Haynes Speaks
Speaking before the conference
Thursday Roy A. Haynes, national
prohibition director, declared that
dry law violations will decrease as
soon as public expresses itself more
forcefully.

responsibility in enforcement of the
dry laws will solve the prohibition
question, Haynes said. His speech
bristled with figures used to prove
the efficiency Of the prohibition de-
partment.
Praising the new Indiana prohibi-
ton law because It makes the buyer
equally guilty with the seller. Mr..
Haynes says that its enforcement
will make bone-dry prohibition an
actual fact in this State. AS data on
State enforcement activities, Mr..
Haynes says that from July 1 to
Feb. 28, 1924, a total of over $50 900
worth Of property was seized by pro-
