EXPECT DRY BILL TO
Be PASSED THURSDAY
Action of Senator Robertson Is
Said to Insure Favorable
Report
FoRsEE FIGHT IN HOUSE

Lincoln, NcB., April H,-(Special.)
1t is apparent that prohibition bill
will be passed by tomorrow at least.
The action Of Senator Robertson in
going over to the house committee
this morning is said to insure a favor
able report, while the two other mem
bcrs OF the senate committee have
united on a minority report, though
il is probable that the bill will be ia
vorably considered by the upper
body.
The majority report cuts out the
words all other liquor" the main
bone of contention covered in section
of the bill, which the house COM
mittee contended would permit OF the
manufacture of near beer and leaves
that section just as the house want
ed it.
The only raw of sunligh for those
who wanted partially dry bill comes
in that section which provides the
amount HAL lldy IdNS III mo w.
home. This is made reasonable
quantity, but it permits any free
holder to cause a search of the prem
ises of any individual whom he may
suspect of having liquor in his pos
session for illegal purposes, and if
that liquor is discovered it is prima
facia evidence that it is kept for lille
gal use. -,
The VITO members of the senatorial
conference committee, Mates and
Moriarty, criticise the action of the
majority committee and its report
and declare that the action of the
house committee in trying to change
the bill on a matter that was not in
controversy was not in keeping with
custom of the senate. They finally
recommend that the senate recede in
all its amendments to the house bill,
which practically makes the bill as it
was in its original form when it came
to the senate.
