New Prohibition enforcement
Machine Acts TO Check
Rum Flow

Agreeing1tp certain extent with
reports on prohibition. made public
by the Federal Council Of Churches
of Christ, Treasury officials de-
clared today that many of the com
plants advanced are being corrected
as rapidly as possible.
Z Acting Secretary of the Treasury
Winston said that both the diver
sion Of industrial alcohol and ths
Illegal manufacture OF alcohoIi,
beer present serious problems bul
that they are being met by the new
prohibition organization.
winston declared that long be
fore the church council condemned
the publicity issued by the prohi
bition unit this form Of so-called
propaganda was abolished. o. harm
full rather than beneficial.
Prohibition publicity, formerly
issued by the office OF, Prohibition
Commissioner r. Al. Haynes, Ii now
Forthcoming from General 4. G.
Andrews, assistant secretary az the
Treasury. The press section'' OF
the Prohibition unit virtually has
been abolished.
The Treasury believes that most
of the objection to prohibition en-,
forcement viii vanish when the new
dry machine begins to function.
Why. Andrews Was Named.
1t was pointed out that President
CoIlidge and Secretary Of the Treas
ury Mellon were not satisfied with
former methods of prohibition en-
forcement and that for this reason,
Andrews. a former officer in the
American expeditionary forces. was
named to reorganize dry methods.
An entirely new backbone for the
dry machine has been selected.
Treasury officials said that prOhtbl'
ton administrators. now are active
ly engaged in building up their dis,
trict organizations
Winston declared that the new
prohibition machine could not BE-
built up in a day and that il
would require time to bring about
Its complete effect.

MISUSE Of
D. c. TAGS
FOUND
EIdkidge Says Marytanders
Who Have District Licenses
Are Wrong

Desire of the Traffic Directors
office to continue its cooperation
with the Maryland automobile
commission was expressed by M.
o. Eldridge today after his return
from the hearings of a large num-
Der of citizens who were arrested
yesterday in Maryland on charges
Of improper tags.
Director Eldridge stated that
there were evidently a large num-
Der of persons who believed that
if they lived just beyond the Dis
trict line and worked in Wash
ington they we're within the law
in using District tags.
Not According to Law
This is not according to law.
however, the director pointed out,
as it has been agreed with the
authorities of the neighborhng
States to have the tags used from
the same State in which the pur-
| chaser slept and in which he. kept
his car.
Modification of this law would
allow an employee of a corporation
using a company machine to purl
chase tags for the place in which
he worked. A letter proving the
ownership of the machine must be
procured.
If a business house runs a line
of automobiles out of the District
of Columbia to some city in Mary
land, 1t would be within the law for
| them to use District tags even
| though the operators of the auto
mobiles slept in Maryland The
| payment of taxes of the firm to
the District of Columbia caused
such an arrangement to be made.
Practice Must Stop
Director Eldrfdge said he was
entirely in sympathy with the
| Maryland authorities and that they
| would have the assistance of his
office in correcting the situation.
He declared that the practice OF
residents of Maryland in giving
fictitious District addresses or the
addresses of relatives must stop.
