-HESSE ‘LOSES ouT | IN POOLROOM RAID Squad Captures 40 and All But 16 Are Freed—Prose- | outor Turns Others Loose. ‘When the records of members of the Metropolitan Police are compiled agaln next year, Officer Sinclair may again have an almost perfect score for obtaining the convictions of his prisoners, but not so his chief, Maj Edwin B. Hesse, superintendent of the force. Last night Maj. Hesse sallied forth at the head of a flying squadron of detectives and uniformed men. Burst- ing unexpectedly, into the poolroom at 610 Ninth street. they bagged some- thing like 40 prisoners and hied them all forthwith to the first precinct sta- tion. The raid was conducted at the per Sonal request of the proprietor of the Poolroom, who notified the police that suspicious-looking characters were making his place a hang-out. Maj IHesse decided that he would personal- 1y lead the foray, and sist him Detective O'Brien. Varney and After examining the prisoners at the station house, MaJ. Hesse read some a lecture and permitted them to go their way again. Sixteen others, however, | were locked up and charged with “vagrancy.” Haled to court this morning, however, Assistant Corpora- tion Counsel Walter Fowler declined o even let the police chief’s prisoncrs get past his desk. For “lack of sufficient evidence” he ordered the entire 16 released and dis- missed the charges. As a result, the records of Maj. Hesse will show that fact when statistics are compiled at the end of the vear. Old-time patrol- men admitted today that “the major” will have to “pull in a lot” to bring up his average. ALEXANDRIA.

His job as presiding officer of the Senate—and that's about all there is to the vice presidency—interferes serlously with his afternoon siestas. Having discovered during the early weeks of his incumbency a power over- looked by the long line of his illustri- ous predecessors—that of the Vice President, by taking « nap, to change @ member of the President’s cabinet— he has been scrupulously careful not to wield that power again. Since that fateful day two vears ago when Charles Beecher Warren fafled to become Attorney (ieneral because the Vice President was sleeping away the only opportunity that has come to him in two vears to cast a_vote in the Senate, Mr. Dawes has absented himeclf from the Capitol only twice while the Senate was In &essfo The Vice President himself has con- fessed that he was not especlally proud of the discovery of the new power inherent in his office. “I had hoped it would be forgot- ten as the years went on, but I find it is not,” he said. “I did not for. got it and for two years I have been the most faithful attendant the Senate has had. Not because T wanted to hear the speeches, but 1 was afraid they would get another tie vote on me."” In those two years the Vice President has taken just two chances. Once an aching tooth drew him to a dentist. Again_ his old friend Charles M. Schwab drew him to New York to de- liver an address. KEach time, the Senate was obliging, if it knew he was ibsent. Naturally, Mr. Dawes wonders if such would have been the case had he been taking a nap. Sues City for Hens Burned. Special Dispatch to The Star. DANVILLE, Va., February 12.— Mrs. G. W.

UPSHAW DELIVERS SWAN SONG SPEECH Calls on Democrats to Fight for Dry Law as Hope for Victory in 1928. By the Associated Prens. Representative Willlam 1. Upshaw of Georgla sang the swan song of | his congressinoal career in the Fouse today, where for eight years he un- furled with persistent regularity the white banner of prohibition. Culminating nearly a decade of service dedicated to destruction of rum shops and liquor, the Georglan chose the birthday of Abraham Lin- coln to deliver a polemic in behalf of a dry Nation which he sald, the eman- cipator envisaged three-quarters of a century ago. Upshur retires from the House March 4 Recalling the demand of Dr. Nicholas Murray Butler for a wet Republican presidential candidate in 1928, the dry leader bade his Democratic col- leagues to have hope, if only they nominate a dry candidate of their own With a dry standard bearer, he said, their need he no misgiving among the Jeffersonians over further exclu- slon from the seats of political power. Urges Against Split. “Forget it not, my Democratic col- leagues,” he said, “that the very stars in’ their courses are fighting for us in 1028—f we will only be wise and keep mober as a party. The economic skles are heavy with clouds for the opposition, but every one no more win in 1928 than a divided Republican party could when Wilson was elected.” Admitting that signs of peace with- in his party were not encouraging, Up- shaw declared the “dry constitutional | Democrats” desire peace, but they | would never put their signatures to | an agreement written “on the up-| turned head of a beer keg—unless that | keg s empty.” He reiterated his faith in prohibition | and, although he contended enforce- ment has been successful, he called upon officlals to pursue even greater al, declaring he believed President olidge and other oflicials “had never | quite awakened to the enormity of the erime of the bootlegger and his sup porting patrons.’” | | Cites “Improvement” In Congress.
