Smuggling Most Troublesome
Factor in Liquor Situ5tion

How about the smuggling Situatiort'
Bad" said Langley. That's the biggest
trouble Of ALL Enough whiskey comes
through from Canada t. float the United
States Navy. In stretch OF TWENTY-FIVE
counties In this State We have only eighteen
men, to keep an eye upon III gateways
through which booze can ooze from CaLadu.
That's absurd Of course. The result Is that
little progress is made stopping the Snug
gers. They do about rs they please and
their tricks and devices are endless. They
use fast motor cars with blinding head
lights. They pack the stuff through The
woods over Indian trails and deer tuns,
carrying five and ten gallon tins. They
bring II over In canoes Their strategemS
are endless. There Is 1aly traffic in this
smugged whlskey from Canada. Snug
Cling runs the entire length of the border,
but we got our share at this end.

Sizing up the whole enforcement situation,
there are a few factors that stand out, in

ports, This is relatively light, but a good
deal does get in first and last and it ali
contributes TO our troubles.
The fourth means of supply for the
thirsty is the bonded wbiskey released on
bona fide permits from Government ware
houses and then diverted from the legal and
permitted use in medicines and toilet arti
cles to straight beverage purposes. \ whole
lot of whiskey goes astray in that way
Here's the way the scheme is worked
ordinarily A wholesale dealer goes to the
State Prohibition Director Charles r.
O'Connor, and obtains a permit to with
draw ten barrels of whiSkey declaring the
whiskey is for non-beverage purposes, drugs
and medicines. Then the wholesaler
promptly sells To another wholesaler who
sells to third. who does business with
fourth. who may split the lot in selling 10
his customers. and finally the ten barrels
are so divided and subdivided that ii i
sometimes impossible to identify the with
drawal. Somewhere along this devious
course of trade the liquor gets into the
hands of bootleggerS. There have been
about 30.0OOOO0 gallons of whiskey with
drawn. and the speculation Is that the
greater part of it has been diverted to bev-
erage purposes.

Recalling the Four Men
Who Preceded Him in Office

The first, it will be recalled was James
months before Washington decided to shift
him to Texas. Then came Frank l.. Boyd
who quit last November after waling that
ii was thankless and a hopeless task to
try to make New York dry. The third in
line was Knox Phagan whose tenure was
quite short, however sweet, and then came
Daniel l.. Chaplin who, while with us briefly
enough, revealed himself to be a man of
parts. For example. he had his whole flock
Of agents before him one day, more than
100 fellows who had been uncovering Tor
covering) law violations, and he made them
all lay their two hands upon his desk top.
Everybody that wore a diamond ring got
the sack. No honest prohibition enforce
ment officer could afford to wear diamonds,
said Dan Chaplin. And now comes Langley,
himself a character, and speaking with as
tonishing frankness about the formidable
character of his task.
He comes from eastern Kentucky, as has
been sad from the hill country where Re.
publicans abound where feuds are fought
out through thinning generations; where
moonshne whskey has been made for a
century and quarter and will continue to
be made rs long as the men of the noun

that the Government has no more right to

Thinks There Always Will Be
Some Booze SIoshing Around

Eventually in my Judgment say in
about three years. the liquor problem in
New York city will get down to a home

Langley replied. $50 much Is concealed

Of the stuff hidden In barns and cellars
