Washington, Feb. 21, "Bone dry. bono dry," echoed throughout the liouso of representatives today and "bono dry it Is, so far as pronlmuon states aro concerned, for by a vote of 321 to 72 tho house voted to concur in tho Heed amendmont to tho post offlce appropriation bill making it a crimo to Import liquor into "dry" statoa. With tho exception of Roprosonta tlvo Sloan ovory member from Ne braska voted to concur In Senator Reed's amondment, the result being regarded as a triumph for the "wots" on tho theory that a rigid enforce ment of prohibition laws and tli? ex clusion of liquor for porsonnl use will bring a revulsion of Bontlment In favor of a largor personal llborty. It Is counted as one of tho most far-reaching prohibition measures in yoar9 because, it will nialco absolutely dry states which now permit shlp monts in limited quantities. Every offort to chango tho amend ment was defeated ovorwhelmlncrlv PCrles of "bono dry" rang throughout tho liouso and the sentiment swopt tho houso until tho Inst vote tor con currence was cast. Members who at tempted to explain that thoy wore prohibitionists nt hoart, but stood for statos rights, wore greoted with laughtor. Tho amondment Incomparably the most farrroachlng prohibition legisla ture ovor approved byv either liouso of congross, would raise an absolute bar rlor against tho shipment of liquor into nneon stato whero It can b0 im ported lognlly now nnd whero millions of dollars worth Is consumed an nually It would add to the "bone dry" territory about one-third of con tinental Unitod Statos.
