NEW MEASURES LAUNCHED TO MAKE U.S. ‘DRY’ Steps Taken to Clamp Lid on Smuggling and Breweries BY WILLIM P. FLYTHE Universal Service Correspondent. Washington. Oct. 22.—The United States plans to put an agent In every brewery and distillery to atop leaks, and to Increase border patrola suf ficiently to stop smuggling. The treasury department an nounced this Monday as the admin istration’s plan to enforce the “dry” law. The details were made public by Secretary of the Treasury Mellon and were said to have the aprroval of President Coolidge as the logical means of furnishing the fullest means of co-operation with the states. It was revealed for the first time that the government considers the number of "dry" agents far inad equate to cope with the situation and uiai an additional appropriation will be asked for this purpose, as well as for the purpose of enlarging the coast and bolder patrol. New York Illustration In atates where local officials are not Inclined to oc-operate, or state laws are In conflict with federal laws, the government plans to put a suf ficient number of men to cope with the situation without local aid. It was stated. New York was used as an illustration. It was said that in a greater maj- ^ ority of the states, the federal gov- * eminent expects such a full measure of local co-operation that It will be able to withdraw a large number of t "dry" agents and concentrate them elsewhere. This force also will be augmented bjfc the additional "dry” agents which .congress will be asked to authorize. The treasury pointed out that by far the greatest source of liquor sup plies in the United States Is from smuggling, and that when this is cheeked the situation will be well in hand. It cannot be checked with the small forces now available. It was stated, and the coast guard will ask for additional men and fast small craft to chase the rum runners from the American coasts. Along -the' border it is planned greatly to aug ment the customs guard for the same purpose. Illegal Withdrawals Lgrge. Next to smuggling it was said the large sources of supply are the brew eries and the distilleries, or storage warehouses. In spite of what the treasury described as the most ef fective permit system which can be worked out, large quantities of liquors, industrial alcohol, and beer are illegally withdrawn. The secretary would place a man in each brewery to be sure that all real beer manufactured is dealcohol ized and that only local permits for withdrawals are honored. When this system is perfected, it was stated, the state and city of ficials will find that' they will have only the ‘‘hip pocket” bootlegger to contend with and he may be best handled by the local police. Experts are now at work estimat ing how much money will be re quired to carry out the program. Suit Filed Against .

FORBES MUCH EXCITED OVER BUREAU PROBE Senator Reed Forced to Squelch Former Director at Hearing BY COLE E. MORGAN Universal Service Correspondent Washington, Oct, 22—Col.' Charles Forbes, former director, .vas silenced and ordered to take his seat twice Monday when he dramitically inter rupted the proceedings of the veterans bureau investigation ueiore a special senate committee. Senator Reed, of Pennsylvania, -chairman of the committee, warned Forbes that he would either have to keep silent until such time as the committee was ready to hear him, or absent himself from the proceedings. The chairman and associate members of the committee, Senators Walsh of Massachusets, and Qddle, plalnlyevl denced their displeasure at Forbes’ Interruptions. Reed made it plain that he would not tolerate further trans gressions on the proceedings from the former director. Under Heavy Strain ^ Forbes displayed marked agitation, ehowlng signs of being under a high nervous tension and retsrained him self with apparant difficulty. His Interruptions were to object to the line of evidence being introduced as reflecting on hi sadmlnlsiratton of the bureau, previous to last March when he retired. He spoke In a highly ex cited tone and continued talking even after being ordered to sit down. The first Interruption came at the very outset of the proceedings when Maj. Gen. F. O’Ryan, counsel for the committee, started reading, a pre pared statement outlining the case he Intends to present. The first sen tences of this statement declared: “During the year 1922 and the early part of 1923 the United States veter ans’ bureau was not functioning ef fectively. Great sums of money were being expended for the relief of the disabled veterans.” When O'Ryan reached this point. Forbes, seated at the opposite end of the long counsel table, Jumped to his feet and entered an objection. He was told he would be given^ an op ■Jtortunlty to be heard at the proper time. He Insisted fgi his objection being recorded, asserting that he had come 3,000 miles to defend himself and Ills administration. Forbes Not cin Trial Chairman Reed replied that this was not a tVlal of Colonel Forbes or any other individual, adding: "if any person is reflected on in the course of these hearings that person will be given opportunity to explain or contradict any evidence.” •Forbes again Injected himself into the proceedings late in the afternoon when O’Ryan was presenting evi dence concerning certain employes on the bureau payroll who, he asserted, were there apparently for the sole purpose of providing them with Jobs. O’Ryan was questioning Brig. Gen. Frank T. Hines, present director of the bureau, concerning the employ ment of FVancis B. Smith, or Cali fornia, who- he declared was on the payroll as a consulting architect at $2,800 a year from August 2?. 1922 to April 2. 1923, during whleh time it was alleged he rendered service to the bureau of only a Mv hours on two occasions. Asked to Keep Quiet Senator Walsh inquired who em ployed him. Forbes leaped to his feet and replied: “I employed him. O’Ryan declared he was frank to say he believed Smith was put on the payroll “merely to give him a Job.” Forbes, still standing and viably agitated, Interjected: “He Is a consulting engineer mak ing $25,000 a year and was consulted a number of ‘times.” O’Ryan turned to Chairman Reed and vigorously objected to the inter iHipttons from Forbes. R$ed said to Forbes: “Colonel Forbes, we will have to ask you to keep quiet. As we’ve told you before, you will be given an op portunity to be heard.” "But the evid.)ice all seems to bo directed against my previous ad ministration.” Forbes rejoined, add ing: “I came 3,000 miles to attend sel is representing that everythin*, that has been done to Improve the bureau has been accomplished' by General Hines. I hold that I accom plished what he says he has brought about.” Chairman Reed evidencing impa tieace and with a tone of command, said to Forbes: “We can’t have any further inter ruportions from you. You must sit ^ and remain quiet until you are given an opportunity to be heard.” Forbes took his seat, nervously mopping his brow. Throughout the day he took copious notes on the evidence introduced. •4 -4 4 LIVING COSTS UP. 4 4- -4 * 4- Washington, Oct. 22.—Cost 4 4- of living in the United States, 4 4- based on the average for 32 4 4- cities, reported today by the 4 4 bureau of labor statistics, in.- 4 4 creased 1.4 per cent In the 4 4 three months from June to 4' ♦ September.
