iederal Grand Jury Indicts 31 More In New York City Prohibition Drive These Are In Addition to| 108 Persons Made De-| fendants Monday — Ac- | tion Direct Result of Campaign Directed By | Mrs. Mabel Walker Wil-| lebrandt. New York, July 31 P—The fed- | eral grand jury handed down indict- ments today naming 31 defendants alleged to have conspired to violate the prohibition laws in connection with the operation of night clubs. These indictments closely followed another batch yesterday in which 108 defendants were named. Among those indicted today was Tommy Guinan, brother of Texas Guinan, | night club hostess who was among yesterday's defendants. Yesterday's indictments referred to the activities of 18 night clubs in the Broadway bright light district and today's indictments deult with eight more. Al the indictments are the result of raids conducted recent- ly by Washington enforcement agents under orders from Mrs. | Mabel Walker Willebrandt, deputy United States attorney general. { The evidence was gathered by the months as mien about town and patronizing the re- | sorts in evening clothes. Notices of indictment were mailed today to all the persons indicted yesterday and their attorneys were also notified. It was believed that they would he arraigned for plead- ing next Monday and pending ar- raignment their bail of $1.000 each was continued. The fact that sev- eral judges are away on vacatiom will delay trials until early fall New York, July 81 (I'P)—RBroad- way may have to give up its liquor after all. The big government dry machine is rolling down that avenue of gaiety at such an alarming rate | that the street habitues are hegin- | ning to wonder where they are going to get their highballs to celebrate the election of a new president in | November. Mgjor Challenge Drying up Broadway long has | been,a major challenge to the fed- eral authorities. Now they appear | to have accepted the challenge and are out not only to sop up the stuff that bubbles to the surface in the night clubs hut to tap and drain the reserve supply as well. There is probably no one area in the whole world where liquor is so expensive as in a Broadway night ciub. The hig profits do not all go to the hootlegger but to the sup- port of the club itself. A night club cannot support itself without liquor. Without alcohol the night club in- dustry withers on the amusement tree and drops off. Not Only Losers The hootleggers, then, are not the only losers. be lost by the owners of the clubs who have spent hundreds of thous- ands of dollars on decorations and entertainment, The big drive started that Governor Alfred E. Smith was nominated for president, although there is no implication that Gover- nor Smith's nomination had any- thing to do with it. It was just one of those nights in New York when a lot of people were out celebrating and Mrs. Mabel Walker Willebrandt, assistant attorney general, hit upon it as a good time to send her agents into the “good time” belt. Ever since that night the hand of federal authorities has been pressing down heavier and heavier on the gay spots. A new type of padlock was introduced against 36 night clubs and speakeasies providing an injunc- tion against the sale of liquor by the place of business or any of its em- ployees. Violations thereafter would be regarded as contempt of court with summary sentence without trial by jury. Not many night club hostesses, waiters or proprietors wanted to go up against a hazard like that. The result was widespread Pity. the night 108 Indicted Now 108 persons have been in- dicted on charges of conspiracy to violate the prohibition law. The de- | fendants include such Broadway luminaries as Texas Guinan and | Helen Morgan, the former perhaps | The |ing by | was not attended | of Main street | important I ment is | cause it New York | Even more money may | the country’s best Kknown hostes: Miss Morgan worke as hostess in the | night club which bears her name after she finishes her act in “Show Boat.” Ziegfeld's musical show. An- other famous defendant is Nils T. | Granlund, radio announcer who h‘ better known through Station WHN | N T. o Neither Mies Guinan nor Morgan owns her own clubs. They are merely employes and in their previous engagements with the law they have been cleared because of | their status as employes instead of owners. Whether they can maintain their innocence under the new pad- lock provisions remains to be de- cided when their respective Broad- | Wi ttractions are traneferred to federal court. They probably will be arraigned on Monday. Tex Guinan said she learned in a spiritualist seance on Sunday night that bad news was on the way. Maj. Maurice Campbell, prohibi- tion administrator here and instig: tor of the padlock proceedings, was asked the why of the sudden activity | of his men. To Stop Sale “To stop the sale of liquor,” he replied laconically. “Do you expect to dry up New Yo the major was asked. “l can make no predictions.” Miss McDONOUC TO SPEAK Attorney Thomas F.
