Representative Christopherson, him self a lawyer and author of the pro posed bill, said the measure would prevent district attorneys from pro ceeding to grand Juries with Informa tion of alight violation* first placed before the commissioners and upon which defendant refused to plead guilty. The Jones law leaves to the discre tion of district attorneys and grand Jarles to say what constitutes “casual or slight” violations <rf tha national prohibition law. **If the casual or slight violator demands a jury trial,” said Representative Christopherson. “the district attorney mnst place be fore the grand Jury an entirely new aet of evidence to bring Indictment and liability to the Jones law penal ties.” The house committee, considering transfer of enforcement machinery from the Treasury to the Department of Justice, voted 10 to 7 to leave con trol of Industrial alcohol with Secre tary Mellon's department.
