ASSOCIATED PRESS
REPLIES TO SMITH
Did Not Break Faith in Release of
News of Signing Dry Enforce
ment Repeal
BY the Associated Press.


NEW YORK. June Gov. Smith
at Albany today issued statement
accusing the Associated Press Of hav-
ing violated his confidence in an
nouncing at 6:10 o'clock last night
that he had signed the Mulla1-Gage
repeal bill. The governor had in
tended that morning papers should
first have this news, which. because
of the difference in time, was re-
ceived by some afternoon papers m
time for publication. When the state
ment was shown to the general man
ager OF the Associated Press. he said
that he regretted the governor had
been disappointed. but that there had
been no breach of faith, since no
pledge had been given.
In his statement the governor said:
According to the practice in the
executive chamber, my action and the
memorandum accompanying 1t on the
signature of the repeal Of the Mullan-
Gage law was given to all of the
newspaper correspondents in the ex-
ecutive chamber at 6 o'clock Friday
evening, June l.
"The memorandum carried q cap
tion that the news was for release
for morning papers of June 2.
further had an understanding with
the correspondents that my action on
the bin was also for release on Sat
urday morning All of the corrc-
spondents and news distributing

COLUMBUS. Ohio, June 2.-State At

a telegram to Federal Prohibition
Commissioner Roy A. Haynes at
Washington declaring that he was
confident that state, county and mu-
nicipal officers could enforce prohi-
bition in Ohio and that If federal en-
forcement officers now in the state
were needed in New York they might
be removed from Ohio. ohio is stin

in speaking of the repeating by the
legislature of the New York state
enforcement act.
The attorney general said that he
was appealing to the state and local
officials to be even more watchful
than ever in the enforcement OF the
liquor laws.
The telegram to Commissioner
Haynes follows:

Wheeler Hits smith.
Wayne Il. Wheeler OF the Anti-Sa-
loon League is eloquent in his attack
upon the New York repeal and Gov.
Smiths attitude, as follows:
Gov. Smiths loyalty and fealty are
proven by his memorandum on ap-
proval Of the repeater He has paid
in full his debt to the liquor crowd.
who supported him; he has shown
that his ancient loyalty to the liquor
interests is undiminished. AS one
having authority, he speaks of the
hypocrisy which has marked discus
sion of the prohibition question, and
reveals himself a master of that art.
Asserting that the Eighteenth
amendment is the law of the land,
and no one suggests. least Of all my
self or the Legislature of this state.
that 1t should be violated he then
makes practically impossible the pun
ishment of violators,
"Bastng his objections to the Null
Ian Gage law on its parallel to the
Volstead act. he urges the right of
the state to determine by laws what
shall constitute intoxicating liquor.
That the Supreme Court has ruled
that no state can make legal what
the federal statute forbids or vice
versa Is barred from the argument
entirely.
Raps Duplicity.
It's repeal will not make legal a
single act which was illegal under
the period of the existence of, the
statute is well said by the governor.
All that the repeal will do will be to
make such acts safe. 50 far as IL is
in the power of Gov. Alfred Smith.
The governor says: There will still
rest upon the peace officers of the
state the sacred responsibility OF en-
forcing the Eolstead act" This re-
sponsibility, however. will be without
power and authority, and qualified
by hypocritlcal denunciations by the
states chief executive.
Il shall expect the discharge of
that duty in the fullest measure by
every officer of the state" says the
governor, and then by one stroke Of
the pen he destroys the legal ma
chinery for accomplishing this. In
other words, he asks that bricks be
made without straw.
I'm place OF double jeopardy, Coy!
Smith has removed so far as he was
able, all jeopardy for the rum crIm-
inal and substituted multiple jeopardy
for every agency that makes for
decency. prosperity or law and order.
No liquor outlaw shall be placed In
double peril of the aforesaid law. but
the health, safety and happiness OF
men, women and children, the sta
bility of government, the virtue Of
women, the peace of our communities
and reverence for law will be in per-
petual danger"

MANILA, June 2.-Akbara, the Moro
fanatic leader. who fell in the Pata
battle. in which So religious fanatics
were killed, was regarded as a man Of
more than ordinary intelligence. He for
meriy had been a trader in Sulu and
Visayan. When business slumped he re-
turned to his native Island of Pata.
Recently he foisted himself on the
people Of the district, who are princi-
pally Mohammedans. as a prophet with

