BILL IN SENATE TO
HASTEN PROHIBITION
Consideration BY Both Houses
Means Quicker Action

For the purpose of expediting the
passage through congress of the bill
which will Danish booze from Hawaii.
'epator Sheppard of Texas has intro
lueed into the senate the bill which is
lending in the house of representatives.
Associated Press dispatches received
yesterday told of the introduction of
he bill by the Texas senator.
Without doubt the bill presented to
lie upper house is the same measure
which Kuhio has Endorsed in the lower
iouse and was probably introduced at
lis request. Were the senate TO await
the passage Of the house bill before
living consideration to prohibition for
taWaii it is not unlikely the bill might
1ail of passage in the closing hours of
he session. With the same bill I'M
Ter consideration in both houses its con
liberation becomes assured. One IL
rot waiting on the other and the meas.
ire goes steadily forward in the or.
lnary course of business of both at
he same time.
From the progress made on this sub
ect in the lower house it is indicated
he BIZ will first pass that body. If
uch be the case any amendments to
make the two bills identical in lang
age can be made when the senate
rings the Sheppard bill up for final
passa0e.
