WILL ENFORCE THE
PROMISE GIVEN BY
The STATE DIRECTOR
Major Owen Calls on All Citizens to
Help Uphold Prohibition

Major Percy Owen, federal prohibit
ton director for the state OF Illinois,
announced today that it is his intent
and purpose to enforce the national
prohibition act, and all the acts sup
Elemental thereto, strictly and impair
TALLY.
He stated that he we'll realized that
the means at his disposal were limited,
but, he said, with the faithful coopera-
ton and assistance of all county and
municipal officials, who have concur
rent power in prohibition enforcement
by virtue of Section OF the Eight
eenth Amendment, which brings into
the service approximately l44l2 Off
GERS throughout the state of Illinois,
and in view of the fact that the fed
eral prohibition department on its own
initiative and with its own resources
have made 1,448 arrests SO far this
year, wherein some violation of the
prohibition law was involved, there
remains no question of doubt as to
his ability to bring about a whole

JUDGE GIVES FOURTEEN
YEAR TERMS TO
CHRONIC B0OTLECCERS
Chicago American)

Danviile, Ill, Nov 22.-Just as he
said he would at the last term of court,
when number of bootleggers stood
before him and he warned against a
second olfense, Judge Augustus A.
Partlow of the Circuit Court has sem
fenced Sid Warren, prominent grocer,
to a term in prison at Chester on a
charge of selling booze.
His patrons are said to have been
old soldiers from the home and shop
men from the Chicago & Eastern Hi
nois Railway, and these men testified
against Warren.
Warren is the fourth person from
this city to be sent to the state prison
on a charge of selling booze. At the
former trials held in August, when
these men, were found guilty, Judge
Partlow assessed a fine of $3.50 each
and warned. them that the next offense
on the same charge would mean term
in prison.
The sentences are intermediate and
may be for as little as two years or
for fourteen.

FEDERAL PERMITS PROVIDE
FOR LOCAL INSPECTION BY
ANY Dry LAW OFFICER
Part of Plan for Cooperation Between
Federal and Local Officials

Chicago, ILL.,, Nov Is, 1923.-Prohi-
bition Director Owen announced to-
day that he is in receipt of instruc-
tions from Prohibition Commissioner
Haynes that effective Immediately
there will be inserted in all permits
OF all-elassihaa1ie ieas,. ~ 4ssiealatiea--te
the effect that permits be granted upon
the condition, and with the express
under standing that the business,
which it authorizes, shall at all times
be subject to the inspection OF internal
revenue officers or prohibition officers,
or by any sheriff, policeman, marshal,
or other officer in any state, whose
lawful duty it is to assist in the en-
forcement of the national prohibition
act, or any act relating to the liquor
traffic in said state, and any denial
by the permttee to such federal state,
or local officer OF the right to inspec-
ton therein provided for, shall be
deemed grounds for citation for revo-
cation. This makes it entirely clear to
the country, generally, that all state,
county, and municipal officers, whose
duty it is to assist in the enforcement
of the prohibition laws, whether fed
eral or state, will have the full right to
make inspection of the places OF busi-
ness and operations of permittees Of
the various classes who are authorized
to use liquor for medicinal, and other
non beverage purposes. Commis-
sioner Haynes stated that these in
structions are only indicative of the
earnest desire of the federal depart
ment to cooperate, in every possible
way, with the state and local agen-
cies, in the enforcement of the pro-
hibition laws, national and state.

Most Violators Escape With
Small Fines
ONLY Is PER CENT
ARE SENT TO JAIL
TwenB-Eight Per Cent Fined SlOO
Or Less
STATE COURTS MORE LENIENT

Out of 1000 convicted liquor law
breakers in Illinois only "a are SEN
fenced to jail for months or more.
Only 80 out of 1000 pay a fine as
high as a thousand dollars. Less than
Is per cent in each thousand con-
victed law breakers are sentenced to
pay a fine of five hundred dollars or
more. Only Is per cent receive Jail
sentences. Twenty-eight per cent of
those who are convicted of breaking
the prohibition laws are fined 500 or
less in Illinois.
= The above facts are the result OF a
study of 500 cases, made by the
American Issue. The cases were tab
ulated from Illinois newspaper reports
gathered by the Consolidated Press
( Clippings Bureau. In the 500 cases
tabulated fines assessed against liquor
law-breakers amounted to $l1o,037.
Jail sentences, were given in just one
fourth of the cases and the average
jail sentence amounted to 118 days.
The press reports studied indicate
that the most severe sentences are
given by he federal COURTS In very
few cases was the sentence passed on
a conviction for a second offense.s In
Ia number of eass<s according 20 frcss
reports, offenders had been previously
found guilty and yet were not given
the full penalty provided for ON a sec
ond conviction. Although a number OF
severe penalties were given by fed
eral courts, in a great many cases the
only punishment given was fine of
I from one hundred dollars to four hun
dred dollars. The great number of
$l00 fines imposed in the state courts
indicate that in many sections of Hi
nois no serious effort is being made
by the judges to enforce prohibition.
Fines reported from police courts
range from SIS down to S.. In Hi
nois liquor law breakers are sentenced
to only lo.3 per cent of the time in
! Jail that could be given them under
the Illinois prohibition act. Fines as
sessed against liquor law breakers
reach only % per cent of the total
that could be assessed under the state
law.
These facts are based on the as
sumption that the 500 cases studied
represented first offenses only. In
the case of second and subsequent
convictions both Jail sentences and
fines may be double the limit given
for first convictions. Since both
fines and jail sentences may be inn
posed upon violators, it appears that
in Illinois the courts are using a trifle
less than 20 per cent of their power
against liquor law breakers. In other
words, they could strike little more
than 5 times as hard in support OF
prohibition enforcement.

