PROHIBITION TO
HAVE HEARING IN
HOUSE MONDAY
Judiciary Committee Decides
to Give Opportunity for Pre-
senting Further Argument

A public hearing on the senate bill
providing s plebiscIte to allow the
voters to decide the question of pro-
hibition for the territory will be
held at 7:30 O'Clock next Monday even
ing in the hall Ct representatives, Cap
itol building, before the judiciary com.
mittee of the house, which now has
the bin under consideration.
The prohibition bill already has
been informally discussed in commit
tee, but no definite action has been
taken one way or another. No amend
ments to the measure have been sug-
gested as yet, and no changes or al
teratlons in the bin have been sug-
gested in committee.
At the hearing Monday evening all
persons desiring to speak for or
against the measure will be heard,
and the committee will then get down
to active consideration of the bill
The sentiment In the house of rep
ressntatiye3 seems to be largely in
favor OF letting the PEOPLE vote on
the qne3tion OF whether they want
prohibition or lot. Already a ma
jority OF the representatives have ex.
pressed themselves as fayoiing the
bill although it IS understood certain
amendments will be offered to make
ii q "bone dry measure.
