TUMULTY'SAIM
IN DOUBT HERE
Purchase Of Home May Not
Mean He Is to Stay in
Capital.

Among the more interesting post
election interrogations is whether or
not Joe" Tumulty. President Will
sons secretary. and his family in
tend to remain in Washington.
Color is lent to the belief that they
do by the purchase, in the name OF
Mrs. Tumulty, of the handsome res
idence at 1917 Kalorama road, con-
firmed by !Tumulty yesterday.
The red brick and brownstone
structure has been occupied for
years by Mrs Mary G. Shepherd,
widow of Alexander Shepherd, IA
nous governor Of Washington.
Tumulty says his wife acquired it
as more or less of a speculative
venture" and that its disposition
is entirely up to her"
The Shepherd mansion is some
what ofta landmark in the exclusive
Columbia Heights section, occupy
ing a corner lot affording consider
able lawn space and having roomy
verandas. Secretary and Mrs.
Tumulty now rent the dwelling at
2649 Connecticut avenue.
Prior to the announcement of this
purchase, 1t had been the foregone
conclusion that Tumulty would re-
turn. after MaGch 4. 1921. to Jersey
City. his home town, there to re-
sumo the practice of law.

GLOOMY FOR THIRSTY

Prohibition officials throughout

as result Of the decfsion Of the
Supreme Court yesterday permit
ting owners Of liquor acquired be-
fore January 1s. 1920. to transport
their stock at will, and also to store
II In warehouses.
There is no disposition on the
part of Commissioner williams, OF
internal revenue, or Prohibition
Commissioner Kramer to resist the
decision. They point out that the
law Is surrounded with safeguards
which make 1T permissible to seize
the stock Of a man who violates
the law in any particular.

Especial pains, Il is said. viii
be taken to apprehend and punish
hotel proprietors who own large
stocks Of liquor IL any attempt 10
made to dispose of It to the public.
officials see no ground for appre-
hension that the decision will make
liquor appreciably easier to get for
the average man, believing that
owners of a large and valuable
stock will be at pains to avoid any
action making the liquor subject
to seizure.
Wayne B. Wheeler, counsel Of the
Anti-Saloon League. said yesterday
that the thirsty would be dissppoint-
ed IL they thought the decision of
the Supreme Court would make
liquor easier to obtain.
"The decision" he said, will make
1t more diffieult to enforce the law,
but there are ways to reach persons
who transport any liquor for Illegal
purposes. Section of the volstead
act prorides that no one shall trans
port liquor without first obtaining
permit from the Commissioners.
Thus any shipments that take place
can be checked up.
"AppIies to Lawful Lisser.
. "As / understand the decision II
only applies to liquors which were
lawfully possessed for the owners
personal use before the law went
into effect. The number who can
legally take. advantage Of this is
small.
'This decision furnishes another
good reason why the government
should take over all liquor in bond
and in purchases, concentrate Il at
a few central points. and dispose of

stored in warehouses the government
will have trouble in enforcing the
law and the way will be open to
frauds"
