Steal March on "Antis."

The prohibitionists in the Senate stole
q march on the "antis" today. 1t was
at their insistence that Senator John
Walter Smith of Maryland called a
meeting of the District committee for
today, the first since the opening of the
present session of Congress. And at
the meeting of the committee today the
prohibition members all turned up,
while most of the opponents were not
present. At the meeting were Senator
John Walter Smith of Maryland, chair
man; Senators Martin, James, Works.
Jones, Dillingham;. Sterling, Sherman
and Kenyon.
While Senator Martin desired to be
counted present at the full committee
meeting today, he was called away to
attend meeting of the appropriations
committee and Senator Jones submitted
the report of the subcommittee for
Senator Martin to the full committee
The motion to adopt the recommended
tons of the subcommittee was made
by Senator Kenyon of Iowa. A motion
to delay action for week and to in
sert in the bill a provision for a ref
erendUm was made by Senator James
The James motion was voted down.
while the Kenyon motion was adopted
1t had been predicted confidently that
the Senate committee would have long
hearings on prohibition before it took
any action on the dry bills pending
before it
The committee. dominated by the
prohibitionists. to-day absolutely refused
TO hold hearings and insisted upon an
immediate report, although Chairman
Smith suggested that il would be ad-
yisable TO have hearings and at least
TO get the District Commissioners be-
fore the committee.
What's the use of hearings on this
bill?' said the prohibition members
Every one knows all about conditions
in the District and about prohibition in
general"
The decision to report the bill with
out recommendation. SO as to get it on
the Senate calendar, was made without
a record vote The ants were hope
lessly in the minority.
The amendment providing fer refer
endum of the prohibition question to
the residents of the District was voted
down overwhelmingly. The prohibit
tionists are strongly opposed to hav-
this matter. although the people of the
states have, Of course. passed on the
question Of prohibition wherever it has
been adopted.
The action OF the committee in making
the report Of the bill was in accorda nee
with the recornlen dation of the subcofn-
rnittee Of the District committee OH excise
laws. This subcommittee met late yes
tcrday afternoon and decided to recon-
mend the fun committee that the
Sheppard bill be reported without recon-
nendation. On the subcommittee are
Senators Martin. Salisbury, Works and
Jones. All were present yesterday except
