LID DOWN
ON HOTEL
DRINKING
Managers Warned Hostelriss
viii Be Closed If Drunken
ness Isn't Stopped.

The management of the Washing
ton hotels will be held to strict ac-
s0untability for drinking that goes
on In their dining rooms. This is
the announcement made by II. X.
Stephenson, agent in charge of the
local prohibition office. Yesterday
afternoon he had a Conference with
District Commissioner James +.
Oyster and discussed details for
eliminating this practice, which he
says has been going on almost OPEN
ly every evening. \
Hotel Mon Warned.
Warning has been served that II
there is no let up In the drinking re-
ported to be going on that their places
will be closed for one year under the
provisions of the National Prohibition
Act
According to Stephenson, there is
much drinking in pubic dining rooIns.
which the hotel management is not
aware of, but which walters wink at
with the hope of getting large tips.
He says that hereafter the manage
ment will be held for these violations
of the law and that the walters have
been instructed that they will be more
carefully watched in the future.
Stephenson, II is understood, also
discussed with Commissioner Oyster
the best plan for keeping Washington
dry during the coming arms conven-
ton. The members of the conference
and their retinue OF clerks, It is un-
derstood, will be immune from the pro-
hibition laws of this country, as they
will come under the head of the dip
lomatic corps, which is specifically
exempted by the law. The fact that
they are exempted from the law, II
is said. probably will lead many citi-
sens Of this country to get the opinion
that they. too. have privileges.
Responsible For Guests.
In addition to the drinking in the
dining rooms, the Federal Prohibition
Office has served notice on the hotels
that they will be held to strict ac-
for the health and safety
of their guests in their rooms, who
obtain whiskey and other alcoholic
stimulants from bellboys.
They base their contentious on sec
ton 20 Of the prohibition law which
is as follows:
ANY person who shall be injured |
in person, property. means of sup
port, or otherwise by any intoxicat-
ed person, or by reason of the intoxi-
cation Of any person, whether result
ing in his death or not, shall have
q right of action against any per-
son who shall, by unlawfully selling
to or unlawfully assisting in procur-
ing liquor for such intoxicated per-
son, have caused or contributed to
such intoxication, and in any such
action such person shall have a
right to recover actual and exem-
plary damages. In case of the
death of either party, the action or
right Of action given by this section
shall survive to or against his or
her executor or administrator, and |
the amount so recovered by either
wife or child shall be his or her
sole and separate property. Such
action may be brought in any court
Of competent Jurisdiction. In any
case where parents shall be entitled
to such damages, either the father
or mother may sue alone therefor,
but recovery by one Of such parties
shall be bar to suit brought by
the other"

They've slapped on prohibition,
And knocked booze sky high,
Now It's twenty bucks a bottle
For the cheapest kind Of rye.
Now, I'm a-thinking strongly
And Ill back IL with q bet,
They're going to fuss around
And can the cigarette.
OF course, folks will hoJier
And raise Cain IL they do,
And it's going to be mighty tough
