UPPER HOUSE IS REAL DRY

Washington. D. C, Oct.. 2S. The
senate passed the prohibition en
forcement act over the president's
veto today and made immediately
effective machinery for preventing
sale of beverages containing more
than one-half of 1 per cent alcohol.
The vote was t5 to 20, or eight
more than the necessary two-thirds
majority. While there was a wrangle
over taking up the measure in place
of the peace treaty, which had the
right of way. there never was doubt
as to how the senate stood. It was
overwhelmingly "dry," like the
house, which repassed the bill with

had vetoed it. , j- "

enforcement law, despite presiden
tial objection to linking wartime
and constitutional prohibition acts,
there came from the White house
the announcement that the war-time
law which was put into effect aft
er the cessation of hostilities, would
be annulled the moment the senate
formally ratified the German peace
treaty.
It was the most definite of all offi
cial or semi-official statements bear
ing on the war-time act. Prohibi
tion leaders were plainly disturbed
Ly the news, for they had counted
firmly upon the country reaching
the effective date of constitutional
prohibition January 1C, 1920
without reopening the saloons.
Antis Promise No Delay.
Despite the clamor set up by wet
and dry forces over the White house
pronouncement, senate leaders said
they would proceed with considera
tion of the treaty as heretofore.
Senators who have taken an actiVe
part in the prohibition campaign
branded as unfair and absurd re
ports that they would delay the
treaty simply to keep the liquor
traffic from getting a foothold in
the comparatively short period re
maining before the country will go
dry for good.
Formal denial from the head
quarters of the anti-saloon league
that its officers would take part in
my movement calculated to delay
the treaty. League officers stuck to
the opinion that it would be neces
sary first to ratify the' Austrian
treaty before lifting the wartime
prohibition ban, which was said to
have been the ruling of Attorney
General Palmer, and they declared
their position was not altered by the
fact that President Wilson was pre
pared to cut through legal doubt
and wipe out 'a law, the necessity
for which he believes to have pass
ed. New Act Drastic.
With today's action by the senate
he department of justice is ready
to deal with any offenders against
the drastic provisions of the new
act. At best, heretofore, prosecu
tions were more or less haphazard
and necessarily so, it was said, be
cause of the loosely drawn language
of the act. but the new law gives
ample means of breaking up the
traffic.
So drastic is the enforcement act
that a man for., instance, may. be
fined or put in jail for displaying a
picture of a brewery or a keg. but
his right to store liquor in his own
home for his own use stood up
against all attacks in the committee
and both houses of congress.
Warning went tonight to dealers
selling 2 pes' cent beer, without
risk heretofore, that the new law
fixed one-half of 1 per. cent as the
legal limit of alcoholic content: .

Nebraska City. Neb.. Oct. 2S.
The Bank of Julian, ten miles south
of this city, just over the line in
Nemaha county, was cracked by pro
fessional yeggmen about 2 o'clock
this morning. The vault was open
ed through the use of nitro-gly'cer-ine,
which knocked off the., combi
nation. '
The inner doors were pried open
and boxes of the .customers were
cleaned out. Liberty bonds of the
coupon variety, jewelry and other
valuables were taken by thieves.
The safe containing the bank's
money was not opened. Money be
longing to the .Julian Roosevelt
fund, about $75. in an envelope in
the safe was not taken, probably
because the robbers did not see it.
Woman Hears Explosions.
The bank was entered through
the front door. The thieves first
attempt to cut a hole through- the
vault wall. But it is three feet
thick and it was evidently decided
to trust to "soup" and attack the
door. Two detonations were heard
by Mrs. Watkins. who lives next
door, but she paid no attention to
the noise.
Private deposit boxes were rifled
and their contents scattered about
the floor. The amount of bonds

will not be known until the cashier,
C. L. Mesnet, and his assitants can
check over the bond records. Sev
eral people had valuable jewelry in
their boxes. These articles were
taken.
Coupon Bonds Taken.
The thieves knew what they were
doing, as shown by the fact the
telephone cable was cut. They were
also experts in the use of nitro-gly-cerine,
and left no tracks behind. It
is supposed they entered the town
by automobile, although from what
direction or where they went after
the raid is not known.
Registered bonds were not taken,
but every coupon bond with the ex
ception of three or four is missing.
NOTICE.
To the Taxpayers of Cass County:
We the undersigned wish to call
the attention of the taxpayers of
Cass County to the importance of
the coming election on November 4,
1919, at which time the question of

mitted to the voters.
We consider that an emergency
exists which requires the earnest
thought and action of those who are
interested in county affairs.
Our old bridges have been deter
iorating faster than new ones could
be boult with the funds raised by
current taxation and we the coun
ty commissioners of Cass county
wish to state that in order to have
funds available for the construction
cf bridges necessary for the con
venience of the public the bonds
should be voted.
Respectfully,
JULIUS A. PITZ.
