Women Voters Object

Special Despatch to TIE NEw YosK
HERALr.
CHICAGO, March 1.-THE
Illinois election laws provide
that curtains on voting booths
fall to not less than twenty-four
inches above the floor, so that at
least two feet of a voters legs
must be exposed to view while
he is exercising his franchise.
This law was enacted TO pre-
vent more than a single voter
from occupying g booth at the
same time. And now the women
voters are objecting. II is their
own business, they say, how high
they wear their skirts in the
street. But legs per Sc, they con-
tend, are suggestive. Their sus-
picions were aroused by the alac-
rity with which certain young
men about town were offering to
serve as judges of election with
or without pay.
To-day Waukegan women pro-
tested in force against the pro-
vision, and asked that curtains
be made lower before the local

WHOLESALE LIQUOR
STORES MUST CLOSE
Federal Order Limits Sales to
Druggists Only After
May Is Next.
Special Despatch TO THE NEW York HERALD
New York Herald Burean,


New York Herald Bureau,
Washington, ID. c., March IL.
All wholesale dealers In liquor, whis-
key. rum, wine, beer and gin In the
United States must retire from business
by May IS under orders issued by Pro-
hibition Commissioner Kramer to-day.
At the same time the Commissioner
orders repeating the ban on whiskey
Withdrawals by retail druggists which
has been in effect In practically all
Eastern States for several months.
Coincident with these announcements
Secretary OF the Treasury Mellon made
IL known that the tt easury Department
under the new administration is to get
rid Of prohibition enforcement as
rapidly as possible under the general
scheme for Government reorganization.
Secretary Mellon and other officials
believe that since enforcement OF pro-
hibition has ceased to be revenue
measure and has become entirely one
of crime enforcement. jurisdiction lies
entirely in the Department OF Justice.
The Internal Revenue Bureau Of the
Treasury charged with collection OF the
huge taxes prevailing, already IS over
burdened and should not. 1t is believed,
be saddled with q purely enforcement
measure that rightfully belongs IN the
department charged with detection ana
prosecution Of crimes against the United
States.
Action stopping all activity OF whole
sale dealers in liquor in the country was
taken under an opinion by the Attorney
General holding that such dealers had
no place under the prohibition enforce
ment act and that the only authorized
purveyors Of liquor were wholesale and
retail druggists.
The official announcement on the SUD-
ject follows:
'The Prohibition Commissioner has di-
dected letter to all the Federal prohi-
bition directors stating that on or about
April /, 1921, the order heretofore Is
sued to the effect that no whiskey should
be withdrawn from bonded warehouses
will be modified to the extent of permit
ting retail druggists to make with
drawals OF whiskey from bonded ware
houses and from distillery free ware
houses. This modification Will not ap-
ply to wholesale druggists but merely
to retail druggists.
'~The directors were also informed that
the new regulations concerning sale OF
LIQUOR at wholesale under the opinion or
the Attorney-General will in all prob
ability become effective about May -
next, at which time the applications or
wholesale liquor dealers. as such, for re-
newal Of their permits for the year 1871,
will be disapproved.
1T will therefore be necessary for the
wholesale liquor dealers who have liquor
In their possession to govern themselves
in the light Of this contemplated action
and legally dispose OF said liquors be-
tween this time and May Is. The SAID
liquors can be disposed of TO whole
sale or retail druggist holding permit
authorizing the purchase OF liquor.
Wholesale liquor dealers. however. Will
not be permitted to obtain any additional
stocks of liquors."
