PAGE THREE HEAVY FINES AND PRISON SENTENCES Will BREAK 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." rT Rain Rain Rain Don't forget that Raincoat, Rain Suit, Rubber Boots, Poncho, Tarpaulin or Pup Tent, when it rains.
