SENATE DEBATE
ON PEACE PACT
IRepubIican A. p. Leased wireI


WASHINGTON, Nov. 14.-Success
peace treaty debate by a cloture
seemed likely tonight to remain in
doubt until the clerks call the roll on
the question tomorrow in the senate
Thirty republicans signed the petit
ton for cloture, and party leaders de-
clared that more would vote for it.
There was no doubt, leaders asserted,
that the republican side of the cham
Der would contribute more than its
share for the two thirds majority
necessary to invoke the cloture rule.
Among the democrats, however,
there was more uncertainty, growing
out Of question of policy involving
the whole administration program of
parliamentary action on the treaty.
Democratic Leader Hitchcock was
inclined away from the cloture pro-
posals, also some of the democrats said
they would not follow him, a far
greater number reserved their de-
cision.
Vice President Marshall is expected
to be in the chair when the question
automatically comes to a vote an hour
after the senate meets tomorrow and II
was considered possible that he might
remove democratic objections by sc
constituting the cloture rule that 1t will
not upset the administration plans.
4 With the senate in recess today
there was much discussion as to the
exact meaning and effect of the rule
which has never been invoked since II
was adopted more than two years ago

DRYs SCORE VICTORY
IN LEGAL FIGHT To
KEEP UP BOOZE SALE
TRepubllcan A. p. Leased WireJ

NEW YORK, Nov. 14.-Three at
tempts to prevent enforcement of the
war time prohibition and Volstead en-
forcement acts failed in federal courts
here today. Federal Judges Hand,
Knox and Rose Of Baltimre, each in
different case, upheld the consti-
tutionality of the law in denying petit
tions seeking iniunctions to restrain
interference in manufacture and with.
drawal of loquor from bond.
Judge Hand denied petition of
Jacob Rupert, brewer, who sought
an Injunction permitting him to re-
sumo the manufacture Of beer Of 2.75
alcoholic content.
Judge Knox denied a petition to re-
strain William H. Edwards, collector
of internal revenue from preventing
the release from bond of barrels of
distilled spirits. The petitioners were
Dryfoos, Bloom and company, whole
sale liquor dealers, and the decision
was handed down in passage on de-
murrers of two local saloon keepers
who sought to prevent enforcement of
the act.
The third decision by Judge Rose
was on an application by the Maryland
Distilling company for an injunction to
prevent Joshua w. Miles. collector OF
| internal revenue of Maryland, from
interfering in the release of large
quantities of whiskey now in bond,
In commenting on the fact tina
technically the nation is still at war
Judge Rose expressed the opinion tha
the use Of beer and light wines SHOULD
be permitted because Of changed con
ditions since last spring. He addet
that it was not in the province of th
Judiciary to state when the war
at an end.
II have every sympathy with per
sons whose business conducted in
law abiding manner is confiscate
without compensation" said Judg
Rose. II agree with Judge Hand tina
it was perfectly reasonable for con
gress to say war is not ended unit
the treaty of peace is ratified. Their
must be some way for all the worl
to know when one man may take hi
whisl1ey out of bond"

; question left is of title one under til
