FOR ALL THE j. s.
Senate Judiciary Subcommit-
tee Unanimously Votes for
Sheppard Resolution.

Without a dissenting vote. a sub
committee of the Senate judiciary COM
mittee yesterday afternoon ordered a
favorable report to the full committee
on the Sheppard resolution providing
for an amendment 10 the Constitution
for nationwide prohibition. The sub
committee consisted of Senator Chill
ton. West Virginia. chairman: Senators
Fletcher. Florida: Shields. Tennessee
Borah, Idaho, and Cummins, Iowa.
This is the same subcommittee, with
the exception of Senator Cummins, who
replaced Senator Dillingham; of Yer
mont. which reported favorably a SIM
liar resolution to the full committee at
the last session of Congress. The full
committee did not act upon it at that
time.
Every effort will be made to have the
full committee take action on the res
olution at an early date. If the resolu-
ton is reported to the Senate. as its
supporters insist it will be. ii must
then run the gauntlet of a long debate
and in the end must receive two
thirds majority vote to be adopted. as
is the case with all resolutions propoS-
ing constitutional amendments.

permitted to present he resolution. Those

dition to the proponent. We're William
, Mex. Clayton and Robert y. Harper.
Andrew Wilson, E. Hilton jackson and
+. S. Brashears were its opponents.
Mr. Clayton said the matter of prohibit
ton is one of great Importance. and that
every person in the District should have
the right to vote on it. Mr.. Jackson re-
piled that the referendum resolution was
unique and groteSque that it did not
provide that in event the people of the
District should vote in favor of prohibi-
ton Congress will carry out the wishes
of the people by the enactment Of law
providing for prohibition. Mr.. Harper
said he favored the resolution because it
provided that the people of the District
shall have the right to vote on this ques-
ton in the same manner the citizens
of the states. where prohibition and other
equally important matters are acted upon.
Mr. Wilson quoted freely from speeches
of Senator Works of California in urging
that the board reject the resolution.
When the matter was put to vote
an overwhelming ma jority of members
were in favor of the adoption of the
resolution

prohibition in the District was sub
mitted to the board by Chris J. Cooke
Ter. it having previously been submit
ted to the executive committee and
board of directors of the organization.
Mr.. Gockeler moved that not more
than thirty minutes be allowed for de-
bate on the resolution, each side to
have fifteen minutes. L. S. Brashears
objected to this plan on the ground
that the question was one of great i'm
portance. and a longer time should be
allowed for it's sheraton. He NOV
ed that twenty-five minutes be allow
ed each side. When put to 4 vote MIR.
Brashears motion was defeated,
whereupon Philip Walker moved that
the whole matter be laid on the table
until the next meeting of the board.
Objection to this plan was raised on
the ground that the matter could not
be set aside in that manner for an in
definite period. President Branden-
burg sustained the objection.

Three topics of more than usual in

New Willard Hotel-a meeting at which
the attendance was the greatest in the
history of the organization. there be-

topics included:
A talk on national preparedness by
Vice President Marshall

the District and relations between citi

Congress by Representative Lloyd of
Missouri.

After spirited debate lasting half
an hour the board adopted the referen-

District of Columbia to determine
whether the community favors abso-
lutte prohibition of the liquor traffic, or

Vice President Marshall's talk was
largely of a humorous nature, his jest :
full comments on Congress and the Of
flee of Vice President of the United
States keeping his audience in laugh
ter almost continuously. The question
of national preparedness he dealt with
In a serious manner. however.
Il am for preparedness, said the
Vice President. Il am for something
being done to see that no hostile foot
ever is placed on the soil of America.
There are some men who want forty
two centimeter guns placed at close in
tervalS all over the land: there are
others who say we should meet an
enemy with brass band and big
feed and that we should humor him
and quiet his anger. But there is Il
middle ground which conservative men
are in favor of following.

Berlin. May 10.-The American an
swer 10 the German note was delivered
to the Foreign Office by Ambassador
Gerard at ] o'clock this afternoon.
The text of the answer was printed in
the morning newspapers here from a
British news agency dispatch.
With the presentation of the note
the German-American submarine con-
troversy is regarded here as settled,
and negotiations, so far as they con-
Germ the past. are virtually closed.
Germany holds that its orders to
submarine commanders were issued
without strings or conditions, and that
therefore there is little occasion 20
take up the latest note for further
discussion.
Both the "Lokal Anzeiger" and the
"Zeitung Am Mittag" regard the note
as acceptable to Germany. The latter
says that the German-American crisis,
with its danger Of rupture, is now
a thing of the past. The paper is not
altogether pleased with the manner of
expression of the note, but says that
that is unimportant.
"The main thing II adds, us that
the relations Of the two countries con
tinue, to the great disappointment OF
all Germany's enemies, who will doubt
less now try TO interpret the answer
as limiting that rupture is only tenn
porarily postponed. The American
note. however, does not indicate that
the United States understood Ger
many's expectations in the light OF
conditions and the reference thereto
in the American answer is made merely
for the sake OF clearness.
Germans realize that American
citizens cannot be required to suffer
for English inhumanity and disregard
of laws"

the Sussex case as an indication thai
Germany is prepared to act uprightiy

SAYS LADS TRICK GOT
DAUGHTERS DOLLAR
Mother Charges Youth with
Working Old Paper Game.

Nora Perkins had Cften gone to the
grocery store, but never with a dollar
bill. As there was no smaller change
in the house yesterday, her mother
thought she could amply serve as safe
custodian for the dollar.
Mrs. Perkins misjudged her daughter.
Holding the bill before her the nine
year-old girl walked down Columbus
Avenue until she met a thoughtful
youth, who spied her dollar. II was a
case of love at first sight.
"Here, kid" he said, some one will
get that bill il you don't put II out OF
sight. Let me wrap 1t up fo- you in a
piece of newspaper
Prestol Nora had the paper and the
youth the bill. Nora didn't know IL un-
til the groceryman told her. Then sne
went back TO her home, 752 Columbus
Avenue, and told her mother.
After three-hour search Mrs. Per-
kins came upon a youth. He fought and
she fought, Policeman Quinn coming up
as a reserve force. At the West Tooth
Street station the prisoner said he was
Patrick Tyrello. He was held, charged
with petty larceny.
