STRONG Al METHODS BY DRY AGENTS Legal Advisor of California Resigns, Account of Alleged 'Roughhouse Tactics' Vio lence in Raids Charged and Rights of Citizens Invaded Letter Charges. SAN FRANCISCO, April 9. Wil liam J. Gloria has resigned as legal adviser to Samuel K. Rutter, federal prohibition director for California, as a protest against recent alleged "roughhouse" methods of proniDi tlon agents and what he terms "Rut ter's failure to punish agents guilty of unwarranted offenses," according to n story appearing In today s San Francisco Examiner. The Examiner quotes Gloria as saying: "I believe in the strictest enforce ment of the federal prohibition law along the lines set down by President Harding and Commissioner Haynes, namely, enforcement with reason. I am quitting the prohibition offioe be cause I am not In sympathy with the strong arm methods countenanced by the present administration." Gloria Is further quoted as saying that he will not go to the prohibition director's office today. His written resignation which the paper declares was forwarded to Rut ter late yesterday, is reported to have said: "I do not believe in methods of enforcement of the prohibition law which result in violnting the sanctity of womanhood and the inalienable rights which are Inherent to citizen ship in a free country. "I have waited patiently, .but in vain, for you to take the proper dis ciplinary action against these men, but as yet your disciplinary action is conspicuous only by Its absence." The phrase "violating the sanctity or womanhotid," is said to'refer to al?' leged violence by prohibition agents while arresting women charged with4 violating the Volstead amendment. In a raid on a local club a few days ago, two prohibition agents are alleged to have beaten Clarence Lewis, a steward, until other agents forced them to desist. Four days after this raid, Rutter . held a conference with his agents be hind closed doors. The Examiner quoted an unnamed agent as saying thut In this conference Rutter tulked "straight from the shoulder" and warned the agents to cease fighting among themselves, declaring thnt he would eliminate the "Irreconcilables" from the force. He is said to have told the agents that he would tolerate no unnecessary roughness .in raids, but that he did not expect his men to allow themselves to ho beaten up be fore thry started fighting back. Gloria took offioe ten months ago as successor to Samuel M. Short ridge, Jr. Abatement proceedings In stituted by Gloria have resulted In closing many bootlegging establish ments in the stute and for this work he recently was praised by Prohibi tion Commissioner Haynes. Gloria's statement was said by Ohlcf Enforcement Officer Rutter to be "111 advised." "Gloria's resignation came after I followed Instructions from the de . pnrtment which divided the respon sibilities of this office," Rutter said. "The orders called for a new : man to sit in as arbiter In tho abatement cases while Gloria merely was to col lect evidence. Before the receipt of the orders he had held both posi tions. "Tho statement that the Banctity of O'omcn was endangered by the dry agents In their raids, arose appar ently from the fact that Agent Wheeler was charged In Los Angeles with conducting a raid there In which a woman was supposed to have been mistreated. Agent Wheeler was cleared without being called upon to put up a defense. "The charges that rough tactics were being used by some of tho agents hero in recent raids are being properly handled."
