DECLARES WAR ON ALL LIQUOR HERE Has Bill to Enforce Volstead Act and Prohibition Law in State. Hartford, Sept. 10.—The Volstead act as well as the prohibition law, will be rigidly enforced in Connecti- cut in the near future if the plans af the Connecticut Temperance Union materialize, A bill is to be presented at the regular session of the legisla- ture that will be similar in nearly every respect to the provisions of the Volstéad act with similar penalties, so that violators of the prohibition law will be liable to prosecution both by state and federal authorities. H. Spoaner of Kensington, sec- of the Connecticut Temper: ance Union said today some such law seemed to be a necessity due to the conditions at present existing in which the police authorities seem in- clined to make no attempt to en- force the national prohibition law. “The existing state laws are now con- flicting,” said Mr. Spooner. “The tendency seems to be for the police to make arrests for drunkenness but en- tirely to pass up the men who sell intoxicants.” Mr. Spooner said the first plan was ta have the bill submitted to the special session of the legislature to be held next week so that if passed it could more quickly become operative, but that as sentiment seemed to be against troducing any business at the special session that did not abso- lutely have to be introduced, it w decided to defer action until January.
