The penalties for these violations shall be fines not to exceed $500 or imprison- ment, not to exceed six months with- out hard labor, or both. An amend- ment to the prohibition law for this purpose has been drafted by the com- mission, too, as well as a separate bill authorizing the prosecution of such cases of prohibition violation by com- plaint or information., with hearings before & United States commissioner in a district_court. Judgment in such cases is to be rendered by the judge of the court, after consideration of the report of the commissioner. The right to demand a jury trial is reserved to the accused, if he desires. “Padlock” Amendment Is Urged. Another amendment to the national prohibition act J:ropoud by the com- mission, designed to make padlock in- Junctions more effective, follows: “If in any proceeding under this sec- tion it is made to appear to the court that any person or persons unknown have or claim an interest in such room, house, building, structure, boat, vehicle, or place, or some part thereof, which would be affected by the order prayed for, it may order that such person or persons unknown be made parties by designating them as unknown owners of or claimants of some interest in the property described, and such person or persons, and any defendant or defend- ants who are absent from the jurisdic- out the jurisdiction, it is impracticable to serve otherwise, or who are shown to the satisfaction of the court to be con- cealing themselves for the purpose of evading service of process or of any | order of ths court, may be served in| accordance with the provisions of sec- | tion 57 of the Judiclal Code (Title 28, ‘The Law Enforcement Commission recommended, too, the following amend- ment to the prohibition, law making it possible to take full advantage of the activities of State officers in cases of unlawful transportation of liquor: “Any State, county or municipal officer of the law may, on discovery of any person in the act of transporting in violation of this title intoxicating liquors in any wagon, buggy, automobile, water or air craft, or other ‘vehicle, seize the same and any and all intoxi- cating liquors found therein being transported contrary to law, and arrest any person in charge of the same, and may thereupon proceed against such person and property in the appropriate Federal court as hereinbefore provided.” The committees of the House, it is expected, will deal promptly with the propesed amendments and bill. Norris Unable to Give Course. In the Senate, the President's mes- sage on law enforcement, with the re- ports of the Law Enforcement, Commis- sion and separate memoranda prepared by Secretary Mellon of the Treasury and Attorney General Mitchell were referred to the judiciary committee, of which Senator Norris of Nebraska is chair- man., That committee is expected to take up the recommendations at its meeting next Monday. Senator Norris sald he was unable to say what course the committee would adopt. The Sen- | ate is engaged at present with the tariff bill and until that measure is out of | way, it is not expscted that prohibition enforcement measures will have an op- | porfunity for consideration in that bod. y. The President’s message and recom- mendations for strengthening the laws 50 as to bring about more adeguate enforcement of prohibition met with favorable comment on the part of many of the dry members of the Senate and House. Senator Jones of Washington, chairman of the appropriations commit~ tee and an ardent dry, said: . “I think that the report of the Enforcement Commission is compre= hensive and it reveals the fact that the commission has done a great deal of work on the subject of prohibition en- forcement. 1f the recommendations of the and President Hoover are enacted into law they will go far toward bringing about effective prohi- bition enforcement.” Harris Is Pleased by Report. Senator Jones is co-author of the so- called “five and ten” law enacted by the last Congress to strengthen prohi- bition enforcement. Senator Harris of Georgia, the dry Democrat, who started the recent furore over prohibition enforcement by as- sailing the President's Law Enforcement Commission and demanding that it make an immediate report on prohiti- tion, said he was well pleased with the report, now that it is in. It embodies recommendations for changes in the law which ‘Senator Harris has favored for some time, he said, especially the recommendations for the transfer of the prohibition unit from the Treasury De- partment to the Department of Justice and the use of United States commis- sloners to hear cases involving minor infractions of the dry laws. “I introduced a bill two years ago to do that thing,” said Senator Harris. referring to the use of the United States commissioners. Senator Wagner of New York, a wet, introduced in the Senate a resolution requesting the President to instruct the Law Enforcement Commission to re- rt on the suitability of existing pro- ibition laws and the advisability ,of amending the laws. Hawes Comments Favorably. ‘The President's recommendations were favorably commented upon by Senator Harry Hawes of Missouri, another wet. Senator Hawes sald thaf the proposal to recodify the prohibi- tion laws was excellent. “The Volstead act,” he said, “is not a sclentific enactment. It is illogical in parts, vague in other parts and ex. treme. Its definition of one-half of one per cent as intoxicating is an absyrdity upon its face and cannot be successfully defended. Modification of this limitation would do more to bring law enforcement than millions spent by Congress or any other proceedin which the commission could advocate.’ Representative A. Piatt Andrew of Massachusetts, introduced in the House today his resolution authorizing the appropriation of $1,000,000, to enable the Law Enforcement Commission to make an extended inquiry into the problem of prohibition and its enforce- ment, and to continue the life of the commission for two years. Glass Sees no Reason for Fund. Senator Carter Glass of Virginia, de- clared that he saw no reason for such an approphiation or for such an ex- tended inquiry by the commission. He said he believed the commission could complete its work promptly. Speaker Longworth said today in as- signing different phases of the program to six committees, he had been prompted by a desire to expedite con- sideration. He explained he found that the recommendations of the Law Enforce- ment Commission and the phases covered in the message of transmittal by Mr. Hoover and the accompanying reports from Secretary Mellon and Attorney General Mitchell, embodied subjects that could best be handled in this way. Revidion of border patrol activities looking to consolidation under the juris- diction of the Coast Guard naturally would go to the ways and means com- mittee, he asserted. “Naturally, immigration questions would go to the immigration committee,” he continued. “The recommendation for the District of Columbia obviously would subject; that pertaining to the courts to the judiciary committee, and the pro- }nul for transfer of the prohibition en- forcement unit from the Treasury to the Justice ent to the commit- tee on mn tures, since it involves only an inistrative change. 130 to Study Measures. “These six committees have a total membership of 130. Thus more than one-fourth of the House membership immediately will bé inter- ested directly in acting upon the presi- dential recommendations. If we had re- ferred the proposals to a joint congres- sional committee, as once considered, perhaps not more than five or seven ‘House members would have participated in the deliberations.” Representative Garner of Texas, the House Democratic leader, said today he belleved Mr.,Longworth had chosen the best means of expediting action, adding that the committees to which the Speak- er hdd. refewred the recommendatipns had been dealing with such questions in a difterent form since almost the day of the First Congress. Of those discussing the report, Henry H. Curran, president of the Association Against the Prohibition Amendment, uf: it was clear the commission had concluded after eight months of study that the *“problem of prohibition is not one to be solved by tinkering with en- forcement ure,” and that it was clear also that the commisison “believes tt‘: law as it now stands is unenforce- abler At the headquarters of the Anti- Saloon League, it was said the board of directors in session at Detroit had taken the report under consideration. Although no announcement was avail- able, it was predicted favorable reaction would be forthcoming later. Deets Picket Approves. Deets Picket, research secretary of the Methodist Board of Temperance, Prohibition and Public Morals, asserted that “we favor the recommendations of President Hoover as they come to us” and added he regarded the report & “start” that might serve as an intro- Reduced to........... of flannel co: g0 to the District of Columbia commit- | tee: that for the Coast Guard to com- ! merce, which for years has handled this Offering a greater variety of unusual slippers in the smartest colours and leathers.

Today there appeared little M tion among “wets,” as & whole to oppose the recommendations. . For_several years many * bers have advocated T larger sums of money ibition than have been provided, contending this would be one means of showing that the statute was unenforceable. A number of this group looked favorably upon the resolution introduced yester- day by Senator Wagner, Democrat, New Yerk, to ask President Hoover to direct the Law Enforcement Commission to inquire into the “suitabllity of existing prohibition laws for the promotion of temperance In the House, the annual appropria- tion bill for the Treasury-Post ce Department, which carries funds for the prohibition unit, held a preferred place today on the legislative calendar, and will be taken up in a few days. Usually the consideration of this meas- ure has been provocative of heated wet and dry debate, and many today felt in view of the present flood tide diseus- sion of the subject that debate over the measure would be the most intense in recent years.