some respect for law enforcement in
Illinois.
Director Owen called upon all good
citizens for their cooperation and as
4 Il his rel Sincere desire and
effort to bring about the absolute
adjustment of the use of Intoxicating
liquor for beverage purposes.
In issuing this statement Director
Owen said he was not unmindful Of
the fact that the law recognizes GER
tain legitimate manufacturing, me-
chanical and scientific uses of ;atoxi-
eating liquor, in recognition of which
the government has authorized the is
suance of permits under which the
various kinds of liquor may be had
for the purposes enumerated. 1T is
my earnest desire to aid and assist
legitimate industry by all proper
means to the end that there may not
be undue delay where proper permits
are sought. | will appreciate having
called to my attention any isolated
cases which appear to involve undue
delay"
Director Owen said it was his pur-
pose to act upon any real evidence OF
violation that is called to the attention
of his Office and that he intended to do
his full duty in all such cases to the
end that justice may prevail. "How-
ever" he said, st must be recognized
that the law makes no provision for
acting upon hearsay evidence and
therefore call upon all citizens who
know of violations being committed to
report them to my office in person, or
by letter bearing their name and ad-
dress, assuring them that information
so furnished will be treated as strictly
confidential"

INTERNATIONAL L LEAD-
ERS WILL SPEAK ON
WASHINGTON CONVEN-
TION PROGRAM

In working out the program
for the national convention of
the Anti-Saloon League in
Washington, the program COM
n1ittee evidently had in mind the
project of worldwide prohibit
ton through the activities of
the World League Against AL
coholisn, for it has placed three
of the presidents of the World
League on the program. These
are: DR.. Robert Hercod, direc-
tor of the international Temper
ance Bureau, Lausanne, Switzer-
land; Miss Anna A. Gordon,
president of the Worlds and
National w. c. T. u; and DR..
Howard H. Russell, founder and
associate general superintendent
of the Anti-Saloon League. In
addition, Governor Pinchot of
Pennsylvania and William Jen-
nings Bryan will speak at the
final session of the convention,
which will be held especially in
celebration of the fourth ami
versary of the going into effect
of the Eighteenth Amendment.
Among the other speakers be-
sides Anti-Saloon League leaders
will be Mrs. Mary Harris Armor
of Georgia, Mrs. Florence D.
Richard of Ohio, c. B. Griffith,
attorney general Of Kansas,
Henry S. Dulaney, Baltimore
business man and prominent
churchman, and others.
The national officers with
whom I have talked regard
the workers conference, Janu-
ary Oil, as the most important
gathering of League men ever
held. There is to be a banquet
on Saturday evening, January
IL, for the League folks and
their friends, which will not only
be fine social occasion, but an
important meeting for the flu
ture of the League and the en-
forcement of prohibition. Sat-
.surday will be- intercollegiate
Prohibition Association day, and
every college student who can
should be present. There will
be great mass meeting Sunday
afternoon, January 13, and
League men will speak in the
pulpits of Washington and vi
cinity.

ment. According to Oscar Hewitt,

une, Brownies statement offended
some of the aldermen.

Gently said that prohibition not only
can be but has been enforced in Chi

making the statements of the wet

A NATIONAL FIGURE

Governor Pinchot of Pennsyl-
vania found himself the target
here Tuesday of the usual bar
rage of questions put to any
man who may head a major
party ticket next year, all of
which he declined to answer, as
is the custom with potential
presidential nominees,
He lost his taciturnity, how
ever, when discussing Mayor
Dever. He was unstinted in his
admiration of the courageous
and self respecting course"
which the city's chief executive
has adopted with reference to
the liquor laws. The mayor, he
asserted, "has set an example
well worth following"
The praise is merited, but the
incident is of even greater value
in indicating the widespread at
tention commanded by the Chi
cago law enforcement fight.
Mayor Dever has made himself
national figure by his attitude.
