Lee fell into the tolls of the law

berry of a filling station where he
was employed. Third precinct De-
tective S. F. Gravely investigating
the alleged robbery, found the
money hidden by a pump stand and
Lee confessed taking it and taking
the robbery. He declared at the
time that he needed the money to

liquor from Mrs. Morris O'Dell at

O'Dell proved before the Commits

Capitol Liquor Gentry
Closes Down On
Deliveries

The Jones prohibition enforce
ment law has proved boomerang
to wet-drinking. dry-voting mem
bers of Congress. Since enact
ment Of the law they have found
it exceedingly hard to get their
liquor delivered.
BootIeggers who, before the
Jones law was passed, had no
hesitation in delivering supplies
to the offices of Congressman in
response TO telephone orders are
now refusing to enter the Capitol
on such errands.
Up until the Jones law was
enacted about two weeks ago,
bootleggers would deliver liquor
at the Capitol just as willingly
as to any private office down
town. During several years of
activity only one of them, the
man in the green hat" had been
molested
congressman now find it easier
to have their liquor delivered at
their homes As result most of
them who drink are now carry
ing their liquor to their offices
at the Capitol.

Brand Fights for Post
Friends of Col Harrison Brand,

of the Senate District Committee
at the last session of Congress TO
make a favorable report upon his
denomination as a Public Utilities
Commissioner.
This became clear yesterday when
e. r.. Colladay, Republican national
committeeman for the District. and
w. T.. Galliher called upon Presi-
dent Hoover to ask him to send
Brand name back to The Senate
when it reconvened next month.
This Endorsement of Brand by the
local Republican organization. in
spite of the fact that many diff
culties lie ahead of his eonfirma-
ton by the Senate, even assuming
that it is possible. was 4 surprise
move.
President Hoover gave no indi-
