RULING OF CHAIR is DEFEATED
So TO SO.
"Bone Dry" Prohibition of Manufac-
ture and Sale of Intoxicants
Expected to Pass.

Washington, July 12.-"Bone dry
prohibition of the manufacture and
sale of intoxicating liquor throughout
the United States for the remainder
of the war will go into effect on Janu-
airy l pext unless President Wilson de-
feats the proposed action of congress.
The road to immediate passage OF
the measure, for which the prohibition
lists have been fighting for several
months, was cleared on Wednesday
when the senate, by vote of 80 to 50,
went on record in favor of attaching
the nationwide wartime prohibition
rider to the pending agricultural ex-
tension bill. BY this vote the senate
reversed the chairs ruling, holding the
rider out of order.
The indications are that the senate
will adopt the prohibition amendment
by an even larger majority.
The concurrence of the house IS re-
garded as foregone conclusion, mas
much as that body initiated the move
for war prohibition by adopting an
amendment to the pending bill de-
signed to suspend the liquor tratflc.

VICTOR BERGER ELECTED
MAY NOT BE SEATED

If long established ~precedents in
congress are followed, Victor Berger,
newly elected socialist member Of the
house from the Fifth Wisconsin DIS
trict, who defeated Representative
Stafford, Republican, may expect to
be denied admission to membership.
Berger is now under Indictment on
several counts under provisions of the
Espionage act, the charges against
him including, in general terms, OBJ
structing the recruiting service, at
tempting to cause INSTRUMENTATION in
the armed forces Of the United States,
and seditious u%tterances.
For less serious reasons at least one
member of the Senate, Philip F. Thom-
as, Of Maryland, was refused admis-
sion by his colleagues soon following
the Civil war, and more recently in
1900 the House would not permit a
newly elected member from Utah, Mr..
Roberts, to take the oath because Of
his belief in the propriety of polyg-
amy.
So far as it appears from a hasty
survey of the records, in neither one Of
these cases had any legal proceedings
been instituted against the prospective
incumbents Of seats in Congress, the
action against them being taken be-
cause the members preferred to ex-
ercise their right to pass upon the
qualifications of members of the House
and Senate.
