POOLROOM BILL DEAD.
House VIII Insist Upon Its Provisions
ond tho Sannta VIII Nnt Yield

House VIII Insist Upon Its Provisions
and the Senate VIII Not Yield.
The bill licensing billiard and pool tables
is probably dead SO far as this session of
Congress is concerned.
The committee OF conference, after long
and careful consideration. lave reached
a disagreement, which will today be re-
ported to the Senate and House. 1t is not
change this diSa grcement, in view of the
fact that the House conferees are in
structed.
The bill as originally passed had in the
House large majority making billiard and
poolrooms entirely separate and distinct
from barrooms, allowing no connecting
doors, or even barsin adjacent rooms. The
Senate eliminated this provision Rnd sub
stituted therefor a para graph prohibiting
any one under twenty-one years OF age
from entering a place where liquors are
sold.
This action considerably wearied the
House and q resolution was adopted in
structing the conferees TO insist on the
provision passed by the House, separating
billiard and barrOoIns. The disagree
ment is largely due to these instructions
as otherwise some compromise might have
been adopted.
Much pressure has been brought to bear
upon the conference committee to prevent
legislation which would neceSsitate the
removal of bars from billiard-rooms. 1t
has been argued that this would operate
to the diSadvanta ge of nearly every hotel
in the city and several schemes have been
pointed out by which it would be pos
sible to eyade the law if enacted.
