Cassidy Assumes Duties
AS New State Dry Chief;
Stands For Laws First

PHOENIX, Sept. IN Strict en-
forcement of the Volstead Act, with
out fear or favor, will be the policy
of Nj. e. Cassidy, of Bisbee, who to-
day assumed the work of federal pro-
hibition director for the state of Ari-
zona. Cassidy's work win include the
enforcement and permit divisions of
the law. The new official, whose APP
pointment was announced last month.
succeeds Will H. Webb who has serv-
ed since the Volstead Act became
law. A special agent of the depart
ment in Washington is in Phoenix
checking over the office with Cassidy.
Declaring firmly against the boot
logger and the breaking of the law by
any one, Cassidy is equally determin-
ed that the agents Of the department
shall uphold the law.
1.-The questions have been asked:
What will be my prohibition enforce
ment policy, and what is the attitude
of the administration said Cassidy
yesterday. "The Eighteenth Ameno-
ment is part of the constitution.
The enforcement act is United
States statute. That is my answer.
Strict enforcement is my policy -
obedience to the law. 1t will be car
ried out without fear or favor.
Even were prohibition still an
open question, it must be remem-
bered that here in Arizona public op-
inion has twice decisively spoken"
he declared. when the issue was for
the second time submitted to the peo-
PIE in 1916, it carried by a majority
of 11,094. In Santa Cruz, the only
county where it was defeated, it lost
by one vote.
Il am well aware that efficient en-
forcement includes not only the ap-
prehension of the hip-pocket bootleg
gers; the bringing to justice of those
engaged in the traffic on a large
scale, but il includes as well the fact
that prohibition agents must them
selves keep within the law No de-
Walton from the strict line of their
lawful authority will be tolerated.
Should any such dereliction occur dur
ing my term of office, l will thank
any citizen, and, for that matter, any
bootlegger, to bring it to my atten-
tion

ment agents are obliged to carry COM
missions with them in their work. In
addition to the commission declara-
tion there are photographs on them.

with gold and other valuables on
which Leonid Krasin, the Soviet trade
representative, was riding.
Details of the alleged plot, reported
by the Cheka, or Eolshevik inquisi-

Agency, charged that it was partici-

number of Russians in Paris. All ac-

military stores in Petrograd their
grenades, dynamite and arms. They
blew up the Volodarsky statue and
then attempted to carry out assasina-
tions. They also planned to burn oil
stores and blow up Krassin's train.
The largest organization, the radio
dispatches asserted, was called the
"Petrograd fighting organization,
which had connections with secret
Germanophile organizations. Besides
it is declared, there also existed an
organization of the American intelli-
gence service and an organization ac-
tive under the French flag secret SER
