Nea0 England Is Flooded
With Rootleggers' LiQuow

Special Dispdtcl, to The Tribune
BOSTON, Sept. 25.-Bootlegging has
not been so prevalent throughout New
England, with the exception of the
first few months after the prohibition
amendment went into effect, as it is to-
day.
Liquor can be had almost for the
asking and seemingly everywhere. 1t
is even delivered to the home on case
orders ard that, too, subject to sam
pling on the part of the purchaser.
Scotch whisky apparently has first
call in the demand and finds ready
market at $40 to SIS a quart. Rye
whisky is bringing $S to $12 quart
There appears to be no limit to the
amount one may purchase.
Selling over the bar is more or less
limited, but patron who is known
can obtain anything he wishes in many
of the near-beer saloons. The usual
saloon price for whisky is SO and rs
cents.
Local prohibition agents admit that
the number Of enforcement agents
their financial appropriation permits
them to hire is altogether too meager
to cope successfully with the situation.
Public sentiment appears generally
apathetic toward the entire matter and
no strong public demand is heard for
stricter enforcement.

Arbuckle Scandal HELPS
Fight to Dry California
.Sncc;al DiSuatch to The Tribune

Special Dispatch to The Tribune
SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 25.-Prohi-
|bition conditions are gradually but
slowly improving here according to E.
r. Mitchell, prohibition director, who
declares that arrests and convictions
under the Volstead act are growing
every month. This is due, he believes,
not to more Illicit trading, but to the
activity Of prohibition agents.
"The Roscoe Arbuckle scandal" said
director Mitchell yesterday, "has had
one good effect. 1t has brought to the
people a realization of the evils of
liquor and given the government the
cordial support of thousands Of citi-
zens who heretofore have apparently
not cared whether the Volstead act was
enforced or not. Women's organiza-
tions and civic bodies have concluded
that the sooner the liquor evil is
stamped out the quicker will a deal of
other crime cease
Il have in the last few days received
many letters to this effect from per-
sons who have been up to now only
lukewarm toward prohibition. They
have decided that it is up to the people
of the community to aid the govern
ment in enforcing the Eighteenth
Amendment Tips about bootleggers,
"blind pigs" and moonshine stills have
been much more numerous of late than
heretofore. Public sentiments is swing
ing around toward prohibition enforce
ment. If it does not waiver, l predict
that in a few months the state will he
almost dried up"
Prices for liquor coming under the
prohibition ban and Volstead enforce
ment act vary. What is called "frst
class stuff" whisky, can be obtained at
from $50 to S55 gallon in bulk. Case
goods range from $3.50 to $3.50 case
Of one dozen quarts. Gin brings SIS

SIS to $40 a gallon.

Whisky Sells in Denrer
For as Loau as $3 a Gallon

From The Tribune's Washington Bureau
DENVER, Sept. 25.-Thc only change
in the prohibition situation in Colo
RADIO in recent months has been that
bootleg liquor has become more easily
obtanablc. Despite vigorous anti
liquor campaign conducted SJ two
newspapers here public sentiment has
not been noticeably aroused, nor has
there been an apprcciable decrease in
the wholesale and retail liquor busi-
ness.
District Attorney Van Cise recently
announced that it appeared impossible
to get convictions from iuries in Den
YER in bootleg cases, and the enforce
ment problem seemed hopeless until
there was change in public senti-
ment.
E. IT. McLennahan, district Federal
prohibition director, declared last night
that the state was not 25 per cent wet,
and that tratficing in liquor has not in
creased but really decreased within the
last three months. He said the state
could be made dry if there were suf-
ticient funds appropriated to put
enough men on the job.
The price of bootleg liquor of the
higher grades averages about $12 a
gallon, or 81 a single pint. Bootleg
stuff, which leaves the drinker alive
afterward, is sold as low as $5 and in
some cases $3 q gallon. Bonded
liquors are rarely seen here now, cx-
cept in the cellars of the rich.

ST. LOUIS, Sept. 25.-More whisky
and beer are being sold in St. Louis
now than was sold six months ago.
according to those familiar with The
traiiic. The state and Federal authori-
ties apparently are unable to suppress
the flow and it has assumed wide pro
portions.
The Federal authorities are handi-
capped by an insufficient number of en-
1orcement officers, while the police.
owing to strong local sentiment against
prohibition, are in some sections Of the
city indifferent and inactive.
Bootleggcrs are bold and active. A
telephone call from those in the "know''
will quickly produce either a quart Of
moonshine OF of bonned goods.
a large number of saloons are sellino

Competition Forces Drop
Ir, Philadelphia Prices

PHlLADELPiIlA, Sept. 25.-The pro-
hibiton situation in Philadelphia as
compared with six months ago seems
to be unchanged IN so far as consump-
ton is concerned. The price Of liquor,
however, has dropped considerably, the
reason being given that "therc are too
many making their own There is very
little labeled goods on the market and
what is being sold IS straight home dis
titled, with the price running from $40
gallon up. A former saloonkeeper
said to-day the price of liquor has gone
down for the same reason that the price
OF other commodities has fallen, the
economic conditions OF the country not
permitting the high prices prevalent
heretofore.
Public sentiment is very apathetic
toward enforcement Of prohibition. Eff
forts Of prohibition officers have been
Of no avail ard the Illicit traffic in liquor
has increased rather than diminished.
There are fewer intoxicated persons to
be seen on the streets and the public
seems to be satisfied with the situation
as it stands. There is a general belief
that the prohibition act has served its
purpose in driving liquor from the pub
lie saloons into private homes, where it
will die natural death.

CIeueEanI Is Drying Up,
Prohibition Agents Assert
Special Dispatch to The Tribune

Special Dispatch to The Tribune
CLEVELAND, Sept. 25.-Is Cleve-
land drying up? Yes, says Chief Fed
eral Prohibition Agent Fred Counts,
and Chief Of Police Frank w. Smith
and police court judges add their
voices.
"No." comes chorus from varied
assemblage of liberals and here and
there an anti-Saloon League official.
One still buys whisky in Cleveland
from a large number of places. Gin,
good wines and brandy are much more
scarce, but are still available.
Whisky claimed to be "bonded" is
retailing for between SIG and $24 a
quart. Corn whisky, chiefly from the
mountains Of West Virginia, but also
from a large number of stills around
northern and central Ohio farms, sells
for SS or $40. Both can be bought, at
certain establishments scattered all
over Clcvand and its suburbs, by the
quart or by the drink.
Highest prices are being paid around
the more fashionable hotels and clubs.
The claim of the Federal prohibition
agents that the city and other north
ern Ohio communities are on the road
to dryness is based on the following
assertions:
First-That the Federal and police
officials have succeeded in stopping
much of the source of supply.
Second-That the Federal court SEN
fences of bootleggers, said to be among
We most severe in any United States

the present time would place the city
in the "dry" column regardless Of the
fact that at the last election on the
question the CITY went "wct" by we'll
over 10000 Others are firm in their
belief that the city would show n
greater "wet" vote than was ever cast
here.
Drunkenness is common. "W cts"
argue that those who want liquor will
get it even if Of an inferior, mnn-kill-
ing quality. whereas were the city to go
wet at least vastly better quality
would be obtainable.
Allied organizations fighting for pro
hibition are showing more activity than
they were six months ago. The 'wets"
are equally busy with the result that
each side is about holding their own.
Federal officials express belief that
the city can be dried up almost IN
"about two years"
Smuggling liquor is science. and
the organization of smugglers in and
near Detroit is admittedly one of the
best working machines in the world.
