SAYS NO DRY.
LAWS NEEDED
Federal Act Can Be Enforced,
Declares Gov. Smith

Albany, N. Y, Jan. 7.-Governor
Smith told the new legislature in his
first message today that the Volstead
act must be enforced but that no
state legislation was necessary in
this respect.
The legislative program of the Re-
publicans. who control both branches
of the Legislature, includes a state
prohibition enforcement act to sup
plant the. Mullen Gage law which was
repealed with the approval Of Gov.
Smith in previous administration
"Any sensible man or woman can
readily realize that we have law but
what is lacking is enforcement, :"
said Gov. Smith. "The whole ques-
tion of enforcement of the federal act
sustaining the 18th amendment is
imbedded in insincerity and hypo-
crisy. We are suffering from Tow
many statesmen who talk dry and act
vet"

Calls 1t All Lies

Chicago, Jan. 1.-THE investigation

body, today was extended into an in
quiry into the death of DR.. Oscar o.
son, his physician, three years ago

Judge Olson, who instigated the

brother, who was visited, he said, a
short time before his death by Will
liam Shepherd, foster father of Nc
Clintock, and principal heir to his
81 100000 fortune.
In his new story to the coroner's

The inquest was continued at Judge
Olson's request until January 20.
Mr. Shepherd called Judge Olson's

H. Stoll, his law partner here, said
Judge Olson was attempting "to as
sassinate the character of man
against whom he has had a grudge
for 20 years."
