Mr. MmcPhee the House went into committee with sec the Government realized the law enforcement. He thought there beer from the vendors store and selling it, he claimed. The‘section carried. Bac. 2'adds to Sec. 133 d.lhe Act authority to the prohibition cillcers to demand the name of persons when an attempted seizure is made, even though no liquor is actually seized. The clause carried without discussion. Bsc.3addsiosec.13l oftheAot thc following subsection: "(5) Any person who ma. mls-, onably be suspected of having liquor on his person contrary to the pro- visions of this Act, may be search- ed by any inspector. constable or other officer duly appointed for en- forcing the provisions of this Act; Provided that if such person is a female she shall be searched by a female, and any such inspector, constable or other officer may em- ploy and authorise a suitable fe- male person to not in any particular case or clue," A Mr. J.

Mr. MacPliee admitted there ' was the possibility always that an innocent person may have to sub- mit to a search. I-Ie 'iid not think, in practice, that any great difficulty would arise. The section only em- powers the officers to do what has been done previously. The section was not directed ptaticularly to the class of individual Mr. Camp-I bell had referred to Mona slam nnrorwsiui-:N'r‘ I Owing to the more rigid enforce-| ment of the Act in recent years the Attorney General expl..ined, boot- leggiers, instead of keeping s large qim-htity of liquor on hand, as was formerly the case, take very small deliveries and keep only s small quantity about their persons. It is to get after these people that the section is intended. Mr. J. A. MacDonald said he had no objection to a woman being searched in her home by another woman. but to be searched in the street was another matter; Hon. MI. Mu.dPhee said it would rarely be necessary to exercise such authority. Mr. Allen took exception to tl\e Attorney General's comparison of, present with past enforcement conditions, He cited an experience in Charlottetown on an occasion when he passed by a certain place with another gentleman. There was a. curiously penetrating smell. He asked his companion what it was, and was told "that's beer." Mr. Allen suggested that there must be a good mlny beer selling establishments in Charlottetown and the enforcement officers might do better work li they pm- cuned dogs. whose sense of scent was keen, to lead them to these places. ‘ A member: “Blood-hounds." Hon. Mr. MacPhee: "Beer- hounds-" (Lauthter). Mr. LePagc said that drunken- ness and brawls were "very pre- valent" on the trains, and it was "up to the Attorney General" to use that his officers were put aboard the trains to prevent this nuisance. questions ` Dpposltim' Statement Hou.

Mr. MacPhee: "I think the member should withdraw that st::t':t1'nt.” Lcimge explained :hai he lriurlcied no reflection on the m.mbcrs, bui. that they should not have to sit alongside of persons who were drinking and blasphem- ing. ‘ Hon. Mr. MacPheei "Then I apologize to the hon. member. When he suggested that we police the trains because the members were travelling back and forth, I thought he was suggesting some- thing that he should withdraw: but I sec it was not for their dis- clplining but for their protection that the suggestion was being made." (Laughter). Mr- Dennis asked ii' the amend- ments were submitted to the tem- perance organizations. Hon. Mr. MacPhee replied that amendments had been drafted af- ter consultatlon with the fnspect- or of the Royal Canadian Mount- ed Police. There were one or two amendments which had been sug- gested by the City Police. CITY POLICE C0-OPERATING Premier Maclvfillan, replying to the suggestion of Mr. Allen that there was evidence of law violation in Charlottetown, pointed out. that every day in Charlottetown several searches are made. In some cases :uspected premises are searched four and five times in one dav- “For the last year at least,” he added, “the City Police have been active ln co-operating in the en- forcement of the Prohibition law- something they had not been do- ing for the past ten yelrs. I hope the town police of Summerside are also doing their duty, In any case. we have both the R.C.M.P. and the City Police of Charlottetown en- deavoring to enforce the Prohibi- tion Act in this city, The record shows that the City Police have been instrumental in entering six- teen prosecutions andjetting ,ten convictions. They did that _much since they were compelled bv thi! Government to endeavor to do thgir duty so far as the adminis- tration of this law is concerned." (Applause). "We found out a coullle Oi ycsfi ego," continued the Premier, “that the Charlottetown and Summer- side police forces considered they had no obligation whatever. so far ns the Prohibition Act was con- cerned. That has been changed. I want io point out that a sincere attempt has been made to get the services ot' all police officers in this Province lined up in the sn- forcement of this law, and I think the result of our efforts in that direction is lelf-evident, when the average searches In the Province run to`about fourteen per div fill the last year, and that 4.500 searches have been made in Char- lottetown and Snmmeralde during that time There illoertainly evcf! effort being made to enforce the Prohibition Act." (Applause). CHECK ON BEER SALES "So far aa the sale of beer is concerned, my hon. friend from nustioo says that bootleggers get the beer from the vendors’ stores and sell it. we had that matter up some months' ago. ond it plan Pulvsrlzsd Lime Iustarrivedandweeanmaire iznmodlateaeuvery. miertililes Chemicals ana Goods ready for hu- mediafe delivery.

