THE BEE; OMAHA. SATURDAY, JANUARY IT, 1920.
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.
'.A plant in Esthonia is obtaining
more gas from shale than from a
similar quantity of coal and satis
factory results have been obtained
from experiments with firing loco
motives with shale.
