Prohibition Vote Had
More Than Majority
But Not Two Thirds

Washington, Dec. 23.-Hobson's re-
solution to submit constitutional
amendment for national prohibition to
the state legislatures did not get the
two thirds vote necessary in the house
last night; 1877 voting for, and 1S9

thirds is required to adopt the resolu.
tion.t
Prohibition leaders said the major
ity for the resolution fulfilled their ex-
pectations, as they had not hoped for
two-thirds vote of those present.
Administration leaders last night
thought it unlikely that a similar re-
solution pending, in the senate would
reach a vote at this session. On the
final vote 1856 votes were recorded. To
carry would have required 25S.
1t was after ten hours OF remarkable
debate that the final vote came, closing
one OF the most stormy contests in
recent days in congress. Following
votes on several amendments, Repre-
sentative Hobson closed the general
debate. participated in by all house

MAY SEND CAR OF
RABBITS TO 8ELGiANs

: Madison. S, D.. Dec. 23.--The
unusual abundance of jack rabbits
this winter has made them drug
on the market and a scheme is on
foot to collect a carload to send to
the starving Belgians. There will
be no difficulty about getting that
amount OF rabbit meat together as
a few organized hunts would pro-
duce the desired result at the same
time affording fine sport Ecr the
hunters. The only difficulty is in
getting ship to take fresh meat.
IL this can be overcome South Da-
kota can furnish every man, wo-
man and child In Belgium with a
pair OF jack rabbits.
Some one has suggested that
sending jackrabbits to the native
land OF the Belgian hare will be
like carrying Goals to Newcastle,
but in reply It is asserted that ev-
cry hare in Belgium has been scar
ed to death long ere this and it
may be necessary after the war to
appeal t0 South Dakota for new
stock. F-E#
