II is quite probable that when the

vorabiy, The records show that
many cases of viola tiou of. The nro-
hihition laws have bean handled by
the forces OF both departments. But.
wha. the grand Jury would like 4,
know IS. bow the importation of
liquor can be stopped.
Prohibition Commissioner Smith,
Director of Public Safety Myers and
Chief OF Police Sherry have con-
ferred with the grand jury, and, pre-
sumabiy, the entire situation has
been gone over. So far as can be
learned. the grand jury has un-
earthed nothing which may reflect
upon the officials in the conduct of
their duties. There Is nothing upon

mendations as to Improvement in
handling the problem may be pre-

Asks fn. More Men.
Director Myers has. upon several
occasions, asked for more men for
the Police Department. Last year
he was given ten men and two
women. lie asked for about forty.
With enlarged duties. widencd terri
tory to cover and more important
sections to patrol. there has been a
demand for more men. said the al

The records for the past seven
years. including two years during
the "wet" regime, are Significant. In
dicating the activities of tho police In

liquor laws. In 1915, there were p
Ola arrests: 1916, 2.154: 1917, 2.442:
ls1S, 2.55S: 1919, 1926: 1920. 1913;
1921, o.234. This indicates there were
more arrests last year than in either
or the wet years of 1915 and 1916
The big problem. therefore. which
confrontS the Brnnu jury ana tho
officials, Is how L. prevent tho inn

Liquor In Abundance.
That there is plenty" of liquor
around. is shown by the number of
arrests. Director Myers stated in his
last report, that, while every effort
was being made to stop the alleged

more with additional men. lie says

homes without search warrants drawn
