WANTS PROHIBITION.
Congressman Aiken Would Make
Washington Dry.

Anderson, S. c., November 2-Stating
that prohibition in the south, wherever it
has been tried, has been beneficial to
the people, Congressman F. Aiken of the
Seventh district of South Carolina today
declared he would introduce a bill for
prohibition in the District of Columbia
at the next session of Congress Mr..
Aiken is member of the House COM
mittee, District of Columbia.
Perhaps prohibition not in every case
entirely prevented the sale and use of
intoxicants," said Mr. Aiken, ''but it has
in all cases been a great deterrent, and
l believe If prohibition is good for GER
tain sections of the country it should be
good for washington. If prohibition can
be enforced anywhere it should be sue
cessfully enforced at the seat of the
greatest government on earth.''

AT VENICE RECEIVE SCARE
Unidentified Prowler Frightens the

sunset s5si.

VENICE, April 1S.-The members of
the Ocean Park police force are puzzled
by the actions of an unidentified person
who has been visiting the residences of
the officers on night duty the last three
nights.
Last night the wife of Night Sergt.
Perrant was frightened by a man who
tried to force an entrance through a
window on the ground floor Mrs. Per-
rant telephoned her husband at the
police station, but before an officer
could arrive the trespasser made his
escape.
Soon after this call was received
from the wife of officer Austin, who
stated that a man was trying to get
into the house.
Telephone calls were also received
from the wives of Officer Shishim and
Capt. Grant.
In each case the man escaped before
the police could get to the scene, and
in all probability, aware that the de-
partment was thoroughly aroused, he
made clean getaway from the city.
The descriptions given by the women
tailed almost to a detail. The prowlef
was short and stout, with broad Shout
ders. He was without a collar and
wore a black, broad brimmed hat. The
police are at a loss to account for the
evident partiality of the offender for
their particular houses.
