Senate committee reviews Raines liquor law effects
New York December 1 The Senate special committee on the Raines liquor law reopened its inquiry. Police Chief Consin said the new excise rules aid policing by exposing saloons during closed hours and suggested abolishing liquor boxes in favor of a single large room. He claimed some saloons act as hotels on Sundays. Reverend Doyle testified that Sunday drunkenness rose due to clubs and hotels under the Raines law and that poverty rose in his district. Police Commissioner Roosevelt defended enforcement gains but noted remaining defects in the act.
