WILLIAMS ROBBERY
SUSPECT ARRESTED
D. C. Officials Do Not Hear
Whether Harry Baum For

Harry Raum, "a years old. resident
Of New York. accused " completely
with Joseph David, alias Davidoff. ana
others in the taking Of valuable dia
monds and jewelry from the residence
Of Mrs. Caroline Williams, 1877 Six
teenth street, the afternoon of March
Z, when Mrs. Williams. guests and
maids were bound. was arrested in
New York City on information tur-
nished by Detective Ira keck OF this
city.
He was held without bail by a
MAGISTRATE, and later charged with
having burs larized the home Of tran
McGoldrick. Brooklyn. y. ". and re-
leased on a cash bond of $4,000.
Arrangements had been made to
give the prisoner A preliminary hear
ing in Brooklyn yesterday. and police
th-re were asked TO notify the au
thorities here If Baum appeared for
A. hearing. A warrant alleging com
plicity in the robbery Of Mrs. vii
liams' home was lodged with the New

not been informed az to Baum's ap-
pearance for hearing yesterday.

when the eighteenth amendment to
! the Constitution is modified.
The fact that Mr.. Wadsworth will
! make the fight for denomination and
| re e-election on the platform he has just
announced makes the race in the t.m-
pire State of national significance.
especially since the drys have selected
andidaie to oppose him on that
very ground
Mr.. Wadsworth's point is that mas
much as the trainers of the Constit'l-
ton conferred on Congress such all
important powers as the regulation
of interstate commerce. il is wise to
fntrust to it general powers over the
manufacture. sale and transportation
Of alcoholic beverages His argument
Is that if the Constitution were to be
phrased in the form of statutes it
would have long ago proved worth
less document. a parallel would have
been the enactment of an amendment
specifying the exact rates that could
be charged by railroads. instead Of
comforting on Congress the right to
name a commission to listen TO argu-
ments and change the rates according
to cha angling economic conditions.
The New York Senator's proposal
ment giving broad powers 10 Congress
is the logical way to handle this and
other questions in which changing
conditions may call for different leg
station. Under the circumstances he
feels that the people have tied their
own ha nds and cannot really modify
the N"lstead act very much unless
they change the phra seology Of the
eighteenth amendment too.
Drys Welcome Strategy.
The drys welcome battle along
those lines, because both the West
and South contain enough dry States
TO block any change in the eighteenth
amendment. II takes just one more
state than one-fourth, namely. 10
States in all. to vote against a change
In the eighteenth amendment. and
The proposal would be lost. The drys
feel they can always command the
veto power.
AS for the vets, they have begun
an educational campaign in the hope
of persuading the dry States that the
issue is not simply whether the coun
try shall he wet or dry. but whether
the Constitution itself shall he made
rthe subject OF legisla ton. or whether
Congress shall he given general pow
ers to legislate. Constitutional law
yers have been arguing on this very
point for many years, irrespective Of
prohibition.
Mr.. Wadsworth's statement is view
ed generally here as an aggressive
attack on the problem from a. consti
tutioual viewpoint. Some of his Re
publican friends from Eastern States
said today IT is a. his enough issue to
bring the New York Senator into the
presidential race in case Mr.. Coolidge
does not run. Certainly 1t has made
many Senators wonder whether, after
All the Wadsworth statement and the
can for national referendum do not
give them n way out of A troublesome
question. The difficulty heretofore has
been that the vets have confined
themselves entirely to attack with
out stating definitely their program.
Mr.. Wadsworth proposes the Quebec
system Of government regulation Of
the sale Of liquors. which he thinks
could he operated under modified
Federal amendment.
