EFFECT OF NEW DRY LAW WILL BE LIGHT fJJMAIIA Nebraskans Have Been Pre paring for Federal Prohibi- tlon Since 1917, When - - State Went Dry. " Federal enforcement of the con stitutional prohibition amendment became operative in Omaha last night at 12:01, when the nation simi larly became amenable to this law. Omahans and Nebraskans hate been rettinf ready for this since May 1, 1917, when Nebraska went into the "dry column." If misery likes eompany, Omaha is "tickled to death" to have so much, company. , The manufacture of any liquor containing one-half of 1 per cent of alcohol is prohibited, and this, ap plies to cider and grape juice. It has been said that some cider sold in Omaha has at least a 1 per cent kick. To be safe, Omahans are con. sidering diluting their cider with water. s i Liquora obtained before May 1, 1917, may be kept in homes without violation of the national prohibitory amendment. T-Tin nnrWfi mjv now be used for carrying peanuts, candy, money, or may be dispensed with entirely. Physicians, are restricted to one pint per person per month when- pre scribing, alcoholic liquora for patients. , Health authorities predict an in creasing mortality on account of snake bites this year. ' James H. Hanley, Omaha lawyer, who has been appointed director of prohibition enforcement in Nebraska, will begin his work at once. He will have' several assistants and his work wilt be to obtain co-operation of city, county and state officials in the en forcement of the law. He will ap pear before commercial clubs, civic organizations, churches and Other bodies, making appeals for observ ance and explaining the penalties for violations. He will also obtain evi dence to be used by the prosecuting officers of this district, which is in charge of A. II. Larson of Denver. Previous to the appointment of Mr. Hanley, the federal prohibition en forcement has been in charge of J. J. Gitlan of the; local internal revenue offices. Mr. ; Gillan has turned his records over -'to Mr. .Hanley. Mr. Gillan estimated that there are 300 stills in operation in Douglas county, 50 being on the South Side, and he predicted grief for these violators. Special agents working out of Mr. Larson's Denver office will operate in Nebraska in connection with Mr. Hanley's department. Mr. Hanley will maintain his head quarters in the federal building.
