OLMSTEAD CASE is IMPORTANT
Haynes Says Every Aid at His Com
mand Will Be Given in
Prosecution

Prohibition Commissioner Haynes has
announced that every assistance will be
given by the Washington office in COM
pleting the big Olmstead conspiracy case.
The Olmstead ring was international in
scope and the most powerful liquor snug
cling organization in the northwest says
a statement given out at the national pro-
hibition headquarters. The ring had been
until now seemingly impregnable because
it was so strongly entrenched behind GER
tain members of the Seattle police force.
Director Roy c. Lyle of Washington says
that the evidence in the case indicates that
activities of the case had spread into
every quarter where protection was need
ed to facilitate distribution.
Officials in the national prohibition of
fee consider the Olmstead case to be one
of the biggest and most important which
has been made since national prohibition
became effective. Ninety indictments
have been returned, which is believed to
be the largest number ever indicted in
one single liquor case in any court i'll the
which is comparable with it is that of
Gary, Ind, in which IS defendants were
involved. Although score of the defen-
dants in the Olmstead case have fled to
Canada where extradition at present IS
impossible Director Lyle has advised
Commissioners Haynes that more than so
persons have already been arrested and
conviction OF the majority is anticipated
when the case comes to trial, as the evil
dence is complete and the Seattle Office
has record of never having lost case
of this kind. The charges involve con-
spiracy to violate the national prohibition
act and the tariff act of 1922, for which
the maximum penalty as provided in the
United States criminal code is a fine of

ENFORCEMENT IMPROVING
VOLSTEAD SAYS

There is no constant violation of
the prohibition law, generally
known, which goes unpublished.
1t is unfortunate that certain large
newspapers labor to encourage re-
sistance to law enforcement Moth
ing is perhaps better calculated to
effect that purpose than to extol the
alleged high character of those who
are breaking the law.
That prohibition can not be en-
forced; that the difficulties are fun
danenta1 and inherent in the char
acter of the legislation and the ma
ture of the people, is not only
clearly disproved by our experience
in the prohibition states, but by
what we have accomplished under
national prohibition.
Public opinion, reflected in more
drastic and adequate punishments,
is growing stronger and the organ
ization for enforcement is steadily
improving and becoming more ef-
fectiye.

ENCOURAGING LAWLESS-
NESS
(Wichita, Kansas, Beacon)

(Wichita, Kansas, Beaeon)
The strict enforcement of one law
does not encourage the breaking of
other laws. 1t has the opposite eff
feet. 1t builds up respect for all
law. Disregard for one law, when
not rebuked, invariably tends to dis
regard of the other laws. Any
child knows that. 1t is rudimen-
tary fact OF all regulated society.
As a matter OF fact, one OF the
factors in the breaking down of all
law these days is the attitude of a
few great newspapers like The Trib-
ur.e in houting and tacitly encour-
aging contempt for the prohibitory
law.
In an editorial a few weeks ago
The Tribune writer openly admitted
his drinking proclivities and general
disregard for the sentiment of the
present day. If The Tribune wishes
to investigate some of the real
causes of law breaking it might
profit by looking inward

$4,000 and two years IN the peniten-
tiary
Included in the indictments are promi-
nent and wealthy citizens of British Co
1umbia, several leading members of the
Seattle police department and other more
or less well-known citizens and officials.
Director Lyle advises that the indict-
ments have created a sensation in the en-
tire northwest and that liquor is scarcer
than ever before The action of the grand
jury in bringing these indictments marks
the climax-of an investigation of rum
running activities and other liquor law
violations in the northwest extending
over practically the entire period since the
national prohibition law became effective,
and of an intensive investigation during
the last several months.
Other Accusations Made
The records of the prohibition unit dis
close that in March, 1920, Roy Olmstead,,
then lieutenant of the Seattle police de-
partment. Thomas A. Clark, police ser
geant, and ten others were arrested and
charged with conspiracy to defraud the
United States and to violate the national
prohibition act by Transporting liquor
into this country from Canada. They
were convicted, sentenced and fined.
Since that time there has been firm belief
that Olmstead and Clark have been inn
plicated in other violations iii which they
appeared to be the master minds, but
they were never arraigned or convicted
because sufficient evidence was lacking.
According to the statement from Mr..
Haynes office, Olmstead has engaged in
liquor smuggling on large scale, owning
his own speed boats and also being inter
ested in corporation i'll British Columbia
which imports liquor from Scotland to
British Columbia and then distributes it
in ocean-going boats from Seattle to San
Francisco A large mother ship would
stand off Cape Flattery and load to
smaller ships which in turn would load
the speed boats in the Straits or among
the islands of Puget Sound. Olmstead's
large boats also handled liqu6f to Port
land, San Francisco and Los Angeles.
Through this method of operation the
smuggling ring was able to evade the Gus
toms duty of Canada of $50 per case and
also therefore able to la, the whisky
down at Pacific ports at lower price
than its competitors.

PINCHOT URGES new LAW
Would Put Breweries and Other
Alcohol Plants Under State
Permit System

Declaring that Philadelphia is the prir1-
cipal center of the United States for the
manufacture of illegal liquor from dena-
tured alcohol and that Pittsburgh is
center for Illegal beer, Clifford Pinchot,
Governor of Pennsylvania, in a message
to the Legislature, asked for the enact
ment OF bill for state regulation of dis
tilleries and breweries.
If the bill is passed, Governor Pinchot
said, the sources of illegal liquor in
Pennsylvania can and will be dried up.
If the bill is defeated he predicts that
fragrant violations of the law will con-
tinue and the violators will be encouraged
to still further 1aWlessness. Governor
Pinchot said:
even if such day ever could come It
could do nothing of the sort. If n1odif-
cations of the Volstead Act is ever to be
possible, this much is clear: I can never
even be considered until the law is fully
enforced
This is not question of light wine
and beer. 1t is not question of unadul-
tetated liquor of any sort. 1t is ques-
ton of stopping the food of poisonous
drink poured out over this state and a
food of crime, misfortune disease and
death which ruins and kills our own peo-
pie by the thousand, and flows in an evil
stream from Pennsylvania into other
states as we'll.
Explaining that poisonous bootleg liq-
uor is made out of denaiured alcohol
either completely or specially denatured,
the Governor said that in the two years
ending June 80, 1928, the amount of spe-
cially denatured alcohol produced in Phil
adelphia increased from less than $780,
600 gallons to more than 5000, eco gal
Ions.
Scheme is Explained
In explaining how "the graft is work
ed" the Governor said there were Isl
manufacturers November 80 authorized to
make toilet waters, hair tonics and tobac-
CO sprays in Philadelphia.
"Thcse Isl toilet water, hair tonic and
tobacco spray makers withdrew in the
first 10 months of 1924 more than 1,100,-
600 gallons of specially denatured alco-
hol, which is probably alcohol enough to
make toilet water, hair tonic and tobacco
sprays for the people of the whole world
he said.
"Of these Isl manufacturers, 128 were
found by state officials to be engaged in
violations of law or in crooked practices
to cover such violations"
While the Governor said Pittsburgh is
center of Illegal beer, law violations by
brewers "are not concentrated In Pitts
burgh as law violations through dena-
tured alcohol are in Philadelphia" he
added
