Opposition to Changes in the Jones Law
Washington reports Attorney General Mitchell filed opposition to modifying the Jones Law which imposes heavy penalties for violations of prohibition. He objected to a Stables measure that would narrow penalties for slight and casual offenders to six months and 500 dollars, while urging longer trial acts. He disapproved Christopherson bills on felonies and demerits, and supported simpler federal court relief with changes. He also favored limiting commissioners in trials and standardizing penalties, and opposed giving attorneys authority to pursue arson charges after commissioner trials.
