count of the present excess OF mois-
ture, Is not producing as 1t should.

ALL PROHIBITION
FEATURES WILL BE
RETAINED IN BILL

Especial to The Richmond Virginian.)
Washington, Feb. 28.-There has
been grave apprehension lest the post
Office appropriation bill would be de-
feated by the failure of the conferees
to come to an agreement concerning
the senate amendments. Great pres
sure has been brought to bear to Sc
cure the defeat OF the bill by those
opposed to the anti advertising and
anti shipment features OF the bill.
The dry leaders, however, let their
position be known and when 1t was
proposed to present resolution which
would continue the appropriation for
the fiscal year after July /, 1917, the
dry leader let it be known that sush
resolution must contain the prohi-
bition legislation in the postoffice bill
or the resolution would be defeated.
The outlook tonight Is that the con-
ferees may get together and the bill be
passed and II 1t is passed all the pro-
hibition legislation in the bill will be
retained. This probably will be set
tied finally on Thursday.
