THE FEVENING STAR. WASHINGTON, D. €. MONDAY. MARCH 18 1 929. NEW YORK GROUP FGATS ONES LAW New Act Provides Maximum Penalties for Discretion of Judges. BY MARK SULLIVAN. In New York City a committee of lawyers of high standing announces that they “propose to fight the Jones | Jaw with tHe same vigor that the New York bar displayed in the case of the fugitive slave law.” It the prosaically named “Jones law” | %< to have the elevation in history that the fugitive slave act had, doubtless ! the public will wish information as to | exactly what the Jones law is. It was: enacted in February. The vote in the! Scnate was 68 yea, 18 nays, 10 not vot- ing. In the House the vote was 284 yeas, 90 nays, 54 not voting. This ratio of support of the Jones law conforms | to the attitude of Congress on previous prohibition measures. Ever since pro-| hibition came, the Senate about 70 per cent dry and the House about 75 per cent. The essential language of the Jones Jaw reads that the penalty for violation of the national prohibition act “shall | be a fine not to exceed $10,000, or im- | prisonment not to exceed five years or both. Provided. that it is the intent of Congress that the court, in imposing | sentence hereunder, should discriminate | between casual or slight violations and | habitual sales of intoxicating liquor, or | attempts to commercialize violations of the law.” Minimum Penalties Unchanged. | The Jones law, it should be under- stood, is a statement of the maximum penalty. It says nothing about mini- | mum penalties. Under the Jones la minimum penalties remain exactly what they were before. This fact is specifi- cally stated in the law itself. The minimum penalty for a first offense has been | o 's of constru nt exhaust mufiers and aircraft of the future are not likely to Chrisler of the Bureau of Standards is which is reasonably soundproof. ompleted by the sound section of the Bu i a_soundproof airplan: WORKING ON NOISELESS AIRPLANE cabin, and b by curtailing the noise of the propellers be deafening to air passengers.

States, said today he was preparing to continue the inquiry vigorously. | “I am receiving additional informa- tion from many sources which will aid the commiitee in its investigations,” he said. “We will look into charges that other Federal offices, outside the Post Office Department, have been sold or dealt with corruptly.

Davis, A movement for the humane slaugh- tering of animals has been started in Seotland. Another way to describe the Jones Jaw is to state just what change it makes from the law as it was before. What the Jones law does and all it does is to increase the possible maxi- mum penalty up to $10,000 and five years. Before the Jones law, the maxi- mum was $1,000 and months for first offenders; and $2,000 and five years for second offenders. If it is asked why this increase was | made in.maximum penalties, an au- thoritative answer is in the statement | of the Assistant United States Attorney | from the Department of Justice, Mrs. | Willebrandt, who asked Congress to make the change. As it was put by the congressional report, “she testified that in big cities and in large cases * * * the judges complain that the maximum penalty was too low; that if they could have the discretion like that | given by this bill to impose the maxi-! mum _sentence in certain cases against | big offenders * * * the violators might be driven out of the business.’ J As it was put by Congressman Wil- | liams of Illinois, “These increased pen- alties are provided for the higher-ups, | for the aristocracy of the liquor traffic.” | Judges Given Wider Range. ‘The debate over the Jones bill was to only a small extent about the heaviness | of the maximum penalty. There was| practically no assertion that the maxi- mum penalty is unreasonably heavy for the maximum type of big and frequent | offender. The dispute was mainly | about the fact that the Jones law gives to judges the whole range of discretion between $1 and $10,000, between one day and five years. . It was agreed that the proviso about the “intent of Congress” has no bind- ing effect whatever. It was agreed that | the judge really has the whole rang> of discretion. As it was put by Congress- man La Guardia of New York City, “Not the offense, but the temperament, | feeling, ‘favor, whim, spite, caprice, or | digestion of the individual judge is the | measure of punishment.™ It was apparent that many Representa- tives and Senators were seriously troubled about this extraordinary dele- | gation of discretion to judges. The substantially universal practice is for Congress to fix the grades of crime and the corresponding penalties. It is not! denied that the Jones law, as it was| Pu! by Representative Irwin of Illinois, “gives to Federal judges the power ti send a man or woman to jail for five years and make them pay a fine of $10,000 if found guilty of making a pint of home brew for their own use.” Fight Was Clean-Cut. As a whole the debate in Congress was_mainly not about the Jones law | specifically. but about prohibition in general. The fight over the Jones law was a fight between wets in the broadest sense, and drys in the broad- est sense. Some of the debate from the | wet side was_violent. Representative O'Connor of New York City said: “I am against prohibition. I am egainst the eighteenth amendment. I abhor it. 1 despise it. I have no respect for it. Words would fail me in expressing my | disgust and absolute refusal to adhere to the Volstead act. . . . I would not | vote for one penny to enforce it. I would not counsel anybody to even respect the law. It is not worthy of | respect. I do not know anybody, or at | Jeast not many, who do respect it.” i i | Y. M. C. A.
