paddock SECTION
Of VOLSTEAD LAW
WILL Be INVOKED
Exclusive Birmingham Club
Would Be Closed for year
Under Terms of Injunction
Asked by Dry Officer
Atlanta Journal News Bureau,
40s Evans Building.
BY THEODORE TILLER

WASHINGTON, Dec. 22.-Prohi-
bition agents in Georgia, and other
states, are to receive immediate in
structions from enforcement head
quarters here to prepare to use the
"padlock" during the next year.
Beginning with the New Year
and continuing that policy through
out 1923, Prohibition Commissioner
Roy A. Haynes will make general
use of the paddock section" of the
Volstead law under which hotel
or other structure where liquors
are illegally manufactured, sold.
kept or bartered, may be closed by
injunction.
This section is regarded as the
most drastic of the prohibition
statute. Its utilization heretofore
has been sporadic. 1t was said at
the office of Commissioner Haynes
today that the 1923 enforcement
policy includes it's countrywide APP
plication, beginning with the New
Year.
Under the terms of the paddock
section" any hotel in Atlanta, Balti-
more, New York, Washington or any
other city which permits the illegal
sale or keeping of liquors may be
proceeded against as a common
nuisance. a court may declare the
place a nuisance if it is made to ap-
pear "by affidavits or otherwise"
that the Volstead law has been VIC
lated. The court may issue an in
junction against such further VIC
lations, or it may close up the of
Tending place for a year.
The actual closing up, or paddock
ing of hotels, and other buildings,
is not invoked as a rule except for
second violations.
The Law
The law which Commissioner
HAYNES now intends to invoke to
much greater degree, provides that:
"Any room, house, boat. building,
vehicle, structure or place where in
toxicating liquor is manufactured,
sold, kept or bartered in violation of
this act, and all intoxicating liquor
and property kept and used in main
tanning the same, is hereby declared
to be a common nuisance.
ANY person who maintains such
common nuisance shall be guilty
of q misdemeanor. *If q person
has knowledge or reason to believe
that his room, house, building. boat,
vehicle, structure or place, is used
for the manufacture or sale of liquor
contrary to the provisions of this
act, and suffers the same to be occu-
pied or used, such room,etc.
shall be subject to a lien for and
may be sold to pay all fines and
costs against the person guilty of
such violation"

CONFERENCE WOULD
ALSO SEEK To CUT
WAR ARMAMENTS
Proposal Made as Amend
ment to Naval Appropria-
ton Bill Reported Thurs
day to the Senate

WASHINGTON, Dec. "a con.
f-rence of the world powers to con.
s,der economic questions to be call.
ed by President Harding or discus
sion of possible agreements to es-
tablish more stable financing and "
business conditions and also to bring
a reduction in land and sea arma-
emit was proposed by Senator 30.
rah, Republican, Idaho, in an amend
ment offered Thursday to the pend.
ing naval appropriation bill.
Senator Borah's amendment
would request the president to in
vite such governments as he thought
should participate in the proposed
conference.
In statement accompanying his
amendment the Idaho senator said
such a conference might "break the
deadlock" on German reparations.
Purpose of Farley
1t would consider economic prob
lens now obtaining throughout the
world with view Of arriving at
such understanding or arrange
ments as may seem essential to the
restoration of trade and to the estab.
llshment of a sound financial and
business conditions" and also would
consider the subject of further lin
itation of ornaments with a view
OF reaching an understanding or
agreement upon said matter both by
land and sea, and particularly rela-
tive to limiting the construction of
all types and sizes of sub-surface
and surface craft of 10000 tons
standard displacement or less, and
of aircraft"
Senator Borah's proposal appar.
emily was a substitute for the dis,
armament provision in the bill adopt
ed by thu house which proposed a
conference merely to limit naval YES
sells under 10000 tons.
''No business man or any one else
who has reflected upon the situa-
ton dares to look over the next
year if the next year is to be similar
to the year which is just passing"
said Senator Borah. "It seems to
me that there ought to be an heroic
effort made not only to stop this
threatened naval race, but also to
deal with economic conditions.
"The question of PREPARATIONS Is
the key to the European situation.
If that cannot be adjusted, nothing
can be adjusted. 1t may be possible
in a conference of this kind to break
the deadlock on that subject. If
there is a better program anywhete
around 1 should be glad to waive
this suggestion"
Favorably Reported
The bill with the house provision
requesting the president to call an.
other naval disarmament conference
to limit construction Of vessels under
10000 tons, was reported today to
the senate.
The bill carries cash appropriations
of 295,604,000, an increase Of $1,797,.
900 over the house and authorizes
transfer of$35, 900 additional from
unexpended miscellaneous funds to
the new construction fund, which
was left at $55, 100000 by the senate
appropriations committee without
change from the house authorization.
The bill as reported to the senate ex-
ceeded the budget bureaus requests
by about $45O,OO0.
OF the committee increases $1,000.
900 was added to the 100000 fund
for the new naval reserve corps and
$550,000 additional provided for tor
pedo construction.
