DRY LEGATIONS
Representative Believes U. S.
Will Ask Foreign Officials
to Observe Law.

Representative Clyde Kelly of Penn
sylvania yesterday predicted the time
was coming when foreign legations in
the Capital will be asked to respect the
laws of the United States, including the
eighteenth amendment.
Speaking at a law enforcement meet
ing at Foundry M. E. Church, Repre-
sentative Kelly said: President Hoo
yer inaugural address was declaration
of war on the outlaw liquor interests. /
believe he will give us reasonable en-
forcement I believe he will make Wash
ington model for the rest Of the Ma
ton.
Declaring that most Washington peo-
pie earn their living from the Govern
ment, he said: "They have solemn
obligation to support the eighteenth
amendment"
Meantime Clinton N. Howard, chair
man of the National United Committee
for Law Enforcement, continued his se-
ries of dry meetings at three churches,
Memorial United Brethren, Bethany
and First Baptist. He praised President
Hoover for his pronouncement on law
enforcement and touched on the local
police chief situation.
Without rejecting on Maj. HeSSe,
who SO suddenly seeks retirement, his
successor should be known as total
abstainer," said Howard. mo man who
violates the law himself or countenances
its violation for his accommodation by
another can maintain the respect and
support of the men under him. Any
man under Maj. Hesse who shares the
responsibility for the reign of lawless-
ness, bootlegging and gambling that has
prevailed In washington under consti-
tutional prohibition cannot be trusted to
do good job as his successor. The policy
of this administration should be to put
only known dry officers on the job Of
drying up the National Capital"

devoid Of disorder had not the excitable
young man in the gallery shouted

came to me and apologized and offered
to pay for the damaged window. He
said his first impulse was to provide a
way Of escape for the women and chill
dren."
