With 8 Majority Drys Win Out in Upper House and All 312 Per Cent En- joyment Is on Taboo List
Saloons May Never
 Open Doors Again
Prohibition Senators Deny They Will Delay Consider alton of Treaty to Prevent Liquor Being Sold Again

WASHINGTON, Oct. 2S.-The sen. ate passed the prohibition enforce ment act over the presidents veto today and made immediately effect. i've machinery for preventing sale of beverages containing more than one half of one per cent alcohol
 The vote was 65 to 20, or eight more than the necessary two-thirds majority. While there was a wran- gle over taking up the measure in place of the peace treaty, which had the right of way, there never was doubt as to how the senate stood. It was overwhelmingly dry" like the house, which repassed the bill within three hours after the presi- dent had vetoed it.
 Before congress, at 3:3O o'clock. finally clinched enactment of the en- forcement law, despite presidential objection to linking war time and constitutional prohibition acts, there came from the White House the an nouncement that the war time law which was put into effect after the cessation of hostilities, would be an nuelled the moment the senate for. mally ratified the German peace treaty.
 It was the most definite of all of ficial or semi-official statements bearing on the war time act. Prohi- bition leaders were plainly disturbed by the news, for they had counted firmly upon the country reaching the effective date of constitutional pro- Mbition-January 16s 192O-without reopening of saloons
 Despite the clamor set up by wet and dry forces over the White House pronouncement, senate leaders said they would proceed with the consid- eration of the treaty as heretofore. Senators who have taken an active part in the prohibition campaign branded as unfair and absurd reports that they would delay the treaty simply to keep the liquor traffic from getting a foothold in the compara- lively short period remaining before the country will go dry for good.
 Formal denial was issued from the headquarters of the Anti-Saloon league that it's officers would take part in any movement calculated to delay the treaty. League officers stuck to the opinion that it would be necessary first to ratify the Austrian treaty before lifting the wartime prohibition ban, which was said to have been the ruling of Attorney General Palmer, and they declared their position was not altered by the fact that President Wilson was pre- pared to cut legal doubt and wipe out a law the necessity for which he believes to have passed.
 With today's action by the senate the department of justice is ready to deal with any offenders against the drastic provisions of the new act. At best, heretofore prosecutions were more or less haphazard, and neces- sarily so, it was said, because of the loosely drawn language of the act, but the new law gives ample means of breaking up the traffic.
 So drastic is the enforcement act that man, for instance, may be fined or put in jail for displaying the picture of a brewery or a keg, but his right to store liquor in his own home for his own use stood up against all attacks in committee and both houses of congress.
