VERMONT DRY LAW
BEATS VOLSTEAD ACT
Inspector Lockwood Advises State Off
eials TO Seize All Vehicles Used
in TRANSPORTING Liquor

RUTLAND. July 1.-The prohibition
enforcement meeting held at the federal
bniIding Yesterday afternoon at the Insti-
CATION of Federal Prohibition inspector
Edward i. Lockwood of Burlington was
attended by States Attorney Charles r.:
Novak. Sheriff Henry r. Adams and
about 80 deputy sheriffs. eonstabies ana
grand jurors from all parts ;ef the county.
Inspector Lockwood said that the par
pose of the meeting was TO impart to the
officers just what their rights and au-
thorities were under the Vermont prohlbi-
ton enforcement law enacted at the last
session of the legislature.
Offer Lockwood said that in his opinion
this law was mueh more rigid and stricter
than the Volstead act enacted by congress.
Officer Lockwood laid particular stress
on the section that gives grand Juror,
sheriff. deputy sheriff or constable the
power to search. seize and arrest the occu-
pant of a wagon. automobile, truck, air
craft or any other vehicle without war
rant. .ss
The law states that all vehicles used in
the transporting intoxicating liquor shall
be seized. The only way liquor can be
legally transported, according to lnspec-
tor Lockwood. by automobile or other
vehicle is on a permit from the internal
revenue department at Burlington.
States Attorney Eoyak also gave the
county officers certain instructions about
the enforcement of the law telling them
that when making a seizure it was a
good plan to take all implements used IN
the sale of liquor. such as glasses, tunnels,
pitchers and other articles. 1t is the
plan of the federal officers to cooperate
with states attorney thereby giving dOu-
Bile enforcement of the law.

the gaily-colOred ostrich fan which she
moves across the line of vision, she is I'M

FORDNEY BELIEVES
IN NEW TARIFF BILL

ON American Industry and
Labor

WASHINGTON, July 1.-Chairman
Fordney of the house ways and means
committee in a statement today on the
permanent tariff bill said he did not
f,herald it as a panacea for all national
difficulties" but predicted that its effect
on American industry and American labor
would be entirely beneficial ..
Discussing the American valuation pro
vision. he said it had been contended
that "the proposal was one to secure
some sort of concealed protection" and
that 1T was a cloak under which import
duties would be materially increased.
Examination of the bill, however, he
added. will correct this erroneous i'm
preston. Che committee has taken full
eognizance of the fact that it is proposing
higher values generally and has reduced
the rate accordingly. a-.

Miss Sarah Lloyd
Goes To HattieSburg

The League Of Women Voters at NJ.

Convention by Miss Sarah Lloyd, a
member Of the Junior Class, whose
home is in Meridian. Miss Lloyd was
in attendance upon all the sessions Of
the Convention and made report to
the general BODY on the organization
and work Of the NJ. S. c. W. chapter.
She had the distinction of represent
ing the largest chapter in the State
as the membership in the NJ. S. G. w.
chapter exceeds that of any other
chapter in the State There is, how
ever, this difference that, whereas all
other chapters represented at the
Hattiesburg meeting are composed Of
actual women voters, the chapter Of
M c. W. is made up of prospective
voters almost entirely. Miss Lloyd
reports an interesting meeting and
she will doubtless tell the student
body something of the work of tie
