A—16 BISHOP CRITIIZES DRY ENFORGEMENT Declares No President Has “pone Anything” to Make Law Success. By the Associated Prss. CHARLOTTE, N. C., January 17.— Bishop Edwin D. Mouzon of the South. ern Methodist Church, one of the Demo- | crats who opposed Alfred E. Smith in | 1928 on the wet-dry issue, yesterday | sharply eriticised the prohibition record | of the President. | “Herbert Hoover has been in office | for two years, and not yet does the blic know whether he is wet or dry,” | e bishop declared in an address at exercises under the auspices of the Charlotte W. C. T. U., celebrating t.he‘ THE SUNDAY STAR, JEWS WILL HONOR eleventh anniversary of the eighteenth| W amendment. Hits at Wickersham Group. Saying it was time “to take prohibi- tion out of the hands of politicians, and t it back in the hands of its friends,” | gl‘i‘e churchman, a resident of Charlotte, took a shot at the Wickersham Law | Enforcement Commission. ‘ He recalled the commission had been‘ | charged with being a “kite-fiyer” for the President and asserted that in the | charge there is apparently ‘“much truth.” “Not since the passing of the eigh- teenth amendment,” Bishop Mouzon sald, “has there been a President who | has done anything to see that it was enforced. | “The great war President (Wilson) was not in favor of enforcement, not because he favored liquor, but because | - he did not approve of the form of the | law. | “Harding, of course, did nothing, for | he was interested in no moral question, Coolidge said nothing and did nothing. “And Hoover's Wickersham Commis- $ion only sits behind closed doors, oc- icasionally cracking them open to whis- s little and watch how the public take that.” The bishop also took issue with t Hoover's pre-election asser- tion that prohibition was a “noble ex- periment.” | Denies “Noble Experiment.” “Prohibition was not a noble experi- ment when it was taken over by the Nation,” he declared. “In every State | which had outlawed liquor, prohibition | was a tried success. | “We had tried everything possible to yegulate the liquor traffic before we | tried national prohibition. High license had falled. Under State control condi- tions were worse than in the wide-open conditions., But State prohibition succeeded. “No generation seems able to profit from the lessons @f the past. Then the present generfition must be edu- | cated against the evils of drink.” ..

Added by the combinations believed found written on slips of paper in a nearby desk drawer, thieves opened two safes at the Maxwell Furniture Co., 415 Seventh street, and escaped with ap- proximately $800 Friday night in a rob- bery. The robbery was discovered early yesterday when Max Schwars of 2722 Woodley place, manager of the store, opened the establishment and saw the doors of both strong boxes standing open and papers scattered over the of- fice floor. A third safe, standing beside the loot- ed pair, had not been touched, detec- tives said, despite the fact that the combination was also missing from the desk. It contained no money, store officials declared. Frank C. Bull an employs, told police and store officials that both safes were locked at closing time Friday night, while the janitor substantiated his story and said that he had latched all of the doors and windows of the bullding. Police had been unable to determine how the store was entered as none of the doors or windows showed any signs of tampering. Schwarz told Detective Sergt.
