RASKOB PLANS SHOWDOWN ON LUi SIDE DRY FARCE SUPPRESSED Senate Acts To Secure Full Story of Wickersham Findings Wisconsin Pictured Sensationally Milwaukee Sheriff Willing But Intoxicated Rich Talks Flayed. WASHINOTON, D. C, Teh 21. () The senate adopted with out debate a resolution by Sen nflor TydlugH, Democrat, Mary land, tin opponent of prohibition, demamlinK the Wickersham com mission's reasons for withholding any information as to prohibition enforcement In the lti other states and the District of Columbia. Word camp from commission headquarters that "less than half the data upon which its conflict ing prohibition report was based hud been submitted to the sen ate and that the portion trans mitted was tho "less sensational" part. One commissioner explained this as arising from "a natural in clination" on the part of some witnesses to "paint a rosier pic ture" In public statements than In private affidavits. The com mission was requested In the pre vious senate resolution only, fop Its "non-secret" data. . Meanwhile, a survey ot the ma terial already before the senate disclosed a bewildering variety of reports upon conditions in the 32 states touched upon. Prohibition enforcement conditions in six states, were assailed as extreme ly bad. Wisconsin was pictured ns provided with a "flood .of in toxicants." ' t Eleven, of the states were de- scribed an having" almost entirely satisfactory ; enforcement, while liquor available, but in an appar ently diminishing quantity. Reports to the commission' on 1 B states showed a confusing .dif ference of opinions as to condi tions, with all subjects to some form of criticism as to conditions under the dry laws. Among tho states not included In the stli'veys were several gen erally conceded to be "wet" . In sentiment, Including New York. Maryland, Massachusetts and New Jersey, The most sensational report sub mitted was upon Wisconsin, It said "liquor has always been plen tiful'' there and listed hotels and shows near Milwaukee where It said large scnle gambling was con ducted "which police undoubtedly do not dare molest." It cited cor ruption among officials and the permitted existence in some cities of open "red light districts." The report was prepared by Frank lluckley, attorney for the prohibi tion bureau before Its transfer to the Justice department. "The sheriff of Milwaukee coun ty has the best Intentions In the world," tho report said, "and fur nishes nsslstance whenever re quired. The latter officer, how ever, la not regarded as depend able because of being himself al most constantly Intoxicated. Dur ing tho Republican celebration at Nippon two persons out of 20,000 were drunk, one ot whom was the sheriff. "Most towns anil cities through out the slate contain their allot ment of 'soft drink parlors' duly licensed ns such by local authori ties. Ueer, whiskey, or 'shine may be obtained In practically any of such resorts." A report upon Oklahoma charg ed former Governor Holloway, di rectly with responsibility for lax enforcement, adding that the at titude of officials In some sections was "vicious." Tho Kentucky report told . of widespread drinking among young people while one witness charged the wealthy classes wl'h "offen sive" drinking. A similar report of general dry law breaking nmong the rich came from Florida.
