SECRET OF CAPI-
TAL BOOZE JOINT
This is not a story of ‘‘the black
hand’’ nor has it anything to do with
palmistry. Neither is it a tale of
digital surgery workings. It is simply
the story of the ‘‘open sesame’’ to the
first class beer and wiskey joint that
is maintained in the State Capitol.
If you are one of the elite” —and
to become one you need only, in case
you drink, to have “gone along’’ on
some of the important pieces of liquor
interest legislation that got through
both House and Senate this session—
you can get all the booze you want.
Room 249, located on the Senate
side of the central corridor of the Cap-
itol, on the same floor as are both Sen-
ate #nd House, is fitted out with as
complete a line of booze as one could
well desire. Wiskey, beer,and*‘soft’’
drinks are to be had without stint, the
only requisite being capacity and an
ability to keep quietabout the ‘joint.”’
Entrance is gained in the usual man-
ner of opening adoor. But to do this
a key must be had. Now to use a
key to 249 requires some fiesse.
