After the Judge had peen in the

time, Mrs. krauss became alarmed
Vt his absence, and called to him. Re.

WEBB ANTI-LIQU0R BILL
REPESSED BY THE HOUSE

Washington, Feb. 12.-By a viva voce
vote the house repassed the Webb an
ti-liquor bill yesterday as it passed the
senate, thereby removing a parliamen-
tary obstruction that threatened TO de
lay its passage until another session
of congress.
The measure prohibits shipment of
intoxicating liquors into dry" states.
Although the parliamentary experts
thought earlier in the day that a spe.
cial rule would be required to get the
bill before the house again, Represen,
tative Clayton OF Alabama called the
measure up under a rule permitting
the house to consider without refer
ence to a committee any bill passed
by the senate that is substantially the
same as one that has been reported by
house committee.
The republican leader, Mr.. Mann, and
Representative Fitzgerald made point:
Of order against the bill, contending il
did not come within the rule because
II was not a house calendar. and be
cause it had a senate instead OF {
house number.
Speaker Clark overruled the point.
OF order and the bill was passed with
out debate or division.

AIMING AT DEMOCRATS
Senate Adopts Amendment for
Direct Election of Federal
Representatives.

Springfield, ILL.,. Feb. 12.-As a ft-
ting commemoration OF the birthday
Of Lincoln the senate today radifed,
40 to 0, the proposed amendment to
the federal constitution providing for
election Of senators by direct vote
of the people.
Speaker Mckinley today handled
the progressives without gloves and
despite their demands for roll call,
announced that the resolution for d.
rect election OF senators, which has
just passed the senate and been re-
ported to the house for concurance,
would lie upon the table for the pres
ent.
PUT ON TABLE.
Carter, progressive, said the right
time to pass the amendment was to-
day-Lincoln's birthday.
Smejkal moved that the message
from the senate lie on the speakers
table until more opportune time for
consideration.
Mckinley said: "Ail those In favor
of the motion will respond by say
ing aye. those opposed no. The noes
have it and the message from the SEN,
ate will lie upon the table for the
present"
! The speaker worked so rapidly that
progressives were swept of their feet.
ROLL CALL TOMORROW.
Medill Mccormick and Representa-
| tive Curran, progressives, informed
the speaker five members demanded
roll call. The speaker calmly dis
missed their complaint, saying: You
can have a roll call at the request
of one member Thursday. The house
has arrived for the joint session to
ballot on United States senators"
sHERMAN's CHANCES GOOD.
There seems to be a possibility that
the factional troubles within the demo
cratic party will pave the way for the
election of Sherman fC- the long term
and Funk for the short term by a COM
bination of republicans and progress
sives. The progressives refused to
combine with the republicans on the
speakership, but are actively seeking
to form an alliance with them on the
senatorships.
Republican and progressive leaders
had a conference last night and are
reported to be making progress. The
rs republican votes and q progress
sives make the exact majority of 102
necessary for the election of a sena-
tor.
One factor that seems to make q re-
publican-progressive combination q
possibility is the opposition shown
throughout the state to the election
OF a long term republican senator ana
short term democratic senator as
part of the speakership bargain.
DEAL PROBABLY BALKED.
Governor Dunno and others have
raised such an outcry against the re-
ported deal that there is serious
doubt whether those who are under
stood to have promised to deliver the
republicans and democrats can make
good their promises. 1t might be pos
sible to deliver 81 democratic votes to
Sherman, but 1t would be extremely
difficult to turn over enough republi
can votes to Boeschenstein to brint
his total up to 102.
Mr.. Boeschenstein also is under
stood to feel that he could not accep
the senatorship if Colonel Lewis were
sacrificed.
