Way After Recess,
However

WASHINGTON, July 13.-National
prohibition legislation was postponed
by Congress to-day until August 26 at
least.
In arranging for a midsummer vaca-

ment was entered into by the Senate to
defer until August 26 further con-
sideration of the S11 100000 emergency
food production bill containing the
amendment for bone drv" wartime
prohibition, effective New Years Day.
AS q part of the agreement, however,
the prohibition advocates secured the
definite pledge that the bill shall have
right Of way when the vacation recess
period Of the Senate ends.
Senators on both sides of the fight
expressed complete satisfaction with
the agreement, made after many days
of spirited negotiation. The prohibit
tion advocates are confident they have
a majority to keep in the bill some
kind of drastic wartime production
provision The opponents are hopeful
that during the coming weeks there
may be developments to defeat or
modify the legislation.
Some Senators heard during the day
that President Wilson may take hand
in the fight next month. This report
said he favors a proposal to give him
the authority and discretion to finally
determine under all conditions whether
prohibition is desirable and is inclined
to oppose any action materially reduc-
ing internal revenues.

Senate Will Take
3-Day Recesses,
Beginning Monday
Similar Programme Expect
ed To Be Put Through
House Tomorrow

WASHINGTON. July 13.-Congress
was ready tonight to start its summer
vacation Monday. The Senate. after
passing the telegraph resolution, agreed
to suspend important business and take
series Of three day recesscs, begin
ming Monday, until August "a. A sim.
liar programme for the House was
blocked late to-day, but it is expected
to go through when that body re-
convenes Monday.
Under the arrangement only a few
members will remain to attend the per-
functory sessions twice each week.
Outgoing trains tonight carried Sena-
tors and members of the House to their
homes and summer resorts
The vacation plan, it was understood,
has the sanction of President Wilson,
who called upon Congress last week to
defer holiday plans to enact the tele-
graph resolution. The three-day plan
was adopted because of the constitu-
tlonal provision against longer recesses
by either House without the consent
of the other and also because Congress
technically remains in session prepared
for any emergency action.
Plans for the recess were almost
upset in the Senate at the last minute
by informal objection from Senator
Johnson, Of California, who said he be-
lieved Congress SHOULD stay on the
job" Since the majority of the Senate
was in favor of the recess, however.
Senator Johnson did not withhold
unanimous consent
At the suggestion of Senator Smith.
of Georgia, however, the agreement
was modified so as to provide that if
a quorum should be present before
August "a the agreement could be set
aside and regular business transacted
three days thereafter.

Approximately $4,000 tons of steel will

damaged German and Austrian interned
ships seized when China entered the

One Satisfactory Feature
X. s. Mauchan, Scotch engineer of
prominence. who has been manager of
the yard since 1904. negotiated the
contracts as representative of the
Chinese Minister of the Navy, whose
department has control of the plant.
The possibility of equipping the
shops in China is one Of the most salts
factory features of the contract from
the American point of view. A short
age OF engines and boilers in this coun-
try mas retarded the completion Of
wooden ships already built. All iron
castings will be obtained in China

fifty times the price quoted by the

the telegraph tolls, amounting to 81
cents a word from London and New

press dispatches. The rush bulletins
of big events, which take precedence
over other cables, cost the newspapers
