BLOCK DRY AGENTS
Deliberate Attempts Discredit
SIeuths and Work Done
In Wisconsin
ASSOCIATED Press Dispatch.l

Madison, Wis, September S.-A
deliberate attempt is apparently be-
ing made by elements opposed to
prohibition enforcement, to publicly
discredit agents of the state prohibi-
ton department, W. Stanley Smith,
said, in statement today. He made
particular reference to the situation
in Milwaukee where warrants were
sworn out for three deputies, charg-
ing them with assault.
reports of my men shows that
two of them, were not present when
the alleged assault in which these two
were said to be the principal figures.
according to newspaper reports, took
place. When these deputies demand
ed that the warrants be served on
them the whole farce was shown UP,
and the matte rdropped, but only af-
ter wide publicity had been given.
THE organization known as the
Camels is apparently behind an at
tempt to discredit the state prohibi-
tion forces and intimidate local po.
lice officers from extending aid
They have been successful In gain
ing newspaper publicity, but have
never yet proved any unlawful act
on the part of state deputies. These
men who are working for prohibition
enforcement in Wisconsin are of too
high type to be parties to any dis,
creditable acts
