PROHIBITION_FIfiHT LOST. HOBSOX RESOLUTION FAILS BY 61 VOTES. South Carolina Delegation VoteSolidly to Submit a Constitutional Amendment. Wnfihine'tnn Dee. 22.?The Hob son resolution to submit a constitutional amendment for national prohibition to the State legislatures was defeated in the house tonight, 197 members voting for and 1S 9 against it. An affirmative vote of two-thirds was required to adopt the resolution. Immediately after announcement of the vote the house adjourned, the crowd that had packed the galleries throughout the prolonged debate dispersing with mingled expression of regret and jubilation. Prohibition leaders declared the vote of 197 for the resolution had come up to their expectations. Whether a similar resolution submitted by Senator Sheppard, of Texas, would reach a vote in the senate at I this session was not certain tonight. Administration leaders were inclined to believe it would not, because it could not pass the house. Notwithstanding repeated public assertions that many members of the house would try to dodge a record vote, the roll-call disclosed a larger attendance than the average throughout the session. To have carried the house the Hobson resolution would have required 258 affirmative votes. It thus failed to carry by 61 votes. After Long Debate. After more than ten hours of debate the house of representatives, shortly before midnight tonight, was ready for a roll-call on the Hobson resolution to submit to the States an 1 amendment for national prohibition. It was at the conclusion of the nf rnoont H O l'C in PrtTl 11JU51 OUHillg Vi. i vwitv vV.. gress, and after votes on several amendments, that the final vote was reached. Representative Hobson had closed the general debate, participated in by all the'house leaders. Although advocates of the resolution predicted it would receivp a majority vote, many of them, including Mr. Hobson. conceded that it would not receive the two-thirds necessary for passage. First Indications. First indications of the line-up of the house on the prohibition constitutional amendment came to a rollgall tonight on an amendment proposed by Republican Leader Mann, which would have submitted the amendment to State conventions instead of to State legislatures, as the Hobson resolution prescribes. Two f hundred and ten voted with Hobson against the amendment and one hundred and seventy-six voted for it. It was ten o'clock when the vote was taken, after ten hours' of debate. In a rising vote, taken previously, 193 voted against the Mann amendmont arid 127 for it. Henry, of Texas. Representative Henry, of Texas, opposed the amendment. "This question is one which must be left to the individual State," he said, "and I venture to predict that after this amendment is voted on \ here today the question of prohibition will appear on the floor as a national issue for twenty years. "I love my country, but I will never support a constitutional amendment that will send a horde of federal spies, satraps and intermeddlers into Texas." Representative Helfin, of Alabama, declared State control of the liquor trafflc was making good progress in 'Alabama, and argued against "surrendering powers of the States wnich saved the South in the days of reconstruction." Defended Saloon. Representative Bartholdt, of Missouri, defended the saloon as an institution, declaring he knew of saloons "where a gentleman would not hesitate to take his wife and daughters." "You cannot cure the demand for drink by cutting off the supply," he said. "What right has the prohibitionist from the corn fields of Kansas, the cotton fields of Georgia or the seacoast of Maine to tell the steel worker, who faces a temperature of 2,800 degrees at the furnace door, that he shall not have his beer when his work is done?" demanded Representative Barchfield, of Pennsylvania, who opposed the amendment. Representative Saunders, of Virginia, supported the amendment, and argued against the contention that it "would rob the States of reserved powers." "The fear of gentlemen that an army of federal spies and informers and officials will invade the States is but a poor argument," he said. "The army is there now, spies, informers and all. It is under the internal revenue bureau." Read The Herald, only $1.50 year. i GERARD SAVED PEERESS. Ml Put I'p $50,000 Cash to Keep Her Su From Jail. How the daughter of a British '> peer was saved from a German pri- Til son through the efforts of Ambassa- th< dor Gerard and T. St. John Gaffney, Lu consul general at Munich, has just . been revealed here through the