New York Restocking
Supply of Home Brew
Following New Year
New York, Jan. 9. An epidemic
of home brewing and distilling U
prevalent in New jork ciiy today,
according- to the police, at a remit
of the depletion of stocks of home
made intoxicants by celebrations
during the holiday season. The fire
department agrees with the police
view. It had to combat fires today,
several of them serious, resulting
from the explosions of 10 stills in
operation in various parts of the
aty. '
In fighting the fires seven firemen
were injured, five of them so serious
ly as to necessitate their being sent
to hospitals.
Arrests were made by the police
in such cases as they were able to
collect sufficient evidence following
the explosions and fires, to justify
the charge of violation of the state
prohibition enforcement act.
