Edge Claims VoLstead
Act Is Not Successful

mits," Senator Edge continued. ct
contend further that in enacting the
volstead Act. with it's provision rela-
tive to less than one-half of 1 per
cent. maximum alcoholic content we
have denied the public what the
constitution permits.
I'm my judgment-I may be
wrong. but l sincerely believe It is
a correct analysis that that fact be-
Ing thoroughly realized today
throughout the country has much to
do with the protests and the chal-
lenges We hear on every side.
Now that we have the eighteenth
mental law of the land, l want to
see the enforcement act honestly
representative of the eighteenth
amendment; l want it to be a cor
rect Interpretation of the provisions
or the eighteenth amendment. When
prohibition was proposed the peo-
pie of this great country voted for
or against the eighteenth amendment
through the election of their various
state legislatures. but they did not
vote on the wisdom of the Volstead
acts only in isolated cases have they
even had such an opportunity. The
Volsteac act should represent the
eighteenth amendment, not in effect
nullify it. The eighteenth amend
ment becam" a part of the law of
the land. and it must be respected
and upheld In every possible manner.
In my judgment the Volstead act
has been failure in the function it
was supposed to serve as a measure
through which to enfroce the con-
stitution of the United States"

WASHINGTON May 9.-The Vol
stead law denies rights to the people
to which they are properly entitled
under the Eighteenth Amendment to
the constitution and four years ex-
perience with it has shown that the
law cannpt be successfully or satis-
factorily enforced.
This assertion was made In the
senate by Senator Walter e. Edge,
OF New Jersey. in urging adoption
of the resolution for Investigation
OF the internal revenue bureau, In
cluding the prohibition bureau. by
q special senate committee.
The manufacture and sale of beer
and other beverages with an alco-
holic content of 2.75 per cent is al
iowable under proper construc-
tion OF the constitution, he declared,
and added that he was in favor of
the 2.75 per cent. limit instead of the
Volstead law which limits bever-
hges to one half of one percent nlco-
holic content.
The resolution to investigate the
internal revenue bureau, including
The prohibition bureau. was adopted
py the senate without a roll call.
senator Edward I. Edwards of New
Jersey. who about two months ago
presented in the senate a resolution
providing for investigation of the
prohibition bureau. favored the reso-
luton which was adopted but did
not raise his voice in regard to 1t
Or enter the debate.
II the senate committee Is to in
Vestigate the internal revenue bu-
reau Senator Edge added. 1t should
certainly take in the prohibition bu-
reau In view of all the charges that
nave been made relating to its fail
ure to properly function,
II believe that some of the pro-
tests and challenges made against
administration of the eighteenth
amendment through the Volstead
law are to some extent justified"
said Senator Edge, because in some
OF its provisions 1t attempts to cur
tail the liberties of the public be-
yond what the constitution contem-
plates. The constitution only pro-
hibits the sale and transportation of
intoxicating beverages: it does not
prohibit transportation and sale of
alcoholic beverages.
''On the other hand. the Volstead
act, prohibits the use of any bey-
erages containing one-half of 1 per
cent. of alcohol or more. I think
everyone knows. and it has been nd-
m1tted by the original proponents
OF this legislation that one-half of
per cent. of alcohol is not intoxi-
eating. or near intoxicating: but that
percentage was simply adopted. as
recall the argument at the time. in
order possibly that a better enforce
ment OF the prohibition law could
be brought about.

ience. and contend that no
one can take the position, fol-
lowing those four years of expert
ence. that that law. which in my

Meyer Davis Buys No. 1
Thomas Circle for Large
Consideration

Sale of the building at No. /
Thomas Circle to Meyer Davis has
just been announced. Mr.. Davis
made flying trip to Washington,
so as not to interrupt the work of
his orchestra which is playing at
entertainments for the Prince of
Wales, and went over the final ar
Eangements, OF the deal with his
general counsel, Morris Simon,
who handled the negotiations. 1t
Is reported that the consideration
involved was considerably more
than a quarter million dollars. The
property was purchased from
George r. Ray, Charles Tompkins
and Ida Tompkins.
AS a result of the deal there
will be an immediate enlargement
Of Mr.. Davis fashionable LIE Para
dis cafe. Both private dining
rooms and another large room for
general entertainment will be add
cd to the popular dance resort, be-
ing located on the second floor.
Construction work is already under
way and 1t is hoped that the ad-
ditions will be completed within a
month or two, although the Ella
borate decorative effects which
have been planned may possibly
require a longer period to conn
plete. No expense will be spared,
it is announced. to make the resort
the finest Of it's kind in the country.
William Lawrence Bottomley, the
famous architect and decorative
artist. will design the new additions.
Mr.. Bottomley is known as the
architect Of the most luxurious of
the great Salvin group Of cafes
and a number of other smart Broad
way resorts. According TO present
plans, each of the new rooms to be
added to the cafe will be in strict
period types with furniture, hang
ings and lighting fixtures in abso-
lutte harmony. The new room for
general entertainment will be a la

vices installed. Robert Kehl, known
throughout Washington as Rob

LIE Paradis rooms as well as the
older main dining room.
A new Meyer Davis band will be
developed as a special attraction
for the new Russian room of the
cafe. While the lineup Of the new
organization has not been fully
worked out, it is announced that
some absolutely novel instruments
will be included and that resultant
musical effects will be Of a highly

room will be copied from certain Of
the ceremonial rooms Of the Krem.
lin, which Mr.. Bottomley recently
visited. Rich, barbaric color will be
lavishly used. Antique brocades
and a number of specially imported
decorative pieces will contribute to
the general effect.
The private dining rooms will be
designed with the idea Of suitability
to certain types of social gatherings.
Thus the Louis Quinze room will be
ideally adapted for debutanre
parties and mixed social events, in