On May 1s Akbara gave orders to
wipe out Angeles and his detach-
ment. Four hundred fanatics left
their stronghold to attack the two
score soldiers. The Moros worked
themselves up to battle pitch by
numbering several friendly natives
and burning their homes. Then they
attacked the troopers from four
sides behind screens OF women and
children.
AS the first Moro column charged

constabulary were entrenched, the

Angeles ordered his men to shoot to

The volleys rang out and thirty
fanatics lay dead or wounded before
the remainder discovered that AK
bara's bullet-proofing charm had
failed to work. Then they fed.
After this brief engagement an Off
cfal proclamation was issued giving
the Moros until May 2S to surrender
and undertake to become law abiding
citizens. Excluded from this offer
were nine OF the fanatics leaders, in
cluding Akbara and those who took
part in the murder of friendly natives
prior to the battle.
The Moros. however. failed to take
advantage of the offer and Akbara
continued to gather strength until
the engagement reported today from
Pata, in which he and fifty-two of his
followers were killed.

Press Dipided in Approval
Of Smiths Dry Law Repeal
admits Legal Right to Deny State Aid in
Enforcement, But Generally Regrets
Governors Policy.

Smith signed the prohibition repeal
bill, exactly as his wet following ex-
pected. His letter OF explanation,
manifestedly an effort to propitiate
the drys. need not have been written.
The simple fact is that the governor
approves the wet Culliver act be-
cause he Is himself wet and Is backed
by a wet majority in the state. IL
would have been an odd reversal OF
political logic had he vetoed IT.
IN our opinion, New York is clearly
privileged TO take the action II has
thus chosen to take. Nevertheless.
advocates Of prohibition everywhere g
will regret the action of the New
York legislature and its approval by
the governor.
Providence journal: Gov. Smith OF
New York has approved the repeal
OF the Mullen-Gage prohibition en-
forcement law. and in SO doing has
ranged himself definitely on the side
OF the vets. His long and elaborate
argument in signing the repeal bill
disclaims any desire to see a return
of the saloon, which he declares is
permanently defunct, and he insists
that state police officers still have
duty to perform in helping to en-
force the Volstead act. but the prac-
tical result of his action. is. Of course.
to put a heavier burden on the fed
eral authorities and to invite a new
regime Of bootlegging lawlessness.

Editorial comment from representa-
tive newspapers on Gov. Smith s
signing of the dry enforcement law
repeater is as follows:
The Boston Herald-The Governor
OF New York had TO deal with about
as ugly a dilemma as has confront
ed a state executive in many years.
He took almost the full period al
lowed for his consideration. held a
long and stormy hearing, and now
signs the bill. What will be the ef-
feet of his action upon the COVER
nor's own future? Surely it dimin-
democratic nomination for the presi-
dency next year.
He defe-s to Tammany. He makes
himself solid with Broadway and
the boys" But next year he will
have to deal with a south that long
has been just as solid for prohibition
as for democracy.
The Kansas City star-New York
enforcement law IL II wants to. but
the eighteenth amendment will still
be the supreme law Of New York.
The federal judges will be bound
thereby and the federal government
will enforce them.
Call Action Anarchy.
Nevertheless. the state Legislature
and Gov. Smith have done an anar-
chistic thing. The moral effect Of
their action must be to encourage
lawbreaking.
The arguments used by the vets
at the hearing before the governor
Indicate a remarkable lack of COM
prehension OF the nature OF the
American Constitution. Something
view of their zeal and their excite
ment, but we should have expected
that on an occasion so public Amer
leans assuming to speak in terms
Of law and policy would have hesi-
tated to exhibit ignorance so stu
pendous.
Indianapolis NewsThere can. of
course, be no question Of the right
Of the state to do what 1t has done.
It Is a great mistake, and here Gov.
Smith Is right. to hold that the fed
eral government. or the people OF
the country generally can act in such
a way as to compel a state to pass
certain legislation.
The talk about qualification" and
secession" Is nonsense. The only
wonder Is that the governor delayed
so long In doing what. 1t Is evident
from his vehemence he intended to
do from the first.
SCOTS at Statement.
Philadelphia Public Ledger-If half
the things Gov. Smith says In his
elaborate explanation Of his approval
Of the repeal of the New York state
prohibition enforcement legislation
were true, the whole performance of
the last month would prove to have
been little more than a gesture of
disapproval OF the severity Of the
restrictions imposed by the federal
law and a demonstration of the de-
sire of the assembly and of the
majority OF the people Of New York
to have those restrictions relaxed.
And II this be admitted to be the true
situation, which most of US will deny,
all Of the agitated storm that has
ragged around the head of the gov
ernor has been wholly unnecessary.
Meanwhile, II would be profoundly
unfortunate were other states to fol-
low New York's example in ignoring
the moral obligation which rests
upon them to offer a vast deal more
than a passive acceptance to federal
laws.
