JONES BILL AWAITS
COOLIDGE SIGNING.
Liquor Punishment Measure
Passes in House.,
1873 to 80.

BY the Associated Press.
Approved by both houses, the Jones
bill today needed only the Presidents
signature to become law. The meas
ure was passed by the House yesterday
by the one-sided vote of 1873 to 90.
The bill provides as a maximum
penalty for first violation of the pro-
hibition laws five years in prison or
fine of $4,000, or both. Discretionary
power is given Federal judges to dis
criminate between minor and major
offenders.
introduced by Senator Jones, Re-
publican of Washington. the meas
ure was probably the only one
considered during the session in
which the issue between the vets
and drys was well defined A few drys
were against it because they thought
the law too stringent. but very few
as the votes showed. While 1t was
in the Senate it precipitated debate
between Reed of Missouri and Borah
of Idaho. but all the Missourian's elo-
quence did not keep the bill from
passing the Senate by almost as large
a margin, comparatively speaking. as
it did the House.
Mcbride Looks On.
During the debate on the bill in the
House F. Scott Mcbride, general super
intendent of the Anti-Saloon League,
sat in one section of the gallery. while
in another section were representatives
of the Association Against the Pro-
hibition Amendment. DR.. McBride's
presence was noted by Representative
O'Connor, Democrat. New York, in an
attack upon the bill. Representative
OConnor intimated that the advocates
OF the Jones measure were not sup
porting the Constitution but were pass
ing the. bill because of the Anti
Saloon League, whose leader and whose
dictator sits there in the corner watch
ing your every move and who is send
ing messages down here somewhere"
He sits up there. DR.. Mcbride, the
super president of the United States"
O'C0nnor continued. Many of you
know he is there. That is the Consti-
tuition and that Is the amendment you
are supporting and not the eighteenth
amendment"
Moore Criticizes O'COnnor.
Representative Moore Republican,
Ohio, attacked O'Connor because the
New York member had declared in
speech on Wednesday that he despised
and abhorred the eighteenth amend
ment and would not vote for any meas
ure to enforce it.
During the discussion in the House
an amendment, proposed by Repre-
sentative Tucker, Democrat. Virginia to
discriminate between first offenders and
the habitual violatorS of the dry laws
was adopted by standing vote, but
when the amendment was submitted to
a roll call it was defeated.
The Tucker amendment was opposed
by Representative Christopherson, Re-
publican, South Dakota, on the ground
that any change in the measure at this
stage of the congressional session would
endanger its becoming law.
The amendments offered included one
by Representative O'Connor to make
capital punishment the penalty for dry
law violations This proposal, like all
others. was rejected
O'Cornor said he offered the amend
ment to show the temper OF the House
and predicted it would be adopted ex-
cept that 1t might result in the defeat
of the bill because of the severity of
the punishment proposed.

BONDS YIELD TO SELLING PRESSURE
Stock Privilege Issues Sink Dis aStrouSIy to New Lows

New York, Oct % R-Enormous liquidation of obligations carrying stock privileges featured the early trading on the nervous bond market today. The entire list sold off to some extent in sympathy with the general upheaval in equity markets, although the declines in issues of the highest grade were small and order ly.
 Losses in the telcphone convert ltlcs were prccipitate. American 1 lGs crashed 35 points to the new low of 115, as entrusted with the late August high of 227 and the pre- F!ouS bottom price of 1t9 IA. The dcbenturcs were sold several months ago to stockholders at par.
 International Tclephine 4ias fell Is points to 11S, where they were still about nine points above their previous years low. Their 1929 high is 224.
 Another prominent weak spot in the convertible group was the At chison &s, which tumbled about eight points. American I G Chcmi- cal 5I2s. which have sold as high as 135, dropped to par
 Public service of New Jersey 3's Topped more than 20. Texas Cor poration 5s, offered recently at 9SA, went shade below that figure.
 High grade rails found rather half-heartcd support. Northern Pacific prior lien As and General 3s, Pennsylvania General 5s. Buffalo Rochester X Pittsburgh 4 1-2s, and q few others declined by small frac- tions.
 There was counter balancing strength, however, in Central Paci- fife guaranteed 5s, Baltimore and Ohio 5S, Southern Railway General 6 l-2s and Chesapeake and Ohio i l-2s, among others.
 Utilities and industrials were mixed. Columbia Gas and Electric 5's, American Telephone 5's. Pacific Telephone first, 5's, Niagara Power first 5's and others of high grade established themselves slightly above their closing quotations but they Were mixed.
 Foreign issues were again soft.

 News Not Responsible
 The decline, like those which have preceded it, was not associated with anything in the days news, but rep resented the closing out of spccula- tive accounts weakened in the sue cession of crashes that have taken place during the past week. Bank CTS cndcavored to relieve the stu0- ton by reducing margin require ments on street loans from 40 to 25 per cent, and providing occasional support to assure an orderly market. but this was not sufficient to stem the gigantic wave of selling. The call money renewal rate was reduced from 6 to 5 per cent, and time money was freely offered at the low est rates of the year.
 Opening blocks on the New York stock exchange ranged frcm 10000 to S0,0O0 shares. When this initial dcluge of selling had been disposed of, the market rallied. but fresh of- ferings appeared and prices began to slide steadily downward until the early afternoon. Bankers held out hopes that today's selling would mark the climax Of the decline in most stocks, as quoted values, in many cases. were at levels to attact investment support.
