SPROULASSALS DRY LAW LAXITY Tells Legnslators Advocates " Stern Penalties for Officers Who Fail to Enforce It. | By the Associated Press, HARRISBURG, Pa., January 2.— {Gov. Sproul told the members of the Pennsylvania legislature today ihibition enforcement, laws, federal and state, are not working well in Pennsylvania.” The governor, who goes out of office In two weeks and delivered his final message to the legislature In person, sald that some people are in- clined to blame this condition upon the state’s own enforcement law, and | yot the fact remains that in other states, which have the kind of laws | which these critics demand, the re- sults are no better.” Cites Conditions Elsewhere. | “In New York and New Jersey, iwhere the type of laws which are dosired here have beon enacted,” | Gov. Sproul sald, “the disregard for ition is certainly fully as much dence as it is in Pennsylvana. Evan in states whith have pat prohi- bition for vears, there has been much more illicit trade in intoxicating liquors than before the passage of federal enforcement. Here in Pennsyl- aw has worked very well . _In all sections, or, o dimeult to ment seems strangely inert and in- different.” This situation, he said, is “most dis- couraging and dangerous,” and is “particularly menacing in a free “Bootlegging Astounding.” “Bootlegging has become a business of astounding proportions,” the gov- ernor declared, “and undoubtedly much of the banditry and other crimes which now are harassing the country have their genesis in_the school of outlawry fostered by the illegal trade | of intoxicants. We are rearing a fine | brood of criminals which it will re- quire stern measures to suppress.” Education and patience ma: ia cure, he declared. The only that {8 now in sight, he add careful and conscientious {of the law by the auth 3 |severe penalties for disregard of duty {upon the part of officlals and an awakened public appreciation of the | peril by our people which will make {lawbreaking disreputable. Until the sentiment of the people earnestly sup- ;ports the dry laws, their enforcement | will be extremely difficult and their |general effect more harmful than beneficial.” —_— PLANNING TO DENTIFY | | BODY FOUND IN SWAMP' | Florida Officials to Make Arrest, | Charging Skeleton Is That of, Murder Victim. | —_— By the Associated Press. ORLANDO, Fla, January 2.—City and county authorities were early to- day making final preparations for identifying the skeleton found in the | swamps near here a fortnight ago. The police announced last night that following the identification, they ex- pected to make an arrest on a charge of murder. Chief of Police Edward Vestal and Sheriff Kare, in advancing the mur- der theory, said a tnorough examina. tion of the bones and remnants of clothing found on the skeleton, which they believed had lain in the swamps for more than a year, had led to the discovery that the man was murdered. Up until last night the authorities { had asserted their bellef that the ] skeleton was that of an Army aviator, and arrangements were being nmal | to search the vicinity for the remains of a plane as-soon as surface water in_the woods had ppeared. The police say they firs leved a search cause of a report s here three years ago to the commandant at Carlstrom Field, Arcadia, Fla., that an airplane in flames had been seen over the western part of this county. The authorities refused to discuss their foul play theory pending ar- rests. _— Some of th rrors of Washington' need renovating.
