ELIMINATION
OF BOOTLECCER
ESERVICE aim
Six New Men on List of
Executives Appointed
By Andrews in Plan
To Dry Up Nation
(By the Associated Press)

WASHINGTON, d. c., Aug.
21.-Prohibition's new staff of
"a federal administrators, who
will be given complete authority
in as many districts over en-
forcement of the law Septem-
ber, was named today at the
treasury.
The position Of chief of gen.
eral mobile agents was abolished
with the appointment of E. C.
Yellowley, who held that post,
to head of twenty-first admins
trative district at San Francisco.
In a statement announcing the ap-
pointments, Assistant Secretary An
drews said the new prohibition forces
woud be concentrated upon the task Of
eliminating the bootleg industry
Their energies, he said, would be d.
rected along three definite lines Of at
tack, smuggling, illegal manufacture
and illegal diversion.
Sources of supply to be reached and
wiped out as rapidly as possible are
importation, manufacture, diversion and
transportation, said General Andrews
THE various agencies Of the govern
ment are being organized to make it
possible to accomplish this end
THE market is our most difficult
problems, because Of its indifference to
consequences, ignorance and colossal
gullibility. The market will pay any
price and swallow any bottleggers fairy
tale as to quality. But one by one in
telligent citizens will realize the danger
to government and society which they
are creating by enriching this bootleg
class Of community members and feed
ing business which exists only through
corrupting the very agents Of govern
ment and business, whose honesty is
essential to the stability of society. One
by one they will learn that their inn
ported whlskeys, etc, are being made
in Canal street from industrial alcohol
and thus refrain from buying them.
The bootleg industry, in one form or
another extends over the whole country
but it operates mostly in centers of pop
ulation. Its business is collecting sup
plies and distributing them and its op-
erations vary in size from the small
operator, who sells locally the product
of local stills up to the big operators
whose lines extend into foreign sources
of supply and into broad fields of dis
tribution. None of these operations
that are big enough to be more than
matters for local police control can be
carried except through conspiracies
to violate the law. These conspiracies

banks, remaining there for several days
in Brownsville.

more than IA feet on the guage at the
international bridge here, it was re-
ported.
The present flood waters came down
the main channel Of the Rio Grande,
from the recent flood at Ell Paso. The
high water did no damage in Browns
Vile.
