Treasury to Ignore Protests Over Dry Law Killings
To USE
WHAT FORCE
IS NEEDED

Evidences Of a decided differ
ence of attitude at the Treasury
Department as to use Of force in
prohibition enforcement and a
tendency to refer complaints to
Congress rather than making
explanations were seen today.
Following the strong backing
given the Coast Guard, which
killed three rum-runners off the
Rhode Island coast, by Secretary
Mellon, it was learned that Of
ficialS did not intend to give
much heed to protests against
forceful enforcement, even to the
extent Of use of firearms, where
it appeared that the Government
agents were justified.
In some cases where complaints
have been received as to alleged
undue force in enforcement, the
protestantS have been referred to
their Representatives and Sen
ators with the statement that
Congress has enacted the laws
and the Treasury is making an
effort to enforce them.
Tone Seems Defiant
Melons statement and those of
Admiral F. c. Billiard. comman-
dant of the Coast Guard, and
Assistant Secretary Seymour Low
man, in charge of enforcement,
took on something of a defiant
tone, to the effect that the laws
were on the statute BOOKS and
that the Treasury simply was
trying to carry them. out and
planned to use the force neceS-
Sary.
In some quarters it was thought
that the Treasury has been
goaded by the constant criticism
of both vets and dryS, one
against what they called shot
gun enforcement, and the other
charging laxity.
Officials said that there was
not the slightest intention of
having the prohibition, customs
and coast guard agents throw
away their machine guns, rifles
and pistols because it is felt they
are operating against a desperate
class of criminals. In some
cases. officials agreed. enforce.
ment resolves itself simply into
a proposition of shooting it out"
with the smugglers and boot
leggers.
The Treasury apparently was
making final stand in the
reserve trenches until it's worn

although the administration of
permits will remain in the
Treasury under the proposal of
President Hoover, most of Secre-
tary Melons authority over in
duStrial alcohol will be gone. The
Justice Department virtually
would pass on permits. making
an investigation of applicants,
after which a report would be
made to the Treasury. This may
have been a concession to the
drys, some of whom protested
against permitting any feature of
prohibition enforcement to re.
main under Secretary Mellon.
There is every reason to believe
this will be highly satisfactory to
Mellon. It is well-known that the
secretary will be we'll satisfied
when the responsibility for
enforcement of the dry laws
passes to Attorney General
Mitchell.

TWO D. C.;HEADS
To Be NAMED
FEB. 4

Within the next week or two
President Hoover Is expected. to
make q number Of appointments
for local offices. the most impor-
tant ones being those for District
Commissioners and that Of Chief
Justice Of the District Supreme
Court.
Other appointments which will
be made shortly include a Judge
Of the Police Court. the tenure of
Judge Gus A. Schuldt expiring
on the fifteenth of this month.
The incumbent has been indorsed
by the legal fraternity for reap
pointment and he also has the
backing Of the local Republican
organization. There is every rea-
son to believe that Judge
Schuldt will be named again.
Several Candidates
The terms of District Commits
Sioners Proctor L. Dougherty and
Sidney r. Taliaferro expire Feb
ruary 4 and neither, it is under
stood, is averse to serving another
term. There are a number of
candidates for the places and
President Hoover has given the
matter his earnest attention for
some time. It is expected that
the President will act soon in
this matter.
For the place vacated on the
District Supreme Court bench by
Chief Justice Mccoy as presiding
Justice, the Bar Association has
recommended that Justice Wen
dell H. Stafford, who is the senior
justice in point of service, be
appointed.
The Bar Association also en-
dorsed and recommended the ap-
pointment for the vacancy created
by the resignation of Mccoy, of
either John e. Laskey, W. w.
MILAN or Joseph w. Cox, well
known local attorneys.
Name Peoples Counsel
Another appointment which
will be made at an early date by
President Hoover is that of a sue
ceSsor to Ralph E. Fleharty. who
recently placed his resignation as
Peoples Counsel into the hands of
President Hoover.
Foremost among those men
toned for the place is William
NICK. Clayton. long a champion
of public rights. who has appeared
in many battles for the public'S
interests at public utilities hear
ings.
Another appointment that will
also be made in the near future is
that of a judge of the Municipal
Court, the term of Judge James
A. Cobb expiring some time next
month. There is every indication
that Judge Cobb, who is a candi-
date for reappointment, will have
no opposition.
will Name Marshal
The term OF Edgar L. Snyder as
United States marshal for the Dis
trict expires in April. and~it looks
at this time as if he might be
named for another term. Marshal
Snyder has the unanimous in
dorsement for reappointment of
the Republican organization Of
the District in the councils Of
which he has always been an in
fluential factor.
The term of Judge Mary O'Toole.
of the Municipal Court, expired
in the last week Of December, and
President Hoover reappointed her
to serve another term.
