DRY ENFORCING REQUIRES :
BRAINS. SAYS U. S. LAWYER
Liquor Violations Call for Study,
DecAs Williams
Chicago Evening Post, Oct. Il, 1925

(Chicago Evening Post Oct. q, 1925
Springfield, ILL.,, Oct. 21.-(AP)-The
brains" responsible for prohibition vio-
lation must be matched with equally
clever brains in the heads of prohibition
officers before prohibition can be made eff
fective, United States Attorney Thomas
Williamson said here.
The conditions he said, in any COM
munity where there is fragrant violation
of the dry laws, are due to few design
ing minds; enforcement likewise must
come through designing minds"
ain other words" Mr.. Williamson said,
"the problem in any community must be
thoroughly studied. At one time the key
to the whole bootlegging problem in
Springfield lay in a conviction of one
man. The others were under him; he
was the brains of the bootleg ring. This
is true of every community.
"As long as the prohibition agents rush
in, raiding blindly here and there, making
no effort to inteligently survey and ana
lyze the underlying conditions of their
territory, there will be little progress
made in enforcement. Prohibition en-
forcement must be along business lines.
"The attitude of the local officials must
be ascertained by federal officials. A CO.
operative spirit should be developed. By
cooperation is not meant an intermin-
Cling of prosecution, but, rather, an in
telligent separation. so that local enforce
ment officers and government enforce
ment officers will prosecute their own re-
spective cases independently. Such CO.
operation will secure enforcement of both
local and national laws

benefits accruing from the application of
the Eighteenth Amendment and have gen
orally, gladly adapted themselves to the
situation.
Naturally the larger cities like Chi
cago present the worst example of en-
forcement this due to the fact of the
many different races of people which go
TO make up large city and their peculiar
habits. However, conditions have inn
proved greatly in Chicago and Cook
county.
with only a few men in this depart
ment, nineteen hundred arrests were made
during the past year in the entire state;
fourteen hundred places of violation closed
by injunction; twenty breweries were
closed; over fifty carloads of beer. whisky
and wine were seized along with in
Vulnerable dstilleries of various capaci-
ties. The two big problems of enforce
ment, the diversion of alcohol and the
breweries, are we'll under control and
rapid progress should be made in the fu-
ture. c. w. Vursell."

GOOD WORK IN LASALLE

In a letter to the editor of the Peoria
Star James II. Danskin, field attorney for
the Anti-Saloon League of Illinois, gave
the following interesting report on the
prohibition enforcement activities of the
states attorney, Russell Hanson, in La
Sale county:
Two years ago the LaSalle county
board gave the states attorney $1,000 for
expenses, but with the stern warning that
if he used dollar of this sum to enforce
the prohibition law he could not have
penny for any purpose.
Last year states attorney was elected
in LaSalle county who got busy the mo-
ment he took the oath of Office In three
months time, on his own resources, he
had SO bootleggers arrested, Is joints
shut up as nuisances, and had collected
$4,000 in cash fines.
He appealed to the board to allow
him to expend that money-not the tax
payers money-in getting evidence in
other cases. The board was ashamed to
refuse him. Last June the board gave
him $4,000 more when he was able to
show that he had collected $4,000 in
fines, had 100 bootleggers arrested and
90 joints under injunction. In September
last he was going strong, with the sheriff
now wheeling into line. This very month
the sheriff secured the closing of IS joints"

POLICE CLAIM SLEFPERS
ARE FEW THIS FAIL
Inability to Buy Cheap Liquor
Easily Causes Transients to
Avoid Rock Island
Crock Island Argus Union)

Fewer transients have applied at Rock
Island police headquarters for sleeping
accommodations this fall than in recent
years, according to police officials. Sell
dom do more than half dozen 'sleepers"
occupy the city halls bull pen nightly.
Conditions which make liquor hard to
buy at cheap rates are said By police to
be responsible for Rock Island being un-
attractive for wanderers.
"These transients do not come to Rock
Island" an officer explained, because
they have heard there is a scarcity of
liquor here. They reason why should
they come to this city and spend couple
OF 'boozeless' nights, when they have the
privilege of stopping in other cities on
their journeys to the south or west and
at the same time have a chance of spend
ing their mooch money for liquor"
Captain Charles Bleuer and other Of
fcials of the police department recall that
in the old days the transients would some
times be given overcoats and other wear
ing apparel by benevolent men and wo-
men in Rock Island. Hardly would they
get out of the police station with these
coats, when they would direct their steps
to a nearby saloon" Captain Bleuer said.
"In short time they would come out, but
minus their coats. The transformation
could easily be explained: they gave their
coats for liquor"

