Advocates Confident of Favorable Action in House. Washington, Jan. 10.?The fight for n "Hrv" nntinnnl woo +? ?! ferred to the house today from the senate, where the Sheppavd prohibition bill for the District of Columbia was passed late yesterday by a voce of 55 to 32, Advocates of the measure apparently are confident of favorable action in the house. As it goes to the house the bill would abolish saloons in- the District and prevent the manufacture or sale of liauors within its limits, but would not prohibit their import for personal use. The measure would be affective November 1, next. One of the final acts of the senate was to reject by a tie vote of 43 to 43 an amendment providing for referendum of the prohibition questions to citizens of the District. When the senate bill was reported to the house it was referred to the District of Columbia committee house leaders agreed it should be taken up on the floor of the House as soon as possible. Friends of the bill are ready to force its consideration hv a snecial rule if the committee does not act withn a reasonable time. PREACHING AT WEST SPRINGS. Rev. Clarence B.
