cars in Juarez and on the bridge
l.were attacked. The motormen and
conductors were dragged from the
cars and beaten. The cars were
wrecked and burned. A United States

PROHIBITION FOR U. S.
Bill for National Prohibition Passed
House Monday.

Washington, ID. c., Dec. 1.-THE
resolution to submit to the states a
national prohibition amendment to
the federal constitution was adopted
by the house.
With vote of two-thirds required
for its approval the vote of the house
announced by Speaker Clark was 2S2
to 12S, or 25 more than required.
A wild demonstration took place in
the house. William Jennings Bryan
on the floor and took seat
with Representative Webb as corecipi-
ent of congratulations.
A similar resolution was passed
by the senate at the last session, but
the house resolution gives the state
legislature seven years in which to
approve the amendment. while that
of the senate gives six. A motion to
concur in the change will be made in
the senate tomorrow, but IL one MEM
ber objects, action will have to go
over until after the holidays.
