'Douthitt, secretary, last night sought ‘the approval of Maj. Edwin B- Hesse, | chief of police, for a proposed law which virtually would place the entire re- sponsibility for enforcement of the prohibition act with the Metropolitan Police Department. Douthitt conferred with Maj. Hesse last night in his Office in the District Building for more than two hours, ex- plaining the various features of the proposed law. It is understood a meet- ing between Douthitt, Maj. Hesse and ‘District Commissioner Proctor L. Dougherty will be held within a few days, at which time it will be decided whether local authorities will sponsor the proposed bill in Congress. Federal authorities now are in charge ot dry enforcement in Washington, with 2 the Police Department acting as a co- operative agency. The law proposed by Douthitt would reverse this order, mak- ing the Federal agents the cooperating force, it. was said. Although Maj. Hesse would not state, his attitude toward the proposed change it) the law, he declared Congress would have to provide an annual appropria- tion of at least $100,000 before the Police Department would be in a posi- tion to “step out.” At the present time, Maj Hesse explained, each of the fourteen police precints has a one-man “liquor squad.” ‘These policemen have been deputized as enforcement agents as required by law. In addition, there is a four-man liquor squad which operates in various sections of the city. The present personnel of the Police Department is inadequate to even harbor the’ thought of “drying” up Washington, Maj. Hesse asserted. If Congress acted favorably on the pro- posed bill, Maj.
