states that in 1920 there were $40 con-

GIVEN BROADER POWERS
Wisconsin Courts Will Now Apply
Habitual Criminal Statute Upon
Frequent Violators of Law

Wisconsin's lower courts have been
given broader discretionary powers il
dealing with offenders under the state
prohibition law as the result of recent
decision by the Wisconsin supreme court
in the opinion OF J. f. Messerschmidt,
deputy attorney general, who represented
the state in the cases at issue, says the
Christian Science Monitor.
Sentences of five out of six liquor law
violators serving in states prison were
affirmed by the supreme court, while one
OF the six who appealed on wrts oil error
won reversal of the lower courts de-
cision. The courts ruling establishes the
power of trial courts to apply the habitual
criminal statute ON violators of the pro
hibition act convicted previously under
other statutes
Penalty sections of the state prohibition
law (Severson acD provide the punish
ment, not only for first, but also the sec
ond and subsequent offenses under its
terms, the maximum being years term
in county jail. The habitual criminal
statute, however, provides maximum
penalty of three years in states prison.
Five of the men whose appeals were
considered by the supreme court had been
sentenced to states prison as habitual
criminals. The sixth had been sentenced
only as a repeater under the prohibition
law. The appeals were brought on the
contention that all should have been SEN
fenced under the provisions of the Sever
son act.

STATION CHARGES DOUBTED
Head of Association Against Prohibition
Amendment Says Liquor is Being
Sold Aboard United States Boats

Charges that liquor is being sold on gov
eminent vessels were made by w. IL.
Stayton, national chairman of the Assocla-
ton Against the Prohibition Amendment.
The charges were developed at an inquiry
by federal agents in New York. Shipping
board officials express surprise at the
charges and declare they are unfounded.
Chairman OConnor, of the shipping
board, made public letter, written to
Stayton, in which he says:
I am rather surprised that you had
given this out without at the same
time attaching statement Of what
you know to be fact, that the ship
ping board regulations have since the
passage of the Volstead act and do
now specifically prohibit the sale of
liquor on any of the government yes
sells. l say that you know this be-
cause you were yourself an operator
of shipping board vessels. Captain
Herbert Hartley, master of the Levia-
than, has the reputation of being one
of the strict disciplinarians on the
ocean, and, I believe, would not per
NIT violation of the shipping board
regulations prohibiting the sale OF
liquor where he could prevent it.
Stayton, it appears had specified the
Leviathan as the offending vessel.

FIFTY MORE DRY AGENTS

Reorganization of the Philadelphia pro-
hbition area was completed July II with
the approval OF Frank Dow, acting chief
of prohibition enforcement, of the en-
p3oyment of fifty new prohibition agents.
Ir addition, Mr. Dow informed the assist
ant administrator at Philadelphia that the
district would receive seventy-fve addi
tional men. 1t is planned to use these
forces principally as inspectors of per-
mits, in an effort to check the flow of al
cohol into bootleg channels. The Philadel-
phia area includes eastern Pennsylvania
and New Jersey.

conference with officials of the Hamilton,

that he is visiting lodges in various cities

of repeated raids made on them.
Special mention must be made of
certain so-called clubs where the
owners defy the law and which up
to the present we have found innpos-
sible to close up definitely.
Pursuit of Bootleggers
I'm order to speed up the pursuit
of bootleggers who transport liquor
between the United States and the
Province of Quebec, a patrol was
formed during the course of the sum-
mer of 1924. The inspectors forming
this PATROL who are in uniform, were
and still are commissioned to superin-
tend the routes leading from the
American frontier into our province.
Four inspectors, having two motor
cycles at their disposal, form this pa
troll. The results obtained i'll connec-
ton with seizures of alcohol and au-
tomobi1es fully justify this expert
ment.
Organized on Big Scale
"The affairs of the Barge Trem-
blay' demonstrated that illegal traf-
fc in spirits was organized on a big
scale There is no doubt that rela-
lively considerable quantities of liq-
uor have been distributed success
fully for illicit sale and have finally
reached consumers by means of nu-
mcrous sub-agents. We have put
forth special efforts to prevent this
illegal traffic and have met with
marked success. Even while we are
convinced that we are able to hinder
to a great extent the activities of
bootleggers as we'll as of blind pigs
or illicit resorts, it does not appear
to completely suppress them.
"In another place the commission re
ports:
Our operations against illicit re-
sorts in Montreal have by no means
come to an end. =. Cases of sales
without permits are still numerous,
amounting to $50.
"The report adds:
Cannot Search the CLUBS"
Notwithstanding our efforts we
are we'll aware that these Illicit re-
sorts still exist and that we shall
never succeed in permanently clos
ing up such places"
at speaks of clubs which frequent
are nothing else but illicit resorts on

THE managers manipulate matters
in such way as to make it impos-
sib1e for us to reach them.

"The Quebec liquor act does not FOR
bid the consumption of liquor on the
premises. There are now 50 restaurants,
more than 100 clubs, 489 hotels and 573
taverns in the full tide of selling intoxi-
eating liquor twelve hours a day, for
consumption of liquor on the premises in
the province of Quebec. The writer
walked down Montreafs ater-front saw
half dozen rceling men emerge from as
many taverns, and noted that no matter
how stagnant the trade of all the other
stores along the street might be, the
corner saloons (Which by courtesy have
been rechrstened 'taverns' in the prov
ince) are always full, lively, and doing a
rushing trade 1t is true that the law for
bids the sale of distilled spirits by the
glass and sells these only in bottles at
government stores, but high-proof wines
and beer are sold everywhere in taverns
and clubs and restaurants, while the
wholesale and illicit sale of whisky by
bootleggers right under the nose Of the
Quebec Liquor Commission is best proved
by the statements of he Liquor Commits
sion itself.
Liquor Commission Report Shows Boot
Logging Increasing
"The report of the Quebec Liquor
Commission for 1o24-25, in which the
commissioners boast that they have in
creased the sales of beer by one million
gallons over last year. has a section de-
voted to police department. The sec
ton brings cases down to May, 1925. In
the twelve months ending on that date
there had been 1890 complaints laid
against bootleggers and blind pigs, as
against only 1928 in the equal period pre-
ceding. an increase of 1000. The total
population of the province, it might be
recalled, is about 100000, with drink
bill of $20000,000. On April 80, 1925,
the LIQUOR commission had 1,136 non-com-
p1eted Investigations of this character,
as against only 498 the year previous.
These figures indicate how bootlegging is
growing. The report states:
Bootleggers Persistent
"The excess of 90 completed in
v.stigations during the course OF
1o24-25 demonstrates that very ac-
tive campaign was waged against IL

Rural districts in nine counties In
the state have this protection at the

studies made by the State Department
Of Health, the IT, s. Public Health Ser

cooperation with representative citi-
zens of the communities and counties
themselves.
Actual figures show that one county
decreased its sick and death rate 80

year. A like accomplishment is pos
sible for any other county at saving
not only of lives, but dollars as well.

SIX CHILDREN BURNED
TO DEATH IN HOME

Six children of the family of Mr..
and Mrs. Colletauo Vile, were burned
to death at Pantano station near
Tucson shortly after midnight Fri
day night, when the barn in which
they were living with their mother
and two sisters caught fire, burning
to the ground while frenzied crowd
stood by, powerless to render aid to
the six children trapped in one corner
of the building. The mother, her old
est daughter, and the baby of the
family, aged two, escaped from the
barn unharmed.
The fire is believed to have been
caused by a cook stove situated near
the one small entrance to the barn.
A spark from the stove dropping in
to the hay-strewn floor undoubtedly
started the blaze which destroyed the
building.
