The conference of Saturday not hay- ing discussed the practical details ot how to enforce the law, T venture, in pursuance of the President's sug- gostion, to point out concretely how, i my opinion, the sources of illegal domestic liquor can be dricd up. “If the federal government would write Into each of its permits to | manutacture, transport, store or | utilize alcoholic liquids certain simple | conditions it would make lawbreak- |ing so difficult as to be practically | impogsible under anything short of | actual collusion between lawbreakers and the enforcement officials. | “The provisions intended to pre- | vent tax dodging which were written into the internal revenue law re-e {acted on November 23, 1921, which | re-enactment was sustained by the | Supreme Court, supply in detail nearly | every condition necessary to be em- | bodied in a permit In order to bring | the sources of illegal liquor under |control.

Points to Maln Sources. “The main sources of the present flood of illegal drink are breweries, alcohol producing plants, liquor in bond and smuggling. Smuggling can be dealt with only by the national government. It ja a problem by itself. Breweries and alechol producing plants cannot op- erate or deliver their products except under. federal permit, while liguor in bond is wholly controlled as to its safe keeping, transportation and release by federal permits.

Slowness of the first fire apparatus in reaching the scene of a fire in ten two-story apartment houses in Han- over street, between North Capitol and 1st streets, early today was a contributing factor to much of the damage caused by the flames, in the | opinion of Battalion Chief John J. Hanlon. This fire apparatus, equipped with old-style tractors, Chief Hanlon ex- plained, was unable to make more |than twelve miles an hour and the |fire gained much headway as a result.
