleggers
Anti-Saloon League Counsel
Complains That Prohibition Is
Made Campaign Football

FROM Ihc itfbunc's Washington Bureau
WASHINGTON. Aug. 29.--The direc
charge that few United States dis
tiict judges "have encouraged bootleg
gers" was made to-day by Wayne b
Wheeler, head of the legal department
Of the AntiSaloon League of America
Wheeler asserted that the law en-
forcement situation is complicated and
unsatisfactory in several states.
"The reasons for it are apparent"
Mr.. Wheeler said. "Ninc states have
no state enforcement codes. In addi-
ton, in Ohio, California, Wisconsin and
Missouri the legislatures enacted en-
forcement codes and they have not
gone into effect because of, refer
endum vote forced by the vets for this
fall. The Federal force in these thir-
teen states is 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 bootleggers by
giving them small fines and displaying
a' o"eas oHisH 10 tne law IN the con-
duct of the case. Several district at
torneys have required evidence of a
character before they will act that pre-
cludes effective enforcement. We must
remember also that we are in the midst
of political campaign. 1t is always
harder to enforce liquor laws at such
times. The reason is apparent
"Prohibition enforcement was first
by the attacks on the law
in the courts. This gave timid officers
an excuse to wait until the court rem
dered its opinion. Now we are in a
political campaign and many local,
state and Federal officers are making
the issue political football 1t is the
same experience we had in many pro-
hibition states. There is nothing in it
to alarm the friends of prohibition. 1t
will come out all right in the end"
