“DRY” AGENTS CHARGED.
NEW YORK, Saturday. Twelve Prohibition agents have been arrested here on charge of being in illegal possession of liquor. Among the arrested is Mr. Clyde Cheeseman, an agent, who is described as one of the most active officials in the New York (N.J.) district, and he and others will be specifically charged with being in possession of over 2000 cases of beer, which were awaiting transfer from New Jersey to New York City. Recently fifty policemen of Cincinnati were indicted for alleged violations of tne Pronitiitlon law. The Daily Graphic, March 28, 1925, says:—“Prohibition leads to corruption and contempt for law. It is impracticable and cannot be enforced. It is farcical and dangerous. It merely prohibits sobriety among people who would otherwise be temperate. ’ ’ Keep New Zealand free from intemperance and corruption. Strike out the two bottom lines.
