New HRmpshire--No prohibition
Evening star., 1923-08-02

Pcnnsyiyanin-A prohibition en-
forcement act, sponsored by Gov. Gif-
ford Pinchot, was enacted by the 1928
Pennsylvania legislature. 1t repealed
an enforcement law passed by the
1921 legislature. which provided a
system Of licenses for hotels. saloons
and similar places, permitting them
to sell beverages which came within
the legal requirements fixed by Con-
gress. 1t also provided more strin-
gent search and seizure and burden OF
proof sections than the old law.
The 1923 Legislature defeated ad-
mtnistration measures designed to
license and regulate breweries and
to control the manufacture and sale
OF alcohol for commercial, scientifi
and medicinal purposes and refused
to grant s250.000 asked by the gov
ernor for 'Iaw enforcement" under
his personal direction. The $3.50, 900
was carried in the general appropri-
alton bill providing funds for the
ordinary expenses of the state gov
ernment, and was entirely indepen-
dent of the prohibition enforcement
act itself. The manner in which
il was to be used was not disclosed,
other than that it was intended for
prohibition enforcement particularly.

NEW YORK, August 2.-Of eleven
states in the eas,ern part oil the
United States. six took action through
their legislatures last winter toward
more stringent prohibition enforce
ment. Notable among these was
Pennsylvania. In four others no ac-
ton was taken, while in New York
the existing enforcement measure
was repealed. A summary of the sit
uation follows:
Delaware-An effort to amend the
klair prohibition enforcement law a,

islature was defeateds in the closing
hours of the session, when a bill, in
troduced by Representative Joseph NJ
Brogan, democrat, died in committee
The measure was drafted by the Del
aware State Medical Society and in
dorsed by the State Dental Society
1t provided for al modification of the
law to make il possible for druggists
to fill prescriptions of physicians for
medicinal purposes where the use OF
alcoholic stimulants was deemed nee
essary.

natures are obtained before the ninety
days allowed have expired, the effect
will be to hold up the operation of
the act until it has been acted upon
by the people.
