0FFUTT EXPLAINS
D.C.L|QUORPO POLICY
Tells Mid-City Citizens Lib.
eraIity Will Decrease
Consumption.

George w. Offutt, chairman of the
Districts Alcoholic Beverage Control
Board, explained the policies of the
board before a meeting last night OF
the Mid-City Citizens Association in
the Thomson School.
Mr.. Offutt said the board had pur-
sued a course of utmost liberality in
issuance of licenses. believing that if
liquor is freely obtainable in many
places, not only will its consumption
decline through the removal Of the
urge to do that which is forbidden,
but business competition will force the
price of liquor down to the point
where it will become Improbable for
bootleggers to operate.
Opposition to Bootlegger.
He said that unquestionably it
would become easier to convict boot
leggers under the present system than
under prohibition. Then, he said,
juries would consider that since the
patron was not penalized, 1t was not
fair to convict the bootlegger. From
now on. there vii be a feeling that
the bootlegger is simply tax dodger,
a type of citizen with whom juries
have very little sympathy.
Mr.. Offutt pointed to the fact that
in the first IS days Of March, 1888,
under prohibition. there were 338 traf-
fic accidents in the city, and that in
the same period this year, represent
ing the first Is days of the avail
ability of legal liquor, there had been
only 286.
The association approved the Black
bill to permit the Pennsylvania Rail-
road to electrify its lines in Wash
ington by the construction Of over
head transmission lines, and the
McCarran bill to require financial
responsibility of owners and operators
Of vehicles for hire in the District.
Would Restrict Parking.
A resolution was adopted in favor
of eliminating parking on Tenth
street from Massachusetts, avenue to
S street on the west side in the morn
tngs and on the east side in the eve
nings.
The association decided to petition
the Post Ofice Department and the
post Office in Goldenberg'S Depart
ment Store or to set up a branch
Office nearby.
Another resolution asked for ap-
pointment of none but residents OF
the District as superintendent of
penal institutions and other similar
key positions.
A letter was ordered sent to Mrs.
Helen P. Davis, widow of the late In
spector Ogden T. Davis, expressing
the condolences Of the association on
the death of Inspector Davis.
The association adopted a resolu-
ton expressing its qualification at
appointment of Richmond B. Keech,
former peoples counsel, as a member
of the Public Utilities Commission.
The associations banquet, which
was to have been held next month,
was postponed until Fall.
President A. j. Driscoll reported
that 130 new members had joined the
association as result of the men,
