EDWARDS APPOINTS
NUGENT PROSECUTOR
Jersey Senate Gets an Anti
Blue Law Bill and Plans for
New Hudson City.

Special Dispatch 20 THE NEW YoRY diERALp.
TRENTON, Jan. 16-Gov. Edwards
aroused the ire OF Senator Parry of
Essex county tonight by sending to the
Senate the nomination of James r.
Nugent as Prosecutor of Essex county.
Mr.. Parry announced that he would
oppose confirmation upon the ground
that Mr.. Nugent's well known wet pro-
clivities would prevent him from en-
forcing the prohibition law.
Other Republicans did not entirely
share the views of Mr.. Parry and the
question of confirmation seems to hinge
upon whether the Senatorial precedent
requiring Endorsement from the Sena-
tor from the county of the appointee
shall prevail. Mr.. Nugent is the most
influential Democratic leader in the
State. despite the partial ostracism fol-
lowing his break with President Wilson.
At the close of conference of Sena-
tors tonight IT was said Mr.. Nugent's
nomina tion would be confirmed despite
opposition by Senator Parry.
The Governor also sent to the Senate
the nomination of Joseph S. Hoff of
Princeton, to succeed James IL. Null
heron as principal keeper of the State
Prison. The nomination was confirmed

DRIVE TO REPEAL
DRY LAW LAUNCHED
American Liberties League to
Take Test Cases to United
States Supreme Court.

Active steps toward the repeal of the
volstead law were started last night by
several hundred members of the Ame~i-
can Liberties League, Inc, in the bal
room of the Hotel Astor. Speakers de-
nounced conditions which they said were
brought about by the law and which they
said had caused more drunkenness in
this city than ever before.
Miss Elisabeth Marbury, after saying
she believed the stockholders of most
of the soft drink companies were close'y
allied with the prohibitionists, declared
that rs per cent. of the well to do homes
in this city have all they want to drink
and boast of it.

are products of the law which Mr. Vol
stead slipped over while the American
citizens smiled compIacently and though:
1t was joke" Miss Marbury said.
Martin G.. McCue, former State Sena-
tor, told OF the struggle against prohibi-
tion in Albany and declared the law
was built upon false foundation and
passed under false pretenses.
DR.. J. f. Vavasour, who was con-
nee:ed for. some time with several insti-
thtions lot tne Insane, SAID tne So-calleu
alcoholic cases. were rare and asserted
the drys had falsified reports of the
amount OF mental patients and degener-
atcs which were alleged to have been
tne result OF alcohol.
Cooke Conkling. lawyer from New
Jersey. praised Governor Edwards for
vetoing the Van Ness law in that State.
Resolutions were adopted to present
cases in the United States Supreme
Court to test the validity OF the Volstead
act and committee of three was ap-
pointed to take charge of the matter A

not prohibited to any extent. nor has
1t brought a condition of peace and
prosperity. The State has gone
through it's worse crime wave In his
tory during the last two years, and
while this may not be attributable to
prohibition TIE facts are that more
people have been murdered and more
rowdyism has existed than at any
time under the dispensary days.
Gov. Cooper is quoted as saying that
the crime wave is not due to prohibi-
tion and that conditions might be
worse had prohibition not existed. but
the fact is made clear that the State
is very far from dry, and on the mat
ter OF enforcement the correspondent
quoted Mayor r. j. Blalock OF Colum-
bia thus:
CLOSER cooperation by the prohibl-
tionists would stop much OF the viola
tion of the law. Three-tifths of the
people of the State are in favor of pro-
hibition, but this three-fifths so an
tagonize the remaining two-fifths that
there is no chance for anything like
adequate enforcement of the law"
Less Rum Running In Florida.
Reports as to conditions in Florida
vary, but that it is wet wherever the
population is at all considerable seems
to be the consensus. Innumerable
tales are told of supplies of liquor
reaching the Florida coast. but the
correspondent at Tallahassee writes:
There has been a great falling off
in bootlegging and the distilling of
liquor in the last year because of the
vigilance of the officials. The fact
that Florida has more than 1900 miles
of sea coast makes it exceedingly diff
flcult to prevent the importation Of
whisky"
The different areas dealt with in
this article, together with New York
and the parts of New Jersey adjacent
to New York city which are espe
cially wet, are the sections Of TIE
country which make the worst show
ing after two years of prohibition
They are comparable with the area
dealt with yesterday which makes the
best showing. the purpose having been
to present the two extremes.
This is the tenth Of THE NEW YORK
HERALD'S series OF articles on two
years OF prohibition. The last article Of
the series Will be published tomorrow.

