Personal Observance of Dry
Law by Members Under
Attack in Talks
Washington, Jan. 3 (AP).—The con-
troversy over deaths during the holi-
day season from drinking poisoned
alcohol reached both the senate and
house floors Monday as soon as con-
gress reconvened. At both ends of
the capitol the personal conduct of
members in the observance of the
dry law was questioned, and before
sunset the discussion had reached the
treasury, where both Secretary Mel-
lon and Lincoln C. Andrews, the pro-
hibition enforcement chief, issued
statements.
Caustic Speeches Made.
While Representative Celler, Demo-
crat of New York, was accusing his
colleagues in the house of “drinking
to excess,” Senator Edwards, Demo-
crat of New Jersey, in a lengthy
speech in the senate was condemning
the “hypocrisy of some representa-
tives of the people who vote dry and
drink wet.”
