Thinks Public Has Learned
Deadliness of Liquor
Bootleggers Sell.
SEES CRISIS PASSING

SMUGGLING HARDER NOW

The United States is dryer than in
any previous holiday season since en-
actment OF the Volstead law. l.. c.
Yellowley, acting Federal Prohibition
Director. said yesterday.
Several deaths are attributed to
poison whisky" said Mr.. Yellowley.
ut is unfortunate that death has
come as the reward for folly. but the
people have been repeatedly warned
that they are taking their lives in
their hands when they drink the
liquor that is being sold by New York
bootleggers. / regret that the public
is forced to draw its lesson from the
sorrow of others.
However, I feel that the crisis in
enforcement of the prohibition laws is
passing. A great majority of the citi-
zens here and in every other city are
becoming disgusted with the bootleg
ging industry and are beginning to
realize that the Volstead act is law
regardless of whether they favor 1t.
A majority of the people are abstain
ing from the use Of bootleg whisky
because they believe in law enforce
ment and because they know those
who violate the law by manufacturing
and selling liquor have no regard for
he health of the buyers.
Very little liquor is being smuggled
into New York now, because the boot
leg syndicates are finding it difficult to
dispose of their stocks. Newspaper
stories have told the public the truth
about what they are drinking and the
wild clamor or something that is for
bidden is ceasing to be fad. The pub
lie is becoming less gullible as the
Volstead law gets older.
THE attitude America Is coming to
Is this: Bootleggers have no quaims
about disregarding the laws of this
country; neither have they any qualms
about whether the citizens live after
they have paid for poison whisky, which
kills gradually If not within a Few
hours"
There will be no letup in the rigor
with which dry agents will continue
their campaign against the sale OF
LIQUOR in cafes. cabarets SALOONS and
hotels, Mr.. Yellowley said. Federal op-
eratives. he declared. will make the
rounds of many popular White Light
district resorts throughout the week IN
search of evidence. Special efforts will
be made to keep New Year festivities as
free from alcoholic influences as were
the Christmas celebrations. Mr.. Yellow-
ley asserted.
