The most common comment heard
from both the civilian and naval

HOWELL DRY BILL
SENT TO D. C. HEADS
Senate Body Asks Commissioners
to Consider Measure and
Report.

The Howell bill to strengthen dry
law enforcement in Washington has
been sent to the District Commissioners
for report by the Senate District COM
mittee, and further developments on the
measure will await a meeting of the
committee, which may be held next
week.
1t Is believed likely that when the
bill is taken up it will be considered by
the entire committee rather than a
subcommittee because of its Importance.
The section of the bill that has been
most frequently discussed since its in
PRODUCTION is the search warrant clause,
which would enable officers to search
private dwellings upon information of
the presence of a still or that liquor
has been taken to or from a house.
Under the national prohibition law as
1t now stands, evidence of a sale Is
required in obtaining a warrant for a
private dwelling. It is probable this
will be one of the principal questions
discussed when the committee takes up
the bill.
The measure also gives the power of
prohibition enforcement to all local
policemen and creates a revolving fund
to be used by the police department in
gathering evidence of violations.

forward seriously in the House today by

Mr.. Fort, speaking on the floor of
the House, declared himself unalterably
opposed to commercialized trafic in
liquor. He insisted that the country
would not again permit it.

Mr.. Fort, that the eighteenth amend

Replying to those who raise the per-

Balancing the Dement'S of national
prohibition against the evils which
have grown out of it, Mr.. Fort declared
the former to be far greater than the

URGES LIBERAL
RETIREMENT LAW
Senator Dale Explains Rea-
sons in National Radio Forum
Address Last Night.

Reasons why the Government should
be more liberal In providing for the
retirement of its employees were ex-
planned last night by Senator Porter H.
Dale of Vermont, chairman of the
Senate committee on civil service, in
an address in the National Radio
Forum arranged by The Evening Star
and sponsored by the Columbia Broad
casting Co.
Senator Dale, after stating the
principles upon which the present re-
tlrement law is based, explained the
measure OF which he is the author to
increase the annuities for retired en-
ployeS and otherwise liberalize the
retirement law. This bill has already
passed the Senate and is awaiting
action by the House, where similar
measure has been introduced by Repre-
sentative Lehlbach Of New Jersey, chair
man Of the House committee on civil
service.
All enlightened citizens are in favor
OF retirement legislation, declared SEN
ator Dale. He explained that the en-
ployes of the Government contributed
from their salaries to the retirement
fund, and there is an assumed liability
on the part Of the Government to pay
annuitants "the amount of their an
nulty beyond the amount with interest
which the annuitant paid into the
