HESSE WOULD MAKE
RUM BUYING CRIME
Police Superintendent Tells
Board of Trade Situation
Here Is Joke.

A more stringent prohibition law
which would make the purchase Of
liquor as we'll as the sale and trans
portation a felony Is the most effec-
tive weapon Congress can give Wash
ington to bring about real enforcement
Of the eighteenth amendment, Maj. Ed
win B. Hesse, superintendent Of police,
today told the executive committee
of the Board of Trade at a meeting
this afternoon in the District Building.
Maj. Hesse appeared before the COM
mittee primarily to urge the boards
support of more drastic concealed
weapon law. He was led, however, into
discussion of the prohibition situa-
record of arrests for liquor violations
in the last several years to show that
q determined effort Is being made to
enforce the law, despite numerous hand
leaps.
1.-THE situation is joke" Maj. Hesse
declared. There are more than ! 1900
members In the Police Department and
only % of them have authority to en-
force the national prohibition law.
These 20 men have been deputized as
revenue agents. I have for three years
recommended legislation clothing our
policemen with authority to enforce the
VolStead act.
"If Congress wants to give us real
prohibition enforcement law, it should
make it felony for man to buy liquor
as we'll as to sell 1t"
Mai. Hesse pointed out that despite
the fact that more than 1900 persons
were arrested In the District in the last
fiscal year for violation of the Shep-
pard law, which includes intoxication
and drinking in public, he did not be-
lieve that drunkenness Is on the increase
in Washington. He attributed the large
number of arrests to change in condi-
tions since national prohibition and the
increase in population in the District.
The committee, at the suggestion of
E. C. Brandenburg, adopted a "hands
of" policy in regard to the proposed
changes in the prohibition enforcement
laws for the District. Taking the po-
sition that such change was political
matter primarily, and one for Congress
to decide, the committee neither ap-
proved nor disapproved the plan.
