IIP LIQUOR TRAFFIC SAYS
DIRECTOR DISMUKE
Atlanta, Ga., June 9.—Declaring the
public la “beginning to wake up to the
fact that the only way to control the
liquor traffic 1( by imposing fines and
sentences on convicted bootleggers
that will force them out of business,”
Fred D. Dlsmuke, prohibition direc
tor Georgia, has made public the re
port of his department for the month
of May, showing a material Increase
In tbe amount of property, liquor and
stiils destroyed by prohibtlon agents
In this state, over any month In tbe
present year.
The report shows that 196 stills
were destroyed, tout 3,269 gallons of
whiskey were confiscated, that six au
tomobiles alleged to have been used
for toe transportation of liquor were
seized and that the department prose
cuted 186 case. The total value of the
property destroyed during May was
estimated at $50,872.35.
These figures not only show a mark
ed Increase over other montbs this
year, but also show a tremendous gain
over Mar ot 1921, when ninety-one
stills were destroyed, 576 gallons of
liquor were poured out, eight automo
biles confiscated, and 135 prosecutions
handled. The total value of tbe prop-
erty destroyed In May, 1921, was only
$14,192.50, less than one-third the
amount destroyed in May, 1922, ac
cording to Mr. Dismuke's figures-
conditions have lm
proved very much in every section of
tbe state with respect to prohibition
enforcement. He stated that whiskey
is much harder to buy now than at any
time since the advent of prohibition
and that the bottleggers were very
careful in their dealings. He attribut
ed this state ol affairs to tbe heavy
fines and jail sentences sentences that
are being Imposed by judges.
He declared that prohibition agents
in Savannah have succeeded In ma
terially reducing tbe amount of whls
key brought in by boat and carried out
by rail, by stated that more whiskey
is transported by rail now than by any
other method.
With respecl to the recent speech of
Judge Arthur G- Powell, president of
the Georgia Bar Association at the
recent convention of that body at Ty.
bee, Ga., In which Judge Powell Btroug-
ly condemned the prohibition law and
the methods of enforcement, Mr. Dls-
muke said.
“I tbink Judge Powell's speech has
already been replied to In an ample
manner by various disinterested men
| will say, however, that they seem to
believe It a good thing, and that it
tbe time ever came again to vote on
the issue they would keep liquor out,
“With regard to our methods of en
forcing toe law, 1 will say that the
seizure of automobiles In which liquor
is transported Is strictly within the
law. and tbat the searching of private
homes is done under direct and lm-
pllcit directions from the attorney gen.
eral and federal judges in the state.
No search is ever made without
search warrant Issued by tbe United
Commenting on tbe report, Mr. Die- States commissioner."
