AMERICAN AVIATOR CAPTURED BY MEXICAN REBEL s
Dry Officials Scoff at
 Aldrm About Jones La,u

7 WASHINGTON, March 25.-Many reports have reached the ears of
 prohibition enforcement officials that bootleggers were scurrying to cover since the enactment of the Jones bill to increase penalties for dry law violations, but there is no official confirmation of such stor- ies at the Treasury Department.
 Seymour Lowman, assistant sec- retary Of the Treasury, in charge of prohibition, and Dr. James M. .Doran, commissioner of prohibition, said that no cases brought under the Jones law had reached a deter imitation and it was impossible to judge the effect of the legislation a tthis early date. bowman be- lieved that most of the reports reaching the department concern ing bootleggers quitting business were untrue. Since the day the Jones law was signed by President Coolidge reports have come from Various sections of the country that bootleggers were abandoning their Illicit trade.
 \ Penalty Up to Judge
 Invariably these stories have said That the big operators among the Piolators were taking this, action rather than face a penalty of five years in prison and a maximum fine of s1O,O00 The penalty, however, may be set by the judge hearing case and may be no more than un- der the present law if the court so rules
 Coincident with the report that bootleggers were becoming frighten- ed, it was related that the price Of liquor was being doubled or tripled because of the added risks Involved. These types of reports caused officials to smile, and they expressed the belief that the boot leggers were using a pretext to ob- tain from their customers a great deal more than the poor quality of liquor sold in this country was worth.
 Especially did this apply to the large operators among the vsola- tors and to strike at the source of supply rather than to pile up in- numerable cases against small ped- dlers who are only distributing agents for the big law violators.
 bowman said that while there had been a few arrests under the Jones law throughout the country, no gauge as to it's effectiveness could be set until some of the cases had been tried He pointed out that under the law it was neces- sary for a federal grand jury to return indictments against persons with prohibition law vio- lations and to give them a trial in the federal courts, already 21,000 cases behind on prohibition.
 Commissioner Doran agreed with Lowman saying it was too early to predict what effect the Jones law would have on the situation

The next number on the program

So we looked out, and there in the large

and boys, who took places in regular

at these motions vigorously and with

Of recognition. Still later, at the rail-

Somehow we could not quite concen-

immense quantities of cotton cloth,

are thick with vulgar personalities. The
iaundiced efforts of such vinegary souls
have about as much influence upon the
onward sweep of true Protestantism as
have the fugitive dartings of the eve
ming midge. Life is too short to expend
ones time and effort on every dog that
barks. Moreover. do not forget that
some of these bilious critics print their
spleen solely for pecuniary profit and
would attack anything for a price.
They are a species of intellectual pres
titution, who would not hesitate to
abuse their own mothers if to so do
would be financially worth while.
When Protestants are loyal to their
faith and order and unite their spir-
itual forces, we shall hear fewer COM
plants about the motion pictures.
These have already amended their
ways to some extent under the pres
sure of public opinion. Meanwhile, it
is the proud distinction of Protestant
clergymen to be caricatured by certain
authors and producers. whose opposi-
ton is one of the best credentials OF
the Christian ministry.
