MODIFIED DRY
LAW IN SWEDEN
SATISFACTORY
Stockholm (IP) "The Swedish
alcohol restriction system Is jvorkin
very satisfactorily," Robert Carlson,
acting managing director ot the al
cohol monopoly, declared In an ex
clusive United Press interview
"Drunkenness has decreased consid
erably since the introduction of the
Bratt restriction scheme and con
siderable progress has been made on
the road towards educating the
Swedish people to consume alcohol
in reasonable quantities only," he
added.
"We do not claim t.iat our system
Is perfect," he continued. "Hence we
do not close our eyes to the fact
that there are, of course, some
weak spots in the system. We know
very well, for Instance that boot
legging is carried out on a large
scale and that especially the Stock
holm "skaergarden with its count
less Isles and small canals offers a
splendid opportunity for smuggling.
This illegal alcohol trade represents
a real danger but we are hopeful of
getting it under control.
"What matters more, however,
than this disadvantage is the fact
that, by means of the Bratt restric
tion system, we were able to de
crease the number of cases of abuse
of alcohol. Whoever is found not
able to regulate his alcohol con
sumption in a decent way for him
self Is excluded from the purchase
of alcohol for a certain length ol
time-, varying according to the grav
ity or the case by the local monop
oly. After this time has elapsed, the
person in question may apply to get
back his or her 'passbook' ana. on
receipt of this, can buy a limited
quantity of alcohol at the monopoly
shop of the district.
"It is this individual treatment
that Is characteristic of the Bratt
system, he amount of liquor which
Is granted to any Swedish citizen
varies in accordance with his indi
viduality, age, economic conditions,
etc. The maximum quantity ol
strong spirits, i brandy, whisky, etc.)
allowed is lour litres per month. The
home consumption of light Deer and
wine is not limited by the Bratt
system. Foreigners residing in Swe
den are, of course, also entitled to
buy and consume alcohol along sim
ilar lines. The consumer is always at
liberty to select the special kind of
alcohol he desires."
Dr. M. Marcus, general secretary
of the monopoly, supplemented
these observations by discussing the
theoretical side or the system.
"The aim of the Bratt scheme Is
a limitation of the individual al
cohol consumption, not an entire
prohibition," Dr Maiciu declared.
Although there is no cooperation
between the Swedish alcohol mo
nopoly and the respective restric
tion or prohibition authorities In
other countries," Dr. Marcus con
tinued, "we have been watching the
development in the United States
and the other Scandinavian coun
tries with great interest.
"While we would never think of
recommending our system as suita
ble to other nations, we do not hes
itate to declare that, in our opinion.
the Bratt system is best lor Sweden.
We are considering some changes
of the schemes, but all of them are
of minor character only. Considered
in its entirety, we are content with
the workinn or our system ana
would not exchange it for any oth
er."

fire box, and retained to find the
flames rnd smoke roaring up the
staircase. Before patrons and em
ployes were aware of their danger.
the fire was upon them. A cigar
ette girl was suffocated by the hot
fumes as she stood in the center of
the dance floor and dropped down
over her tray. Her body was found
by firemen.
Many patrons rushed for safety
into a small dressing room, seven by
fifteen feet, in the rear of the
building. Thirty oi them were found
piled unconscious in the tiny space
wnen iiremen broke Into the room.
Several of them were dead. Others
were badly injured.
The interior of the building was
ruined, but the exterior presented
an almost unblemished appearance
save for broken windows and fire
escape which hangs useless, a mock
ery to those who ventured U trust
it as an exit.
PROPRIETOR ABSENT
Marty Cohen, proprietor of the
club, and Robert Jackson, master of
ceremonies, were c:oseteo with po
nce raoay morning. Cohen at
tributed the fire to rivals In busi
ness. The Study club had been o Der
ating ior aoout a year and had pros
pered, situated on vernor highway,
about six blocks from the heart of
the city and Just off Woodward
Ave., the main north and south ar
tery of Detroit,, it had acquired
wioe reputation. -
Cohen was not In the place at the
time of the fire. Another night club,
tne Lido, had its openlne Thursday
night and he nad gone to partici
pate, ne toid police.
Firemen who tried to enter the
building through windows, found the
window openings had been covered
on the Inside with wall board. All
windows tn the second floor had
thus been closed, they asserted.
As firemen and volunteer rescuers
carried out victims, taxlcabs. which
had been parked In a lot next to the
building took them to hospitals.
Squads of ambulauces arrived soon
after the fire apparatus.
MANY SUFFOCATE
At Receiving hospital 20 men and
30 women were checked in within an
hour alter the outbreak ot the lire.
Other hospitals In the city cared
for other injured. Nurses, internes
and physicians were sent to Ke-
ceiving hospital to Aid in treating
the injured. Many with slight burns
and superficial injuries were given
first aid and sent home.
Some of the victims were dead on
arrival at the hospitals. Most of the
fatalities, physicians said, resulted
from suffocation. Indentincation oi
the dead was difficult because of
the badly burned clothing and the
disfigurement which follows eui lo
cation.
State and city fire commissioners
investigating the blaze with the po
lice declared that they could find no
evidence that the fire was of incen
diary origin. Draperies and light
flimsy decorations they said, ac
counted for the rapid spread of the
flames. Ventilating fans and the ar
chitecture of the building sped the
flames on their mission of death and
devastation.
BODIES UNIDENTIFIED'
The bodies- of four women lie in
the county morgue -unidentified
Their clothing was burned off and
the charred And blackened condi
tion of their bodies will make iden
tification difficult. Of the nine men
who were killed, eight have been
identified.
Some of the patrons of the estab-
llshment found thjlr way to the
roof of the rear section of the build
ing and were carried down by fire-
men, or, becoming panicky, jumped
to the ground. Many suffered brok
en legs.
The building Is three stories high
in the front and a two-story addi
tion had been built on the rear. The
main dining room occupied most of
the second floor. The kitchen was
on the first floor.
The fire came at the peak of the
night's business. Patrons who had
dropped in for a luncheon after the !
theater had just settled themselves ;
to the enjoyment of the entertain
ment which was offered by the club
when the dread cry of "fire" came.
Louis Kanta, 19 year old sand
wich boy, from his bed in Receiving
hospital, gave a clear account of
what occurred as the panic broke. '
"I was just getting ready to close
up, he said. "I was reaching up on
the ice box for my keys when a por
ter ran yelling through the room
back of the dining room where I was
working. I looked Into the dining
room. Flames were shooting from
the private rooms at the front. They
spread rapidly and swept toward the
kitchen. Everyone was cut off from
escape. The only place left to run
was the dressing room.
TERROR RULES MOB
"Everyone went wild. Women
were screaming and men yelling
Everyone was tearing around the
room, knocking over chairs and any
thing that got in their way. I ran
toward the dressing room with a lot
of others. We were packed in so
tightly we could hardly move. We
shut the door and could hear the
flames outside.
"I laid down on the floor but peo
ple began trampling me and I stood
up. The smoke choked me and 1 laid
down again. There was a woman ly
ing next to me. I heard her calling
'Rose; Rosle we'll die together." I
think she did die. There was an
other woman lying on the other side
of me. I think she was dead,"
The body ot a woman, at-first
Identified &s that of Bubbles Parker.
