PROHIBITION MEASURE
DOOMED IN THE HOUSE
A Vote Will BE Forced Soon
and Democratic Leaders
Will Not Object.

wAsHiSGroN. May S--A vote in the
House at this session on the proposed
amendment providing for national PROFIT
bition OF the liquor traffic Is assured. The
old policy Of evasion of this issue in Con-
gress was abandoned on the advice Of
Representative Underwood. the Demo-
cratic leader.
II has been agreed by the House leaders
that the prohibition amendment reported
by the Jud dietary Committee early this
week shall be brought up for vote in
the near future. The news has filled with
terror members who were hopeful that
this proposal would be put over until the
December session.
II will he decided within the next day
or so whether or not the prohibition
amendment will b. considered as n part
of the legislative programme that is to
be framed at the Democratic caucus TO
be held next Tuesday.
A resolution will be offered AT the
caucus fixing time for vote on the
prohibition amendment and will not be
opposed by the leaders. The leaders have
counted noses and are convinced that
whatever the action OF the caucus the
prohibition amendment is doomed.
The advocates OF prohibition formerly
declared that they would tolerate no
further delay In vote on this question.
Now they are asking that action be de-
ferred until December. In a statement
made public a day or so ago Representa-
tive Hohson. tho leader OF the temperance
forces i'm Congress urged that a vote
on the prohibition amendment be put over
until next winter. BY that time. he
argued, the people would be fully advised
on the question.
The opponents OF the amendment
throughout the country have been busy
this week. They are bombarding menu
beers with kilograms OF protest and II
already is apparent that whatever is the
decision of the House prohibition will be
made an issue in the coming campaign.
