Enforcement conditions at Detroit, he said, had improved about 50 per cent following an increase in | activities of the Coast Guard and pro- hibition agents, but added that it was “still a difficult problem there.” Cites States Not Aiding. Besides Wisconsin, which has voted against the dry law, Doran said, New York, Montana, Nevada and Maryland were not assisting the Federal Gov- ernment in enforcing prohibition. Many moonshiners have moved to Wis- consin from Illinois and Minnesota, he said, “where they feel they can operate with greater safety.” In Southern States, Doran continued, the sheriffs generally “stand from under with respect to the apprehension of moonshiners” because ‘“they regard that more as a Federal job.” The commissioner suggested that all border forces be consolidated into a doubtedly is on the decrease.” constabulary to handle immig: $38 $35 $40 $45 $50 $55 $60 $65 $75 $85 All Overcoats All Topcoats D.
