Another resolution adopted praises

Prosecutor and Police to
Confer To-day to Evolve
Plan That Will Prevent

Pending Cases May Fall
Suspension of Dry Agents
ON Whose Testimony Con.

Albert Unger, Assistant District At
torncy, in charge of prohibition cases,
Will confer to-day with Inspector Nc
Donald, of the Liquor squad, to de-
termine the regulation Of Federal per
mits. There never has been working
plan under which the permit holders
could have their permits verified and
be free from molestation by the police.
All the permit holders were ordered
to ille their permits with the County
Clerk or Secretary of State, but many.
it is said, have failed to do so.
AT the conference to-day those who
have not filed their permits will be
ordered to do so at once. By not fling
their permits they are guilty of n
misdemeanor, but more time will be
given them before they are prosecuted.
Mr.. Unger said
Upward of 1900 liquor complaints
are now awaiting the extraordinary
term OF the Supreme Court. The no.
lice have sent up 2,207 complaints.
There have been 207 indictments and
about 200 cases have been dismissed
prosecutors Are Handicapped
The suspension of Federal prohibi.
tion agents has hampered the prosecu-
tion Of large percentage of 500 eases
on the calendar of the Federal Court
in Brooklyn. Many of the cases de
pend on the testimony of suspended
agents, who, it is said, arc apathetic
because their pay is stopped and they
believe they may be replaced by Re-
publicans under the new Administra-
tion.
The most important cf these cases
are two against liquor dealers charged
with bribery by Judson Westmoreland
and Jesse Harvey, negro agents. When
the case came up yesterday before Fed
ersl Judge Cooper, it was found that
the agents had departed for the South.
1t may be necessary to dismiss these
cases and many more for lack Of evi.

A committee OF citizens met Inst
night at the Hotel Astor and arrange d
for an anti-prohibition parade on Inde-
pendence Day. Frank C. Drake, who
issued the call tor the meeting, was
elected director general Of the parade
movement.
Following the meeting MIR Drake
said he already had enrolled an army
OF 10000 mavchers. The demcnstra-
tion will be known as an anti-prohibi-
tion protest, this having been decided
over q proposition to call it personal
liberty parade. When il was found
that the American Association for
Recognition of the Irish Republic had
obtained the Fifth Avenue parade
rights for Independence Day It was
announced that an effort would be
made to use Broadway.

aging editor OF The Ladies' Home Jour
nal, was selected to answer the assaults
of the drys through publicity. G. Wal

II think 1T is great wrong for any
officer to take upon himself the au-
thority of entering mans home with
out warrant. 1t is n dangerous pro-
cedure and might result seriously.
While the law may be good one i.
must be enforced legally. Officers have
not the right TO become belligerentlf 7
offensive and perniciously active.
There is too much OF that in this
county. Men get into power for a day
and they are not satisfied with the
power the public has conferred upon
them. They begin TO abuse their
power. Men upon the bench should act
within the law and not become tyran.
nical. They should not be looking for
newspaper notoriety nor putting up a
ladder to reach higher Office while they
are on the bench"