He also writes:
superintendent Gilmartin of the
Police Department says that there are
as many if not moro arrests for
drunkenness now than there ever
were before. Sixty per cent. OF the
arrests made in Providence for intoxi-
cation were of men who were attempt-

the influence of liquor"
The Southern States are mainly wet,

ports, being almost wholly of de-
gree. Georgia was dealt with in the

ana the quality of the bootleg liquor
is deteriorating. but anybody who
wants liquor seems to be able to OBJ
tain it. if they are satisfied with the
quality"
rhe wetness in New England seems
to radiate from Rhode Island, which is
admittedly very wet, down through
Connecticut and up through parts of
Massachusetts. Vermont and New
Hampshire are practically dry. and so
is Maine. in which State prohibition is
no new thing. However, the Maine
correspondent does say:
"Maine being on the Canadian bor-
der line, it is n little easier than 1t
otherwise would be to procure liquor.
But the cost when the liquor reaches
the center of the State, for instance. is
so high that many are prevented from
buying it,
The report shows. however, that
conditions generally have improved in
Maine since the beginning Of State
wide enforcement in January, 1917.
In New Hampshire the situation is
about the same as in Maine. the cor
respondent summarizing conditions
thus: Prohibition has reduced drunk
enness 80 per cent; all prison COM
n1itnents have fallen off materially;
savings bank deposits have increased
s1s 100000, with $4,000 new depositors.
Three States still Wet.
Massachusetts,, Rhode Island and
Connecticut, therefore. remain to be
regarded as more or less wet territory.
The Federal agents in Connecticut
made nearly twice as many arrests In
tho last fiscal year in Connecticut as
were made in Rhode Island, and in
Massachusetts they made more than
twice as many arrests as in Cornecti-
cut The reports to THE New York.
HERALD seem to show, however, that
the actual wetness is in inverse ratio
to the number of arrests by Federal
agents.
Massachusetts, has no State law. and
the counsel for the Anti Saloon
League in Boston, Boyd p. Doty, says
he believes liquor may be obtained in
limited quantities and easily. but that
the consumption has fallen off inn
nensely He is not satisfied with
conditions, but believes they are i'm
proving. and adds:
"The failure of the State laws to
harmonic with the Federal code is
hampering the work OF enforcement"
Crime Conditions Improve.
AS far as crime goes, the records In
Massachusetts show a marked i'm
provement Of conditions. The corre-
spordent in Boston writes, however:
I'm 1921 there were 30,1S7 arrests for
drunkenness. which is an increase
over the record for 1920. But there
were fewer such arrests in 1920 and
1921 together than there were in
1917
II is Rhode Island which is the wet
spot of New England. this being due,
as has been noted previously, to fail
ure of the State Legislature to enact
an enforcement law that would bring
into play the local police forces.
'"rhe wets,' says the correspondent
in Providence, "are actively pushing
the liquor business. They are kept
busy supplying every corner of the
State with plenty of Booze proceed
ing with absolute assurance that they
will be able to escape arrest. Every
one knows that 1t is easy to get and
drink liquor without much effort.
Near beer saloons do thriving busi-
ness and hundreds of stills are said to
exist. The liquor saloon has been
abolished in Rhode Island. but prohi-
btion enforcement is a joke"
The New York herald., 1922-01-17

arrests for violation of the prohi
bition law for nine months of 1921
were 1.740, as compared with 1892 for
the entire year of 1920"
Many Dry Law violators.
In Indiana 1t appears that while
there has been very marked de-
crease in the number of arrests for
drunkenness this has been offset by
the number OF arrests for violations of
the dry law. There are now, the cor
respondent says, about six arrests a
day in Indianapolis for such violations.
The correspondent, in addition to say
ing that whisky is easily obtained,
writes:
Most OF the supply of whisky is
brought from Kentucky. AS soon as
The spring and fall permits are granted
to bottle liquor for medicinal pur-
poses tho price goes down and the
runners bring it into the State by
auto. The competition IS what brings
down the price. At present the range
is from S110 to $120 a case, and this
is for good four and five year old
bonded whisky. When sold by the
single bottle the price range is from
$12 to S14.
"a sincere effort has been made to
break up the bootlegging by both mu-
nicipal and Federal officials in all
parts of the State, but the opinion
prevails here that as long as the liquor
is in the Government warehouses and
as long as 1t is manufactured in Can
ada the practice Of bootleggins will
continue"
No Bonded Goods I'm Ohio.
AS has been pointed out earlier in
this series of articles. the situation in
Ohio has to be considered with the
fact In view that not until last March
did the State have an enforcement act.
Unsupported stories of tremendous
Illicit traffic in Ohio are plentiful The
correspondent, however, writes:
Two years of prohibition enforce
ment In Ohio has driven bonded
whisky off tho bootleg market. This
has come, however, only within the
recent months. Moonshine and vari-
Gus compounds with alcohol as the
hase are about the best obtainable
