EAST INATTENTIVE - T0° DRY URGINGS 6 Oat of 41 Eastern States Really Enforcing Prohibition New York, Aug. 3.—Of 11 states in the eastern part of the United States, six took action through their legisla- tures last winter toward more string- ent prohibition enforcement. Notable among these was Pennsylvania. In four others no action was taken, while in New York the existing enforcement measure was repealed, A summary of the situation follows: Delaware—An effort to amend the Klair prohibition enforcement law at the last séssion of the Delaware legis- lature was defeated in the closing hours of the session when a bill intro- duced by Representative Joseph M. Brogan, democrat, died in committee. The measure was drafted by the Dela- ware State Medical Society and en- dorged by the State Dental Society. It provided. for a modification of the law to make it possible for druggists to fill prescriptions of physicians for medicinal purposes where the use of alcoholic stimulants was deemed ne- cessary. Opponents of the bill and many of those in favor of modification of the Klair law expressed the opinion that the measure was too drastic, and that it practically would nullify the law. New York—Repeal of the Mullan- Gage state prohibition enforcement statute, adoption of a memorial to congress requesting modification of the Volstead Act so as to legalize the traffic in beer and wine, and passage of a bill preventing search and seizure by peace officers of the state without a warrant, were the chief contribu- tions of the New York legislature to the wet and dry controversy. The bill repealing the enforcement statute was the center of the storm. Introduced on the opening day of the sessiom; it several times failed to mus- ter a majority of votes in the Assem- bly after a successful trip through the senate, but finally was passed by a margin of one vote a few hours before final adjournment nearly fifteen weeks after its introduction. Its subsequent approval by Governor Smith and the memorandum in which he set forth the reasons for his action are now po- litical history. The governor, in his annual mes- sage to the legislature, recommended adoption of the memorial to congress. The search and seizure bill amended the Civil Rights Law by making mandatory instead of permissive that section providing that the right of the people to be secure against unreason- able search and selzure should not be violated. The purpose of this amend- ment, it' was generally understood, was to prevent search, by state offi- clals without warrants, of automobiles and other vehicles on the highways. New Jersey—The prohibition ques- tion was not taken up by the New Jersey ‘legislature last winter. ‘West Virginia—The West Virginia 1923 legislature, at its recent session, amended the present prohibition law fixing heavy penalties for violations. An added section provided a sentence of from one to three years for any person found to have firearms or other ‘weapons on his person or in a vehicle at or within 100 yards of the place where intoxicating liquors are being unlawfully manufactured, transported or sold. Connecticut—During the last ses- sion of the Connecticut legislature, there were introduced bills to repeal the present state enforcement laws and to increase the lawful alcoholic content of liquors, as well as a reso- lutions to memorialize the congress of the United States to change the Volstead Law so as to allow light wines and beer. An effort towards ratification of the Eighteenth Amendment was stopped by a ruling that refusal to ratify by a previous session ended the matter. The bills to repeal the liquor laws and to alter the alcoholic content in liquors were rejected on unfavorable committee reports with little contest. The proposed memorial to congress received much verbal attention, but few votes. Maine—New acts require a federal permit to transport liquor, with fine of $300 and $600, and jail sentence of three to six months; provide penalty of not more than $1,000 or imprison- ment for not more than three years for conspiracy to sell liquor in the state; penalty $500 to $1,000 and jail centence of six months to two years for drivers of liquor cars not having owner's permission in writing to use them, thus providing for forfeiture of automobiles and preventing evasion of responsibility through the plea that owners lack knowledge of the use made of cars. Conforming to the na- tional act, the Maine statute which formerly read “sale within the state” | now relates to liquor eale” and is designed “intended for to prohibit Jup the operation of the act until it NEW BRITAIN DAILY BERALD, FRIDAY, AUGUST 3, 1923. ried in the general appropriation bill, providing funds for the ordinary ex- penses of the state government, and | was entirely independent of the pro- hibition enforcement act itself.

Rhode Island—No change made in state enforcement act passed twof years ago.

Pennsylvania—A prohibition en- forcement act, sponsored by Gover- nor Gifford Pinchot, was enacted by the 1923 Pennsylvania legislature. It repealed an enforcement law passed by the 1921 legislature, which provid- ed a system of licenses for hotels, saloons and similar places, permitting them to sell beverages which came within the legal requirements fixed by | congress. It also provided more stringent search and sefzure and burd- en of proof sections than the old law. The 1923 legislature defeated ad- ministration measures designed to license and regulate breweries and to control the manufacture and sale of alcohol for commercial, scientific and medicimal purposes and refused to| grant $250,000 asked by the governor for “law enforcement” under his per- sonal direction.'The $250,000 was car- | shipments from Canada to other states | through Maine, New Hampshire—No prohibition discussion.

Even now Mohammedanism is spreading rapidly in India. The lat- est figures show that there are more Mohammedans here in Bengal today than there are Hindus. 8o, if the government falls into the hands of the Indian people, it probably will mean Mohammedan rule again. But | even that would be preferable to the present government, because it would be government by our own kindred.” - - Ask for Horlick The ORIGINAL Malted: Milk For Infants, Invalids Children The Original Food-Drink for All A Qu-ckL_tmch.eHome,OficeaFouma?n: RichMilk, Malted Grain Extractin Pow- der& Tabletforms, Nourishing-No cooking.
