JOHN G. WOOLLEY ON
DRY TOUR OF WORLD
STOPPED HERE TODAY
Says Amendments to Prohi-
ton Law Would be Worse
Than Old Days.
PREFERS THE PRESENT LAW

Amendments allowing the manu-
facture and sale of light wines and
beer would be the death OF the Eigh-
teenth Amendment to the Federal
Constitution, and prohibition in the
United States, in the opinion of John
G. Woolley, candidate for the Presi-
dency OF the United States OF the Pro-
htbition Party in 1900, who was here
today
Claims Of the eTponents of the move
ment that enforcement OF the dry laws
would be easier If the restrictions were
loosened in this manner are false. he
said. in discussing tho matter with a
reporter of Every Evening. ''Prohi-
b,tion enforcement doesn't need any
help" he explained. THE dry laws are
infinitely better enforced than the
larceny laws"

tour OF Europe and part Of Asia, stop

He leaves for New York this after
noon. A lawyer licensed TO practice
before the Supreme Court Of the
United States Mr.. Woolley. gave UP
the practice of law 35 years ago for
the purpose OF fighting for national
/ prohibition. He is now 72 years old and
boldly starting on a trip which must
necessarily be filed with difficulties.
If light wines and beer were placed
On sale where would they be sold?" he
asks. III the soda fountains and
stores were allowed TO sell them, drink
/ ing would be far more common than In
the wettest OF the old days, end If
saloons were re-opened. the proprie-
tors would undoubtedly have no
scruples in selling liquor OF higher
alcoholic content The movement will
never get anywhere"
The purpose OF Mr.. Woolley's trip
IS to make a survey Of the situation in
Europe and report the success Of the
movement In this country. Complete
enforcement of the dry laws viii be
