Getting Liquor at Its
' 2 Source Most Irrlpor-
taut—Get Men Who
1 ”Are Making Money
By DAVID LAWRENCE.
(Special Correspondent
Of The Evening Sentinel.)
WASHlNG’l‘ON, Jan. 20.—Presl-
don't Coolidge does not condone the
carrying of a. flask of liquor on the
hip. An entirely erroneous impres-
\
.Whitie House today as a result of
the press conference there Friday.
Mr. Coolidge was simply trying to .
make a comparison between the
varying degrees of seriousness in
violating the Volstead law particu-
larly With respect to the penalties
that should be applied.
His attention had been called to
the provisions of the bill pending be-
fore Congress which would make it
mandatory for Judges to impose jail
sentences on first offenders who had
been convicted of violating the Vol-
stead law. The reason for this re-
quest on the part ofgtlie ‘drys"pis
that again men who'have been en-
gaged in ‘fbootlegglng" have pleaded
"first offense" and have been releas-
ed only to assume another name.
When convicted in another city they
‘ have again pleaded "first offense."
Likewise the men high up in the
. bootleg rings have taken advantage
of this loophole to engage new em-
ployees who if caught would not be
jailed because it was their “first of-
reuse."
In order to catch the “bootlegger”
and his lieutenants. however. - the
passage of a law compelling Judges
to impose Jail sentences on all first
offenders would make it necessary to
inflict such punishment on anyone
:whether he was involved in the traf-
fic of liquor or simply happened to
be can ht with a flask of liquor in
his or or possession. This, Mr.
Coolidge thinks. would be excessive.
He feels that there are many viola-
tions or the dry law ’wliich when
compared to others are not so ser-
ious. he supposes, for instance. that
the possession of a {leak might not
be serious whereas undertakinglo
make money out of the sale of liquor
would be more serious. ' " '
Both are violations of the law and
are strongly disapproved by the pres-
ident but for the first class of of-
fense the Judges are vested with a
certain disc ' ion and they can im-
pose jail sen nces wherever they
think the carrying of a flask of ii-
quo‘ is part'of an organized system
oi; transportation and sale.
The government cannot afford to
hire enough prohibition agents to
search: the persons or individuals
suspected oi“ carrying flasks. At no
time has such a policybecn contem-
plated. '.t'he government's program
has been to stop the smuggling 0i
liquor. the illicit manuiacture of the
same and the tralllc in lntoxlcants
by “bootleggers.” 1f the supply at
the source can be reduced the gov-
ernment hopes that the effect on
,.those who are engaged in minor vio-
lations of the law will ultimately be
,_to reduce that number considerably.
Mr. Coalitige really hasn't given
much consideration to the detailed
pronslons of the various. bills pend-
ing in Congress with respect to pro-
hibition enrol-cement and the ex-
pressions given as to his attitude by
a White house spokesman were in
the nature of curbstone opinions
which may or may not be changed
‘ . after Congress has had an opportun-
, ity to act finally on the proposals
o it.

This Is the Assertion of
George Sherwood in
Commenting on
Fairfield Planning .
BBIDGEPORT. Jan. 20.—"Estab-
lisbing a state park at Sherwood‘l
Island would destroy the valuation
of properly in Greens Farms. Hun-
dreds of thousands of dollars in
property would be sacrificed and ten
or twelve of the residents in this
highly developed district would
move away." declared George A.
Sherwood. a resident of the shore
front at Greens Farms and a spokes-
man for others in the same section
last night in commenting on the nc~
tion of the Ffalrficld County Plan-
ning association who voted to recom-
mend a legislative appropriation for
.thc acquisition of land for the sea-
-' shore park.
Sherwood and other: among the
property owners of Greens Farms
plan vigorously to oppose the appro-
priation if the State Park commis-
. sion uts in the reauest to the General
Assembly. E. 'l'. Bedford. owner of
the most developed property in this
section is in Florida. but is keeping
in close touch with the situation
through correspondence.
Claims were made by Sherwood
but the Sherwood‘s island property
would'cost nearly a million dollars
to develop into a, park such as de-
sired. ; “More than half of if. he do-
clarod. Is under water at high tide.
Propbncnls of the park declare
that residents of Greene Farms have‘
had a change of mind. point out
that Mr. Bedrord at one time offered
to sell a piece of property adjoining
the park project to the State Park
commission. The yalso state his ori-
ginal feeling toward the proposed
park was that he would not be op-
posed to it.

stipulates that in the future peti-
tions concerning building lines he
referred jointly to the Street! and
Sidewalks committee and the Zon—

relative to gasoline stations was
made last night. although it was
largely because of the encroachment
of gasoline stations in private resi-
