4(HjSE!" 0KYS APPLAUD KILL
ING OP LIQUOR VIOLATOR
BY WASHINGTON POLICEMAN
WA&HlSfGTQN.—Dry members of
House, including Representative
Lolis 0. Cdftmton of Michigan, their
leader, today applauded' the killing of
i Washington* policeman of the. 21
year-old ^driver of a liquor car.
The' dryrf took the floor’ in wrath
wh%n thd- House • converted to chastise
thd district police - authorities, who
lal suspended the policeman, Clyde
(X* Rouse,, without pay, and ordered
hi 1mheld lor-the grand jury- Rouse
although declaring ?he was blinded by
i smoke screen, said he>pnt four shots
in tit- the left tear tire- of a- fleeing car,
and then shot wild, killing the driver,
Otfmer Herman Fleming.
The fight broke out when Repre
sentative Hcdaday,-. Republican dry, of
*- -Uhmots, took the -Agog tty praise the
action of the policeman. Holaday de
scribed the chase of the car, the
shooting and, as a climax, the killing.
Wflen he. reached the point where the
youth’s head was pierced by the bul
let*- the drys of the House broke,out
>nti) -prolonged applause.
“If he could not «ep the carbon ac
count of the smoke, how could he see
"hd tire that he shot into?” asked
Representative Brand, a dry. Hoad
’eji.did not explain, and Brand contin
ued to ask whether the Illinois mem
ber intended to assert “that when, one
is fleeing, from an-officer without a
warrant the. officer has the right to
kill him,-because he has violated the
prohibition lawr"
Holaday-responded that he believed
t.hd officer “was not only entirely
A within, his legal rights but he was
9k only, doing what his duty as an officer
9a required him to. do.”
mK Representative Charles- O’Connor,
Republican, Oklahoma, asked if Hol
aday did not believe “we ought to
repriman dthis officer for wasting
four shots instead o fusing just one.”
Representative Cramton of Michi
gan, recognized dry si>okeman in the
House, declared that it was evident
from the applause, “at feast on che
Republican side—I have not noticed
any. on the other side,” that the
House approved the killing.
A chorus from the Democrats in
dicated they also aproved. .
Representative Laguaidia deplored
the applause and declared, “Even
though the police officer had been in
formed by a third person that liquor
was in that particular .automobile, I
I submit that under the la\v he was not
justified in shooting the driver of the
car. There is nothing inherently
wrong in the transportation of liquor,
i It is a statutory . prohibition. It.,is
| not mala in se, it is mala prohibition,
j “If you want to justify., the shoot>
i ing of a human being on . tha charge
- that the car he is driving contains al
: coholic beverages, then- -to ibe- logical
l-you should call ou the navy, and send
'it out twelve rrd from New York
: and sink the Leviathan.”
“I think,” said Representative Lor
■ ing Black, Democrat, New .York, “this
is one'.of the most, outrageous scenes
• I have ever encountered in the House
rtf Ppnrpspnt.afivrx Tn .. think that
the statement of one of our members
describing the killing of a boy should
be applauded by ..members of the
Tlouse of Representatives of the
United States!
j "It was promised by supporters oi
the Jones act that .if we passed i the
Jones act we should do away with all
; the shooting and bootlegging. The
absolute contrary- has been the result
, The proposition is advanced that we
j are to have a war against crime. A
; man can now be shot by an enforce
' ment officer, and th; ebootlegger is
] condemned without^tjjpal by jury."
Representative Brand pointed out
that he is a lifelong lry and that
from the time he attained his major
ity has “never mised an opportunity
of voting the prohibition ticket.”
“I contend, as a: lawyer; however,"
Brand said, “that, if an.officer has ,n<
warrant in his possession or Jawful
authority to arrest, that where a man
has committed only an ordinary feL
ony, less than a. capital offense, that
- to kill anyone ’ under these eircum-.
stances is not Justifiable homicide,
but is offensive homicide.
- “If you invoke the doctrine,” de
clared Mr. Brand emphatically, “they
will be killing them all over . this
country.”

its 1,147 passengers, among, the first
to cross the gangplank were 52 mem
bers of the customs enforcement ser

Passengers said liquor was to be
had in the smokin gand dining rooms,
but as a matter, of. fact most of the
drinking was.hone i nthe. catkins. They
said no cases of intoxication had been
'seen..
Passengers reported that inexperi
ence of the Leviathan’s crew as liquor
■'dispensers was evidenced.,by the first
stock they laid in. On. the third day
out. they said, the beer was all con
sumed and from. then, on it was wine
■ or “ahrd stuff” or nothing. Several'
■passengers complained that, more
; malt and less spirits would have been

•among the passengers. Senator Glenn,
j and replied:
“I sa wno evidence of intoxication.
■j I did not see a thing out of the way,
'nor was there .any loud talking. The.
ship was run in an orderly manner,,
and if it had.not heen told that liquor
was served I should scarcely have
■j known .it.”
I Another passenger,, who disclaimed
any familiarity with the liquor ser
vice on the ship because, he said, he.
does not drink, was Henry M. Dawes,,

and brother of former Vice President

ING FOR SILK UNDERWEAR
j CHICAGO.—Chief No, Flesh1, who*
| is 88 years of age, and Chief Eagle
Thunder, who is somewhat younger,
have developed a weakness for, baths
and silk underwear. The -Izaak Wal-,
i ton League is considerably concerned.
! Bert ,F..lBell, of Rapid City, S. D„ ,
Who is looking, after the Indians, is
' perplexed, tpo. The chiefs were taken,
from ,thu,Sioux reservation to beat
i tom-toms and that sort of thing . for
the Izaak. Walton League, sessions
here. . They, don’t wear silk under
wear on the reservation.
“Since coming here they bathe two >
: and three times daily,” Bell said.
: “They would rather recline in shiny
i white tubs than eat. We do not mind
j that so much. The trouble is they
•want, new suits .of underwear after
I each bath.”
I Something, s;rjd_ .Bell, has. got to ba
