NATIONS CAPITAL
Is VOTED DRY
Congress Passes Bill Making
District of Columbia
SaloonleSs Nov. |

Washington, March /. The Ma
tional Capital was voted dry to-
night, when the House, by vote of
2s7 to 1s7, passed the Sheppard bill
in exactly the same form as it came
from the Senate. 1t prohibits the
manufacture and sale of Intoxicating
liquors in the District of Columbia af-
ter November and abolishes 800 sa-
looms. Importation for personal use
is permitted.
Consideration of the bill began at
noon and continued until O'Clock.
but during all that time there was no
discussion of its provisions except in a
few brief speeches. The proposals to
make the measure a "bone dry bill
or to submit the question of prohibit
ton to q referendum of the people of
the District of Columbia. were not de-
bated. The time required for the pas
sage OF the bill was consumed. almost
in its entirety by the calling of the
roll of the members, n procedure re-
quiring forty minutes each time. A
hlibuster started by wet" members,
led by Tammany men, was cut short
through the adoption of a rule which
cut off all debate on the Senate bill,
prohibited all amendments except one,
and knocked out every proposition put
into the bill by the House committee
on the District of Columbia. ~
Wet members We're ina fair way
to prolong their filibuster into an all
night session under the provisions of
/ the rule presented by Representative
| Markley, of Kentucky, who has cham
| pioned the Sheppard bill in the House.
| When the more drastic bill was
| brought in members shouted they
are out-Cannonizing Joe Cannon.
| Chairman Henry, of the rules commit
tee, declared he wished that the three
of the seven Democratic members of
| rules committee who voted with the
! four Republican members for the rule
| had not done so, as it forced the Dem
ocratic party to ask pardon of Mr..
| Cannon for criticisms of him. Many
members insisted that the rule made
