Wet Propaganda
I'm QUESTIONABLE
OF Mayors Denied
Secretary Capes Explains
Query Sent to Chiefs of
Police ON State Enforce
nlent WTas ON Request
f'gom Q staG Corrsspondent


Albany, May 11.--Denial that the
dry enforcement questiounaire sent out
by the State Conference OF Mayors
was wet propaganda was made to-day
by William p. Capes, Secretary of the
Conference.
Mr.. Capes said the auestionnaire was
sent to the police chiefs Of the munich
pallCies of the state because Of re-
quest OF the head of the police depart
ment OF city Of $1,000.
This police head, in his letter to The
state Conference of Mayors, said he
had only uniformed force, the mem
bers of which were known to nearly
every one in town, In order to obtain
evidence against bootleggefs the coun-
ty prosecuting officer engaged private
detectives. This was charged against
the county. The supervisors, mostly
from rural communities, held that the
charge should be borne exclusively by
the municipality and that the police
department Of the city must obtain the
evidence.
In accordance with this request the
questionnaire was issued which result
ed in some forty police chiefs, in more
than two-thirds of the cities of the
state, declaring thas not only could the
law not be enforced by the uniformed
force, but some went so far as TO as
sert that the Muilan-Gage act never
could be enforced in their localities.
1.-THE statements of the police chiefs
regarding the possibilities of enforc-
ing the Mullen-Gage law were purely
voluntary" said Mr.. Capes. "They
were not solicited. In fact, when the
QUESTIONABLE was sent out the bill had
not been passed by the Legislature.
This Office did not make public the
replies, but sent them to the police
chiefs of the cities of the state for
their information"
Mr.. Capes explained that similar
qucstionnaires on other laws had been
sent out. When asked for specific in
stances, he recalled the information
sought at the request of an upstate
chief Of police last year who wanted
to know how other police departments
OF the state enforced the junk dealers
act.
Governor Miller declined to com
nent further on the replies Of the
police chiefs. Some Of the Governors
friends regard the volunteered state
ments of the law enforcement heads
as an attempt on the part of the vets
to discredit him. The Governor, who
has declared repeatedly that he was
not prohibitionist, and did not be-
lieve in the regulation of personal
habits by law, has taken the attitude
that the laws, pleasant and un-
pleasant, must be enforced.
The Governor to-day made formal
announcement of the calling of an
extraordinary term of the Supreme
Court in New York City, to begin June
and to handle the two to three
thousand bootlegging cases which have
resulted from enforcement of the
Mullen-Gage act. Justice Henry V.
Borst, of Amsterdam, who will pre-
side, will be ready to begin trials on
the date set

Edison Job Hunters Bump
Into New and Harder List
Inventor, Annoyed at Publication of QuestRonnaire,
Gets Even by Producing Another, Leaving Fresh
Batch of Bright Young Mem Badly Tangled Up

mayed by the formidable questionnaire
prepared by Thomas A. Edison fog the
examination of all applicants for e xec
utive training in his plant, journoyed
to East Orange, N. j., yesterday and

terday by one OF the applicants that
the publication of the original ques-
tionnaire had caused considerable ex-
element at the Edison plant. In con-
sequence a new set of questions was
propounded, thereby causing not a lit
tie discomfort in the ranks of the Job
seekers, some of whom had "crammed"
on the original list.

to the young college graduates. They
insisted, after they had consumed the
two hours and fiftaen minutes allowed
them te give the answers, that it re-
CURED more ability to handle the new
questionnaire than the old.

plicant who disclosed the Edison sgs-
tenn after answering the first list
