BILL. PASSED TO
AID DRY STATES
House Measure Authorizes Them
to Seize Liquor Shipped
across Their Borders.

Wa. hiugtou, Feb "a vote uf 2in to
- in tn" House of Representatives. last
oNcuin@ PASSED the bill fath"red by
Representative Webb of North Carolina.
which forbids tho interstate shipment
of intoxicating beverages into prohibition
territory. This measure IS the most far
reaching piece Of anti-liquor legislation
ever nut before Congress. It is intended
to strengthen the hands Of prohibition
and local option States iu the prosecution
of violations of their laws against tn"
sale of intoxicants. In principle II is sim
liar to the bill Of Senator Kenyon of
Iowa. which was passed by tho Senate
recently. ana the action Of tho House ON
the Webb bill seems TO assure agreement
on a composite anti-liquor measure.
Argument on the floor that the Webb
hill was unconstitutional In giving the
right of prosecution to the States made
little Roadway with the representatives
Advocates of the bill appealed to the
House to vote down amendments propos-
ing Penalties for violation of the terms of
the act, and in every case those appeals
were successful. It was charged by the
hill's sponsors that the amendments,
which would have the effect of requiring
that prosecution should be begun in the
federal and not the State courts. We're
proposed by enemies of the measure and
were designed y cripple it.
PURPOSE or THE BILL.
The purpose Of the Webb bill was set
forth in the following extract from the
j. port of the committee on the judiciary.

Al Navy Lenrue Convention

Mir. c. A. Hammond is in Washing ton, h. C., attending the three days convention of the Navy League Of the United States of which he Is a mem- Der The convention Is being held at the New Willard hotel, beginning al 8 o'clock this Thursday
 The League is non-partisan patrl- otie organization which is prepared to show that an adequate navy is the best guarantee of peace, that battle ships are cheaper than battles, that n navy not strong enough k not worth ils cost, that within year or two npowers" have broken international treaties, and that international efforts for the limitation Of armaments have completely failed.
 Those great controversial questions of naval policy upon which, in the eyes of experts, the very life of that branch of the service depends will form the bone of contention at the three days convention.
 There arc three big questions to be fought out with relation to naval poll. cies, and the position upon these issues of this society, which is composed of the naval enthusiasts of the United States, is regarded as of particular i'm portanoe al this particular time. All is now chaos with regard to the gov ernment's policy in respect to the big problems of the navy. The gauntlet will be thrown down on these eXigen- cies and all the world will be asked to contribute information tending toward their proper understanding.
 There will be papers read by some oi the leading authorities of the country on naval affairs.
