Absolute prohibition: an utter dearth

border disguised in any form-this is
the result of the bone dry" law passed
by the House yesterday as rider on

Whether or not the District OF Co
lumbia will be bone dry under the COM

the Sheppard-Barkley bill now in
the District committee of the House. is
a question exciting the interest of the
House and many persons outside the
capitol Members of Congress who be-
1ieve the bone dry enactment would
not touch the District base their con-
tention on the fact that an attempt was
made on the floor of the House yester-

though they might come in the pro-
hibited class if the letter of the law
was strictly followed.
For example, the American flag is
printed on the cover page of the official
guiie of Washington. Several merchants
withdrew the guide from their stock of
publications, but were informed by the
district attorneys office that, though II
might be barred under a strict enforce
ment of the law, no action would be taken
as the spirit of the law manifestly did not
intend that the sale of such publication
should be prevented One dealer had
ordered large stock of pictures of gov

veloped that the sale of this merchandise

the Reed amendment.
The amendment marks virtually the
only step ever taken by the federal
government, aside from the internal
revenue laws, to extend it's control over
the liquor traffic throughout the states.
1t is the only important federal legisla-
ton affecting liquor shipments except
ing the Webb Kenyon law, which mere
ly gave federal force to state regula :
lions by providing that no liquor shall
be imported into states which forbid
its importation.
Whoever shall order. purchase or

amendment stipulates. except for

1t also is provided that no newspaper

Sherley Amendment Defeated.
In addition to the attempt made to
specify the District of Columbia an
other amendment was offered by Rep
resentative Sherley Of Kentucky. al
lowing a year to elapse before the
measure should become effective. This
also was defeated.
There has been nothing in years
which has stirred the House so much
as the "bone-dry" amendment. Not
even the McLemore resolution has
aroused so much cloakroom discussion.
It has been openly charged that the
liquor forces themselves planned the
"bone-dry" legislation because they
believed by enacting anything so dras-
tic they could effectively check the pro-
hibition movement in states now wet
but wavering.
In fact. several members of the House
have received kilograms from prohibit
ton workers asking them to vote
against the bone-dry amendment. On
the other hand, the national board of
temperance of the Methodist Episcopal
Church sent out a formal statement to
the effect that it had been absolutely,
uneQuivocally" in favor of the bone-dry
amendment.

"Drys" Feared Reaction.

During debate on the amendment
many criticisms of the stringent provi-
sions were voiced by the friends of pro-
hibition, who felt that such rigid stipu-
lations might react seriously against
the prohibition cause. With federal su
pervision, they suggested, would come
more eXacting enforcement OF the laws,
constituting a much greater stride in
some states than would be sanctioned
by public opinion, and postponing the
time when a nationwide prohibition
amendment could be pressed to accept
ance.
In some states, however. the Reed
amendment would anticipate action by
state legislatures. Arkansas, Arizona,
Idaho. Montana, Oregon. Tennessee and
Washington all have "bone-dry' laws
already in operation or on the statute
books to become effective shortly. Utah
has enacted such a law, effective Au-
gust l, a month after the Reed amend
ment would go into operation; a bone
dry bill for Alaska has been favorably
reported in Congress. and non-impor-
tation measures are pending. with some
prospect of passage, in Colorado. Iowa.
Kansas. Mississippi, Oklahoma and
South Dakota. Georgia's governor has
announced that in the event of failure
of the Reed proposal he would call the
Legislature into extraordinary session
to lay state prohibition against liquor
shipments.

vote by roll call on the most drastic
prohibition amendment ever seen in the
national legislature worried scores of
House members. who confidently be-

will be used politically against them.
The passage of the amendment was
in an uproarious session. Nearly every
man in the House was in his place

Reed Amendment Far More
Drastic Than Most State
Laws Covering Prohibition

The Reed amendment. incomparably
the most far-reaching prohibition leg
islation ever approved by either house
of Congress, would raise an absolute
barrier against the shipment of liquor
into fifteen states where it can be i'm
ported legally now and where millions
of dollars worth is consumed annually.
1t would add to the bone dry" terri
tory about one-third of continental
United States.
OF the twenty-five states which will
be prohibition territory on July /,
when the amendment would be effec-
tive. only seven have forbidden impor-
tation of intoxicants for personal use.
The fifteen around which the provision
would erect a non-importation barrier
are Alabama. Colorado, Georgia, Iowa,
Kansas. Maine. Mississippi. Nebraska.
North Dakota, North Carolina. Okla
homa. South Carolina. South Dakota,
Virginia and West Virginia. Most of
these have set no limitation on the
amount that can be brought in for in
dividual use, but in several cases the
Reed amendment would nullify direct
ly state statutes expressly permitting
importation of stipulated amounts per
capita.

Outbreaks on Flathead Cause
Distribution of Fighting
Equipment.
CLARK TO SPOKANE
Tools to Be Sent Out to Su-
pervisors From Central
Warehouses.

Fay G.. Clark of the department of
operation of the forest service lett
yesterday for Spokane on business con-
nected with fire protection. He will
make shipments of fire fighting tools
and equipment from the fire cmcrgon-
cy warehouse at Spokane to the diff
forest service.
The first fires of the season in the
district reported from the F'lathead
forest, occurred last week. There We're
eight fires reported to the district
headquarters, none of which caused
damage to any extent on government
lands. Six of these We're caused by
railroad operations, and the other two
by brush burning. About II acres Of
brush were burned in the largest of
the fires, which was adjacent to fire
which burned over 1,s00 acres of pri-
waite property. This fire started on
May 13, and burned throughout the
week.
The fire hazard does not become
dangerous until July l, though addi-
tional protective and preventive steps
are taken earlier. Approximately a
hundred extra men are hired about the
middle of June, in order to effectively
combat any fires liable to occur during
that month. The first of July an ad-
ditional force of over 400 men. bring
ing the total extra fire-fighting force
UP to $50, will go on duty doing patrol
nd
smoke chasers.
The majority of this force Is dis
tributed throughout the forests in the
western part of the district where the
fire hazard is the greatest. A large
number of extra guards are to be sta
toned in the St Joe, the Flathead. the
Selway, the Occur d'Alene and the
! kootenai forests.

Jus Xix Grant" said Porter, as he
attempted to keep in step with the Of
ficcrs of the law.
Porter, it is said, insulted several
women while pursuing his alcoholic
way up Higgins avenue. A call for
the police was sent out, and two Off
GERS sailed forth to apprehend him,
but he disappeared. He was, however,
unceremoniously elected into the very
arms of the police by an energetic
Iandlady, who chased him downstairs
when he sought a room in a rooming
house. He is now in the county Jail.
