Anti-Liquor Men Have Full
Charge and Refuse to Allow
Vote on Straightout Motion
to Repeal Wartime Act.
DEFEAT AMENDMENT
TO PERMIT 2.75 BEER
Stand So|idIy Against All At
taCks on General Enforce
ment Measure and Vote Down
all "LiberaI' Legislation.

Washington, July 14-Prohibi-
ton forces took full control in the
house Monday, refused to permit a
vote on straightout motion to re-
peal the wartime act, defeated over
whelmingly an amendment provid-
ing for the sale of 2}4 per cent beer
and stood solidly against all attacks
on the general enforcement measure.
just as fast as one liberal"
amendment was offered by oppo-
nents of prohibition it was voted
down without ceremony, always by
triple vote, for the minority, fight
ing every inch of ground, demanded
a division after yeas and nays were
called, and then asked for tellers.
Before the house got through with
the first section of the first part of
the three-part bill there was more
disorder on the floor than at any
time this season.
Cause of Disturbances.
The disturbance arose first during
an attempt by Representative Blan-
ton (dem.) Texas, to speak second
time against an amendment which
would have given jury the right to
define intoxicants, and was in
creased during an address by Rep
resentative Gallivan (dem.) Massa-
chusetts, who declared members
who voted dry should print in the
congressional record exactly how
much liquor they had stored in
their homes and Offices. AZ
The real battle of the day, how
ever, was over the amendment to de-
fine a non-intoxicant as a beverage
containing 2 "a per cent alcohol in
stead of one-half of / per cent, as
written in the bill. Representative
Dyer, Missouri, author of the amend
ment, did not ask for this definition
in the constitutional prohibition
amendment, but simply in the war
time law. In pleading for its adop-
ton, Mr.. Dyer declared it was what
President Wilson had recommended
to congress, and would permit, dur
ing the remaining period of wartime
prohibition, the sale of light wines
and beer, and might delay issuance
of proclamation by the president
which would restore the sale of
hard" liquors.
Round of Speech Making.
There was round of speech max
ing on this motion, an hour of it,
with the "drys' assailing it as an
entering wedge, and the "wets" as
serting that it merely would permit
the very thing the commander-in-
chief of the army had said was best
for the country for the next six
months.
After 2M per cent beer had been
bowled over by a record vote of
Isl to o0-and this was about rela-
tive division on all amendments
the prohibitionists went after an
other amendment by Representative
lgo (dem.) of Missouri, which would
have stricken out all definition of
intoxicants, killing the proposal, 128
to 80.
There was the utmost confusion at
times, despite vigorous whacks with

The seaplane was making test
flight working out a problem in
aerial wireless. 1t was practically
unobserved by the thousands OF
employees working in the yard and
had been in the air some time when
it was seen to descend at sharp,
swooping angle.
When about 200 yards above the
water, it suddenly dropped appar-
entity out of control. 1t struck the
water nose first and went straight
to the muddy bottom. The plane,
completely wrecked, rose slowly to
the surface. The injured men who
were in the rear of the machine
were rescued but the other three,
who were seated i'll the front, did
not rise to the surface. A detach-
ment of sailors dragged the riyer
