its next house Of commons. the sew
enth in the reign Of King George v.
OF England, Scotland. Wales and
northern Ireland.
The prediction campaign was
marked with unusual apathy and
pending returns from today's vot-
ing the outcome was in doubt. Even
money was cbtainable in London
that the incumbent conservative
party would return 268 members
to the commons against 400 hold
ing office now. that labor would re-
turn 253 members against a present
membership of 100, and that the
liberals would jump 20 101 from as.
The outstanding uncertainty in
the polling was the voting OF more
than 100000 women. many be-
tween the ages of ri and rs. who
have not voted before.
The single important issue which
appeared in the campaign was the
Unemployment advanced by David

Der of the legislature with liquor in
an attempt TO obtain information,
was given before the house investi-
eating committee today by o. p.
Slack of Atoka, vice chairman of the
state fish and fame department.
Slack said that on the eve Of the
attempted impeachment session Of
1927, Mrs. Hammonds came TO hSRa
and asked him TO get Tom Johhsols
of Pushmataha county drunk and
find out what members Of the legis-
lature were for and who against the
administration. Johnson was one of
the four outstanding leaders of the
session.
The task was delegated to W. T.
Hunt, a clerk in Stacks department,
after Slack had told Mrs. Hammonds
he was afraid he would get "as
drunk as Johnson" the vice chairman
testified.
Hunt reported that Johnson didn't
drink, but returned with a list pur-

BY "a MILLION
Expenditure Placed In
Hands of President
By Senate

WASHINGTON. Jan. 23.-tPf-
Twenty-four million dollars has been
voted by the senate to help enforce
prohibition. The president would d.
rect the expenditure Of the money,
and in addition he would have at
his disposal $25O.000 to make an in
vestigation Of prohibition generally.
The story Of the voting Of the s24.-
600 900 yesterday included the usual
clashes between vets and drys in the
senate and off stage, and apparent
disagreement between leaders Of dry
organizations. Added to this was
Secretary Melons opposition to the
proposal.
While the first deficiency bill was
being considered, Senator Harris Of
Georgia. a dry. proposed an amend
ment that S25.000.O00 be added For
prohibition enforcement. The S24.-
100000 voted yesterday was the out
come of this, the roll call being 80
for and q against the proposal.
The president was given broad
powers for the disposal of the s24.-
100000. He must distribute IL to
government departments concerned
with prohibition enforcement. but he
may spend all, or only a part Of it.
as he sees fit. The money would be
available until June 80. 1880.
r. Scott Mcbride, superintendent
OF the Anti-Saloon league. denied
that friction existed in Anti-Sslocn
league circles over the appropriation.
Mr.. Mcbride had approved Secretary
MELONS stand against the Harris
amendment.
Earlier in the day. however. DR..
A. III. Briggs. superintendent Of the
California Anti-Saloon league. had
declared in a statement that Mcbride
was attempting the impossible in
trying TO carry the work Of legisla-
tive representative. DR.. Briggs took
issue with Secretary MELONS stand
on the amendment.
DR.. Briggs suggested that Edwin

preceded the late Wayne B. Wheeler,
