The Senate, at 4 p. M, by a vote OF
So to 80, passed the Sheppard bill. max
ing the District Of Columbia dry after
November !, 1917. In few days the
measure will be sent 10 the House OF
Representatives, where, as nobody
doubts. its passage will be quick and
easy.
The President will not veto the ac-
tion OF Congress.
Nothing now will save the District
for the vets save another act by a new
Congress admitted impossibility.
The local interest was proved by the
packed galleries. which held the big
cest crowd the Senate chamber has
seen in years.
The gloom in Washington is in the
clubs and hotels the social centres
generally speaking where gather a
most cosmopolitan crowd. Regular pa
irons Of we'll known restaurants, where
the quality of cocktails, wines and
liquors is famous, sourly read the even
ing editions which gave the result OF
the Senate's debate.
The citizens OF other countries here,
chiefly TO be fond in the embassies and
legations. expressed surprise.
The great JOY in Washington is in
the camp OF the Prohibitionists. For
long time they have maintained a
lobby here and have conducted a CAM
paign which, for efficiency and intel
lgence, would be nard to match. No
Senator was too pronounced a wet TO
escape pressure from Prohibitionists in
his community.