CHICAGO COUNCIL COMMITTEE
ANNOYED BY POLICE WORK
AGAINST BOOZE

The judiciary committee of the Chicago
city council, by vote of nine to two,
passed a resolution directing that the
city police be withdrawn from prohibi-
ton enforcement work.
Commenting on this action by the
council, Chief of Police Collins declared
"the council has no right to instruct the
police what laws are to be enforced and
what law violations are to be ignored.
l shall continue 10 assign my men on
liquor cases.
The Chicago Daily News, commenting
on the action of the council committee,
stated editorially, even if the entire coun-
Gil should pass the resolution approved
by the judiciary committee, "that Mayor
Dever will be under no legal or moral
obligation to obey. He has sworn to en-
force the laws of the state and the nation.
He can make no exception of the prohi-
bition laws. Moreover, the withdrawal of
the police officers assigned to watch
breweries and similar establishments
would be followed by an increase in beer
running and liquor smuggling, and in
evitably, by bitter feuds of rival gangs
and an increased murder rate among
them"

A DRY ORDINANCE IN A
WET TOWN

The city council at Belleville has passed
prohibition enforcement ordinance. Belle
vile is declared to be one of the wettest
cities in the state from the standpoint of
anti-prohbition sentiment. Some say the
ordinance was passed to provide funds
for the city from fines, others say that
liquor 1awlessness was becoming so in
tolerable that even a wet city council
was forced to take some action.
The Belleville News Democrat declares
that the ordinance will be used as
method of licensing favored liquor deal
ers who will plead guilty and pay fines
at intervals.

A LONG TRIP FOR A DRINK

DR.. Hudson Maxim recently sailed from
New York for a trip abroad. One of the
chief reasons for the trip he said was to
get some ale and stout.
DIR. Maxim who is a prominent anti
prohibitionist, thinks the dry law is
failure in this country. But apparently
it makes some travel a long way to Sc
cure the intoxicants they desire.

Federal Judge Davis, St. Louis, listened
to plea by pastor for two of his Ital-
ian Pensioners each sentenced to Leav-
enworth for violation of prohibition laws.
Replying to the priest, the court de-
c1ared, 1--WE have good deal of trouble
with your people and you ought to go

laws of this country or leave it. If they
come to this country they should come

they cannot obey our laws they should re-

In Cook county seventy-tlve roadhouses

provision of the law for the regulation of
public dance halls or roadhouses passed
by the last Legislature. Representatives
of number of reform organizations pro-
tested against the granting of licenses to
various roadhouses, declaring that they
were violators of laws against gambling,
vice and liquor. These protests were dis

surances OF cooperation. The pulpits are
opening more freely to the representative
of our League Tor the presentation of
this cause that we may secure the hnan-
cial and personal cooperation of Gods
people in this fight to make regnant the
prohibition laws of our state and nation.
We appeal TO all the clergymen and the
churches to give our League service at
least once a year.
The Primary Fight
In this semi-annual meeting of our
Board called over a month earlier than
usual it is impossible to state in detail
the legislative program we will bring to
the voters of this state in the spring pri-
mary. However, il was never more i'm
perative that our League lay its plans
with exceeding care for the nomination of
worthy men and women. The primary
fight in Illinois in vast majority of in
stances settles the question and is the real
election. We, therefore, urge the super
intendent and the Executive Committee to
use even greater vigilance and to prose-
cute with renewed energy our fight for
an overwhelming dry legislature in the
coming elections. The vets are deter
mined to repeal our State Prohibition
Enforcement Act and carry the fight
from Illinois to Congress in an effort to
amend the Volstead act and ultimately to
modify or repeal the Eighteenth Amend
ment The responsibility on Illinois was
never heavier than now to hold our lines
and administer our forces for the protec-
ton of prohibition in Illinois and the ma
ton.
This Board expresses the hope that DR..
Mcbride in the midst of his heavy duties
as General Superintendent may find it
possible to give us considerable time in
the spring in helping our superintendent
organize our primary fight.
We shall be most happy and more as
sured of victory if our own Major F. B.
Gilbert could return for few weeks at
this time. We, therefore, give him
hearty invitation to so collaborate with
our new superintendent
This Board is not unmindful of the
quiet, steady, loyal service of the field
and Office force Of our state League. 1t
would be a JOY to us to know each of
them personally and to know more init
mately the duties of this large family of
ours. To each ard every one of them the
Board extends its hearty greetings.

ion that it would be better to grant all
the licenses asked for and then revoke
them if violations of the law are shown.
Anton J. Cermak, president of the
board, declared that an effort will be
made to clean out gambling and other
lawlessness, but that it is the business of
the government if the roadhouses sell
liquor.
