DECLARES BORDER DRY LAWS A JOK
Found Dry Agent

WASHINGTON, March IL
Federal agents were ordered not to
pay any attention to eases Involv-
ing liquor law violations along the
Mexican border, p. G. Baldwin, II
Texas ranger, former department of
justice agent, told the senate COM
mittee investigating Attorney Gen
eral Daugherty today.
Baldwin, who said his transfer
q, from the border was ordered be-
cause he was "too active in stop

can border is such a joke that he

the matter, no indictments have
ever been returned. lie said Daug-
her.y's brother-in-law n U. s.
marshal, was consulted in this mat
ter by the federal district attorney.
Baldwin s testimony followed 4
long and rather fruitless attempt by
the committee to get F. c. Quinby,
New York moving picture man to
say that Jesse Smith, Daughcrty IS
intimate, had obtained "protec-
tom at Washington for persons in
terested in transporting and show

Orr, Ike Martin, Tex Rickard and
himself had an agreement whereby
films were to be made. and shown
under an arrangement which Quin-
bv testified Muma outlined to him.
Despite repeated efforts the com
mi.tee was unble to get Quinby to
say he had been told that Jesse
Smith had arranged the matter in
Washington.
Paul Iawland, Daughcrty coun-
sci, brought out that the plan agreed
on did not prevent Quinby being ar
rested and fined, though Quinby
also stated that after he paid his
fine he went on showing the pictures
and made $4,000 in New York on
them.
In other cities the same procc-
dure was followed, Quinby said.
He said he had exhibited the pic
