Voted Against Submitting

Jefferson City.-The joint conference
committee Of the senate and house, ap.

In a conference lasting less than half
an hour. This mean the failure OF
prohibition submission this session.
Four voted in favor of the tax rider,
Senators McAllister and Gardner and
Representatives Hart and Foristcl.
Practically the same expression was
given on the provision to make pro.
hibition effective in 1918 in the event
of its submission and adoption at the
polls.
Though those favoring the submits
sion Of the proposed constitutional
amendment were in the majority on
the conference committee, a unani-
mous report made merely conveying to
the two houses the failure of the COM
mittee to agree.
No attempt will be made by the
majority of the committee to influence
the future action of either the senate
or house. The function of the commit.
tee was confined to consideration of the
tax rider and to the 1913 amendment
and not as to whether the prohibition
resolution should be submitted.
A recommendation will be made by
the joint committee that it be dis
charged and that another committee
be selected to consider the amend.

ger.
The failure of the committee to
reach a decision and the announced
intention of the majority not to make
any recommendations to the legislature
indicates the death of prohibition, so
far as submission this session Is con-
CerCncd.
There is little probability Of the
senate %rcccding from its position in
favor of the tax rider, and even less
chance of the house %Concurring in the

ton resolution.
A second conference committee
would not be apt to have any greater
success than the present one.

Nero's Golden House.

The golden house of Nero seems
from all accounts TO have been the
most aupendous dwelling place ever
built for a mortal man. Even IL We
regard the ancient descriptions as
somewhat exaggerated II remains one
of the largest royal houses ever built,
and the internal decorations seem TO
have been incomparably magnificent.
1t was surrounded by parks. woods
and pools of great size. which appear
to have been entirely within the walls.
The eolonnades Of the house itself ex-
tended a mile in length and crossed
one of the main thoroughfares Of the
city. The cities Of the east were ran
sacked for masterpieces Of Greek art
for the interior. The walls shone with
gold and pearls, and the roof rested on
marble columns Of enormous size and
beauty-New York American.
