~ V.-I- Y.rald Rrreau !

Special Dispatch TO THE NEW YORK ttnHALp
New York Herald Bureau.
Washington. ID. C.. Nov. 2S.
Wet leaders in Congress are praising
the President for making known the
true situation in the country with re-
gard to enforcement of the prohibition
law. The President has accomplished,
they say. what many members of Con-
gress have been endeavoring to do with
only Indifferent success because OF the
claims and denials OF Prohibition Com
missioner Haynes and others
Representative Tinkham (MassD said
to-day: cit has been patent for many
months TO all those who gave atten-
ton to the situation that enforcement
was a failure and the flamboyant
claims OF the dry organization We're
not to be taken seriously. If an I'M
mediate change is not brought about
the situation will become national
scandal"
Wet leaders are elated and much en-
couraged. They say serious CABINET
discussion of the situation fully justifies
the efforts they are to make TO reveal
true conditions. They want the coun-
try Informed of the full extent OF
alleged corruption and mismanagement
of every character in prohibition en-
forcement.
Representative John Philip Hill (Md.)
renewed his efforts to have prohibition
enforcement placed under the Depart
ment of Justice. He sent letter to
Representative Volstead (Minn.), Chair
man Of the Judiciary Committee, in
which he requested that the committee
hold a hearing on December II on his
bill providing for the transfer. Mr.. Hill
called attention to the opposition or
Wayne B. Wheeler ana the Anti-Saloon
League to this legislation and added
that it now has become obvious That
attempted enforcement is futile under
present conditions.
Cooperation between Federal officfais
and state authorities in the enforcement
of criminal laws. including violations OF
the Volstead act, the Dyer act, the mar
cotic act and postal frauds act has
been advanced through system OF
conferences recently arranged between
United States Attorneys and State pro-
hibition attorneys. Attorney-General
Daugherty announced to-day.
The cases arising under these laws
have placed a tremendous load upon
the division during the fiscal year, he
said.
More than 60.0oo new cases were begun
during the year included In the report
and SO, ,155 were terminated. Recent legis-
iaton providing for additional trial
judges will prove helpful, the Attorney
General saws.
