SENATOR'S SON
MAKES 'WH0OPEE
ALONG BROADWAY

NEW YORK, April 9. W.R)Thomas
Heflin Jr., advocate of states rights
in the matter of prohibition, nursed
a black eye today - the price he
paid for a flaming piece of research
work on the workings of the Vol
stead law he conducted along Broad
way last night.
Young Heflin, son of the dry sena-
tor from Alabama, ended his tour of
the whoopee' belt last night at the
West 30th street police station. Yes
terday he arrived on the liner Ancon
from Panama, announcing that the
six bottles of Scotch with which he
started out had proved insufficient
but that he had met many generous
and kind hearted persons aboard
ship.
Today Heflin was in charge of his
father S secretary, j. l.. Thornton,
who was sent here from Washington,
to guide him back to Washington.
81 put him to bed last night,
Thornton told the United Press to-
udN. htUltInbOI lIl'l liN - I'''' -
boy and what happened yesterday
and last night is just one of those
things
What happened last night was
that Young Hcflin received a couple
of cuffs from a policeman and was
escorted to police station. Then
he applied for lodging for the night,
or what was left of it, and was re
fused. Thorton finally arrived to
take him to the Hotel McAlpin.
When the Ancon arrived yester-
day, Heflin was in a connivial mood.
He waved his large Panama hat at
reporters and announced his stand
ON prohibition was almost directly
opposite to that taken by his father,
''Whcn l am in Alabama or IN
Washington, l IN dry Hetlin
said. "But when l get in wet

may catch hell from dad for saying
that, but I have to say it.
