Washington, Oct. 2s.-An effort
to have the senate take action on .
motion to repass the prohibition en-
5forcement bill over President Will

senate convened today. Several dem
ocrats, objected and long parlia-
mentary rangle over the rules en-.
sued. s.,:
The debate was still in progress
when the senate took recess to re-
ceive King Albert.
Washington, Oct, 2s.-Temporari-
ly nonplussed BY President Wilson's
veto OF the prohibition enforcement
bill but later greatly encouraged by
the equally unexpected action Of the
house In passing the measure over
the presidents veto. dry leaders in
congfsss are working today to OBJ
tain ths necessary two-thirds vote in
the senate.
# Lenders Of the anti-prohibition
forces were equally active, for thru
an adverse vote in the senate there
still may be 'wet spell" before con-
stitutional prohibition becomes eff
fective next January 16. 81
Dry leaders in. the senate were
hopeful Of calling up the enforcement
bill in the senate today Immediately
upon the reading Of the presidents
veto message announcing that he
could not sign the measure because it
provided for enforcement of war
time prohibition which. he asserted
"sound public policy makes clear the
reason and necessity for its repeal"
! Confidence was expressed that the
necessary two-thirds vote would be
obtained to override the veto.
Should vote not be taken today, it
was considered certain that the meas
. ure would be voted on tomorrow:
The vote in the house yesterday Of
176 to 81, 90 more than necessary,

uproar IN the house chamber lasting

was read until the final roll call.
