Gorman Blames Prohibition For
Chicago’s Crime and
Vice Wave
. WASHINGTON, June 26. (n) — In-
dulging in one of its favorite pact-
times of the present session the
house today participated in a round
of prohibition debate.
Consideration of the second den
ficiency supply bill, which among
other items carries $2,686,700 to
supplement the $10,635,685 already
provided for prohibition enforce-
ment during the fiscal year begin-
niag July 1, served as the means
of introducing the subject.
While Representatives Gorman,
Republican, Illinois, and LaGuardia.
Progressive-Socialist, New Terk.
vigorously assailed the dry tow and
conditions under it. Representative
Upshaw, Democrat, Georgia, urged
his party to come out with a ‘ring,
ing" pronouncement in support of
the 18th amendment in the 1928
presidential campaign.
Mr. Gorman charged prohibition
with a grave responsibility in re-
cent crime waves in his home city
of Chicago while Mr. LaGuardia
concentrated hie attack on Lincoln
C. Andrews, assistant sceretary of
the treasury, in charge of prohibi-
tion enforcement.
“Cringing Officeholder”
Assailing Andrews as a “typical
cringing officeholder who is seek-
ing to please the administration,
the drys, and the wets,” LaGuardia
shouted that the proposed distribu-
lion of the 238 additional dry agents
to be employed under the new en».
propriation "Is not to prevent 11-
quor coming into the country, bat
to facilitate the entry end to give
concessions at certain porta for
that very purpose.”
Mr. Upshaw reviewed the last
presidential elections and accused
President Coolidge of not taking a
definite stand on the Ku Klux Klan
and said the Democrats had been
afflicted with "too much Madison
Square Garden."
Comparing conditions In Chicago
as he knew them as a letter carrier
eight years ago with those at pres-
ent, Mr. Gorman said that his route
lay in an "orderly community,” but
1 now “there le much crime.”
“Young boys and girls," he said,
“in the days I traveled there, now
grown into early manhood and
womanhood, instead of drinking
beer in their own homes, ‘as was the
custom of their parents, now drink
poison at house parties, dances,
cabarets and elsewhere.
erMere Drunkenness”
“There to more y drunkenness
among these yopng, people today
than“there was among the adults
of eight years ago when I worked in
their midst.” The stela-who don't
drink strong, liquors are rare except
stone and they all wrift that eternal
companion of drink, the cigarette. e
“The young mea all drink and
they get stupidly drunk from the
rotten stuff they drink. Other vices
have some among: these plain folks
as a result of strong drinking. In-
dulgence in intexicating liquors at
their dances, parties and other gath-
erings has produced immoral and
suggestive dancing among them and
a combination of both drinking and
dancing has brought on an assrap
I vated immorality. .
1“These simple people are no bet-
ter off since prohibition. They are
worse eff. For the moot part they
were a temperate people before pros
hibition. Now, they are, a commu-
nity of drinkers. They make their
own home brew and they distill
their own har-e 1
unaged concoctions that are de.

MANY ATTEND FUNERAL
OF CLEVELAND H. DODGE
nrvenpALm, N. Y., June 26, on
—More than 200 friends of the late
, Cleveland H. Dodge, philanthropist
and, capitalist, who died at his
home Wednesday, crowded the small
Riverdale Presbyterian ‘Church to-
day for the funeral services.
The Rev. M. Duff, pastor of the
church, officiated. The Presbyterian
ritea were observed.
WASHINGTON, June 26. (P)—Pro-
hibition was described today by
Representative Gorman, Republican,
Illinois, as A curse which was
"making bums out of respectable
people and millionaires out of
bums,” and which was playing a
loading role in an increase of crime.
"They any prohibition has only
increased the price nt liquor and
decreased Ito quality," he continued.
“Youth haa answered Volstead’s
■vorboten’ with a dare—then an ad.
venture and now remorse.
“Prohibition has glorified drink-
ing. It has passed its curse on to
the children without lifting Ito man-
tie off the shoulders of their eld-
ers. It has bridged the chasm be-
tween the otherwise law-abiding
and the law breakers. They meet
on common ground: the one to pur-
chase forbidden liquor and the
other to sell it."

HIM IN RACE TO BEAT
ST ATE TREAS. HATCHER
DALLAS, Texas, June 1a mn-

ception la a statement Saturday to

two Dallas candidates for the of-
fice la order to defeat the incum-
bent.
“Ferguson had nothing to do
with my entry In the race, though
quite “obviously I shall be glad to
have his support," Harris said. "I
am running on my own qualifica-
tions. I should be glad of the sup-
port of the other- candidates for
governor. If elected I shall work
in harmony with the candidate se-
lected by the voters."
