LOOPHOLE SEEN
FOR THIRSTY IN
BONE DRY LAW

Does the Reed amendment apply to
the District, or doesn't It? This is
the question.
Upon the answer. and as yet there
has been no clear-cut answer. depends
the ability OF Washington drinkers to
get future supplies.
Thousands OF Washingtonians have
stocked up. Other thousands have
not, calm in the belief that IL they
wanted booze they could go to Balti-
more and get II or order 1t from the
Monumental City.
Baltimore brewers and other deal
ers are prepared for business on the
theory that the Reed bone dry law
does not apply to the District. Con-
sequently they have issued order
blanks printed with a form of
notary's- oath TO be subscribed on
orders.
II the Reed law does apply, how
ever. 1t may bring a heavy penalty
on the person bringing in the liquor.
AS yet there has stepped forward no
one willing to test the District dry
law.
In the meantime. 1t is more than
likely that much booze will be
brought into the Capital from Mary
land.
The Sheppard law is apparently
strict in its provisions, but there are
many legal minds who are not agreed
upon its Interpretation. The layman
is anxious to know, just how far he
can go in getting new supplies. Of
ficials are not prepared to interpret

ANNALS OF POOR
COMES TO MIND
OF OLD BARMAN

James Hartnett. veteran manager
OF the Raleigh Hotel bar, and known
by every hotel bar frequenter in Wash
ington, shakes his white head today
as he tells his one-line version OF the
passing of liquor in Washington.
THE short and simple annals of
the poor" says "oId Pop" quoting
from Grey's "EIegy on a Country
Churchyard." his favorite poem.
That's the whole story down
through the years" said Hartnett, this
morning as he sat with his wife in
their little sitting room in the Bruins
wick apartments, his powerful frame
wrapped in a gray flannel robe.
This evening at 9 o'clock the Ra-
leigh bar will close. AS the thoughts
chased through the veteran barman's
mind he held his hands and said re-
hectively:
Predicts Drunknrds.
prohibition may be a good thing
for the District" he said, but don't
believe It. l believe that it will make
drunkards. More than ever before"
Mr.. Hartnett said that the city's
going "dry" was a hardship on the old
bartend6rs.
The young men can find work"
said Hartnett: "but / fear for the old
ones like myself. The youngsters can

work at the hotel but my duties will

Inst Day ns Dnrmnn.
Al noon. HHrtnett went to work his
last day connected with a bar. Many
of his cronies came in and took their
last drink there. Friends dropped in
to pat him on the back and wish him
well in his new endeavors.
"Good-by, Jimmie. Won't see you
much now Pop" are filling in his sad
afternoon.
Then came his little line of poetry.
The one he has been reciting for fif-
teen years. Its final utterance car
ried with it the tone of a requiem.

PRIVATE DRINKS
AT CAPITOL, TOO,
UNDER THE BAN

Can a poor Congressman, banker
ing for a little |"likker," after the
first day of November, safely take q
drink in the Capitol or in the House
or Senate ONCE Building?
This is one Of the burning ques-
tions to which the new dry" law has
given rise
Men learned in the law say that a
member of the House or Senate can.
not take a drink in his office or any
where about the Capitol buildings or
grounds.
Section of the new law makes II
a misdemeanor punishable by fine
or Imprisonment for any person to
drink in a public place or building.
or course, the Capitol and the Of
flee buildings are public buildings a
Senator who fortifies himself with
dram before making q four-hour
speech will be in danger OF incurring
the penalties Of the law he has him
self helped to pass.
The White House, too, is probably
a public building in the eyes of the
law, and section 2 applies to that.
II IL does, wine cannot be taken at
a White House dinner.
or course, the courts might hold
the White House was a private home.
One OF the many interesting angles
of the new law concerns its enforce
ment at the Capitol.
The Washington police will have
nothing to do with enforcing 1t there.
That will be done by the Capitol po-
lice. Whether they will be "bone dry
in their attitude or otherwise, one
may speculate as he pleases.
