‘FIVE-AND-TEN’ LAW IS BLAST AT RUMTRADE Minor Violators of Dry Act, However, Are Not in Serious Peril. / By Times Special WASHINGTON, Marcli 26.—'The Jones “five and ten” law, which is causing such worry among bootleggers and their customers, has ten lines and 151 words. It is one of the shortest and simplest major bills ever enacted by congress. Its only effect is to increase the maximum penalties for those major violations of the prohibition act specifically forbidden in the eighteenth amendment manufacture, transportation, importation, or exportation of intoxicating liquor. Under the new act. any person convicted of a violation coming under the above classifications may be fined up to SIO,OOO and imprisoned for not more than five years for each offense. Former maximum penalties for manufacture or sale were up to SI,OOO fine and not to exceed six months’ imprisonment for the first offense, and up to $2,000 fine, and five years in jail, lor a second offense. iMinimum Still Possible The new act does not disturb these penalties. A judge still may, if he chooses, impose the minimum sentence on an offender. But he may also, even on first offense, give the heavier penalties of the Jones act. The man with a quart of illegal whisky in his cellar is in no greater danger than he was formerly for possession. Senator Wesley L. Jones of Washlngtori. author of the act, said it sought to reach “the commercial organizations we all know have been and are being organized throughout tlie country” to make money out of violations.” He gave as an instance the case ot a Chicago alderman, just convicted, after having organized a $5,000,000 company to “engage for profit in systematic violation of the prohibitidh law.” Former penalties were too light, Jones argued, to deter offenders in this class, and were being taken as necessary hazards of the business. Law Is Strained The government has tried to reach these bigger offenders by indicting them for conspiracy, with its greater penalties, but in the wm-ds of Mrs. Mabel Walker Willebrandt, assistant attorney-general in charge of

prohibition enforcement, the conspiracy statute had been “strained beyond all reach” in trying to penalize the big bootleggers. Because of the fear that certain federal judges woud take the law to be a congressional mandate to go the limit in assessing penalties upon all offenders technically coming under its scope, and because certain wet senators showed that many major crimes are not visited by penalties as severe as those under the Jones act, the senate adopted the following provision: "That it is the intent of congress that the court, in imposing sentences hereunder, should discriminate between casual or slight violations, and habitual sales of intoxicating liquor, or attempts to commercialize violations of the law.”

OIL CZARS WILL MEET AND PLAN CUT IN OUTPUT \ Drastic Curb on Waste to Be Demanded at Parley in New York. Bu Times Special WASHINGTON, March 26.—Farreaching plans for reducing production of oil on the Western Hemisphere will be presented to the American Petroleum institute in New York Wednesday in the first step the industry has taken to set its house in order. The program was adopted at a recent meeting of oil representatives at Houston, and according to George i Otis Smith, who attended the Texas meeting as unofficial observer for the Federal Oil Conservation board, it marks an important victory for the government’s four-year fight to save these national resources from further waste. It is directly in line with the example set by President Hoover regarding oil on the public domain, according to Smith, director of the geological survey and the boards oil adviser. The agreement for curtailment of production, which is expected to be approved both by the institute’s executive committee at the New York meeting and by the federal board, contemplates restriction oil 1929 production to the 1928 total of about 900,000,000 barrels. As this year’s output already is running ahead of last year’s by about 10,000,000 barrels a month, the saving for

Asthma Yields to Doctor's Discovery What is regarded as an amazing advance in medical science is the discovery of the actual cause of Asthma and Hay Fever by the wellknown Dr. Fugate. He found the cahse of these ailments originates from an unbalanced condition of the endocrine glands. After finding the cause he perfected an effective treatment that has already been used in thousands of cases, and the reports of immediate relief indicate that? at last help for Asthma and Hay Fever has been found. An important booklet telling in detail about his discovery and treatment has been published by the Fugate Cos., Dept. 4012, 126 S. Meridian St., Indianapolis, Ind., who offer to send it free. Those troubled with Asthma or Hay Fever should write at once.—Adv.

was above that of January. 1928, by 320,000 barrels a day. In January of this year more than 6,000,000 barrels were put into storage because of that month’s overproduction, with a total cost of about $9,000,000 for tanks, insurance, interest on money

invested, and a further loss probable through evaporation. Stocks on hand have reached a new record. They include 491,000,000 Darrels of crude and 133,000,000 barrels of refined. More- intensive “cracking” of oil produced is expected to supply tne nation’s 1929
