Important Liquor Bill VIII Be
Fought Out Wednesday.
Measures Strengthening PrOhi-
bition Up for Consideration.
MAY CHECK 1T UP TO SENATE
FavOrite Pastime of "Passing
the Buck" May Be Revived.
Largest Lobby in Many Years Is
Looked for in Topeka.

Wednesday will be field day for
bone dry liquor bills on the house
calendar. Under a motion today 10y
liquor bills on the house calendar
were set down as special order for
IL O'Clock Wednesday morning.
At this time there is uncertainty as
to the extent which house members
will go in providing the state an abso-
lutte bone dry liquor law. The bill as
drawn by the attorney generals Of
flee and submitted as a committee bill
would prohibit the shipment Of IqlIhr
into this state for other than sacra-
mental purposes. Other measures
would prohibit the ownership of liquor
in any form. The Stone bill makes
the place of delivery the place of sale
and is regarded as an effective bar
against the shipment of liquor into
Kansas.
Passage of a bill prohibiting indi-
viduals owning liquor. however, is
quite another matter. A number of
house members have declared they
would favor such a measure. Other
members are either quietly opposed to
such a law or doubt the wisdom of
such an enactment. No action in the
house during the present session has
given an indication as to the probable
attitude of that body on a test vote.
Pass Buck to Senate
One rumor in the state house is to
the effect that the house may pass
an absolutely bone dry bill and check
the matter up to the senate. That
was a favorite pastime in former
years. 1t was the policy which the
house pursued in 1911 when it passed
the suffrage amendment. The prac-
tice went out of style somewhat when
the senate concurred in the resolution
and nearly broke the hearts of house
members who quietly opposed a suf-
frage measure but voted for the res
Olution on roll call.
All pending liquor bills are to be
called up under the Wednesday spe-
cial order and it is possible that one
of the largest lobbies which has at
] tended the legislative sessions this
year will be present to watch the
fight. The committee measure -
House Bill No. 432-has been printed
and is now on the calendar.

Washington, Jan. ga big cabinet

learned today. This will be in addi-

will take place about March or very
soon thereafter.
These expected cabinet changes,
however, wilt not begin. it is believed,
until several months after the presi-
dents second inauguration. In all

of 500 men and women, incense1 at
not being allowed to cross the bridge
until bathed, began throwing stones

of the guards were injured by the mis-

Sergeant Peck, of Company A,

was struck by the shower of stones
and injured about the head. Roy

Company A charged the mob and
