WASHINGTON. Sept 6.-The
 $12,000.000 emergency agricultural
 appropriation bill, with its rider
 for national prohibition from next
 July 1 until the American armies
 are demobilized after the end of
 the war, was passed tonight by the
 senate without a roll call.

 measure. the senate voted, 45 to
 6. to retain the prohibition rider
 A final effort to postpone the ef-
 fective date of the dry" legisla-
 tion to Dec. 30. 1919. was defeated.

 After the passage of the bill the senate conferees-all regarded friend Iy to the legislatiOn-wer appointed: Gore of Oklahoma. Smith of South Carolina. Smith Of Georgia, Kenyon of Iowa and France of Maryland.
 How long the bill would be in con ference was regarded doubtful.
