PLAN QUICK WORK
 IN LIQUOR CASES
Federal Court Docket for the March Term Is Heaviest in
 a Long Time

The federal system which has been es- tablished to handle liquor statute viola tions by the filing of information against the persons charged, will greatly expe- dite justice. and does away with the usual grand jury investigation. accord ing to J. c. Smith, assistant United States attorney.
 we have adopted this measure" Mir. Smith said, that we may be able 60 clean these cases off the court docket right away and not wait the usual six months that transpires between the grand jury investigation and the next term of court after the report is made. This system gives the man his liberty from the charge or gives him his med icine in the quickest possible manner, and enables the court to keep the rec ords in better shape. It is also conven- tent for the attorneys concerned
 MT. Smith said that the March term of the federal court, which will open the first Monday in March, has the heaviest docket in years. There are over hun dred criminal cases to be set and 15 government civil cases to be heard.
 The attorneys office is working now on the docket which will be delivered to the United States clerk within few days for recording and publication.

DRY LEADERS IN CONGRESS HOPE
 ID TIGHTEN LAW
Providing New Legislation to Impose Flat Jail Sentence for First 0ffense of
 Selling Liquor
By Associated Press

Washington, January 31-Prohibition
 leaders in Congress are hoping to tighten up the Volstead law
 They are planning new legislation to provide flat jail sentence for the first offense of selling liquor, without giving the courts the optional right of impos- ing fine. Other changes being discussed among the prohibition leaders, relate to the search and seizure clause, so as to reach the home brew and to make more sweeping the present law under which a person buying liquor may be punished equally with the person selling it. Confiscation of every drop of liquor teld by citizens, regardless as to when or how it was acquired, is also being urged. This would legalze seizure of all stocks held in private cellars, or safety deposit vault. Objection to that, how 1 ever, has been made by some dry leaders that little such liquor finds it's way into channels of bootleg trade and that it won't be long before all such liquor will be used up.
 Unless a pending bill, which would permit federal commissioners to try min or liquor cases, is passed, the proposed amendment to the law would take care of this. Federal court dockets are now badly congested with volstead violations and government officials have reported
 change of procedure necessary. A big fight for amendment will start withs the opening of the new session in April, according to dry leaders. They said they have enough votes in the House now to put through any added l restrictions they might desire, but that there is not enough time left. Meanwhile. Chairman Volstead, of the | House judiciary committee, on whose shoulders will fall the bulk of revising I and tightening up, is awaiting wort | from prohibition enforcement officers as
 to suggestions for making the law "bul | let proof He wants the advice of ths
 men charged with responsibility of break | ing up the outlaw traffic
 l Chairman yolstead has expressed satis faction with the law, believing it wa.
 born with teeth, but in talks with mem ] bers he has expressed the belief tha others might be added.
 l Reports showing heavy transportation of liquor and wholesale smuggling prompted the movement to put persons ] transporting and selling it in jail righ off the bat.
 l In the effort to stop home brewing | and operation of kitchen or garret dis l tilieries, turning out small quantities o 1 liquor for sale, prohibition leaders ad
 init that they will run into a storm O {, opposition. When the Volstead bill wa. before Congress in 1919 the big fight wa
 on the search and seizure provision. This
 | as finally drafted, stipulated that n
 ! search warrant should be issued t.
 | search any private dwelling occupied a
 I such, unless it were being used for un
 ! lawful sale of liquor containing nor
 than one-haif of 1 per cent of alcohol
 Elimination of this provision. it wa
 said. would leave any place open t
