PROHIBITION LAW
(United Press Association —By Electric Telegraph—Copyright.) WASHINGTON, Feb. 20. According to Senator McKellar, who made tire charge in a letter to members of the Nashville (Tennessee) Bar, prohibition has never been enforced because the Secretary of the Treasury “has never really tried to enforce it, nor has any President, except for political reasons, been really interested in its enforcement.” Senator McKellar says: “I am opposed to any weakening on the prohibition law. Whenever we have a President who is sincerely in favour of this law’s enforcement, it will be enforced as well as other Federal laws.” STATEMENT BEFORE COMMITTEE. NEW YORK, Feb. 20. Mr Grayson Murphv, director of several largo business corporations in New York City, told the Judiciary Committee of the House of Representatives, which is holding open prohibition hearings, that ho did pot know a leading financier, banker,' industrial-
ist or manufacturer who did not break the “dry” laws. Mr Miichener: Well, how about Henry Ford ? “I do not know him?” witness replied, amid laughter from the packed committee room.
