Prohibition Law Will Be
Enforced Honestly and
Fairly

BIZ Scripps-HotUdrd NeUstGper Alliance
BALTIMORE, June 26.-Colonel
Amos w. w. Woodcock, discussing
plans for his new job as national
prohibition director, makes only one
definite promise.
1.-THE prohibition law" Colonel
Woodcock said today, will be en-.
forced honestly, decently and fairly
There will be no underhand
maneuvering.
And that" said he, "is as much
as any citizen can ask and no more
than he should desire"
The Maryland United States at
torney, whose record caused him to
be selected for this nationwide Of
flee, doesn't attempt to predict how
successful he will be in trying to
enforce the prohibition law. He
doesn't say that the liquor traffic
will stop or all bootlegging places
will be closed.
He simply says he will get into
the job and do the best he can.
st was chosen, I suppose, because
I am a lawyer who has had con-
siderable contact with the problems
of prohibition enforcement" he
said.
Would he make a drive on rum
runners across the borders? Would
he go after the big bootleggers?
Would he try to wipe out the liquor
racketeers?
To all these questions Colonel
Woodcock said merely, cit is a little
early to be talking about definite
plans. Just say for me that I am
going to take up all the problems
of enforcement the best way know
how, and my one promise is that
the bill of rights will be observed"
On the general question Of pro-
hibition Woodcock was even more
silent.
do you think you can eliminate
bootlegging in the nation?" he was
asked. Woodcock smiled.
THAT is something I will be able
to answer later" he said.

Then the expert gave his YER

stole the workman's gun, dis
charged a shot from it and
secreted it where it was found.
On the night of the crime, he
slit the basement screen and gave
the opening perfect sembiance Of
a forced entry.
Then he took his stand behind
the portieres to await the return
of the son-in-law.
He was armed with the war
weapon, which he had taken from
the recess where it had long lain
awaiting an opportune time for
the killing.
The doomed man entered the
door and closed it behind him. A
low voice called to him from be-
hind the portieres and he turned
to face it. Then the murderer
pulled the trigger.
