HOUSE KNOCKS OUT 2.75
beer IN HOT FIGHT
Drys Muster Overwhelming Vote
Against Every Proposal of
the VETS.

Washington.-Every hope Of the lib-
eral element in the house to modify
the drastic wartime and constitutional
prohibition bill met with crushing de'
feat at the hands of the prohibition
lists.
Slashing right and left in one of the
stormiest sessions held by the house
In months, the prohibitionists killed
definitely all the concessions sought by
the vets, including the repeal of war;
time prohibition and authority to mah'
ufacture 2T3 per cent. beer. The lib
erals went down to defeat Overwhelm
ingly, on every proposal they submit
ted.
But out Of the slaughter there came
a ray of hope-a very strong intima'
ton from administration officials that
President Wilson stands ready to veto
any overdrastic prohibition enforce
ment bill that comes before him for
signature. Mr.. Wilson, it is said, will
not c0untenance any fOOlishneSs with
a prohibition bill, particularly war.
time prohibition bin, that cannot be
enforced. To enact such law, he is
said to believe, would be to court law
breaking throughout the nation.
Mr.. Wilson's interest in what is go.
ing on as to prohibition enforcement
became evident when he set the
League of Nations proposal temporari.
ly aside for a conference with Daniel
c. Roper, commissioner Of Internal
revenue, who, under the bill as IL
stands. is charged with the detective
work required for the enforcement OF
the prohibition law. Mr.. Roper told
Mr.. Wilson that he believed such
system was fundamentally wrong;
that the Bureau Of Internal Revenue
should collect taxes and nothing more.
Aside from this feature, it develop.
ed that the owners of something like
54,G00,000 gallons Of whisky now held
under bond in government warehouses
confidently expect the ban of wartime
prohibition to be lifted in plenty OF
time to dispose of their stocks. This

DAYLIGHT SAVING IS
BACKED BY PRESIDENT
Denounces Repeal and Points
Out Great Benefits of Law
Vetoes Sundry Civil Bill.

hington.-President Wilson put
his first veto on a measure passed by
the Republican Congress when he re-
jected the agricultural appropriation
bill on account of the rider to repeal
the daylight saving law. At the same
time he returned unsigned the sundry
civil appropriation bill on account OF
insufficient appropriation and change
Of methods of administration of the
vocational rehabilitation of wounded
soldiers.
Opponents of the daylight saving
law expressed confidence in their. abil-
ity to muster the necessary two-thirds
majority to pass the agricultural bill
over the Presidents veto. Supporters
of the President say it cannot be done.
Prompt action was taken in The
house looking toward a test of senti-
ment in the house on the question of
passing the daylight law repeal over
the veto, with indications that the at
tempt will fail.
An attempt was made by Represent
ative La Guardia, Republican, of New
York, and other friends Of the daylight
law to bring the matter to an imme-
date vote, the belief being that there
were not enough votes to override the
veto. This attempt was blocked, how
ever, by Representative Mondell of
Wyoming, Republican floor leader.
He moved that action be postponed,
and on a roll call his motion prevailed
by a vote of 225 to IT. This vote Is by
no means, however, a lest Of the senti-
ment of the house on daylight saving.
The bill to repeal it passed by a vote
Of 232 to 122, showing that at least
122 members Of the house favor a con-
tinuation Of the law. 1t will take a
two-thirds majority Of those voting
to override the veto.
Representative Mondell realized ap-
parently thatHf vote was taken at
once the attempt to override the veto
would fail. He said he believed the
members ought to have time to think
about the matter before voting upon it
