Washington, Oct. 29.-ln accord with
predictions made when the presidents
veto of the prohibition enforcement
measure was received in congress, the
senate followed the example of the
house and passed the bill over the
presidents veto by more than the req
uisite twO-thirds majority.
The vote in the senate was IS to 20,
the majority having seven more votes
than were needed to override the veto.
The bill will now become a law as

certify to the secretary of state that
the veto has been rendered Ineffective.
This certification probably will be
sent to the state department by the
end of the week.

The act makes the bureau of inter
nal revenue the directing agency in
the enforcement of both wartime pro-
hibitiOn and prohibition under the con-
stitutiOnal amendment, and pending
the organization of an Independent

nal revenue department, who can be
spared from tax work, have been di-
rected to cooperate TO the fullest pos
sible extent with the public and with
state, county and municipal officers
and with officers of the department of
justice in the enforcement of the act,
Director Roper announced. To insure
against delay collectors and agents

Lid Off When Treaty Is Passed.
War time prohibition will be brought
to an end by presidential proclamation
Immediately after the senate ratifieS
the German peace treaty, it was said
in the statement issued at the white
house.
Officials explained that the wartime
act provided that it should be annulled
by the president when peace had heen
declared and when the army and navy
had been demObilized. Congress was
informed by the president in his mes
sage vetOing the prohibition enforce
ment bin that Rehabilitation of the
army and the navy had been completed.
The white house announcement
clears up any doubt as to whether the
war would be ended legally with the
ratification of the Garman treaty.
Some officials had expressed the Opin-
ion that the war emergency would
not pass until the treaty with Austria
had been acted upon by the senate.
