HOUSE PASSES
PROHIBITION BILL
VETO OF PRESIDENT WILSON is
OVERRIDDEN BY VERY DE-
CISiVE VOTE.
QUICK ACTION UNEXPECTED
Attempt to Postpone Consideration OF
Veto Message FaiIed-President
Objected to Wartime Clause
in the Bill.

.Nashington-Presid Wilson un-
expectedly vetoed the prohibition
enforcement bill, and within three
hours the House had repassed it over
his vote by vote Of 1l6 to so. The
total vote was barely more than
majority of the entire membership.
Dry leaders in the Senate immedi-
stely began laying plans to- re-pass
the bill there.
The president refused to sign the
bill because it included the enforce
ment Of wartime prohibition.
The objects of wartime prohibition,
the president said in his veto, had
been satisfied, and sound public pol
icy makes clear the reason and neces-
sity for it's repeal"
1t would not be difficult, the presl-
dent held. for Congress to deal sep
arately with the two issues.
The veto hit Congress like crack
of lightning. The house getting on
Its feet again, deserted its leaders,
who wanted to defer consideration
SO as to round up all the dry mem
bers. But the drys swept into the
chamber and showed there was an
overwhelming sentiment among them
to give the government ample weap-
ems for dealing with the liquor traffic,
now outlawed throughout the land
Nobody had really professed to
know that the president would veto
the bill. Republicans and Democrats
alike-and the countless multitude
that had sorrowfully watched the
passing of the bars-though it would
become a law without his signature.
Attorney General Palmer, it was
said, had declared 1t constitutional.
But the president, propped up in
bed, dictated and then signed veto
message and sent it along to Con-
gress, without worrying apparently
about 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
into thin air.
Prohibition leaders predicted that
the refusal of the House to accept the
presidents veto meant that the sale
of LIQUOR would not be permitted
again in the life of this and many
other generations.

MEX|CANS SLAy
TWO AV|ATORS
MISSING AVIATORS SAID TO HAVE
BEEN MURDERED BY MET-
ICAN FISHERMEN.
SLAYERS ARE BEING TRACtD
Story of Their Experiences, ScraW'eo
On Aeroplane, Indicates Much SUI
ferina Before the Tragic End
inq of Their Career.

San Diego-It vas officially an
nounced here that Lieuts. Cecil II
Connolly OF San Diego and Frederick
B. Waterhouse of Weiser, Idaho, army
aviators missing since Aug. Il, were
slain in lower California by two Mex
ican fishermen.
The announcement was made lpon
the arrival here CT the destroyer
Aaron Ward, bringing the bodl~s OIL
the two aviators from Bahia Los. An
geles, on the gulf of lower California,
to which point they had" flown after
losing their way in border ratrol
flight from Yuma, AriZ., to San nlego.
According to Maj. R. S. Bratton,
head of the military party sent from
here to recover the bodies, the singers
were from a Mexican sloop, their lden-
tity Is known to the United States ana
Mexican governments and steps are
being taken to capture them.
The destroyer also brought part
Of a story of the sufferings endured
by the young aviators in the form OF
notes scrawled in part on the wingr
and fusilage of the De Hafiland air
plsne in which Connolly and Water
house made their last fligh. Some OF
the messages, evidently written when
the aviators lad almost tost hope OF
being found, were of such a tragic
nature that Maj. Bratton asked the
newspaper reporters to refrain from
using them, cut of consideration for
the officers families.
Mai. Bratton said that the two avia-
tors had gone 19 days without food,
or at least without much 80 sustain
them. The fate that drew them far
from their air path remained with
them until the very last. Maj. Theo-
dore MacAuley, in one Of his flights
to find them, flew within 60 miles Of
the spot where they stood guarding
their plane. Later, on the afternoon
of Sept. 6, they were landed from n
conae on the shores of Bahia Los An
geles by the same fishermen who are
accused of having killed them five
days later, and at that time were only
IL miles from Los FLORES Silver Mine,
where they might have received pro-
lection and food.
One of their messages, scratched on
the airplane fusilage with a Knife or
nail; said the airmen remained in the
air four hours and five minutes, that
they ran into rainstorm and lost
their sense of direction When they
sighted the Gulf Of California they
thought they were flying up the coast
instead of southwark along the east
coast of the Gulf of California.
Another message, traced on the
wings and fusilage, told how the air
men attempted vainly for two days to
catch fish to appease their hunger.
They then started walking northward
toward the border, but returned to
their airplane in &c hours, when their
supply of water became exhausted.
The airmen drank the water from the
radiator of their plane. This proved
sufficient to allay their thirst up to
the time they were taken to Bahia Los
Angeles from' Guadeloupe Bay, where
the plane landed by the fishermen.
"There was absolutely no question
