DRY FORCE ORDERS
BAN RUM DRINKING
Avoiding of Search Warrant
by New Methods Sought
Under New Policy.

Prohibition agents no longer will be
allowed to drink the evidence, except
by special permission" under a new
enforcement policy just laid down by
Prohibition Director Woodcock.
1T is, in my judgment, no longer
necessary for any prohibition agent to
consume intoxicating liquor" wrote Col.
Woodcock in comprehensive letter to
his bureau personnel explaining the new
policy.
He outlined the procedure to be used,
recommended operation of the injunc-
ton or paddock against SpeakeaSieS, and
insisted that the Federal dry forces con-
centrate more on stopping the supply
of liquor to the Speakeasy.
Would Avoid Search Warrant.
Director Woodcock was explicit in his
instructions as to how agents should
avoid drinking liquor. He recommended
what Is more generally known IN the
parlance of the agents as the quick
Knockout" or immediate arrest. This
procedure is possible without the agent
drinking. he said.
Explaining his system, Director
Woodcock said:
Il strongly recommend to you for
use against certain types of speakeasies
the method of immediate arrest after
purchase. This method eliminates the
necessity for consuming Intoxicating
liquor and, if followed by careful in
tensive investigation, should lead to the
disclosure of the real parties in interest.
such an arrest, Of course, 1uStitleS a
search of the immediate premises All
doubt is removed as to the identity OF
the seller, and the delay and circum-
locution of the search warrant is avoid
ed. With little ingenuity agents may
be available to assist in making the
arrest after the initial purchase has
been made. There is no reason why
evidence obtained in this way should
not be effective for injunction pro-
ceedings."
Special Permission Allowed.
Col. Woodcock added, however, that
1T is conceivable that there are still
places where the other method will be
necessary"
IF such places exist" he said, lad
ministrators are authorized to give
special permission in advance for agents
to consume intoxicating liquor upon the
premises but this permission must be
place before any agent will be permitted
to consume Intoxicating liquor.
Administrators will make written
report to me of each permission granted.
so that a careful study and record OF
these instances may be kept
In some parts of the country inform
ers have been used to obtain evidence,
particularly by police. These inform
ers sometimes have been required to
make two different buys of liquor, and
in the process of making these buys
often drink liquor, allaying suspicion
as to their purpose in making the buy.
It Is believed also that some agents
in making cases against speakeasies had
felt called upon to drink some of the
evidence It is this drinking that Col.
Woodcock has ordered stopped.

Larry Lack. He is born but not ye
died. When Larry left New Bruins
wick, it had a population of about
10000; since he has left the popu'
lation has increased two-fold. Il
sounds bad, Larry.
When Lackie was a very young
lad of seven, he moved to Milford
I'm sure he can remember how cor
daily the second grade (now the Jun
ior class) treated him on the first
few days. Larry was exposed to the
torture of the severest initiation
that could be thought of by the boys
of the class.
When this now famous lad a very
small boy, he secured what he thot
was an excellent saddle horse on
which to take a ride around the
country. While Larry was enjoying
his outing, he met one of his friends
who was riding a pony. Let's have
race" suggested his friend. ".All
right" agreed Larry, as big as a
grand duke.
The race was started, Larry, rid5
ing his bony plow horse felt like a
young Lochinvar. The race took
place down the State road out by the
Caulk Laboratory. Larry said when
his horse came to a turn in the road
the horse went around the corner
and left him going straight ahead.
Larry is somewhat like Sir An
drew Freeport in one respect-you
certainly ought to hear him argue
in English class.
Now young Larry, because he was
going to secure a position as dis
tributing manager of the New York
Times after his graduation, was
made the distributing manager of
our high school paper. If Larry
doesn't get the first named position,
he hopes to get high political po-
sition, president or something, like
other. great men born in February.
We think Larry will die before the
year 1000, because he says he does
not want anything to do with the
government of the next country.
Whatever your great work may be,
Larry, we're sure you'll be success
full as you always have been in Mil
ford High School," L. H. H.
