Taxing OUT LIQUOR
HALTED BY KRAMER
Order Stops Withdrawals
From Bonded Warehouses
in Seven States.

All Withdrawals Of liquor from
bonded warehouses in Maryland,
Pennsylvania, New York, Rhode Is
land, Connecticut, Massachusetts ana
New Jersey have been stopped by or
der Of Prohibition Commissioner kra-
mer, with the exception of industrial
alcohol, wines for sacramental pur-
poses and five cases of whisky to each
retail druggist with a permit to fill
prescriptions for intoxicants.
Announcement to this effect was
made last night at the Office of the
order was in keeping with other
stringent regulations made recently
to curtail the traffic in whisky.
The states named are those where
the violations of the Volstead act
have been the most notorious. In
drinks have been sold openly over
bars. and those who wanted to pay
the price have been able to get any
amount from half pint to Il truck
load. Not all Of the liquor 80 disposed
of has come from warehouses, how
ever. much of it having been SNUG
gled across the Canadian border and
some having been made by mixing
alcohol with water and some color
ing agent.
Acts to Stop Forged Permits.
A forerunner of this drastic order
was seen in instructions sent out
from Washington two days ago or
dering all customs agents and all SUI
perintendents of warehouses to verify
every permit for withdrawal of bond
ed liquors by referring it for con-
firmation to the prohibition agent
who issued it. This order stated that
failure to do this would. in the dis
erection of the commissioner, result in
the permit being revoked. The action
was taken to stop the widespread use
of forged permits for obtaining
whisky.
Though the order announced last
night did not say so directly, it is
understood that if the liquor traffic
in other states not included in its
provisions begins to show an increase
it will be extended to include them.
Virginia was not included in the
order stopping the Withdrawals. Com
missioner Kramer. who made a trip
through the eastern part of the state
last week, said that the law was much
more effectively enforced in that COM
monwealth than in the northeastern
states, and that no liquor was being
sold over bars. The principal diff

would not agree to the prcraier's find

On the other hand, it was believed
the French government could do no

determination of the French people
