Special TO Times Republican.
Des Moines, Feb. 1s.-The house fn-
ished the job of making prohibition eff
fective ten months hence without q
hitch in the program. The Clarkson
senate bill was passed, 70 to 90, every
member present.
When the Clarkson bin came up IL
was found there were eleven proposed
amendments On file, and after some
sparring as to the procedure the house
started in to dispose of them one by
one. with a roll call on every one.
Vets Planned Delay.
The vets had planned for delay or
that in some way the bill would have to
go back to the senate. where it was
known the chance of passage again
would be small When second spe-
cial order was reached. a bill to pros
vide detectives. IL was deferred for .
day Most of the amendments related
TO the time for going into effect, some
cutting it all out and others extending
time. These were offered by Griffin.
Rayburn, Rogers, Sawyer. Kane ana
Tucker.
One Freak Amendment.
One amendment was to appropriate
iiscated and pay persons thrown cut ce
employment. Another was to give the
governor fund of s15o,00O for enforce-
ment The amendments were all de-
feated on a division substantially like
that on the main question. Spirited
speeches in favor of amending were
made by Kane. Klinker and Jamisons
and Crozier closed debate for the bill.
Wets Cave Up Hope.
Even in the ranks of the liquor forces
of the house there seemed but little
doubt that the drys would win, as they
did in the senate last Friday, when the
Clarkson bill was passed. The only
question appeared to be the size OF the
majority Sanguine dry leaders claimed
that they would have close to eighty
votes.
Prior to the opening OF the session
there was reported to be strong sup-
port of the Crozier bill, which would
make the repeal of the mulct law ef>
fective six months earlier than the
measure which has received the ap-
proval of the senate. The bill would
be effective July !, and the Garrison
bill sets Jan. /, 1916.
Governor Will Sign.
The Clarkson bill repeals the mulct
law, effective Jan. /. 1916. The meas
ure already has passed the senate and
Will now go to the governor. who has
indicated his intention of signing 1t.
Under its provisions Iowa VIII return
to state e-wide statuatory prohibition.
Dramatic Ending.
The session had Il somewhat dra-
matte ending. When the roll call on
the main issue had been taken, there
was demand that the vote he verified.
Representative Ring moved that a de-
lay be granted until Bramer, of Polk.
who had been confined at Il local hos-
pital for n minor operation could reach
the house. The delay did not materials
ize. as Bramer reached the chamber
just in time 10 cast his vote.
All that remains to make the bill 4
law are the signatures of Lieutenant
Governor Harding and Speaker Atkin-
son and Governor Clarke. These sig
natures are expected to be attached
this week.
