3O-DAY RECESS
-Anti-Beer Bill Runs Into
Hard Luck At Final

WASHINGTON, Aug. 25.-Scna,
tors and representatives generally
left today for a vacation as a result
of the congressman declaring thir.
ty-day recess just before midnight
last night
Some, however, will remain fo1
committee work, particularly the
senate finance committee, which cX-
poets to continue its study Of the
permanent tariff bill and take up the
tax revision measure.
In the Senate the anti-beer bill
was put aside and efforts to make il
unfinished business when the senate
reconVenes were blocked.
President Harding was at the cap
itol late in the evening to complete
the enactment of measures by af-
fixing his sifnaturc.
The Senate is expected to resume
work upon reconVenlng, but Repre-
sentative Mondell, the Republican
leader, obtained an agreement to
have the House declare threc-day re-
cesscs from September 21 to Oct. 3.
Senators opposing the anti-beer
bin because Of the provision which
would subject all of mans property
except his home to search for liquor
without warrant, saw no hope of q
vote an dhad laid it aside.
Objection by Democrats prevented
Senate consideration of a bill passed
by the House imposing a duty Of 90

While flying about 900 feet

which caused her frame work to buc-
