Wet and Dry
Battle May be
Revived Again
Joint Resolution Puts Prohibition
Up to Congress ; Flood of New
Bills in House Only.
Washington, Dec. 7. Congress had:
hardly drawn its first breath Mon-i
day before more than 1,000 bills and
resolutions poured in to be added to
the 12,000 bequethed to this session
by the last.
The new measures touch upon vir
tually every subject of legislative in
terest from prohibition to requests
for permission to build bridges.
The first day's output produced a
joint resolution by Representative
Gallivan, democrat, Massachusetts,
that put the question of prohibition
up to congress in a manner likely
to revive the wet and dry battle on
a rand scale.
In simple terms it proposed a na
tional referendum on this question:
"Should the congress of the United
States modify the federal act to en
force the 18th amendment so that
the same shall not prohibit the manu
facture, sale, transportation, impor
tation or exportation of beverages
which are not in fact intoxicating
as determined in accordance with
the laws of the respective states."
The resolution would authorize the
states to conduct the referendum in
192S, the federal treasury to reim
burse them for its cost.
Bills Flood House.
The flood of new bills Monday
was characteristic only of the house,
the senate bill clerk receiving only
one measure. It was the Walsh re
solution proposing investigation of
allegations that Arthur R. Gould, new
republican senator from Maine, had
figured in an irregular payment of
$100,000 to a New Brunswick, Can
ada official.
New measures in the house se
gregated themselves into groups af
fecting the postal service, the cotton
industry, war veterans, banking,
taxes, reclamation, radio and many
other phases of the country's activ
ities. lower Postcard Rate.
Chairman Griest of the postofiice
committee, offered a handful of bills
to restore hte 1-cent postal card rate
and to make other changes in postal
charges and service. Postmasters
would be placed under civil service
under a bill by Representative Lehl
bach, republican. New Jersey, while
Representative Tolley, republican.
New York, proposed an increase in
the maximum amount which may be
deposited in postal savings accounts
from $2,500 to $5,000, as favored by
Postmaster General New.
Representative Langford. democrat
Georgia, proposed .formation of a
federal cotton corporation, with
$500,000,000 capital stock, author
ized to fix a minimum price for the
staple. Representative Black, demo
crat, Texas, offered a bill to prevent
the secretary of agriculture from
forecasting cotton acreage in advance,
based on farmers' intentions to plant
while Representative Wright, demo
crat, Georgia, sought repeal of the
law providing for semi-monthly agri
culture reports simultaneously with
publication of ginning reports.
Banking regulations were touch
ed upon in bills by Representative
Brand, democrat, Georgia, and. by
Representative, Howard, democrat,
Nebraska, which would guarantee
deposits in national banks.

Long Illness
Fatal to Sena
tor McKinley
Served More Than Twenty Years in
Congress; One of Wealthiest
Solons.
Martinsville, Ind., Dec. 7. Sena
tor William B. Mckinley (111.), died
at a sanitarium here today.
Death followed an illness of sev
eral months. He was brought here
the latter part of August suffering
from prostastic cancer. He was 70
years old. The body will be taken
to Champaign, 111., where funeral
services will be held Friday. He had
served more than 20 years in con
gress, the latter part in the senate.
Senator McKinley, after recuper
ating to some degree from a major
operation performed last spring at
Baltimore, became critically ill dur
ing the early part of September due
to a pneumonia complication. The
veteran senator, however, overcame
this attack and early in October was
well enogh to take an interest in
the world series baseball contest.
Friends of Senator McKinley de
clared that the last session of con
gress sapped his strength consider
ably, as did the strenuous primary
campaign in which he was defeated
for renomination by Frank L. Smith
They intimated also that the investi
gation in the Illinois primary by the
senatorial campagin expenditures
committee was a source of annoy
ance to Senator McKinley in his en
feebled condition.
He was, early in his career, re
puted to be one of the wealthiest
men in congress, according to his
private secretary. Mr. McKinley's
long activity in the mortgage and
loan business had given him a for
tune and a number of years ago he
made numerous remunerative in
vestments in Illinois public utilities.
"Senator McKinley's great hobby
has always been the education of
boys." his secretary, C. A. Willough
"oy, said, "for instance, the McKin
ley fund at the University of Illi
nois for seniors to whom money is
lent to enable them to complete their
final college year. He always put the
young man on his honor.
Mrs. Robert Reed and son, Warren,
were visitors in Omaha today where
they spent a few hours there with
friends and looking after some mat
ters of business.
