KENY0N'S BILL -
COMES UP EARLY.
LIQUOR MEASURE OF iOWA'S
JUNIOR SENATOR MUST BE
y ACTED UPON BY DEC. Is.
TBY E. H. HANSON.]

Washington, D. c., Nov. 2S.-Sena'
tor Kenyon's liquor bill will be one
Of the first measures to be called up
for action after congress convenes
Monday. Under special order of the
senate it must be passed or rejected
on or before December 16. Its spon'
sors are very hopeful of its enactment
into law during the present short SEES
sion.
This bill aims to stop the shipment
of liquor into dry territory In inter
state commerce. There Is no question
as to the fairness of the measure,
even in the minds of its opponents
but the large bottling works Of the
country are strongly opposed to Its
passage and for months past there
has been a we'll organized lobby
against it. There is not member
or a senator who has not been sound.
ed as to his attitude on the matter and
when it does come up for passage
every effort will be made to defeat it.
A like bill is pending in the house,
having been introduced by Represen.
tative Morris Shepard Of Texas, sena-
tor-elect from that state, to succeed
Joe Bailey.
Another liquor measure which will
be fought out is the Jones-Works ex-
else bill, revising the excise laws for
the District of Columbia. Every
church. every reform organization and
every civic society in the district is
united in an effort to push this bill
through the house. They succeeded
in getting it through the senate near
the close of the session last summer.
Likewise the forces of liquor are doing
their best to prevent it's passage.
Senator Kenyon also has a bill
amending the Sherman antitrust law,
providing for Jail sentences. 1t will
undoubtedly be brought UP for early
action in the senate while several
similar bills are likely to be called up
in the house.
The negro question is becoming
more and more difficult Of solution in
the District of Columbia every day.
In fact conditions are now such that
several petitions asking for Jim
crow" street cars will be presented to
congress and a petition asking for a
segregation of the blacks may be pre-
scented.
One-third of the capital clty's popu-
lation is black and this fact, more
than anything else. has prevented a
change in the archaic form of govern
ment of the district, In any kind Of
an election, the negroes would hold
the balance of power and for political
purposes, neither of the two great ma
tional parties would dare enact any

Because their present bonds, ag-

the court late yesterday that within
q reasonable time" they must procure
new bonds or remain in jail during the
intervals between sessions of the trial.
The court held that as it was on the
eve of holiday he would not enforce
his ruling last night in which event
attorneys for the defense said the de-
PENDANTS must inevitably have gone
to jail, for new bonds could not be
