ALCOHOL GRAFT PLOT REVEALED Con1inIe4 from paga 1) the treasury, who has charge of prohibition enforcement, declar ing: "General Andrews is the best thing that ever happened for pro hibition." Alcohol diversion has decreased, he said, since' Andrews "took that situation by the throat" last Sep tember. Taking the alcohol dis tilleries arund New York alone, be est im at 3d that General An drews' "alohol Squad had reduced diversions '.o the point where the bootleg traffic had been lessened in the sum total of 1216,000.000 in potential sales. The district attorney disclosed that bootleg alcohol from this country finds its way into Canada. "The dry United States is ex porting bootleg industrial alcohol into Canada," he said, "to help the Canadian boiotleggers beat the Canadian government out of taxes." . Getting back to his own district, Mr. Buckner told of improvement there since he took office thirteen months ago. He declared that at that time he had found the federal building "a seething mass of fix ers," bootleggers, wtiters and oth ers arrested , on charges . of , law. violation. Federal judges told him. he add ed, that the "very atmosphere of the building breathed of collu 3?' m 1 2r- aiwrKi , - . .Pall'. . i'rr .uali a J r r f - it sion." and. he also had Information that Jury fixing went on within the federal building ItselL : Arrests ?. for ,: J petty offenses against the prohibition law total led about 50,000 a year, he said, adding that the New York city police commissioner had told nim that he received 180,000 com plaints a year, directed mostly against "speak easies. and that of course he had to act upon tnem, The. thousands the police ar rest are only a small fraction of those who violate the law, are they not?" asked Senator Reed, "Probably," Buckner said. "How small a fraction T"' pur sued. Senator Reed. "I could not say; I have made no estimate." "As a matter of fact are there not millions of violations In New York city every year?" Senator Reed insisted. "I will not commit myself on that," Buckner replied. Buckner said bootleg whiskey seised by prihibition officers, the district attorney said his chemists found traces of poison in $8 .per cent of it. "The character of this liquor depends upon the conscience and technique of the bootlegger," he declared, as the spectators roared with laughter. Attorney Buckner disclosed that an investigation of the drug stores of New York showed that they drew out of the bonded warehouses twice as much liquor as the physicians of New York could prescribe on the legiti mate prescription blanks issued to them at the rate of 100 every three months. Assuming that the drug gists sold the pure stuff, he esti mated total possible legal sales on prescriptions at 240,000 gallons a year, and said the records showed withdrawals of 480,000 gallons by the 500 drug stores ia greater New York licensed to dispense whiskey.
