DRY AGENTS NOT TO
CHANGE THEIR RULE
REGARDING EVIDENCE
State Director Says u. S.
Wants All Stills and
Liquor Seized.

Prohibition enforcement offices will
continue to require state rangers to
turn over all the evidence to them be-
fore they will accept a case, accord
ing to Frank Cole, prohibition en-
forcement director for Texas, who was
here Saturday.
When asked whether the. federal
government was going to continue the
policy of compelling state officers te
turn over all the evidence before the
government would accept case, he re.
piled:
In other words, / am asked
whether or not we are going to con-
tinue to see that the rangers obey the
law"
He explained that the federal and
state laws are co-existent and that
both should be respected. The evidence
that the government wants, he said, is
stills and liquor. The government does
not want the mash seized in a raid,
because the mash is itself of no value
in evidence.
Prohibition officials denied the re.
port that they had been ordered by
Postmaster L. G. Lucas to move con
fiscated stills out of the upper story
of the federal building. Mr.. Lucas
also denied that he had given any in
structions to that effect, or that he
had received any complaint that the
weight Of the stills had caused plaster
to fall from the ceiling of any part
of the federal building. -....
Because Of the crowded condition
of the prohibition enforcement vaults
in the basement of the federal build.
ing, it was explained Saturday Mr..
Cole had requested Mr.. Lucas to
fence off space in the basement for
storing confiscated stills. Available
space could not be found. The prohibi-
ton enforcement office was granted
the use of the coal bins until coal for
next year is received.
A number of stills have been stored
for some time in the tower room in
the federal building Immediately above
the elevator shaft. This room does
not extend over any other office.
Mr.. Cole also denied the report that
