TOURISTS ARE BLAMED FOR LAX OBSERVANCE I ■ Prohibition Director Says', Visitors Drink Heavily In Washington ! DIPLOMATS ARE ALSO NAMED BY OFFICIALS By Cecil Owen • United Press Staff Correspondent Washington. Jan. 29- (UP) —Pro-/ hibition enforcement in Washington,' was described today by prohibition ' director Woodcock as “far less sat-j /isfactory" than any many other ' cities. , Lax observance her was attribu' ed by Woodcock largely to the tour i ists who each year come here tn 1 large numbers. Far from home. < Woodcock said, most persons have a tendency to depart from their nor--1 mal habits of law observance, and 1 ■ much drinking is done by visitors, i Since last July 1 when the proiii- : . hition unit was transferred from the 1 I treasury to the justice department. * 1,001 persons have been arrested < for violating the dry law. Convic t tions have numbered 863. fines col- 1 - lei ted $105,342 and jail sentences< totaled 48,957 days. The number of federal dry agents s working in Washington varies from ,a dav to day as men are sent here 1 1 from the district headquarters at f Richmond or from Baltimore. Twen-1 < :ty agents are on duty under the i , 1 deputy in charge here, but they also c cover five counties of Southern r Maryland. j ( In addition to the federal agents. I the prohibition bureau pays the sal- t aries of about half a dozen Infor-, ] mers regularly employed by police. Frequently a woman undercover ag ent is used, but none is on the pay- j roll now. , Public drinking at hotels by dip- 1 ‘ lomats out of reach of the law is regarded by some officials as a hindrance to effective enforcement in the district of Columbia. One large hotel was said to have lost most of its diplomatic patronage because of stringent rules against public drinkpng. “En.orcement of the law here is , made more difficult by the obstacles j offered by tournists and some members of the diplomatic set who drink in public,” one official sa!d. "That maxes tie problem for autorities I mote complex than elsewhere in the < country." Another hazard to enforcement here is the fact most of the drinkjing in Washington is done in the I home where it is virtually impossible for authorities to interfere. Set: ator Howell. Repn. Neb., seeks to change this situation by the drastic search and seizure clauses in his enforcement bill. The senate has sidetracked the measure temporarily. !

Ethan A. Miles. Anti-Saloon League attorney, was a spectator in the I senate gallery during the half-hour ■ debate. The bill a! Lee J. Hartzell, republican, fort Wayne, proposing addiction of about $175,000,000 of frater nal and religious property to the tax list, encountered difficulties when it came for second reading. Debate, lasting more than an hourdeveloped after Winfield Miller, republican, Indianapolis, proposed an amendment which would exempt in-come-producing properties of religious fraternal and educational institutions. the amendment was at- • tached to the bill by favorable vote. Buildings set aside for strictly '“educational, literary, scientific or t charitable purposes” are exempted i by the bill, although an earlier amendment had act forth that col- ■ lege fraternity properties and hording houses were not educational 1 buildings.

I di.ficiilty of finding veterans l«> 'serve on the board of the Soldiett- ; [and Sailor's orphans home ut I Knightstown made it necessary to [ [amend the present law requiring at least two member* of the board to j be civil war veterans. The new bill which will be voted < on by the house reduces the number ' of board members from live lo four.' and requires only that one member be a veteran of the Spanish Amen- [ can war or the World war. ■ o— — APOLOGY From UNITED STATES SATISFACTORY (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE) with the government's dual action against the officer. The state department also vi-ws the affair as closed, thus focusing attention upon th general's trial, which will be' held either here or at Quantico before a board of Marine and Naval [ officers. Postponement of the trial for, several weeks was believed probable because of the anticipated delay in assembling the group of of-1 fleers scheduled to try Butler. Because of the general's high rank, it was expected a full board of 13 officers holding the same or higher rank would be called to sit in the: case. Also Butler must be allowed time to obtain counsel and prepare for, his defense. He may have either naval or civilian attorneys, as he 1 prefers. The charges against Butler, of-
