WHISKEY GOES OUT OF BUSI-
NESS.

Chicago, ILL.,, Sept 19-Victory in a
fight which had been waged unceas-
ingly for the past twenty years by
the Hearst newspapers became COM
plete last week when the Federal
law forbidding the manufacture of
whiskey and other distilled liquors
went into effect.
Accepting the inevitable only after
spending fortunes in an effort to avert
it, anwd resorting to every possible
trick and subterfuge to postpone the
day of reckoning, the Whiskey Trust
capitulated and went out Of business
an hour before midnight.
BY powerful cartoons, forceful edi-
torials and by the mobilizing of thou
sands of moral leaders and millions
of citizens in the campaign, the Hearst
papers carried the fifht to Congress.
Seeing at last the handwriting on
the wall, the whiskey manufacturers
waged determined fight for the pas
sage of law which would forbid the
manufacture of beer and light wines.
Success would have placed an enor.

The whiskey men attempted coer.

They attempted bribery by Offering

fashion, and always they failed to
check the steady, patient, intelli-
gent hammering against the whiskev

(By Associated Press.)

Washington. Feb. c6. With the
Republican fihbuster in the senate
against revenue legislation broken aft
er one Of the most tempestuous ses'
sions of the recent years, the Sixty
fourth congress today entered upoT
the last week of it's official existence
still facing extraordinary Legislative
congestion.
Republican leaders who had threat.
ened to defeat the emergency revenue
bill by dilatory tactics agreed to a
final vote on the measure next Wed.
nesday night when confronted with
the Democratic determination to hold
the senate in continuous session
Danger of further efforts to force an
extra session has not disappeared
however, for some Of the minority in
sists the president should be forced to
summon congress to be on hand fol-
eventualities in the European crisis.
When the Republicans made peace
with the desperate majority over the
$400, 000, 900 revenue and bond bill and
agreed that appropriation measures
might be considered by unanimous con-
sent between now and Wednesday
night some OF the minority leaders
frankly said the action would avoid
necessity for an extra session.
Administration leaders, notwith-
standing the possibility OF further
obstructive tactics interfering with
the great army and navy appropria-
ton measures and the sundry civil
appropriation bill were jubilant today
over the breaking OF the revenue fili-
buster and expressed conviction that
all differences yet to arise may be
ironed out in the strenuous closing
hours OF the session. Whether Presi-
dent Wilson lie to so before congress
before adjournment to discuss the
relations between the United States
and Germany the Democratic leaders
in both houses frankly state they do
not know.
An indication of the feeling Of some
Republicans following the heated dis
cussion OF their complaints Of lack Of
forceful action on the part of the gov
eminent to protect American shipping
interests against the German SUBJ
marine blockade came in the introduce
ton Of a bill by Senator Fall of New
Mexico, which would authorize the
president to use the armed forces Of
the nation to protect the commerce,
property and lives OF the citizens Of
the United States. 1t took admins
ration senators by surprise.
Senator Stone, chairman OF the for
eign relations committee voiced re-
greet that any senator should have in

revenue, army and navy, sundry civil
and minor appropriation measures
still pending get through that Is all
that the most sanguine Democrats eX
pect. Substitution OF a lump appro-
priation for the rivers and harborE
bill Is almost conceded. The public
buildings bill is generally admitted to
be dead. The food control bill will
be talked to death tomorrow in the
Dor legislation, the corrupt practices
and conservation bills all have prac-
tically no chance even for consider
alton. There is doubt also that the
bills amending the federal reserve law
and the shipping board act extending
the powers OF the shipping board for
emergency purposes will be passed.
In view OF the probable failure OF
all these important measures some
Democratic senators cling to q per-
sistently expressed belief that the Six
ty-fifth congress will be summoned
in extraordinary session, no matter
what develops with relation to Ger
many.

only the sundry civil bill, now pend

general deficiency bills. There may
be an attempt to finally defeat the
100000 appropriation for O. federal
trade commission inquiry into food
prices which the house in COMMITTEES
OF the whole wrote into the sundry
civil bill last night.
The senate bill for prohibition in thu
capital will come up for a vote In the
house by Wednesday. The District OF
Columbia committee has agreed to
report 1t by Tuesday noon but with
amendment lacking on referendum
and "bone dry" provisions. The pro-
hibitionists are planning to fight all
amendments as the change of q
word would necessitAte opening up

RELIEF
PLANNED
(By Associated Press.)

Washington, Feb. 26.-Appropriation
Of 100000 for federal relief in the
present food situation and further
investigation to devise better market
ing and distribution methods was
proposed in a resolution introduced to-
day by Senator Borah Of Idaho. Action
upon the resolution was deferred.
New York. Feb. ga campaign of
education against high food prices was
extended today through several ave.
nues. This plan was adopted by the
board of health after an investigation
to ascertain just how much suffering
existed among the poor, and by the
mayors food supply committee. 1t was
endorsed by Governor Whitman, who
summed up his view of it by saying:
1.-THE people have simply got to eat
what they can afford to eat"
The food supply committee sent to
homes throughout the city by means
Of public school children 100000
circulars urging citizens to eat rice in
stead Of potatoes, onions and cabbages.
George w. Perkins. chairman of this
committee, asserted that New York
city might expect only slight reduction
in food prices unless the people made
up their minds to adopt substitutes for
expensive foodstuffs.

The Situation Most Critical.

Export traffic is about at a stand
still. The amount Of freight for ex.
port has increased greatly at eastern
ports because Of no steamship sailingE
since the severance Of diplomatic rela'
tions with Germany.
A few of the possibilities Of action
by the navy are:
Aiming or conveying OF American
passenger liners and other American
merchantmen as protection from at
tacks by submarines; emergency
preparations Of the Atlantic feet 10
protect the American coast and the
Panama canal; naval demonstration
in Cuban waters and the landing OF
