Vigorous denouncement of the action taken by the House In approving the 1 use of wood alcohol as a denaturant | was expressed by the Washington Cru saders, meeting at the Hay-Adams House Wednesday. In characterizing the legislative move to curtail the flow of alcohol as “legal ized and organized murder” the Cru saders issued the following statement: "According to a well accepted prin ciple of law, any one who has the least thing to do with the committing of a murder is as guilty of murder as the one who actually commits the crime. For example, a man who suggests to another man that he commit a murder, is con sidered as guilty as the one who com mits the murder. "In this case, the House of Repre sentatives passes a law requiring the Government to place poison in alcohol when it knows that some of that alco hol will be drunk by its citizens and as a result of drinking the poisoned al cohol \some of its citizens will die. Even thoug'i a citizen be violating the law in purchasing this alcohol, although it is not definitely known whether it be a crime to purchase liquor, it is certainly murderous to place something in the alcohol which may, and has, and will cause death.” Will Rogers Says: BEVERLY HILLS, Calif.—See by the papers this morning that the Government is not going to pur tposely bump you off with poisoned denatured alco hol, they are go ing to let you live but make you suffer. They claim this new ingredient they put in makes the smell something like a cross be tween garlic and bad eggs. Going to take more than bad odor to stop this new bunch of drinkers we got. They will just slide a clothes pin down over their nose and go right after it. All you will have to do Is dilute it with "Jockey Club” cologne.
