LAX ON DRY LAWS.
States Not Doing Part in Prosecu.
tion, Says Mr.. Daugherty.

The states are not doing all they
ought to do in prosecution of liquor
cases, Attorney General Daugherty
declared yesterday, and will be count
ed upon to further push their part of
the work.
There was a crowding of all court
dockets with liquor cases. the Attor-
ney General said, and the states had
shown a tendency in several instances
to leave it to the federal government
to bear the expense and take the time
for cases which really belonged to
the states. OF course. he added, where
the states failed to accept the re-
sponsibility the Department of JUS
tice would have to take a hand.
while I was in Florida" the At
torney General said. II heard lot
about liquor. but saw none" Snug
Cling had been flourishing there, he
admitted, and the small boats from
wet" islands offshore had been land
ing liquor in all kinds of inlets and
bays. 1T was difficult to stop them.
but forces had been concentrated, and
there would be a stop to the fragrant
violations. he predicted, within a
short time.
