PROGRESSES
New Jersey Director Reports
Conditions Good in His
State Since Dec. ID
BY GEORGE I'll. MANNING
(Washington Correspondent of the
Perth Amboy Evening News)

Pertn AmDOy Evening NeWS)
WASHINGTON, Mar. 27-A glow
ing account of progress in enforcing
the Volstead law in New Jersey was
made today by William D. Moss, act
ing federal prohibition director for
the state, in a personal report to
Prohibition Commissioner Haynes on
what has occurred since he took
charge on December IA.
Director Moss asserts there has
been noticeable increase in the as
sistance given enforcement officials
by the police powers of the state. He
calls special attention to very favor
able decisions and severe sentences
given by Judges Runyon and Parker
in cases involving violations or the
Volstead act.
Conditions have improved to such
an extent that it has been quite a
factor in increasing the morale Of all
agencies engaged in furthering the
cause of prohibition" said Acting
Director Moss in his report. 'It is
especially encouraging to note that
the press is more and more inclined
to enforcement. Indeed, there has
not appeared, to my knowledge, any
article unfriendly to our work.
Particular attention is being paid
to rendering all possible assistance
to the police powers of the state, and
unquestionably there is a closer
spirit of cooperation in this respect
than heretofore
Acting Director Moss called special
attention to the fact that the first
Injunction case under Section %,
Title II, of the national prohibition
act, to be reached for trial in New
Jersey was successful, and that
Judge William N. Runyon rendered
a decision closing the place Of An
thony Capawana, SO South Day
street, Orange, N. j., for one year,
Judge Runyon, he says, sentenced
three violators, who plead guilty, to
jail for three months each, stating
that it appeared useless to merely
assess fines in such cases.
At Morristown, n. J., adds Director
Moss, Justice Parker sentenced a
druggist to serve six to ten years at
hard labor in the state penitentiary
at Trenton, upon conviction of man
slaughter, for selling wood alcohol
to three men who later died from
drinking it.
These sentences are virtually the
| first of any Importance to be dealt
out to bootleggers in New Jersey,
and this improved condition of the
courts is truly encouragin says
Director Moss.
'The feeling of cooperation be-
tween the New Jersey directors
office and the Office of the United
States district attorney has been aug
mented notably as a result of a new
| system of reporting cases. The new
method of operation has met with
| the hearty approval of the district
attorney and good results are expect
| ed when the cases come to trial. The
| New Jersey state courts apparently
are not burdened at this time with
| prohihition ca Ses"
