Attorney General A. Mitchell Palmer.
Mr. Palmer appeared before the

In Philadelphia ti if' Miinpll-

of Justice turnsd attention u t.ic high
cost of living, and acknowledged it was
difficult to apprehend them without
funds.
"All I can do under the circum

up in one city after another by putting
twenty or thirty men on the job and get
ting evidence of the violation of the law
and bringing as many prosecutions
simultaneously us I can in the hope that
they will throw fear into these fellows
which will make them obey the law in
the future.
"The enforcement of prohibition in the
country is now upon the Department
of Justice, without u penny of appro

estimate that 40 per cent of the
energies and activities of our bureau of
iuxestigation is expended upon the en
