tation and credit, money spent in de-

FIRE SIREN REMOVAL
WILL BE PROTESTED
Signal in Alexandria to Be Dis.
cussed Tonight at Meeting of
Columbia Engine Co.
By a stan correspondent Of The Star.

By stsf Correspondent Of The Star.
ALEXANDRIA, Va, December g.
Removal of the fire siren from a pole
at st. Asaph and King streets. which
was ordered by Mayor Carroll Pierce
several days ago, will be protested at
a meeting of Columbia Engine Company,
No. 4, to be held at the engine house to-
night.
Present plans call for the transfer
of the siren to Mount Vernon and Wind
sor avenues in Potomac. Mayor Pierce,
who, it is understood, has been instru-
mental in its removal, Is president of
the Citizens National Bank, which is
at the intersection where the siren Is
now located.
A number of citizens are exercised
over the matter, it being claimed that
the siren has reduced the hazard Of ac-
cidentS at the intersection, served to
clear traffic speedily for the passage of
the fire apparatus, and also served to
notify members of the Volunteer Fire
Department that there is fire. Several
years ago, before the erection Of the
siren, several bad accidents occurred at
the intersection.

HOUSE VETS LOSE
IN FIGHT ON POISON
Appropriations for Denatur-
ing Industrial Alcohol
Are Sustained.
ny the Associated Press.

~ the Associated Press.
Foes of prohibition worked overtime
yesterday at pummeling their enemy.
The House wet bloc failed in its first
objective-the elimination of appro-
priations for denaturing industrial alco-
hol with poisons-but they were en-
couraged by registering the highest vote
In years on the effort.
They mustered 81 directors to poison
denaturants against only half that
figure when the same try was made
last year. The majority against them,
however. remained unchanged at 106
They made second effort before the
Treasury bill which contained the item
passed, but showed less strength, get
ting only SO votes.
Other Wet Features Defeated.
Numberless other minor attacks on
appropriations dealing with prohibition
went down to defeat by even greater
margins.
After the session was over, however,
prohibition was assailed outside the
Capitol in gathering of the Women's
Organization for National Prohibition
Reform. There Senator Tydings of
Maryland, Representative Mary T. Nor
ton Of New Jersey, both Democrats, and
Mrs. Carroll Miller of Pittsburgh. Demo-
cratic National Committeewoman from
Pennsylvania, joined in calling for
repeal of the eighteenth amendment
Dry Proposal Bsaten by Dry.
In the House, one prohibition ex-
penditure was stricken from the Treas
ury bill. It was $4,000 for educational
work in behalf of enforcement, which
went out unopposed on point of order
raised by Representative Blanton, DEM
ocrat, Texas, prohibitionist. An iden-
teal proposal for narcotic work was
struck out the same way.
Among the wet attacks which failed,
was an amendment TO forbid use of any
Coast Guard funds for dry law work,
another to take out the $400, 900 in
crease in funds for the Industrial Alco-
hol Bureau, and a third to reduce by
$l50.o0O the customs appropriation on
the ground less liquor was flowing from
Canada since that nation had estab-
nShed an embargo.
