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."

Yolanda, Eldest Daughter of
Italy's King Recomes Bride
'of Cavalry Captain Civil
and Religious Ceremony
Held.
ROME, April 9. (By the Asso
ciated Press.) Princess Yolanda,
oldest daughter of King Victor Em.
nianuel and Queen Helena, was mar
ried today to Count Calvl dl Bergolo,
a captain ot cavalry, who holds a dec
oration for bravery In the world war.
The civil ceremony, which took
place at 10:30 o'clock in the grand
hall of the Quirlnal palace, was fol
lowed by tile religious rites In the
Pauline chapel, also within the Qulr-
inal. Because of the recent death of
the princess' maternal grandmother,
Queen Milena of Montenegro, the ser
vices were simple.
The grand hall presented a bril
liant spectacle today, augmented by
the colorful uniforms of the 700 high
state and municipal dignitaries.
The king and queen occupied the
center of the mammoth salon, with
the bride and bridegroom at the right
and the dowager Queen Margherlta
at the left. Premier Mussolini, act
ing as the crown notary, came next,
while Senator Tittonl, president ot
the senate, filled the role of civil of
ficer of the crown.
Princess Lolanda wore the tradi
tional white gown, with a train ot
old lace. Count dl Bergolo- was dress
ed in the uniform of a cavalry otlfcer.
On his dress were the medals he won
In the war.
Queen Helena, laying aside her
mourning for the occasion, wore a
grey dress, trimmed with lace., . .
The wedding guests comprised a
brilliant assemblage. Headed by the
holders of Italy's highest honor title i
the collar of the Aununzlata with
their wives, the witnesses of the brief
ceremony Included the ladles and
gentlemen of the court and of the
king's military and civil household,
the presidents of the chamber and
sunate and the members of tho cab
inet. The premier and other minis
ters belonging to the fasclstl national
militia wore the uniform of that or
ganization. Senator Tittonl opened the ceve
monles by reading the artlclos of the
Italian civil code that relate to mar
riage. He then addressed to the
I ride and bridegroom tho questions
required by the ritual, after which
the senate secretary read the act of
marriage. This was signed first by
the bridal pair, then by tho king nnd
queen and lastly by Count Dl Borgo
ll's close relatives. When tho signa
tures were affixed the sovereigns
arose and were the first to congratu
late their daughter and son-in-law.
After the fomal felicitations the
guests found their places In the wed
ding cortege for the brief journey to
the Pauline chapel which was being
used for a religious servlco for the
first time since 1870.
The religious marriage was sol
emnized by Monslgnor Boccnrla, the
court chaplain, who celebrated low
mass.
Most of) Princess Yolanda's tros
seau was collected long before her
engagement was announced. Follow
ing the custom of the old Italian fam
ilies and the tradition of tho house
of Savoy, she has had made 24 du
r licates of each garment, all In the
finest .handwork and exquisitely
trimmed. Much of the embroidery
was dono In convents.
Italy Is one of tho few countries
where hand made lace is still produc
ed In great quantities. Beautiful
Venttian point, Abruzzl lace, filet and
pillow lace are to be found In the
princess' trosseau, as she said that
not one stitch of her wedding outfit
should come from any country but
her own beloved Italy.
