KENYON DRY" BILL
Bill To Prevent Shipment Of
Liquor Into Prohibition
States Likely To Pass.

Washington, July ga most impor-
tant step toward legislation to keep
liquor u of "dry" territory was taken
this morning when the Senate judiciary
committee ordered Senator Cummins
to make a favorable report on the Ken
yon bill amended by the bill of Senator
Sanders, Of Tennessee.
Wide difference of opinion prevails
among the lawyers on the judiciary
committee as to the bills constitution
ality. But the disposition Of most Of
them was to put the matter up to the
supreme court and get a decision. I'm
til that is done it will be impossible
to settle the c~ontroverted law points.
The amended bill practically pro-
hibits shipment Of liquor into any state
in violation of the law of the state.
Senator Kenyon had been urging a
report n Senator Cummins today sue
ceeded in getting the committee to act.
No end of letters have come here from
Iowa urging that the Kenyon bill be
gotten out of committee and placed be-
fore the Senate.
