Prohibition Chief Pins Drift on Canadian Liquor Treaty
Prohibition Commissioner Doran told a House subcommittee that liquor smuggling from Canada and other sources remains a major dry law problem. He urged treaty revision to stop Canadian clearance of liquor ships. He noted seven eighths of smuggling enters via Detroit and that counterfeit labels and stamps flow from the current treaty. He credited improved enforcement at the source for reducing illicit production but warned of growing small scale distilling and cross border trafficking. A separate item from De Soto Missouri reports Sol Hohenthal, 59, charged with second degree murder in a death tied to Pearl Potoskey. He surrendered and posted 10,000 bond.
