Only l5OLiquor /
Permits for n. Y. !.
State This Year
u. S. District Attorney Ross,
Tells Rotary Club of Pro-
posed Reduction From the
1920 Issued i'm 1920

Hasty organization, low salaries and
consequent dishonesty and the hostility
ofeitizens who should have been most
interested in supporting the authorities
have been responsible for failure of the
government to stop the sale of liquor,
according to United States District At
torney Leroy w. Ross. of Brooklyn.
Mr.. Ross addressed the Rotary Club
Of that borough at luncheon yester-
day in the Hotel Bossert He also said
that only $50 permits for liquor with
drawals would be issued in this state
in 1921. Last year 1920 were issued.
THE difficulties confronting the Dis
trsct Attorneys office have been four
fold" he said. During last year wx
had, first, to deal with more than IT,
600 persons who were permitted to
withdraw liquors from bond. and al
though their disposition Of that liquor
was presumably checked up there was
apparently no difficulty in obtaining
the services OF clever bookkeepeYs.
"Second,we had TO deal with an en-
forcement bureau in which many of the
men were absolutely crooked, and a
still larger number were absolutely in
efficient.
Third, we had 20 proceed without
any cooperation on the part of the
local police, and, as showing the neces-
slty for this cooperation, | might say
that at no time have there been in
the district comprising Staten Island,
Brooklyn and all the rest of Long ISL
and more than twenty-five prohibition
agents, whereas the police force in the
three boroughs of Richmond, Brook
lyn and Queens probably numbers
5000.
Then, fourth. we had to deal with
not only the Indifference, but in thou
sands of cases with the absolute hostil-
ity and active opposition to enforce
ment on the part of the very type OF
citizens who should be most interested
in seeing law and order upheld"
a deep impression was made by the
speaker when he announced that not
more than $50 permits for the with
drawal Of liquor from warehouses
would be issued in the whole State of
New York during 1921.
The District Attorney urged the CO.
operation of business men in the work
of the authorities. He said that new
agents had been employed, larger SAL
aries are being paid and the enforce
ment office is undergoing a thorough
overhauling.

The Anti Saloon league vesterd.,. :.

statement:
The message speaks for itself. The
Governor told thc public last fall that
he would make such recommendation
and he has done it. -
I'VE have no objection whatever to
the Governors suggestion that strict
enforcement may lead to modification
If a fair test of prohibition through
law enforcement does not prove bene-

it ought to be modified.

Jacob Goldman, of Hampstead, L. l.,

the stork outsped it yesterday when
Manhattan, with Mrs. Goldman. It
was manifest at the outskirts of
Jamaica, Queens, that the stanch little
car was losing the race and Goldman
made for St. Mary's Hospital there in
desperate haste.
The youngest Goldman first saw the
light in his daddy's car as it quivered
in the courtyard of the hospital. He
arrived breathless and had to be car
ried into the hospital and inflated with
a pulmotor before beginning to squall

When Henry F. Goldman, or what

better omen even than the proverbial

Restraining Order Puts
Science Church to Test

Upon as Challenge TO the
Rights of Members
Special Dispatch to The T.s5un

ATLANTIC CITY, N. j., Jan. 13.-
What promises to be a test case of
the rights Of members Of the Christian
Science Church throughout the nation
has been started in Atlantic City by
the issuance of a restraining order
against the First Church of Christ Sci
entists OF this city.
This case has grown. out Of the con-
troversy in Boston between the trustees
Of the Christian Science Publishing
Society and the Christian Science
Board of Directors of The Mother
Church over question of relative au.
thority,- which is now before the Su-
preme Judicial Court of Massachusetts
for decision.
In Atlantic City the First Church
has adopted several resolutions at bust
ness meetings, seeking to bind the
members to one line of action. The
last resolution, adopted last week by
majority vote, required members who
are holding official or representa- tive
positions to refrain from reading or
circulating the literature published bv
the Christian Science Publishing So
clety Tor the time being.

Baird was taken from the iail bv 2

Says Newark Officials
Aid Dry Law Violations
Anti-Saloon Leader Holds Ii.
cense to Sell Brewed Liquors
Is Conspiracy Against Law

City officials of Newark, N. J., were
charged yesterday by Samuel Wilson,
assistant superintendent of the Anti
Saloon League, of that state, with con-
spring with saloon keepers to violate
the Federal prohibition laws. The al
legation is embodied in letter from
Wilson to United States District At
torney Elmer Fl. Geran.
The fact that licenses are being
issued by Newark officials to permit
the sale of brewed liquors is discussed
in the letter.
"Under these licenses" the Anti
Sa!oon League officer says, ''the
licensees have been very openly and
boldly selling distilled spirits in all
PARTS Of the city, apparently fully justi-
fed by the authority granted by the city
government. These facts appear to
prove that certain officers of the
Newark government have conspired
with certain saloon keepers to commit
an otfense against the United States. in
violation Of Section 81 Of the Federal
penal code"
