HOUSE DRY BILL
FACING DOUBLE

Washington, June 25.-The fate of
prohibition as war time measure
rested today with the senate, where
acceptance of the food control bill in
the form in which lit passed the house
ments added, as a substitute for the
bill drafted by Senator Chamberlain,
was assured. A vigorous fight was
promised over the prohibition propos-
ais.
Criticism of the Lever bills prohibi.
tory features is not confined either by
partisan lines or by previously ex-
pressed opinions Of Senators One of
the frankest critics of the prohibition
section of the Lever bill is Senator
Gore, Oka1ohanaa, a radical prohibit
Zionist of the nationwide type. Sena-
tor Gore said last might regarding the
Lever bill:
1T must be first said that in offer
ing criticism of this measure that ]
am a believer in nationwide prohibit
ton. I hope to participate ultimately
in the enactment of a law which will
drive alcohol and the drink habit for
ever from the United States, but / do
not approve Of the methods pursued
by the House, and the prohibition Sec
ton of the bill is untimely and I'M
scientific. It is a piece of legislation
which believe cannot be satisfactory
to the Senate.

The Bridgeport evening farmer., 1917-06-25

Collections through the Catholic
churches of Bridgeport yesterday, at
the ball game benefit exhibition and in
lawn fetes, schools and other con-
tributory sources for the Red Cross
campaign have been most successful
according to reports coming INFO
headquarters today.
In the Roman Catholic churches,
several of which including St. Angus
tines parish, have not as yet report
ed, an amount aggregating $4,000 was
collected. At the ball game at New
field park, yesterday, the receipts ap-
proximated $500. A tidy sum is said
to have resulted from the lawn fete
held at Black Rock, Saturday after
noon, where society attended in large
numbers and the actors appearing at
the Poll theatre contributed their ser
vices gratis.
The school children raised this
morning $1,27S.s9 throughout the
city.
In the last whirlwind day of the
campaign when all the team members
were given free rein in visiting any
person who heretofore had not sub
scribed the results coming into head
quarters this morning showed that the
amount to be collected as a grand
total proba bly, would far exceed the
100000 mark for this city.
