OUR REPRDESENTATIV
ON PROHIBITION

Washington, July 22.-Pou and
Small not only voted against the pro-
hibition bill and for numerous
amendments tc modify it, but they
both made speeches againct it. The
rest of the delegation supported the
measure, though some of them voted
for number of amendments, some
of which were adopted and some de-
feated.
During the closing hours of the
strenuous contest over this bill near
ly all the memberes were present,
and there was such confusion that it
was difficult to keep an accurate
record of the voting. An effort was
made to recommit the bill, which
was defeated by vote of 255 to 1876.
This was indicative of speedy re-
suits. The bill was then placed on
it's passage, and there came to an end
a historic conflict.
The reading of the bill for amend
ments was completed yesterday, but
passage was prevented on techni-
cality. A large number of amend
ments were defeated and some were
ruled out on points of order.
The search and seizure section of
the bill had the intense opposition OF
the vets and instead of modifying
this provision as relates to the search
of private dwellings it was made as
, severe as the drys wanted it.
Just before the conclusion of the
debate on the bill, Representative
John H. Smith, said:
t'I have beenu present all the while
| during the ten days or more this bill
has been under discussion. At the
