DUTY OF POLICE TO ENFORCE DRY LAWS So Declares U. s. District AttOr-
 ney to Hartford Mayor
 to Hartford Mayor IN REPLY TO CRITICISM
Government Official Points Out That Local Authorities Should Cooperate in Every Way in Closing Up Sale of Intoxicating Liquors.

Hartford, Aug. 1o.-United States District Attorney Smith, in reply to the criticisms directed by Mayor New ton c. Brainerd of Hartford against the federal authorities for alleged in activity in the enforcement of the na- tional prohibition amendment today forwarded to the mayor a letter .n which he pointed out that the police of. Hartford and other cities of the state not only had the power to en- force the federal law, but it was also their duty. The mayors criticism of the federal authorities came about through statements in the press in which he alleged that intoxicating liquors were sold in Hartford and that little effort had been made to curb their sale and furthermore the police of the city were powerlss to act in the enforcement Of the national prohlOi- tion amendment.
 Attorneys Statement.
 In commenting on the position he had taken in the belief that the na- tional prohibition amendment had given the police of the country power to aid in its enforcement, District At torney Smith this afternoon authoriz- ed the following statement:
 "On July 1, 1919, when the original prohibition act went into effect, this offie wrote to the chiefs of police of the various cities of Connecticut re- questing their cooperation in the en- forcement of the act and detailing the authority of the police in the pre- mises At the time Judge Chatfield made a ruling in the New York case of the United Stats against Schmauder, notice was sent to the chiefs of the decision and further requests made for continued cooperation.
 Enforcement of Act.
 .'Section 1914 of the revised stat utes of the United States is specifical- ly made applicable in the enforcement of the act. Under that section. even the mayor of d city may, if it is agree able to the usual mode of process against offenders in the state, cause the arrest and Imprisonment, or bail the offender for trial in the United States court. Under their oath of of flee the police assume the duty of being preliminary officers for the en- forcement of law, and the law of the United States is law in the state of Connecticut. The mayor and the po- lice and the officers of the federal gov ernment are all law enforcement off, cers. and the law can be enforced bet ter by their cooperation rather than hy their antagonism, and all ought to cooperate heartily in the enforce ment."

PONZFS OFFICE IS
 NOT CROWDED TO-DAY
State Bank Commissioners Actions Do Not Cause Run As Predicted
 By Wizard"

Boston, Aug. 10.-Clerks at the office of Charles Ponzi found little to demand their attention when the offices was opened at the usual hour today.
 Ponzi had predicted that the ac- tion, of the state bank commissioner yesterday in stopping payment on his checks would result in another run by holders of notes of the Se- curities Exchange Co. but few per- sons appeared. Those who called were told that no payments could be made and were asked to return again Saturday.
 Just how much Ponzi owes on these notes on which he has been paying 50 per cent interest in 45 days had not been determined. 4 new auditor was still at work on the books today. Ponzi was said by his at torneys to be checking up on the audit. He probably will confer with federal authorities today.
