DOUBLE PROHIBITION VICTORY. Washington, Feb. 28.?Prohibition won a double victory In congress to? night when the house passed, 273 to 137, the senate bill to make the na? tional capital dry and senate and house conferees on the postal appro? priation bill unanimously adopted an agreement under which the Reed bone dry amendment is virtually as? sured of enactment. Hope of agreeing on the postal sup? ply measure had been abandoned by the conferees, who last night submit? ted a resolution to continue existing postal appropriations for another year. Tonight, however, they got to? gether on a report which includes the Reed amendment, prohibiting ship? ment of liquor Into prohibition States and which they expect to present in both houses tomorrow or Friday. The leaders thought tonight there was no doubt of Its acceptance In senate and house. They a.e taking it for grant? ed, too, that President Wilson will ap? prove both that and the District of Columbia prohibition bill. The District bill, which would be? come effective November 1, was brought to a vote after a stubborn op? position had delayed for several hours the final roll call which the leaders knew would mean passage. All day and until lato in the evening they watched for an opportunity to put the measure into a position that would mean its failure with the expiration of the session Sunday. Failing to displace the bill or to force an adjournment, the filibusters centered their attention on an ef? fort to add amendments that would throw it into conference and prevent enactment at this session. They made their last stand on an amendment that would have given the people of the District a referendum on the pro? posal and would have put into the measure a provision prohibiting Im? portation of liquor for personal use. This was voted down 171 to 232. Va? rious other amendments were rejected by similar majorities. Debate on the measure had been limited by the drastic rule under which it had been brought up, so that tin usual dramat features of filibuster? ing wore placed by long roll calls forced by the opposition on repeated motions to adjourn, points of no quorum, amendments and motions to give some other bill the right of way. After several hours the prohibition champions despaired of p^sslngat all the house bill reported om the Dis? trict of Columbia committee with nu? merous amendments and adopted a special rule substituting the senate hill. Chairman Henry of the rules com? mittee led the fight for the wets. He succeeded in keeping the bill from coming up on the floor until after? noon by filibustering on a minor Judg shlp measure. After the prohibition leaders' , rule to substitute the senate measure was adopted 242 to 172, a roll call on the! bill Itself Boon was reached. While voting was in progress In the house William J. Bryan walked Into the house press gallery, watched the proceedings for a while and then went down to the speaker's lobby and talk? ed with a number of friends amonr the members. "I was in on tho killing," he said after the final vote. "Just say for me that I said 'de-lighted.' " Voluntary Letters of Highest Praise Coming In From All Parts of The South.
