famine relief
BILL STRIKES
SNAG IN SENATE
Opposition to Appropriation
of $1OO,0OO,OO0 to Feed
Europe Led by Borah
and Kenyon.

Washington, Jan. 18.-After many
hours of debate the senate failed
tonight to reach vote on the bill,
already passed by the house, APP
propriating $100,0000OO for Euro-
pean famine relief, as urged by Pres
ident Wilson.
Despite the outspoken opposition
of some members, republican and
democratic leaders expressed the be-
lief that the measure would be put
through Monday. They had hoped
to pass it before adjournment to-
night.
Democratic Leader Martin and
Senator Lodge spoke in favor of the
measure, while Senator Borah of
idaho and Kenyon of Iowa, repub-
Leans, led the opposition. Senator
Myers Of Montana, democrat, also
said he could not give the bill his
support.
The opposition largely was based
on alleged lack of authority by com
gress to appropriate money, raised
from the people BY taxation, for
European charity and also because,
it was asserted, sufficient informa-
ton justifying the appropriation had
not been submitted to congress.

Nebraska May Lose
Honor Of CGnching
National Dry Act

Chicago, Jan. lS.-Missouri in
stead of Nebraska may be named the
thirty-sixth state to ratify the prohi-
bition constitutional amendment.
Indications are that the Michigan
legislature, which has been credited
with passing the amendment on
January 2, 1919, making this state
the sixteenth to outlaw drink-must
act again on the measure because
of a technicality. Missouri, which
raced closely with Nebraska to cast
the deciding vote, would thus be
elevated to the place of honor. =

THEORY OF OLD
WOMAN GIVEN
SERIOUS BLOW
Water Bill for Omaha Club
Shows. Less Water Used
During Dry Year
Than Previously.

The theory of the old woman who
said: Il know my boys don't drink
because they drink SO much water
when they come home" has received
another serious blow.
Tie Omaha club has just issued
its yearly statement for the year of
1918, and in spite of the fact that
the statement covers IL extremely
dry months, so far as the glass thar
cheers is concerned, every depart
ment of the club house shows less
water used than ever before, while
cigars, Billiards and the restaurant
shows an extraordinary gain.
For instance in the club house, the
water bill was $64 against $50 the
previous year.
The restaurant shows big slump
in water. Business in the buffet fell
off approximately $4,000 which is
considerable considering 1917 only
had four wet months.
The report show the club has ex-
perienced one of the most successful
years in its history, having on the
3lst Of December, 1918, total of
3l3 members.
The following members of the
club died during the year of 1918.
DR.. c. c. Allison, Chauncy Abbott,
E. M. ANDERSEN, H. w. Binder,