re. turn of Hon. Mary Isabel Portman . to the home of her father, Viscount re , Portman. Miss Portman was about SU to be incarcerated Decause she was unable to pay the contractors who iss built a magnificent villa for her near j Munich, and she only escaped be- ** cause first .Mr. Gaffney and then Mr. ?P( Gerard deposited $50,000 in cash CUI with the Bavarian authorities. The money came from their own pockets, i of course. snj Mr. Gaffney also is in England of now and will obtain from Lord Port- f?r man certain securities for $50,000 to 19 carry back to Mr. Gerard. The se- ba curities will be deposited until the tin war is over, because Lord Portman dit would not be allowed to pay money we to an alien enemy now. . toe Mr. Gerard originally directed Mr. Gaffney to go to England and inspect shs the British detention camps and Pai make a report in order to allay the to apprehensions of the German govern- UP' ment. Mr. Gaffney inspected the be chief camps in Germany to qualify himself for a similar investigation here, but on his arrival in London he was informed by the embassy that cie Chandler Hale had just completed a th tour of inspection of every camp in P^1 the United Kingdom, and that the th British government was averse to cor having further visits made unless they were absolutely necessary. Mr. or ' Hale's report was already in Berlin, ma but Mr. Gerard was unaware of it Du when he sent Mr. Gaffney here. How .ever, Mr. Gaffney's time was by no means wasted, because he had a conference with Lord Portman and his daughter and completed arrange- Jai ments for safeguarding Mr. Gerard's loan for the duration of the war. Miss Portman had been a resident * of Munich for seven years. She is a me very talented violinist, and her love tlia for music was responsible for her anc residence in Germany's musical cen- a^c tre. Several months before the war ed began she signed contracts for the cla construction of a country home at kill Garmisch, near Munich. It was to the cost $100,000. At the outbreak of wa r\ A no i A Violf tho o m on n t she lilt; well silt; iiau ^/aiu uuti due and was quite ready to pay the ' remainder, her only desire then he- tW( ing to get out of Germany, but she ?* could not get the money from her is 1 bank owing to the moratorium, and lar her father was unable to send the amount to her because under the act tw( forbidding trading with the enemy ^ai he was not allowed to settle with the the German contractors. The builders got out a warrant for me Miss Portman's arrest for the n - , payment of their bills. She appealed ^ to Mr. Gaffney, who accompanied her j to the police station, where both of ^, them remained for five hours until am Mr. Gaffney was able to get $50,000 in cash to deposit as bail for her. This sum he had to leave in the tin hands of the police for ten weeks to save Miss Portman from being locked ., the UP- fro Meanwhile Lord Portman had ap- ^ pealed again and again to the British war office for permission to send the ^ ^ necessary amount to Munich, and C6D had even left the money with Ambassador Page here, which, however, use the Germans refused to accept as se- .. tie* curity. Finally Mr. Gaffney, followine a further heated demand from the contractors for payment in full, ' conferred with Ambassador Gerard, who volunteered to advance the en- ^ tire sum to Miss Portman, and only . ins when the gold was actually in the . casi hands of her creditors was she perbor nutted to leave Germany. cou The Mail Order Menace. j r . i A big heavy octupus it is, thrust- COr ing its tentacles out to every borough wh and hamlet of this broad land of far ours. be And when one of its tentacles goes rjS( out it comes back to the hungry man j bringing with it the life blood of the buj rural merchant.

SUDDENSHOCKS ip Impair the System, Shorten Life and do Great Harm If you knew that you could cure yourself or your child of a malignant disease by the use of dynamite, would 8 you take the chance? Calomel acts on the sluggish liver like dynamite on the solid rock. It shocks and upsets the organs and works much harm as proven by its after effects. Modern science has discovered a vegetable substitute that produces all the desired effects of calomel without the shock or after troubles. It is 60 harmless that acids may be taken into the system immediately after the medicine without fear of after effects. It rids liver, kidneys and bowels of all poisonous accumulations and 3 leaves the patient feeling new and I strong. I CARSWELL'S LIVER-AID is on 1 sale at Mack's Drug Store, Bamberg, 8 S.
