TO SHOW STAND
ON PROHIBITION.
Action Of Senate Committee
on Smith Nomination
Eagerly Awaited.
WILL REPORT OUT BILL
Senator Jones Says Dry" Measure
Will Reach Floor of Upper
Chamber.
WILL REPORT OUT BILL
BY JOSEPH p. AMIN,

Action by the Senate District Com
mittee on the nomination of Robert @.
Smith, reappointed to the District Ex-
else Board, will indicate largely the
attitude of the committee on the ques-
ton of prohibition for the District.
Senator Wesley l.. Jones, OF WASH
ington. declared yesterday that the
committee would report out a District
prohibition bill at this session. II
the committee reports favorably on
such a bill. there Is more than an even
chance of its passage in the Senate.
The nomination of Gen. Smith now
is before subcommittee composed of
Senator's Kern, chairman; Martin.
salisbury, Jones and Works. Indica-
tions are that this committee will re-
port unfavorably by a vote of to 2.
There is just about an even chance
that this report will be upheld by the
full committee by vote of 8 to 6,
though the question of prohibition will
not be. altogether the determining fac
tor. The fact that Gen. Smith Is a
Presidential appointment, on the one
hand. and that he was severely criti-
cised by a Senatorial committee inves-
tigating he Excise Board. on the other
will influence members of the commit
tee.
On lne straight pronlDltlon question
however, the issue is no less closely
drawn. A poll Of the committee of four.
teen members at present would result in
a division about as follows:
For prohibition-SenatorsK Kern, Dilling
ham. Jones, Works, Kenyon and Steri.
ing-5
Against prohibition-Senators Smith, OF
Maryland: Pomerene, Smith, OF Arizona
James and Sherman-5
Doubtful-Senators Hollis. Salisbury
and Martini
While there probably would be changes
in the above alignment as regards indi.
vidusls, the numerical strength may
safely be put down as indicated. The
assurance with which Senator Jones yes
terday declared that a prohibition bill
would come out OF the District Commit
tee indicates the strength developed by
the prohibition forces.
