BONE DRY BILL FAILS
OF PASSAGE IN SENATE
Whiskey to Go, But Beer and WINE
Left in on Ground That 1t Nolid
Aid Government in War.

washington, uiy o.-ooiio ui-
prohibition failed to pass the senate
TODAY. By vote of 81 to "a, the law
makers refused to include beer and
wine in the class with whiskey.
Immediately afterwards the senate
passed a drastic amendment by Sen
ator Cummins forbidding not only the
importation of whiskey into the coun'
try during the war, but also the with
drawal of any bonded distilled spirits
for beverage purposes. This was
adopted by a vote of 81 to 80 and
later by separate votes.
Senator Underwood then called at
tention to the fact that this would not
only cut off some $25O,0O0 900 revenue,
but would choke millions of dollars
involved in the whiskey business with
out compensation to the manufactur-
ers. He held this unconstitutional.
Panic.
This threw the senate into small
panic. Senators Brandege, Harding
and Penrose supported Underwood's
contention.
Finally the senate adjourned with
out voting on either the chamberlain
or Robinson amendments. These con-
Germ the main issues of prohibition.
The first leaves beer and wine to the
discretion of the president; the Sec
ond merely abolishes whiskey without
saying anything about other bever-
ages.
Half an hour more and the senate
could have disposed of the question.
Again To-day.
Now the prohibition measure must
be discussed tomorrow. 1t is predicted
that, while the part of the Cumming
amendment forbidding distilled spirits
importation will stand, the part pro-
hibiting withdrawal for beverage pur-
poses will be rejected unless further
amendment, by Senator Reed is ac-
cepted. This leaves the matter OF
withdrawal for beverage purposes in
the hands of the president to be ex-
ercised Gin interest of the public"
"No distilled liquors or spirits now
in bond in the United States shall, dur
ing the existing period Of war, be
withdrawn to be used as beverage.
Nor shall there be imported into the
United States during the said war any
distilled liquors"
Like Bomb.
This amendment came like bomb
she'll The senate accepted it by
vote Of "a to 80. At once Senator
Stone, who had voted "no," changed
his vote to ''aye," and then gave warn
ing that he would move to reconsider
the vote.
I'm not going to make my oppo-
sition now in four or five minutes,
said he threateningly, "but if there
is occasion I shall discuss this at
length and think other senators viii
Also
This statement provoked bitter
comment from Senator Jones, OF
Washington. Senator Pittman had said
certain senator's opposed the bill not
because they wanted prohibition, but
because thew resented governmental
authority over big business.
