PinchotPromise‘BlackHorse7 roop ’
Will Teach U.S. How to Fight Booze
By EDWARD THIERRY
HARRISBURG, Pa., March 6.—A
dark cloud hangs over the bootleg
ging industry of Tennsylania.
The cloud is the '‘Black Horse
Troop”—Pennsylvania’s famous state
constabulary—the powerful weapon
Governor Gifford Pinchot is going to
use to make the wettest of wet states
dry.
“Military police can do it where
jOpderal agents and city policemen
failed,” says Pinchot.
Pennsylvania has no prohibition
enforcement law and Pinchot, just
become governor, is jamming one
through the legislature. He calls it
his “booze bill”—and it has teeth in
it. When this law back of him and
the picturesque, hard-riding, hard
boiled fighting men of the constabu
lary to enforce it, he figures the
state will dry before the year ends.
“The campaign is mapped out—in
military fashion,” says Major Lynn
G. Adams, commander of constab
lary. “We’ll give ’em something they
never saw before.”
Adams looks as if he meant it. K'e
has a marble-like jaw, a flinty eye
and a hard voice. K'e makes a good
teammate for the soft-spoken, though
vigorous acting, Pinchot.
“Booze was the first plank in my
platform,” said Pinchot. “The state
is rotten with booze, but it can be
cleaned up. We’re going to show the
federal government how —with a law

that bites and the constabulary to
make the teeth marks show.
• “Pennsylvania has a license law.
that is a joke. It practically legal-
. | izes liquor in spite of the eighteenth
j amendment because it recognizes the
! saloon. License court yearly grants
: licenses for from S3OO to S6O0 —pre-
i: umably for the sale of near-beer! It
[makes Pennsylvania a laughing
stock.”
The queer paradox of saloon lic
! ensing in spite of federal prohibition
[ is illustrated in the fact that ’’udges
in several counties have solemnly
; withheld licenses until the legislature
[disposes of the Pinchot booze, bill.
I’e.insylvania has 200 breweries. It
[has many bonded warehouses. Boot
-1 leg liquor is manufactured in such
i gieat qquanfitics that sewers have
had to be dug up to ciear mash con
[ge-tion.
■‘The constabulary i ; an emergency
police force,“ said Major Adams. “Wo
[ call booze an emergency crime along
i with murder, lynching, etc. One out
. Inst year had something to do with
■booze. We had 1401 liquor law
violators out of 14,246 arrests. Bub
We had no enforcement law to back
us up, 2nd the courts were not with
us.”
Major Adams has 370 men in the
constabulary. Most of them are
mounted, and some use motorcycles
and automobiles. They are mostly ,
ex-army men. The Pennsylvania
constabularly is 17 years old, is the
! most feared arm of the law in the
rtate, and is the model after which
the constabulary of New York state
was patterned.
