The disagreement concerned the advisability of seeking early enact- ment of legislation to make the liquor buyer punishable under the prohibi- tion laws.

Jones is the author of the fa- mous “five and ten law” providing severe maximum penalties for viola- tions of the dry statutes. Meanwhile, a series of three bills, intended to improve prohibition en- forcement, principally through relief of congested federal court dockets, bore approval of the house judiciary committee. With several modifica- tions, the program followed the gen- eral outline of the plan proposed by the Hoover law-enforcement commis- sion. One measure would authorize the summary prosecution of offenses, elsewhere defined as misdemeanors, before United States commissioners without a jury. Whatever the action of the commissioner, it must be con- firmed or disapproved by a member of the federal bench. Another would amend the United States code to define a misdemeanor as an offense calling for a maximum penalty of six months in jail and a fine of $500 or both and a felony as an offense punishable by imoprison- ment for not less than one year. The third measure would amend the Jones law to define a misde- meanor under the prohibition laws as an offense committed by one who is not an habitual violator of the dry statutes and a case involving not} more than one gallon of liquor. This program was approved by the committee late yesterday after it had \received a supplementary report from Chairman Wickersham of the law en- forcement commission.
