SAN FRANCISCO, June s.-The
great majority OF thinking Ameri-
cans know that prohibition is
failure and that the Nolstead act
should be amended.
So declares former Chief Justice
OF the California Supreme Court,
Matt I. Sullivan, one OF the Nations
leading jurists.
1.-The main issue in the 1928 cam
paign will be the prohibition ques'
tion," said Judge Sullivan. And Il
will be decided in favor OF the
amendment or repeal Of this obnox-
ious law. In the meantime efforts
at enforcement will be futile.
Millions Extorted
Millions OF dollars extorted from
the American people through bur.
densome taxation are being wasted
annually in the employment OF prohl.
bition agents, attorneys and other
officers, many of whom constantly
violate the lew and through bribery
and corruption permit its wholesale
violation by rum runners, bootleg
gers and hi-jackers.
Many Of these officials are send

themselves. Jurors. grand and petty.
the majority Of whose members are
patrons of the bootleggers, are con.
stantly finding indictments and
rendering verdicts against i'm
forunates, who have been caught.
"Bibulous judges, national, State
and local, are daily sending to jails
and penitentiaries fellow citizens for
violating laws they themselves are
daily transgressing.
HypOcrit Preachers
"Hypocritical preachers. who from

oppose It, frequently within their
own homes take nip OF whisky or
glass of wine. furnished by the
ubiquitous bootlegger or generous
law-breakers from their locks.

cept the poor, who lack the means
to buy their liquor.
"If every Senator or Representa-.
tive with a dry tongue and wet gul.
let should suddenly become con
science-stricken and resign because
he could not, in conscience, vote 10
compel others to do what he refuses
to do himself, believe Congress
would have to adjourn for want Of
a quorum.
IF every judge who, in violation
of the law. takes an occasional drink
should resign because of his dis
qualifying habit, more than half the
courts of the country would close.
1T is no wonder that other PEG.

TRAFFIC NJ 4 Il
HELP SOUGHT

Traffic Director M. o. Eldridgs
today. asked the traffic council and
the citizens Of the District to aid
him and Major Edwin b. Hesse
in reducing the bulk Of the regu-
Iations.
In view of the request of the
Commissioners that an effort be
made to simplify the present code,
and to eliminate superfIuous regu:
lations. am asking the council to
recommend any regulations which
could be stricken out or modified
without detriment to the public
safety" said EIdridge.
Il should also like to request
that any individual who desires TO
do so make a careful study of the
regulations and make any specific
suggestions which may occur to
him.
Particular attention is called
to the fact" he said, that approx.
imately two-thirds OF all the ar
rests for traffic violations during
the month of March were for park
ing lights and overtime parking.
The Commissioners are agreed
on the necessity OF reducing arrests
by at least so per cent.
Commissioner Rudolph said that
the situation was becoming intoleE-
able when the number Of arrests
amounted to one-fourth of the
city's entire population.
Commissioner. Fenning said that
a charting of the city with a
standardized speed limit, not neces-
sarily as low as at present, may
have the desired effect. He ex.
planned that the installation OF
signs throughout the city for the
convenience Of visitors would help
remedy conditions.
All the Commissioners are hest.
tant in expressing an opinion on
the absolute abolition of parking
in the congested area. They point
out the need for parking space for
shoppers who cannot afford to
hire a chauffeur and the diff
culties which would arise If motor.
lists were forced to park too far
from their destination.

Of RICH" in Prince Georges county.
Her steeiy-grey eyes flashing
fire, Judge Retta Morris, Marylandss
only woman justice OF the peace,
today made this answer to the re.
port Of the April grand jury, in
which the attempt Of certain county
officials, headed by Mrs. Morris. to
clean up gambling and rum-traffic
is decried.
The grand jury report, signed by
Henry L. Morris, foreman. who, 1t
is said. formerly operated a saloon
i'm the county. makes a few sting
ing comments on the alleged prac.
tIce OF certain magistrates in
deputized policemen When arrests
are made, according to the report,
the names OF those taken are In
serted on the blank warrants.
People Aroused
So aroused are the people OF
Prince Georges county over alleged
immoral conditions that big mass
meeting, under the auspices Of the
county churches, has been planned
for Sunday afternoon. 1t will be
held in Maso9sic Temple, Hyatts-
vile. It ii possible, according to
some sponsors Of the mass meeting,
that an organization of "vigilantes''
may be effected to assist in curbing
vice.
Opponents of Judge Morris and
Mr. Bowie told the grand jury that
the special policemen were violating
the constitutional rights OF citizens
by entering private homes without
sufficient authority in search for
contraband liquor.
Prince Georges county is buzzing
as a result of the. action OF the
Grand Jury in indicting seven off
GERS of the county on the charge Of
larceny of private property in con-
nection with liquor raids.
The officers are charged with
having taken rifle. pistol, spot
light, a pair of glasses and a guam
tity of ammunition while making
a liquor raid on the home, of John
j. Summers in the southern end Of
the county a few weeks ago.
Those named in the indictment
were Constable Guy Robey, former
Constable Claude A. Reese, former
Constable Richard Anderson and
Special Officers George BuckhoIdt,
Charles Wilson, Mark Wood and
Bernard Rowe.
Robey and Rowe also were In
dicted on charges of simple assault
in connection with the Summers
raid.
Out OF a total of Al indictments
returned by the jury. only four
were for liquor violations. Many
cases where the raids were con.
Quoted by the indicted officers were
ignored.
Most Of the warrants on which
the arrests were made We're said to
be on warrants issude by Mrs.
Morris.

MAGICIAN OF
FAME. AT THE
GRAND TUESDAY

The headline act of the coming
Grand theatre Tuesday is K. T..
Kuma, who has been before vaude-
vile fans for a decade. Kuma is a
clean-cut Jap WHO works fast and
smoothly. He has an interesting as
sortment of cabinet illusions, pro-
ducing a girl assistant and two male
attendants from cabinets. A levita-
tion of the girl and her subsequent
disappearance is one of the feature
tricks. A surprise in this act is Miss
Hatsu Kuma, whose charm, stage
presence and glorious soprano are
second only to her beauty. She sings
with no accent and without that
metallic ring found in most members
of her race. Her delivery is de-
light, the eXpressiveness of her hands
alone proving her to be one in a
million. The whole offering is Japan
at the very, very best.
Jack Hanley, as big as all OUT
doors, makes the world safe for
hokum, just as his billing says. He
lis a clowning pantomine comedian,

and carries himself with a style
that is all his own, working in pan
h tomine throughout, and when he gets
down to Juggling, he gives the audi
Ience not only a routine of burlesque
Juggling, but pulls some new ones.
Jack has played all the big time cir
cults for years.
An impressive and colorful musical
festival of songs will be the contri-
