FRIDAY, APRTL, 22, 1921. THE : OREGON DAILY JOURNAL. PORTLAND, OREGON DAUGHERTY GIVES HIS VIEWS UPON T DRY ENFORCE M F N By Robert J. Bender I'nitcd News SUff Correspondent Washington, April 22. It appears that the trials and tribulations em braced In prohibition enforcement are to fall largely upon the shoulders of the department of Justice. Secre tary of the Treasury Mellon has Indi cated that it is his purpose to recom mend a construction of work under , Attorney General Daugherty, and while Daugherty does not anticipate the responsibility with any keen eagerness, he is not, he says, "run ning away from it." It was Interesting, therefore,, to get "from Dauherty some of his views upon .the prohibition enforcement situation as It exists in the country today. In the first place, while sure that Mel lon would be glad to relieve him of the burden now placed upon him in sharing. mrougn me internal revenue commit ioner under him, the responsibility at tached to keeping the country "dry, Daugherty believes that before his de partment can be handed the burden. congress must act in the matter. FALSE PERMITS BILK PUBLIC . Meantime, however, apparently in an ticipation of falling heir to this new and troublesome duty, Daugherty is making a broad study of the various chases to the problem. Already he has oiscovereo .two- tnirrgs : r irsi mat some one, or more, are carrying on a profitable trade in liquor 'permits in wmcn the parched public is 'teing DHKed. Second That the larger cities in xne country are rinding their courts swamped with prohibition business and come relief must be effected. Third That state action toward nm Jubition enforcement can be made "very neipruu On the first point Daugherty had the xollowlng to say: "Sales of permits for liquor are be- jngr rrauouientiy made In ISew York and ' elsewhere. The claim Is beinj? made by those sellinjr these, permits that they can be obtained from the department of justice. " Of course this department has nothing to do with the issuance of such permits and the people Interested are be ing deceived. We ' are investigating these sales now." COU.B.T8. MUST BE HELPED On the second point, the matter of prohibition cases clogging the courts in large cities, i where numerous cases of more importance are pending, Daugherty declared he has ordered a careful in quiry to see! what might be done to re lieve the situation. He believed that in such cities as New York, (Chicago, fat. Louis. Detroit. Kansas City. San Fran cisco, Milwaukee, St. Paul and Indianap olis, some measures of relief would have to be afforded the courts soon. He was not sure as to the exact rem edy to be applied but he stated that he was investigating whether there could not be established through con gressional authority in the leading cities. a commissioners court, inferior to the ex isting courts in status, to try nothing but prohibition cases. Congress, he explained, would have, to endow the courts with their necessary powers and permit their summoning ju ries. I Judge Goff. assistant to Daugh erty. is working on the problem and he nas aavancea tne possiDie alternative or increasing the number of federal judges in congested districts. Yap Is Essential To American Aims, Says U. S. Admiral Washington, April 22. Success of the American contentions against Japan for the internationalization of the island of Tap is indispensable to American com mercial as well as strategic aims, in the Pacific. Admiral William S. Benson de clared today. Admiral j Benson was chief of opera tions during the war and is a recognized authority on naval strategy. He also is a member i of the international com munications congress which has under consideration the disposition of the former German cables, including those which operate through Yap. "Yap is the only connecting link across the Pacific by which we can se cure cable communications with China and our island possessions," said the admiral. "By reason of great depths in the Pacific, which do not permit unre layed cables, it is necessary under pres ent conditions for our cable messages to bo sent through foreign offices where. of course, they can be read by foreign interests. ir lap were internationalized we could maintain our cable relay station there, and uninterrupted communication from the United States to Pacific pos sessions as well as China could be se cured. "Business secrets and such messages as our military policy demand could thus be kept free from foreign inspec tion.' ... . . : Neither Wife Will File Against Hubby Jersey City. X. J April 22. (U. P.)- Indications today were that Herbert Thornton Andrews, broker, who was living here with two wives, will not be indicted by the grand Jury.
