Summing up the evidence in the

the whole, everything was bearable.

personally. Broadway had fallen
down on him and the Friars didn't
parade-two incidents be deeply re-

haps, that would be q good thing,
for it would keep him fresh in the

John, 81 shall impress those in the
spirit world that lies beyond with the
futility of trying to figure on Broad
way. So much depends upon the
mood of the hardware drummer
from South Bend or the salt sales
man from Saginaw as to how Broad
way will act under unprecedented
conditions. Generally speaking, the
celebration which sneaks up on
Broadway is the most successful.
Take Armistice Night. It was q
magnificent evening, because it was
more or .ess unexpected. 1t placed
before the hardware drummer and
the salt salesman an unanticipated
excuse for getting crooked, so to

Through With Broodscay
So far as John was concerned
there could be no extenuation for
Broadway. On Broadway's behalf
it may be said that on the night OF
June 80 every cafe seat was taken,
and so were the people in them. The
roof gardens bulged in the midriff,
and not even an experienced hand
could fall by the guard at the door
Of the average rathskeller. But
there was little gayety on the street
and practically no one tried to fall
down in front Of a rapidly moving
surface car. Such conditions were
enough U OlSCouIoBS ohy o'aS ~
customed to . real Broadway cele-
bration.
John had heard that Washington
Square had done the right thing by
him on the evening Of his death,
but he was only indifferently
pleased.

brate anything, any time, any place,
and there never has been any doubt

Hair trigger celebrators," mused
John.
New-York tribune., 1919-07-06

That was the subject Of the gutter.
He realized he often had been ac-
cused Of dragging a man into the
gutter. In listening to the ar
guments of great majority Of his
enemies an outsider, he said, was
bound to gather the opinion that a
gutter was an undesirable place to
inhabit. Perhaps it was, but it had
many advantages over a coffin.
Moreover. a man had to lie in gut
ter only until a policeman came
along.
The Gutter Matter
But" continued John, "if every
one of the points touching on gut
ter were true there still remains one
outstanding fact"
Which is began a bystander.
THAT most modern streets are
built without a gutter" said John
triumphantly.
He paused for the point to go
home, then continued:
How can l be accused Of drag
ging a man into the gutter when
the average New York street hasn't
any gutter? If man goes lamrning
around town until he finds a street
with a gutter to fall into I can't
see that that is any Of my business.
| want my friends to remember that.
ANY time q bird with a white tie
and a celluloid collar gets up on a
soap box and begins telling the
populace how old John dragged him
down into the gutter, want my
friends to ask him: What street,?
This gutter business has gone far
enough. My friends know that I
never dragged them into any gutter.
Any intimacy they may have estab-
lished with the obsolescent gutter
was Of their own initiative"
John was bristling again q.
and the lily jiggled precariously.
In the matter of his death, John
was disposed to believe that the
wholesale and retail liquor stores
and the clubs had treated him hand
somely.
81 feel that there was something
more substantial in the obsequies
conducted by these two institutions
than anything Broadway might have
done" he declared. 81 tell you It
contributed full modicum of JOY
in death to see fashionable ladies

particularly that store which is sit
uate across from Madison Square,

Gathered at the Bier

Friends at the bier-and light
wines-of old John were Of the opin-
ion that twelve hours in a coffin had
done him no end of good. Death
had impaired a placidity Of express
sion and a metamorphosis in skin
riement which effectually screened
those qualities that had caused him

John the Demon" rather bringing
out that which was noble and aris-
.ccratic. It was ventured that six
or seven months Of coffin life, with
Taught to gaze upon save a lily,
might wholly restore John to his
pristine strength of the seventeenth
and eighteenth centuries and bring
him back a chastened citizen.
DO you mean 2.75 per cent
citizen," inquired John, bristling in
lis coffin.
As matter Of fact, he bristled so
perceptibly that the lily moved and
threatened to fall over on the bar
towel, which John had requested to
be inferred with him.
Assured that such was not the
case, that no one at the bier ever
dreamed Of his reincarnation on a
rs basis, John appeared Modified.
II have only to add" he said with
dignity, shat so far as 2.75 is con-
cerned would rather be dead."
He was willing to discuss the
omission Of the Friars' parade, the
rumor that the clubs Of New York
had done everything that could be
expected Of them to make his death
a memorable occasion, the ineradi-
cable stigma Broadway had placed
upon itself by failing properly TO
celebrate and the pseudo orgies OF
the mentally rare and medium done
down around lower Fifth Avenue,
but as for 2.75 It was a closed mat
ter.
As he conversed freely in his
new surroundings John said there
was one other matter that he had
wished to be adjusted before he took
up formally the circumstance Of
the celebration of his untimely end
New-York tribune., 1919-07-06

In addition, Broadway had been a
blighting disappointment. Broad
way apparently had been preparing
for weeks to see that the right thing
was done by old John when he did
cease to function, but it had laid
down on the Job. There may have
been something psychological in it;
he didn't know. More likely those

sage and sent it along to Congress,
without worrying, apparently, what
Congress might do.
With repassage of the law by the
House and the prospect of the same
thing happening in the Senate, hope
of the big "wet' spell that would run
over the Christmas season vanished.
Prohibition leaders predicted re-
fusal of the House to accept the Pres
ident's veto meant that the sale of
liquor would not be permitted again
in this and many other generations.
The reasons for vetoing the act
were set forth by the President in the
following message to Congress:

House was not in order helped quiet
the situation.
The hubbub and the wranglc kept
going while Republican Leader Mon

ahead of fifty others, who were trying
to catch the speakers eye, finally got
the floor told how the prohibition
bill affected the welfare of all the pco-
pie, which made it necessary that the
House have everybody present when
voting time came. This plea was
made after Chairman Volstead had
asked unanimous consent to withdraw
his motion. There were many motions
after that and a number of roll calls
until the final vote was taken at 7
o'clock.

The president refused to sign the
bill because it included the enforce
ment of wartime prohibition.
The objects of wartime prohibition

been satisfied and Sound public policy
makes clear the reason and necessity
for it's repeal"
1t would not be difficult, the Presi-
dent held, for Congress to deal sepa-
rately with the two issues.
The veto hit Congress unexpectedly
The House, getting on it's feet again,
deserted its leader, who wanted to
defer consideration until Thursday so
as to round up all the dry members.
But the drys swept into the chamber
and showed there was overwhelming
sentiment among thed to give the
government ample weapons for deal
ing with the liquor traits.
Nobody had really professed to know
the president would veto the bill Re-
publihans and Democrats alike, and
the countless multitude that had sor-
rowfully watched the passing of the
bars, thought it would become a law
without his signature.
But the president propped up in bed
