Special Dispatch TO TIE New YosK HERALD.
New York Herald Bureau.
Washington, ID. C.. Dec. 25.
The entrance of Christmas che
into the restaurant of the United
States Senate is under investigation
not half hearted investigation, but
a real, honest to goodness delving.
"Who owned that bottle containing
liquid with more than the Volstead
allowance of alcohol which dropped or
the floor of the Senate restaurant on
Saturday just as IL number Of Sena-
tors were dining in an alcove hard
by?"
This, in short. is the subject Of the
inquiry, and Senator Charles Curtis
(Rep., Kan), chairman Of the Rules
Committee of the Senate. announced
tonight that in view OF the frequent
rumors connecting legislators with
violations of the dry laws, he would
make searching investigation into
the incident.
As stated. Senators were dining in
that part OF the restaurant set aside for
official use. A waiter. so far unldenti-
fled, dropped something and simultane-
ously with the cracking of glass a wel
known aroma reached the Senators in
the alcove. This set the ball rolling.
The question uppermost was whether the
ownership of the bottle was not trace
able to one OF the Senators.
Senator Curtis is not yet In a position
to answer this. One alibi already has
been put forward--namely. that one Of
the oldest and best walters in the res-
taurant is subject to periodic spells OF
addiction to liquor. The Kansas Sena-
tor. who Is dry leader is determined to
have this waiter fired If it should be as
certained that he owned the Inflated
bottle. What would be done should II
develop that il belonged TO a Senator, or
even to one of the men who vote con-
sistently dry, has not yet been deter
mined and there Is Il possibility, of
course, that the inquiry may not develop
FAR enough TO give chance for public
referendum
This was not the only liquor tragedy
on Saturday. 1t is reported that another
bottle dropped not far from the office
of Representative Upshaw (Dem., Ga.).
who INDUCES in frequent and intensive
philippics on the unethical conduct of
members of Congress who violate the
dry code. He is an out and out dry
himself and no suspicion attaches to him
1t may have been "A joke at the ex-
pense of Mr.. Upshaw-just by way of
reminder that Scrooge is not quite rs
dead as a door nail. Anyhow there is
no evidence that the bottle contained
