Dry Bill Repassed
By House Over Veto
CONTINUED From Page oneJ


Members were standing in all parts
of the chamber, many clamoring
for recognition, but Chairman Vol
stead of the judiciary committee,
which framed the bill, was given
the floor. As custodian of the meas
ure he moved that consideration 81
the vote be deferred until Thursday.
What he was trying to-say could
not be heard, for there was gen.
eral hubbub and members swarmed
in front of the speakers stand ex-
actly after thu: manner OF an excited
crowd at race track betting ring.
Finally a shout that the house was
not in order helped quiet the situs-
ton.
The wrangle started again when
Representative Walsh, republican,
Massachusetts,, moved to table the
vote. Most of the members did not
seem to know what this meant, but
| it was evident that Mr.. Walsh was
trying to force an in1mediat vote.
Hubbub Keeps Going.
The hubbub and the wrangle kept
going while Republican Leader
Mondell, demanding the right to be
heard ahead of 50 others who were
trying to catch the speakers eye,
finally got the floor, told how the
prohibition bill affected the welfare
of all the people which made it nee.
essary that the house have every
body present when voting time
came. This plea was made after
| Chairman Volstead had asked unani-
nous consent to withdraw his mo-
ton.
There were many motions after
that and number of roll calls until
the final vote was taken at 7
o'clock.
The, galleries were deserted. The
crowds that used to sit through
weary hours of prohibition debate
had not heard, of course, that the
final fight was at hand. and John
Barleycorn's wake, if it was that,
was unattended. On the floor a
handful Of members who had stood
up against the dry phalanx edged
in a word now and then and tried
to appeal for unfolding of the vote,
but they were unable to make them
selves heard above the din. ..
At the end not more than score
OF hands clapped. The house went
about its work with considerable
glee, but there was no heart in the
feeble cheer that followed announce
ment of the final vote.
