FAVORSPROHIBITION'
FOR THE DISTRICT.

Three Hours Of Maneuverlng
and Heated Discussion.
VOTE is 10 FOR, 5 AGAINST

cuSslon, the Federation OF Citizens AS
sociations last night went on record as
favoring prohibition in the District, the
vote being thirteen for to FIVE against
the resolution, with one absent and four
not voting.
President Edward f. Colladay, who
occupied the chair. proved himself a
Speaker Clark as a parliamentarian. for
no tangle of motions, amendments, or
poluts OF order confused him, and one
member appealed from a ruling of the
chair but on a vote the chair was sus-
tanned
Practically all the delegates were In
structed how TO vote, but some whose
Instructions we're not clear refrained
from voting.
How Delegations Voted.
Before the vote was taken 1t was
agreed that there should be no debate.
but President Colladay ruled that every
delegate in casting his vote might read
the instructions Of his association or
explain his vote
The vote was as follows:

burn. Citizens Northwest Suburban.

can Institute of Architects.

avenue! Washington Society OF Fine

Much time was taken I'D in deciding
whether the resolution before the house
could be amended. It was originally
brought MP as a resolution passed by
the Petworth Citizens Association. This
was brought before the federation in the
regular order several months ago. and
referred TO it's constituent bodies. which
instructed their respective delegates
Referendum Resolve Referred
When William Nick. Clayton. of tho
Brightwood Park Citizens Association.
offered an amendment to the original
resolution. Col. c. G. Lancaster. OF the
Citizens Northwest Suburban Associa-
ton. said his instructions were on tho
original resolution. and that u It were
amended he. as well as all other In
structed delegates. would be released.
He protested that the original resolu-
tlon was not subject to amendment by
the federation. and the chair. after
much debate. upheld that point. ~.
Later Mr.. CLAYTON. under a suspension
OF the rules. offered the resolution Of
his association. which asked that Con"
gress provide for referendum vote In
the District on the question OF prohibi-
ton. In spite OF vigorous appeal on
hts part for immediate action. the reso-
lution was referred to the committee on
finance and legislation.
