New York. June - (UP) = Chester P. Mills, former New Yorl state prohibition administrator who won the $25,o00 Durant prize for an essay on dry law enforce ment, was named today in an in dictment handed up in federal court by the Brooklyn grand jury
 The indictment contained two counts and named eight persons besides Mills.
 The charges are conspiracy to violate the internal revenue laws and alleged diversion of industrial alcohol from it's authorized desti- nation.

 William c. Luth one of Mills's assistants when he. was prohibition administrator, was named with Mills in the sixth specification. It wag charged they had interests In an alcoholic formula known as Kant Freeze" but there was no definite explanation of the alleged manner in which this formula was used in the conspiracy.
 The indictment alleged that lon or about January l, 1880" the de- fendants unlawfully and knowing ly agreed with ..divers other per sons" to violate the federal law by purchasing quantity of denatured alcohol which had been withdrawn from bond without payment of in- ternal revenue tax.
 This alcohol, it was charged. was delivered to 195-197 Plymouth street, Brooklyn. and put through a chemical reactionary process to make 1t drinkable.
 The indictment said the alcohol was made into a beverage "cou- taining one-half of one per cent or more of alcohol by volume, all without permit or authority.
 The Brooklyn place was raided on January 14, 1882. by prohibi- ton agents. a
 Mills issued a statement denying the charges and saying he would have no difficulty in proving his innocence.
 It was recalled that in his prize essay, Mills wrote:
 "The diversion of industrial al- cohol under cover of industrial permits carelessly granted by un- reliable persons produces the ma jority of liquor consumed today"
 Mills home is in Fairfield, Conn.
