THE DRY LAW
[United Press Association.—By Electric Telegraph.—Copyright.]
(Received thia day at 9. a.m.) NEW YORK, March 10,
The ‘New York” Herald Tribune’s Washington correspondent states: “Air Hoover’s law enforcement commission, under Ickersham, is investigating beiiind closed doors, which separate from learning the going on before the House. The Judiciary Committee had already collected astounding evidence of the almost complete breakdown of the prohibition enforcement in many parts of the country. Evidence under consideration concerns not the congested courts but the psychological effects of the efforts of enforcement upon sections of the population by whom the laws are not regarded as morally binding. The situation in cities is said to have given rise to totally dispassionate testimony concerning tbe difficulties of enforcement which in many . instances eclipse the shocking claims recently made publicly by “wets” before the House Committee.
