Jerseys confiscated Liquors
One of the features of the far
reaching prohibition enforcement law
which is beginning to fill the jails Of
New Jersey will be the distribution OF
seized liquor to the state institutions
under the direction of the Department
of Health Naturally the unfortunate
wards of some of the charitable insti-
tutions will probably desire to enter
protest to testing some of the fearful
and wonderful stuff masquerading as
whisky, but they will be relieved Of
that trying ordeal.
Under Section 30 of the enforcement
measure the department is assigned
the task of analyzing such confiscated
liquor as may be designated by mag
istrate for possible use for medicinal
purposes in the institutions or hos
pitfalls. The department is also requir-
ed to assume the responsibility for the
storage Of this liquor and must ac-
count for its safety. The department
has designated DR.. r. B. Fitz-Ran-
doolph of Trenton as custodian of
liquor held for medicinal use, and DR..
Jacob G. Price, director Of the de-
| partment, has been instructed TO draft
regulations to govern its use.
This additional work will necessitate
a considerable increase in the working
| force of the state laboratory and addi-
| tional equipment will be required. DR..
Fitz-Randolph, who is the assistant d.
rector of the department, has been au-
| thorized by the board to employ what
ever assistance he may require and to
adopt whatever measures may be con-
sidered necessary to prevent confiscat-
ed liquor from falling into possession
of unauthorized persons.
1t is said that soon after the lew
was enacted the department received
numerous applications from citizens In
| all parts of the state who appeared
perfectly willing to make the required
tests, but the applications have been
turned down. The department will
not allow any liberal interpretations
Of the act, but will guard tine stocks
night and day, giving out no informa-
| ton as to the storage places. When
the tidal flow begins, it is feared, there
will be heavy pressure upon Governor
Edwards for appointments to the state
health boards, but the members de-
clare with emphasis that there will be
no official leakage.
Probers Over Allowance.
An itemized account of the expenses
incurred by the legislative investigat-
ing committee, whose activities have
been brought to a summary close
| through exhaustion of its funds, was
filed with State Comptroller Bugbee
and shows deficit of $3,435.53. The
] Joint resolution adopted by the Legis-
lature provided an appropriation OF
$4,000 Its expenses up to date, how
ever, amount to $13, 1853 and may go
even higher. The 1922 Legislature
will be called upon to meet the deficit.
Senator Mackay, of Bergen, chair
man of the committee, placed the re-
sponsibility for the inability to the
committee to complete its task, espe-
| cially In Hudson county and the in
| vestigation of the administration OF
the National Guard, upon Governor
Edwards, who disapproved an addi-
tional appropriation of $4,000.
| The preliminary report of the COM
mittee's findings, made public Satur-
day, bears the signatures of but two
members, Chairman Mackay ana
Speaker Hobart, of the Assembly. The
signature of Assemblyman T. Harry
Rowland, of Camden, had been crudely
eliminated through the use of an Grad
| icator.
