Southern Prohibition Leader
Says Congress Going Beyond
Power in Attempting to De-
fine intoxicating Liquor.
INSISTS ON CHANGES IN
ENFORCEMENT MEASURE
Traffic Likened to Convicted
Criminal Appealing for Re.
prieve; Drastic Measure De-
nounCed in House Debate.

Washington, July lin the
course of a fve-hour debate in the
house Friday on the prohibition
bill, the liquor traffic was likened
to a convicted criminal appealing
for a reprieve, while some of the
more drastic provisions OF the
measure were denounced as an in
vasion of the liberty, hospitality and
habits of the home.
1t probably was the last great
day of prohibition oratory in the
house. Not ali of the II hours set
aside for general debate had been
used at the close of an all-day dis
cussion which ranged from tech
nical argument on constitutional
questions to a straight stump speech
for prohibition and its enforcement.
Chairman Volstead of the judici-
ary committee in charge of the bill,
and Representative Igo, democrat,
of Missouri, leader of the minority,
were unable to allot all of the time
desired by members anxious to be
heard. There were more demands
than there was time to give, with
everybody wanting a word. Time
and again there was the droning
call: THE gentleman asks permis-
sion to extend and revise his re-
marks" The ,speeeh-making will
continue Saturday, but the house
will not begin actual work on the
bill, section by section, until Mon
day. ..-.
Will Not Support Bill.
Again ardent prohibitionists de-
'clared they could not support the
enforcement bill because of its pro-
visions and others eontended that
once congress defines intoxicating
liquors as a beverage containing one
hall of one per cent alcohol the fed
eral law for such enforcement cam
rot become effective without con-
current action by the several states.
The principal "dry" argument
against the measure was made by
Representative Moon, democrat, of
Tennessee, who declared that un-
less it was materially amended he
would feel in duty bound to vote
against it or else express his disap-
rroval by not voting at all.
For q years, Mr.. Moon said. he
had stood upon the floor of the
house and upheld the cause of pro-
hibition, but the enforcement bill,
which he characterized as "impracti-
cable and senseless as anything ever
suggested" should be opposed be-
cause it is worse in all its features
than the Infamous force bill, He as
serted congress was going beyond
its constitutional powers in attempt
ing to say a man should not put
liquor in his home, and in attempt
ing to define Intoxicating liquors by
limiting the alcoholic content to
cne-half of one per cent
Leaders, Disconnected.
1t was apparent that prohibition
leaders were somewhat discon-
certed by persistent attacks on the
enforcement bill by members of the
house regarded heretofore as GER
tain to support it. They still
claimed, however, to have votes
enough to put it through substan-
TALLY as drafted, although they said
radical changes undoubtedly would
be made by the senate. The drive
by the /''wets" apparently had
broken tip all attempts, threatened
several days ago to make the bill
more drastic than in its present
form.
