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."

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.

If you knew that you could cure

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
