9 of Alcohol Ring"
May Be Tried Here
on Death Charges
Officials Still Undecided, but Believe
Exraditon to New England
Would Cause Delay.

The conference between officials OF the
United States and this State. Massachu-
setts and Connecticut. which began on Fri
day. to determine where to try the nine
men held here in the wood alcohol death
cases, was continued yesterday in the
offices of United States District Attorney
Leroy w. Ross in Brooklyn. No decision
held this morning in the office of Joseph
f. Mulqueen, Jr., Assistant District Attor-
ney. in the Federal Building.
1t was said after yesterdays session
that the consensus of opinion seemed to
favor the prosecution of the men in
Brooklyn or Manhattan. where the crime
had it's inception, in order to avoid tn
long delay which might result from a,
effort to extradite the men to Connecticut
or Massachusetts. The New England Of
ficials are said to have practically agreed
upon such course of action.
Three OF the men under arrest-Samue
K. Saleeby, druggist; John Romanelli, un
dertaker, both held in Brooklyn, and Car
mine Licenziato, grocer, of No. Ill Mott
street, held in Manhattan-have been in
dicted on charge of manslaugher in
Massachusetts Romanelll and Saleeby,
with Edward Ware and William Woller.
Jr., will be arraigned before Judge Chat
field in the Federal Court Brooklyn, on
the charge of violating the Volstead act.
1t is expected that by that time the Of
ficials will have decided on a method of
procedure against the prisoners for caus-
ing scores of deaths in the Connecticut
Valley cities.
According to an opinion Of an assistant
to Francis c.. Gaffey, United States Dis
trict Attorney, any one who suffers after
January 16 as a result Of the sale of al
cohol may claim damages, and in the case
of death the next Of kin shall be entitled
to damages. Section 20 of the new law
covers such a suit, it was stated.

SHERIFF KNOTT
SEES CRIMES GROW
UNDER DRY LAW
Warns "Billion Dollar Jury"
That Serious Disturbances
Will Follow Enforcement.

Wartime prohibition was blamed for
being the direct cause of increased crime
in this city and Chicago by Sheriff David
H. Knott last night in an address at the
annual dinner of the second panel of the
Sheriff's Jury in the Biltmore Hotel.
Much of the unrest that exists in the coun-
try at large was likewise attributed by
the Sheriff to the same cause and he pre-
Gicted that the enforcement of prohibition
will precipitate further disturbances
Sheriff Knott declared satisfies here and
in Chicago clearly established the fact
that there had been great increase IN
crime since prohibition went into effect.
The increase in the Middle West city was
twenty-five per cent, he said. Bellevue
Hospital is receiving a greater number of
drug addicts and physicians have given
their opinion that this condition is solely
due to the curtailment of beverages, Mr.
Knott declared.
Observations made by the Sheriff and his
staff in the Tombs and at Sing Sing
strengthened his belief. he said, that more
criminals have developed since July last
than in any like period. The former War
den at Sing Snig reported according to Mr..
Knott hat prohibition had not lessened
the number of criminals received into the
institution
Sheriff Knotts denunciation was heard
by many OF the most prominent capitalists,
bankers and financiers in the city. The
second panel is known as the billion
dollar jury and among those at the din
ner last night were-
harles Thorley, foreman Il. s. Chappelle,
treasurer: Henry Birrell. secretary; Ed
ward ]. Berwind. coal operator; Paul j.
Bonwt, John Nee. Bowman. Newman
Erb, O. III. Hartman, Franklin Simon.
r. A. c. Smith, Payne Whitney. Harry
Payne Whitney and George L. Wilson.
Prohibition is being forced upon the
people, not temperance" said the Sheriff
This forced write and morality is caus-
ing feeling of resentment that is under
mining the tranquility of all classes OF
our people. The harm resulting from this
unwelcome and unsought legislation un-
dermines that tranquility and sense Of
personal responsibility of all the people.
why, Kramer the commissioner of pro-
hibition, appeals to sectarianism in ask
ing the members of churches to snoop
and sneak and smell around for violators
of an amendment to the Constitution OF
the United States. if you please. These
radical reforhers are now working day
and night in their effort to Danish tobacco
and other little comforts that you and |,
and our ancestors, have enjoyed and I'M
der which nations have grown great"
Sheriff Knott declared it was the re-
former and his cry of ''if you are not with
us you are against u.s." that leads to
radiealsm. Though conditions seem al
most unbearable, the Sheriff said the peo-
pie should not be unduly alarmed as
forced reforms would not long prevail. He
urged the jurors, because of their wealth
and influence, to assist in solving prob
lens affecting the populace of the city.

Engineer Reveals
Refusal to Advise

neer Thomas Maddox today issued
statement explaining his stand in

for the Apache trail. to aid in the
repair Of which the Maricopa county
board Of supervisors had proposed to
ask a bond issue OF S250.OO0 and the
Water Users association had agreed
TO contribute $500
In his statement, engineer Maddox
took the stand that Maricopa county
was entitled to no more than its
share Of federal aid funds. He re-
iterated the policy Of the state high
way department that federal aid
funds should be applied to through
routes first. adding:
The amount requested, $500 600, is
in excess OF federal aid funds still
available for Maricopa county, $780,
600 OF the $4,000 allotted for Mari

piled for
