CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENT
 FOR NATIONAL PROHIBITION
FniaI Struggle Over the Hobson Meas
 ure to Begin in House This Morn


 Washington, Dec. 21.-Legislative weapons were furbished up today for the final struggle in the house of rep resentatives tomorrow over the Hob son constitutional amendment for na- tional prohibition. The fight begins at 10 o'clock tomorrow morning to last until the roll is called on the res olution to submit. the amendment to the state legislatures for ratification.
 Both Sides Confident.
 Opponents of prohibition were cer- tain tonight that it would be i1npoS- sible to muster the affirmative vote of two-thirds of the house necessary to send the joint resolution to the senate. claimed substantial majority which at least would assure victory in the preliminary skirmish-the vote on the special rule, presented by Chairman Henry of the rules commit tee. for the consideration of the Hob son resolution.
 Vote on Special Rule After Two
 Hours' of Debate.
 The rule will be voted on after two hours of debate. and it's adoption is virtually conceded, as many opponents of the resolution itself have announced their intention of voting for the rule to open the way for the final action on the question.
 Under the terms of the rule, eight hours of general debate will be el- lowed on the resolution and a field day of oratory was in prospect tonight. Representative Hobson-had a list of some thirty members who wished to speak in support of the measure and numerous applications had been made for time in opposition.
 Efforts to Arrive at Division Failed.
 All efforts to arrive at division of time failed, so Speaker Clark will equally as possible. Majority Leader Underwood heads the list of speakers expected to oppose the resolution. while Representative Hobson will lead the advocates.
 The Amendment.
 The Hobson resolution proposes a constitutional amendment as follows:
 Section 1-The sale, manufacture for sale, transportation for sale, expor- tation for sale, and importation for sale, of intoxicating liquors for bev- craze purposes in the United States and all territory subject to the juris diction thereof are forever prohibited.
 Section 2-Congress shall have power to provide for the manufacture, sale, importation and transportation of intoxicating liquors for sacramental. medicinal. mechanical, pharmaceutical or scientific purposes or for use in the arts and shall have power to en- force this article by all needful leg islation.'
 The resolution carries a preamble setting forth that science has dem onstrated alcohol to be narcotic poison and reciting its evil effects.
 300 Prohibition Leaders in Washington
 There were some three hundred members in Washington tonight and prohibition leaders asserted their con fldence that well over one-haR of these would vote in favor of the res olution.

 The Edsemere cottage and grounds, located on Mantle avenue at Watch Hill, has been purchased by Mrs. Julia w. Anderson, of Watch Hill, from Edward Worthington, Wilson Worthington and Vachel W. Anderson, trustees under the will of Louisa Skinner, and Jeanette Alice Davis. This property is on the east side of Mantle avenue and adjoins the An derson property. The purchase gives to Mrs. Anderson ownership of all the property between Everett and Mis- tuxet avenues, from Mantle avenue to the ocean front. Edgemere is sold subject to the lease of John s. New berry, which expires April 15, 1916.
 A very effective, if not strictly legas method, has been applied in Westerly for the collection of a debt, and it is hinted that the courts will be asked to pass upon the legality of the action. A laborer who was in the employ of a corporation was surprised to find that his pay envelope had been opened be- fore it reached him and that there was a shortage in his pay of about S9. In place of the cash was a receipted bill representing the amount he owed a local merchant. The laborer believes that his pay envelope was sealed when it left the paymaster and that it had been opened before it reached him and that the receipted bill was substituted for cash.
 He claims that it was his intention to pay the bill at time more favora- ble to him, and contends that there is a. legal way to get the money if pay ment was to be hurried, and that no person had any more right to take his money from his pay envelope than out of his pocket, or his bureau drawer at his home.
