Washington, Sept. 16.—Declaration
was made today by Prohibition Com-
missioner Kramer that dry law en-
forcement machinery is inadequate.
Coupled with this was a statement by
the Anti-Saloon League that the na-
tion is confronted by a “gigantic and
vicious conspiracy to discredit and ulti-
mately overthrow prohibition.”
Mr. Kramer, in making his declara-
tion in an address before the Anti-
Saloon League conference, added that
in numerous communities prohibition
cases were being dragged into fed-
eral courts at a rate o ften to twenty
a week. The result, he yaid, is pamm-
