TARIFF ACT USED
TO BACK DRY LAW
Has ''Teeth." Mrs. Willie
brandt Says, Reporting
Smuggling Convictions.

The Department of Justice from
now on will employ the tariff act of
1922 as much as possible against
whisky smuggiers, because it has
more teeth" than the national pro-
hibition act.
instructions to this effect have been
forwarded by Attorney General Stone
to United States attorneys at coast
and border points. His instructions
follow a report by Mrs. Mabel Walker
Willebrandt Assistant Attorney Cen
eral, who said two prosecutions had
recently been effected under the
tariff act. but that the prohibition act
lad mo teeth in it" for smugglers.
The two prosecutions, Mrs. Willie
brandt states. have just resulted in
victory for the Government in the
southern district of Texas, United
States vs. John L. Nounes, arising out
of the seizure of the ship Cherokee,
and United States VS.. Ben S. Granger.
Sentences in these cases ranged
around IS months in the peni-
tentiary and fines of $1,000. All of
the defendants, Mrs. Willebrandt
states, "are, prominent and defiant
smugglers, and in my opinion results
in the cases illustrate the advisabi bility
of spreading the use of section 593 of
the tariff act as a deterrent against
clandestine landing of liquors"
