WET EMBASSIES CHALLENGED

Diplomatic immunity from the provi-
sions of the prohibition act was challenged
December II in resolution offered by
Senator Biease of South Carolina calling
for an investigation of the use OF liquors
at embassies and legations in Washington.
The resolution further demanded to know
whether the Italian Debt Commission
brought liquor into this country and if SO
why its members were not promptly ar
rested as American citizens would have
been" Treasury Department officials un-
der the resolution would be requested to
make an immediate investigation and re-
port to the Senate whether whisky, wine
or beer had been served by the foreign
ambassadors. ministers, or agents in
Washington since the passage of the Vol
stead act, and if so. whether it had been
done with the approval of the President or
any other official whose duty it was to en-
force the prohibition law.

RUM ROW MOVES TO ATTIC
Dist. Atty Buckner of New York
Says the Bulk of Bootleg Now
Comes From Home Stills

The declaration OF United States Attor-
ney 3uckner of New York City that Rum
Row had moved fiom the coastal waters
to the lofts and office buildings OF New
York. IS confirmation of the reports OF the
press that Rum Row has practically disap-
peared The Coast Guard is doing its
work we'll
Mr.. Buckner explains his statement by
saying that the bulk of liquor consumed
at present in the United States is manu-
featured within the country and is not the
imported brands He says that the source
of this manufacture is dcnatured alcohol
derived from legitimate industrial cham
nels to bootleg pools.
The failure of the bootieggers to extract
all the~poison with which denatured alco-
hol is diluted in the process of denatur-
ing. accounts for the number of alcoholic
poisonings which he says are on the in
crease He declares that 90 per cent of
the cases of alcoholic poisoning during the
past two years were due to poison still
remaining in liquor made from denatured
alcohol.
A recent statement issued from the ma
tional prohibition headquarters said that
the diversion of industrial alcohol consti-
tutes the biggest problem in law enforce
ment today. There is no reason why the
federal government can rot successfully
cope with this menace.
There are good grounds for belief that
this bootleg source soon will be stopped
under the new regulations promulgated
with the reorganization of the prohibition
enforcement unit. These regulations give
the .torcement unit authority in the issu-
ance of permits, an authority they did not
have under the old plan, and no doubt this
will prove an effective check to this evil.
