Proved Efficient

ing concealed weapons.

reduced to yagrancy and he was
sentenced to Is days in the coun-
ty Jail.

Whether Attorney General
Mitchell and other Cabinet Of
ficers who appeared before the
committee indorse Woodcock'S So
luton of the problem, was not dis
closed. Nowhere in the documents
and transcripts was there any
that quoted Mitchell. He ap-
peared before the commission
several times, but his views were
given in confidence, and the COM
mission withheld them, along with
a mass of other testimony that
Judge William S. Kenyon referred
to in his individual report a
month ago as so startling in it's
bearing on graft and corruption
that Congressional investigation
was: warranted.
Four specific recommendations
were made by Colonel Woodcock,

Col. Woodcocks Statements
Indorsed by Mrs. Willebrandt

Colonel Woodcock's suggestion
to make home-brewing legally re-
spectacle had the Endorsement
of Mabel Walker Willebrandt,
former assistant attorney general
in charge of prohibition, and now
general counsel for the California
vineyardiSts engaged in a ma
tional campaign of selling grape
concentrate which, if let alone,
nature turns into wine in the
home.
Mrs. WiIlebrandt told the COM
mission that Congress intended
to especially exempt the home
owner from persecution for allow
ing his fruit juices to become
stronger than the One-half of one
per cent allowed under the Vol
stead act.
A totally different view was
taken by James J. Britt, former
