NO LIQUOR TO DRY STATES.
Members from the Wet Districts Vote
 SoIidly Against Webb Bill.

Solidly Against Webb Bill.
 Washington.-Th House passed the Webb bill prohibiting interstate ship ments of intoxicating liquor intended for sale into dry" States. The vote for the measure was 240 to 65. The bin makes 1t unlawful to ship. trans port or receive intoxicating liquors for the purpose of illegal sale or use in any States or territories that have prohibited its sale. 1t is designed 10 prevent blind tigers" Under author. ig of the proposed law liquor sent 10 dry" State may be seized upon its arrival if the local authorities be. neve il is intended for sale.
 The Webb bill does not prohibit de- livery of liquor te individuals in dry States who want il for their own per. sonal use. The passage of this bill represents the first successful effort on the part of temperance advocates to strike the liquor interests through Federal Legislation It is aeknowl' edged that the enactment Of the bill will be one of the hardest blows the makers of wet" goods ever received The bitter fight against the measure will be transferred to the Senate.

(Staff Correspondent Of the United
Press.)

WASHINGTON, Aug. ITO end all
irresponsible stories OF impending
armed Intervention in Mexico, Presi-
dent Wilson today prepared to take
the public into his confidence. After
the president held conference with
Secretary Of State Bryan, it was made
known In administration circles that
the president considers Intervention
not alone an improbability, but hard
ly even the remotest possibility The
Mexican situation is cleari' up, ac-
cording TO every account received at
the White house. and the time has
arrived In the opinion of the presi-
dent when he can at least indicate
the>flrst of the successive steps which
he will take in aiding the restoration
of peace.
The entire plan under consideration
provided for a comprehensive sugges-
ton of mediation: further first hand
Investigation OF the causes which have
been behind the various Mexican out
breaks, and. possibly, as a final re-
sort, removal of the prohibition
against supplying arms TO the con
stitutionalists in the north.
How far the president was pre-
pared to 90 along this line was not
indicated because. il was explained
that, between now and the issuance of
the statement something might arise
TO cause a modification of certain
features of the plan.
Ii was made very plain when the
president talked with the newspaper
correspondents today that he expects
cooperation from the senate and
house committees on foreign relations
ON his plan. Both Senator Bacon and
Rep. Flood, IL was explained, have
been in touch with the executive at
all times. whenever Mexican affairs
were up for consideration. And the
plan TO hear the side of the consti-
tutionalists, especially the granting
of an audience TO Col. Eduardo Hay
was arrived at only when Senator
Bacon had asked the presidents adj
vice.
The president and Secretary Bryan
in an early morning conference,
formally approved the plan which Is
to be outlined probably late today.
They also discussed the status of
Ambassador Henry Lane Wilson, who
was even then in an outer room at the
executive Offices. The outccne of Slis
latter part of the conference was TO
be indicated by the secretary OF state
later The ambassador did not see
the president. but had an appoint
ment with Bryan. 1t was expected
that a formal announcement of the
ambassadors resignation would be
made, If not today in the very near
future.

CRUSADE AGAINST
SLIT SKIRT OPENS
Chicago Club Women Declare
Themselves Willing To Join
st. Paul Leaders

CHICAGO, Aug. 4.-Chicago club
women announced today that they
were willing to join hands with St
Paul women who are planning a ma
tlon-wide protest to manufacturers,
designers and modistes responsible
COR the split skirt and the diapha-
nous gown.
Mrs. John w Robbins, OF the Chr
cago Weman's club, said she believed
that organization would enlist In the
movement
The way a great many women
dress on the streets nowaday, you
would think they were chorus girls
or vaudeville artists" said Mrs. Rob
bins. 1t is really shocking. Their
costumes present study in anatomy
instead OF fashion"
Mrs. William NJ. Welch, member
OF the same club. said she thought
the movement very timely.
Il am especially opposed to the
way high school girls attire them
selves" said Mrs. Welch. "Modesty
seems to be absolutely lacking in
their dress"
Chicago women would have the
resolution OF protest broadened TO
include a condemnation OF low neck
gowns, the dress with the clinging ef-
feet, and the startling bathing suit,
as we'll as the slit skirt.
