Per Cent and Home Supplies Pro-
tected-Now Goes to Senate.

Washington, July 23.-The prohibt-
tion enforcement bill, described by
members opposing it as drastic
enough to invite presidential yeto,
finally was passed by the house OF
representatives.

members voting present
The vote was taken after motlon
by Representative Igoe, Democrat
Missouri, to recommit the bill had
been defeated, 255 to 1856 Nearly
every member was in attendance and
there was so much noise during the
roll call that the Republican leader,
Mr.. NLondell, Wyoming, was recorded
as supporting the Igoe motion. He
was permitted to change his vote.
There was applause on the hoor
when the vote was announced. Only
a few visitors were in the galleries.
The measure, which had been be-
fore the house for more than a week,
now goes to the senate, but house
managers of the measure do not eX-
pect it will be accepted there as a
whole.
The house bill will be substituted
for the measure now being framed
by the senate judiciary committee,
but senate leaders were doubtful
whether the bill could be brought be-
fore Ithe senate until the German
peace treaty had been disposed Of,
involving a delay of many weeks.
The bill, drastic provisions and all,
was adopted section by section by the
house, but mans right to store
liquor in his home stood up against
all attacks.

were recorded in favor of an amend
ment to make home possession of in
toxicants unlawful.
