ASKS PROTECTION
FOR D. c. POLICE
Chief Hesse Wants Officers
Clothed With Federal Power
in Enforcing Dry Law.

Legislation clothing all members of
the Metropolitan Police Department
with the power Of Federal prohibition
enforcement agents may be sought at
the coming session Of Congress as re-
suit OF the action of Maryland authori-
ties in issuing warrants against the
four Washington policemen who invaded
that State to arrest two men they had
pursued across the District line. 1t was
indicated today by Maj. Edwin B. Hesse,
superintendent.
Thirty-eight members of the force
now hold commissions as prohibition
officers, Mai Hesse said, which permits
them to 60 into another jurisdiction to
make arrests for liquor law violations.
Cites Maryland Case.
Since the Maryland authorities appear
to be so insistent to prosecute the four
policemen who trailed car in which
it is alleged liquor was found into the
State and arrested the occupants, the
police superintendent intimated that
some measures would have to be taken
to protect the members of his force.
Personally, Maj. Hesse is not strongly
in favor of the move, but he pointed
out that the liquor law Is the only one
on the statute books which members OF
the force are not empowered to enforce
without q special commission from the
prohibition bureau. The police super
intendent said he did not approve OF
District policemen invading another
State to search for violators of the pro-
hibition law, but he did believe they
should be allowed to pursue rum run
ners across the State line in order to
make an arrest.
Warrants Not Served.
The warrants issued against the four
policemen have been returned to off1ci-
ais in Prince Georges County, Mai.
Hesse said, and extradition proceedings
will have to be undertaken to have
them returned to Maryland for trial
should a grand jury in Marlboro return
true bills against them. The officers
are charged with assault with danger

renewed her denial that in appealing
to religious organizations to oppose his
prohibition stand she was dealing in
religious prejudice.
Mrs. Willebrandt read a letter from

He insinuated my appeal was because

Kentucky gentlemen steps forward to

May it be said to Mr.. Smiths ever
lasting credit that he does not run from

fecting public attention from the real
point and arousing prejudice. In this
case he is doing the unfair thing to his
