/
Changes in the Volstead law either OF
the drier or the more moist variety are
not probable in the near future. Repre-
sentative Nolstead author OF the ma
tional prohibition enforcement act and
chairman of the House Judiciary Com
mittee, said to-day. No amendments
have been considered by any committee
and the present legislative jam probably
would prevent action at this session, he
said. He also believes any possible
prohibition Legislation will not be passed
until many months after the new Con-
gress convenes.
Mr.. Volstead himself has no changes
in mind and he pointed out that in all
testimony before Congressional appro-
priatlons committees neither Internal
commissioner Williams nor Prohibition
Commissioner Kramer suggested any
amendments.
The next Congress, in the opinion OF
Mr. Vostead, will be as dry and PROB
tbly drier than the present body. ne

OUT OF CHINESE NEW YEAR
Red Fire and Frecrackers Will Lose Their Kick Also
J.. With Rice Wine Missing at Today's
Celebration

To-day is the Chinese New Year. but
indications are that it VIII not amount
to much here. and for the same reason
that the celebration or the last Christian
New Year did not amount 10 much.
Prohibition made Of the New Yeas Of
the Christians a sad thing by taking
whiskey from the Christians; 1t will
make the Chinese New Year an even
sadder thing by taking rice wine away
from the Cinnamon. Probably there
will be less rice wine in evidence in
Chinatown to-day, even IN proportion to
numbers, than there was whiskey on
Broadway Oh January ].
About the only thing the Chinese of
New York will do to-day that they have
done on other New Years days will
be to pay their debts; because for csn-
turies il has been terribly bad luck for
a Chinese to go into the New Year with

Albany. Feb. 6.
The Legislature is prepared to en-
act Gov. Milers recommendations
dealing with liquor enforcement. The
Federal law as defined in the Volstead
act is to he written into this States
statutes within a few days, New York
is about to copper rivet the bone dry
edict
Only two or three formal and legal
steps are yetrto be taken before this
State summons all its police power to
fight the bootlegger A public hearing
will be held on Wednesday; the three
bills known as the administrator
measures then will go to the two
houses for debate. There will be a
little furry of excitement as the hand
full of anti-drys make their last stand.
But the bills will be passed. The order
tremendous power of the majority or
ganization will be brought into play to
swing votes. That will not be nece--
sary. in all probability.
The only ray Of sunshine left to the
man who still believes in moderation
in drinking rather than in prohibition
is seer in the Governors statement
that the only way TO kill bad law is
to enforce it literally. He does not
say that the enforcement law is bad.
The bone dry bills now pending are
drastic to the extreme. The prohibition
enforcement this State has known up to
this time will seem generous and liberal
compared with what the State will know
soon.
VIII End OMciaI Laxness.
The few dozen Federal officers have
been powerless to meet the situation. BY
the enactment of the dry bills the state
will specifically charge every Sheriff,
District Attorney. Police Commissioners,
policeman and constable in every county
with the duty OF enforcing the law. The
/ State and county officers have been no
/ tably lax in enforcement so far. They
! have taken the position that the duty
lay with the Federal Government and
the latter officials have complained
loudly that the State did not cooperate.
The Governor has sounded the warn
ing. He has given notice that he will
remove any Police Commissioner Sheriff
or District Attorney who winks at the
law. The Governor means business. He
will make an example of the first officer
found guilty of negligence.
Take New York city. There the police
have not turned their hand to enforce
the Federal statute. Within a few days
every policeman walking the streets will
be charged with the duty of reporting
every suspected speak easy" II tho DO
liceman fails the Commissioner may be
removed.
! And up along the border. on the shores
of the lakes and the st. Lawrence
River. the streams of booze have been
flowing steadily in unchecked. Sixty
| Federal officers have tried TO dam that
| flood. Their efforts have amounted to
practically nothing. Sixty officers. no
/ matter how diligent. could not watch a
I hundredth part OF that long shore line.
7 The states mounted constabulary will
/ now patrol the border. The county Off
/ cials all along the lakes ana river will
I be on guard.
! Every conceivable phase of the liquor
/ traffic business is covered in .the bills
now pending.
