j. S. DRY BUREAU
HIT IN GIBSON QUIZ
Lieut.. Nina Van Wrinkle Tes-
titles Federal Co-opera-
ton Lacking.

The declaration that she had not had
any cooperation from the Federal Pro-
hibition Bureau for more than a year,
and had never had full cooperation,
was made by Lieut.. Nina Van Wrinkle,
head of the Woman,s Bureau of the
Metropolitan Police Department, before
the Gibson subcommittee today.
Mrs. Van Wrinkles testimony was
given in connection with the study that
the Gibson group is making of law
enforcement here. She related that in
one instance q Treasury official enforc-
ing prohibition here had turned over a
confidential report from the police
women to the very people who were
under investigation, but when Repre-
sentative Hammer, Democrat, of North
Carolina, Indignantly asked for the
name of the person referred to, Mai
Edwin b. HesSe. superintendent of
police, said he was no longer connected
with the service.
In response to questions by Chairman
Gibson, Mrs. Van Wrinkle reluctantly
admitted that she had furnished money
to the Prohibition Bureau from time to
time to conduct Investigations in the
District of Columbia and did not get
all of the money back. During recent
years she said the local Police Depart
ment had reimbursed her and then it
took long time to get a refund from
the Prohibition Bureau. Mrs. Van
Wrinkle declined to make an estimate
of the money she had expended out
of her own pocket, but when Mr.. Gibson
said he would consider that it had run
into thousands of dollars. Mrs. Van
Wrinkle said 1t would probably be not
more than thousand dollars year.
Mrs. Van Wrinkle testified that the
Investigations made by the Woman's
Bureau on New Year eve showed that
liquor was present at all such places as
night clubs and cabarets where her
force entered. but that the patrons had
brought the liquor with them and it was
not being sold on the premises.
Maj. HesSe and Headquarters De-
tective Edward Kelly. head of the hon.
icide squad, were other witnesses today.
Maj. HeSSe declared that he has the
gamblers on the run Chairman Gibson
that he understood some of
the gamblers had moved but that they
seemed to stay in the same precinct.
Maj. Hesse answered that he understood
what Mr.. Gibson meant and that per-
sonally he had gone to see the captain
Of that precinct and told him that he
had heard gambling house had moved
10 new location and the captain had
to get right after 1t.

General Federation of Women'S Clubs
in the report of Mrs. Ben Hooper, chair
man of the department of international
relations, read before the final session
OF the MidWinter board meeting at the
federation headquarters this morning.
''The ratification of the multilateral
treaty we have seen as the sole business
of our department until that legisla-
ton is passed." said Mrs. Hooper, land
the extent to which we have been at
tending to this business can be Judged
by the results.
I'VE have secured nearly 1000 reso-
lutions from member clubs throughout
the country urging the passage of the
Kellogg BRAND pact, and there are
more coming. Representing as they do
the backing of some $4,000 clubwcmen,
to put it at conservative figure, these
resolutions we believe cannot fail 20
carry weight"
There is little difference of opinion
in the general federation with regard
to the necessity for adequate prepared
ness, continued the chairman, but, of
course, there is a difference of opinion
as to what constitutes adequate defense.
1t is my earnest wish that the general
federation should confine itself to sup
port of constructive legislation tending
toward outlawry of war and let our
Government work out the details of
methods for bringing about the COM
mon end toward which all of us are
striving. Let us take care not to have
hand in tearing down before we have
something constructive to offer in place
OF the discarded system.
