TUESDAY AFTERNOON, OCTOBER 21, 1924 ' Tumulty Calls Gov. Walker’s Charge False (Continued From Page One) ‘ every Presbyterian, every Metho dist and every other Protestant church.” Governor Walker refused Monday night to make any answe- to the Tumulty challenge, stating that he preferred to “sleep on it,” and it he had any statement to make, would make it* after due considera tion today. The governor did not deny that the text of the klan speech, as published last week, was correct, but said that ac was tired and worn out after a busy day and did not care to make a statement Monday night. Tumulty challenged the governor to prove his charges before any board of protestant ministers the governor may select. He offered to produce former Secretary of War Newton D. Baker and any officers as witnesses in his defense. “The statement of Governor Walker regarding my alleged war activities in behalf of the Catholic church is an unqualified falsehood,” Mr. Tumulty said in his telegram. “No member of that church, neith er a private in its rang, nor a mem ber of its priesthood, nor its hi erarchy, ever by the slightest sug gestion sought to control me in this or any other matter.” Mr Tumulty pointed out that if Methodist, Baptist or Presbyterians were discriminated against some of them ought to be able to tell about it, and he cha'’enged the governor to produce one Baptist, or Presbyter inn to do so. “Further,” said Mr. Tumulty, “I wish to say to Governor Walker that I am willing to meet him face to face in any part of Georgia and say to him in t v e presence of his '-wn people that the charge that the Cath olic church, in the slightest degree in any way during my time in the white house, sought to influence my conduct in this or any other matter, is deliberately false.” Mr. Tumulty referred to the Klan as “this un-American hooded ban 1 which Governor Walker has seen fit to associate himself with.” Too Late to Classify NORFOLK SELECT Oysters; Pure Pork Sausage, Spare Ribs, Veal and tender Porterhouse Steak.

U IR-^ JI JI H Prohibition Paying Cost of Enforcement in Fines Bootlegger Pays His Own Way to Prison, Says Commis sioner Haynes DAYTON, Oct. 20.—(8v The As sociated Press.)—“Over 65,900 bootleggers and moonshincis arrest ed by federal agents last year can testify that prohibition is being en forced,” said Federal Prohibition Commissioner R. A. Hayn??, speak- ing before the convention of the Dayton Council of Churches here recently. “This nufber does not, ol course, include the many thousands of arrests made by state, county and other local officials. That num ber will no doubt greatly exceed the arrests made by federal agents, since there are about a quarter of a million such officers, as compared with about 1500 federal men. The prohibition law is no respecter of persons. The wealthy bootlegger Remus, of Ohio, the socially promi nent La Montagnes of New York, and the politically influential of Gary, Indiana, and Pittsburg viola tors landed in cells just as did their poor bootlegging brothers. “We have made it more difficult for the illicit trade to get supplies today. The four principal souices of supply have been cut off. With drawals of whiskey on permits are only about one percent of the con sumption prior to prohibition, and very little is escaping into illicit channels. During the last fiscal year about 1,800,000 gallons of whiskey were released for medicinal purposes. In 1921, the first full fiscal dry year, there were released 8,671,860 gallons. The augmenta tion and increased efficiency of the coast guard is stopping the tide of smuggled liquors. While legiti mate business ‘is using more dena tured alcohol than ever, diversions to the bootleg trade are decreasing. In Philadelphia and New York, two of the most difficult centers, with drawals of specially denatured al cohol have been cut one-third in the last six months. Much of that di verted has been seized and destroy ed. The practice in some sections at first prevalent, of making illicit liquor in the home, has been prac tically discontinued, The results were not worth the trouble. “Moon shining’ as an illicit trade was struck some harsh blows during the last year. “In the 1925 fiscal year 158,132 stills and parts of stills and 14,346,- 649 gallons of distilled spirits, malt liquors, wine, cider, etc., were seized. In 1924 over 5,000 au tombiles and more than 230 boats illegally transporting liquor weie seized. In 1923, 3,977 automobiles and 134 boats were seized. “The above figures do not, of course, include seizures by state and other local officials. Where the state shave strong prohibition laws, oui- problem is fairly easy. States like New York, Maryland and Massachusetts, which have no state code, practically invite the liquor criminals. The federal force was never intended to police the United States.

CENTRAL OF GEORGIA RAILWAY The Right Way THE AMERICUS TIMES-RECORDER eration by local officials and sup ported by state laws, we have every reason to be proud of the record made in such short time. “Prohibition has not been a dram on the public purse. The appropri ation for enforcement of the prohi bition law last fiscal year was $8 - 350,000. Fines imposed on con victed violators were over $7,000,- 000, more than $5,000,000 of which bas already been collected and turned into the United States Treas • ury. Brewers paid into the treas ury nearly $1,000,000 last year in compromise of civil liabilities against them. To this should be added the amount of tax penalties imposed on violators, exact figures for which are not yet available. The bootlegger is paying his own fare to prison. Prohibition is not intend ed to produce revenue from fines. It is, however, paying its way in this respect. “Prohibition has not only repaid the cost of its enforcement, it has more than replaced the lest revenue from liquor licenses by stimulating legitimate business. Just as a work man can produce more and save more when he stops drinking, so ca na nation. The taxes paid from the increased productivity of indus try resulting from the dry law far exceed any possible revenue from liquor license. “There is infinitely less drinking now than before prohibition. Cer tain groups may be drinking more, but they are small in comparative numbers. “To the average thoughtful per son argument is not necessary to prove that enforcement of the pro hibition law is effective. Anyone, anywhere can see for this himself. But there is so much loose talking and loose writing about this subject that uninformed and unthinking people immediately conclude that prohibition is responsible for all the ills of the nation.” “Much has been accomplished, much remains to be accomplished, but when it is recalled that as a nation we have been dealing with this problem for only four years, whereas the legalized liquor indus try flourished for the preceding 143 years of the nation’s life, the pro gress already registered is certainly noteworthy, and if the successes could only be stressed as generally as the instances of partial failure, the progress would be immeasur ably speeded up.” NOTICE!
