That the administration of affairs IN

by the brewers Of Milwaukee and that
Washington, instead of being an ex-
ample for every city in the country, il
haven for brewers. are the charges

the meeting to begin the theater was
filled and enough people were on Penn
sylvania avenue to form an overflow
meeting. The greater number of the
audience were men. which fact Mrs.
Armor commented on, saying that IL
pleased her to see those who might do

fate.
Mrs. Armor stated that those who
were opposed to the bills were causing

After Mrs. Armors address, resolu-
tons were adopted calling attention OF
the members OF Congress To the condi-
tions in regard to the liquor traffic Of
Washington, and the fact that the Sem

The members OF the House were ad-
vised that the bill had failed of con-
sideration by that body because the
Committee on the District. to which II
had been referred. had failed of quo-
rum since the bill was placed In its
care.
Therefore. It was resolved that the
Committee on the District be discharged
and that the Committee on Rules should
at the earliest possible moment report

tn eHouse during this session OF Com

ten women was appointed 10 appear be-