The doctors issuing the scripts were notified as to this black list, and some of them had their prescrip. tion supply cut off, because they gave prescriptions for beer to those who were known to be on the bootlck list. My information is that that practice has been pretty well stopped. My hon. friend shakes his head? He evidently knows more about the situation. But. if he or anyone else can give me evidence of any specific ease that we can follow up, I can assure him that every effort will be made to check this practice.” (Applause). Mr. l.ePage: "Does my hon. friend _think as, a~ medical doctor that 14,000 cases of beer is re- quired in this Province in one year for medicinal purposes; and lf not for medicinal purposes then it is unlawful.” Premier MacMillan: “I can ans- wer that question by asking my hon. friend, does he think that the $50,000 to $15,000 liquor sales by the Prohibition Commission when he was in power. was necessaryf' (Applause). Mr. LePnge: "lt wasn't beer." Premier MacMillan pointed out that in certain cases beer, accord- ing to medical evidence which could be adduced, was a. valuable sid to the human system, particu- larly in cases of lndigestlon and anemia. “I am noi,” he said, "go- ing to say whether it is not pos- sible to get along with less beer or did opinion that what comes through the vendors' stores is not doing the harm that the sguff handled by oootlessm is do nz- Some of it is known to be adulter- ated- Probably we have not reach- ed the state they have in other provinces, where they use so much wood alcohol, which makes the stuff absolutely dangerous; but that, to my mind, has always been is source of great danger. It ls not the stuff from the vendors' that does much harm, in my opinion." OPPOSITION ATTITUDE Mr. Lea. regretted that “when we swap sides, each side criticised the other for making its best en- deavor to enforce the Prohibition Act,” (Applause). He looked on the bootlegging parasites as "rats" who could be dealt with in the open, but when pursued into a building it was pretty hard to cor- ner thsm. “I know ii; is very dif- ficult." he added. “to enforce the law in the towns, but in the coun- try the people are not bothered with this nuisance unless it is brought in to them. If l-hc officers were as active as they might be, this could be stamped out. That is my criticism. They find it very hard-I realize that-to control the traffic in the city and towns." The section carried. SEARCH 0_ll‘ PREMISES Bee. 4 adds to Bac. 120 the Dro- vision: "fdl Upon my search of prem- ises under sub-section (bl of this section of this Act. any P°\'l°¥\ Cf psi-som, who without reasonable excuse are found in such premises, and not being residents of the said present for the purlwse of obtain- ing liquor contrary to the pro-p visions of the Prohibition Act and shell he liable ton fine of not less. than tan dollars or more than um-ty ooiiors and in ofooii of payment ci such fins of imprison- ment for not less than- ten days or more than thirty days." The Attorney General explained that the cllll of psrlons referred to were those fo\ind_in _places when convictions had recently been obtained.

V COMBIENDS CHANGE Mr. Le!-‘age was pleased that the City Police are now V co-operating in prohibition enforcement- The Liberals, he said, had the same trouble in their time with the City Police, who refused to eo-operate “except when they were just driv- en." The credit for the change, he believed, should go to the presenti Mayor of Charlottetown. ' The section carrledf 3 Seb. 6 amends Sec. 1261>, sub- section (1) of the Act by extend- ing the time from twelve to twenty-four months, within which three convictions must be obtained before the premises of the cori- victed party can be padlocked by the authorities. It carried without discussion. Sec. 'I adds to Sec. 126c of the Act the following provision: “The occupier of any premises in respect of which s. conviction has been obtained under this Act, shall be liable to a. penalty not ex- ceeding one hundred dollars and ln default of payment to impris- onment for a term riot. exceeding two months who guards, locks, bolts, bars or otherwise secures any door or doors of said premises at any time more strongly or securely than is reasonably necessary for the purpose of ordinary security." The promoter explained that the practice has been for persons who are being raided to drop liquor down the kitchen sink, with s little creolin, while the officers are cncleavoring to gain entrance. This section was intended to give quick- cr access to suspected premises, with better prospect of making seizures and convictions. EXTRACT SALES ABUSE CURTAILED Mr. Dennis thought there should bc some provision against the drinking of essences snd extracts. These liquids, he said, were used freely by picnic parties, Every merchant in the country can buy All kinds of them, and many, tempted by the profit, were selling the stuff. lion. Mr. Mac!-‘hee explained that the Act now makes provision with regard to the sale of essences, and the Police have their instruc- tions to chock up on such sales. Within the last ‘six months there had been no case brought to his attention in this connection. "Fre- qiienly in the past,” he said, “these cases were brought to our atten- tion. that the merchants were violating thc law, _but no com- plaints lravo reached me for some considerable tune- The Police have 'not suggested that there is any particular difficulty. or that any amendment is necessary, and for that reason I do not think there is necessity to entertain the sug- gestion of the member that the bill ahculd remain in committee for that purpose. As I said before. it is not my information that there is any such serious situation as the member suggests. Mr. Dennis thought the officers should have authority to go into merchants' stores and demand the invoices, so that they could check up on the amount of extracts sold. The section carried, The bill was then sgrard w without division. WATER. COMMISSION » , DEBBNTUREB On motion of Mr. Stewart the House went into committee with Nr.
