Home Brewers Get Jolt
When Sale of Beer In
gredients Is Outlawed
-T
Washington.—Prohibition Commis
sioner Haydes struck Thursday a blow
at home brew that may prove fatal.
Keginning with raids in Washington
on dealers who sell malt and hops and
other ingredients used in the making
of beer in the homes, the commis
sioner announced he had directed sim
ilar raids all over the country. «
The raids are made to rest the va
lidity of the Volstead act relating to
the selling of materials that can be
used in the manufacture of beer and
liquors.
The Government officials do not con
template invading the homes in this
campaign to stop home brewing, bat
to confine their activities to stopping
the sale of the ingredients.
.Thursday’s action came as a general
surprise, because the sale of malt and
hops has gone on uumolested by the
authorities throughout the country.

Everywhere had been supplying the
demand, which has been growing by
leaps and bounds.
The dealers even advertise tbeir
products in the newspapers and have
largel flaring signs in front of their
places of business advertising the fact
that they sell a particular brand of
malt and bops. Their windows also
were lavishly decorated with cans of
malt and bags of hops and the neces
sary utensils for making home brew.
Commissioner Haynes insists he is
going to make a determined effort to
rid the markets of home brew utensils
and ingredients and that he believes
that the law contemplated the prohi
bition of beer in the homes.
Dinner was a little late. A guest
asked the hostess to play something.
Seating herself at the piano, she exe
cuted a bit from Dubussy. She finished,
but still there was an interval of wait
ing to be bridged. In the grim silence
she turned to the old gentleman on Ler
right and asked:
"Would you like a sonata before
dinner?”
The aged one gave a start of surprise
and pleasure. "Why, yes, thank you,”
be exclaimed. "I had a couple on my
way he<e, but I thiuk I could stand an
other.”
$1,069,152 Banked in
4 Years By N, Y. Po
lice Head on $7500 Job
New York.—Bank deposits totaling
more than $100,000 have been credited
to the personal account of Richard E.
Enright, police commissioner, since he
took his $7,500 a year .position nearly
four years ago, according to investi
gators for the Meyer legislative inves
tigating committee, who gave testi
mony at a hearing in city hall today.
Enright previously testified he had
$12,000 in real and personal property
when he took office under the Hvlau
administration.
The committee also was told that.
Edward B. Hughes, a police inspecto."
until recently, and wbo is now operat
ing a detective agency guarding citv
piers, had deposited to the years 1918,
1919, 1920 and 1921 amounts totaling
$1,069,152.69. He is a close friend of
Commissioner Enright, and was best
man at bis wedding.
This testimony, which followed the
dismissal from the witness stand of the
police commissioner himself, who had
appeared voluntarily before the com
mittee after proees6 servers had sought
in vain for him since last Thursday
Qight, was the signal for a violent de
monstration on the part of State Sen
ator Downing, Tammany member of
the committee, who charged gross in
justice upon the part of the commis
sioner and demanded that Commis
sioner Enright be recalled to the stand
aod cross examined
Enright reappeared at the afternoon
session and read an itemization of his
bank deposits, apparently with a view
of explaining the origin. He detailed
a number of loans in four figures which
he said had been repaid by relatives
and friends duriDg the period of the
$100,000 deposits. He also told of $956
deposited from the sale to friends of
Dempsey-Carpeutier fight tickets he
bought, and $600 for the world series
tickets he resold to friends.
