Mr. Chandler proposes that Instead
of requiring- a two-thirds vote in each

amendment to the constitution, a ma

proposes that one-fourth of the atates

senator contended, might be an unin
tentional violation of law. ,
Bheppard retorted that Underwood
himself was trying to lay a "trap"
by attacking this bill and calling it
dishonest because it does not abso
lutely forbid importation of liquor
into the capital city. The Texan said
he had been advised that such a pro
vision probably would be unconsti
tutional, and the whole bill be thus
endangered.
Xiocal Option Is Provided.
Underwood declared that the people
tf Vila at at a had renudlated the charae
that he was a defender of the liquor !
Interests in the campaign when he
was .elected to the senate. Sheppard
replied that Underwood was elected ,
because of his ability ana influence
as a national leader, and not as, a re
ujt of his attitude on prohibition
in the campaign wherein Richmond P.
Hobson was his opponent.
Underwood also explained at some
length why he Is not inconsistent,
aa he says. In proposing an amend
ment for a referendum by the peo
ple of the District of Columbia on a
prohibition law, and at the eame
time is opposed to the initiative and
referendum and also to a national
amendment to be voted on by the
states.
lie asserted that he adheres to tne
principle of local option, and he drew
a distinction between referring a
to be brought before the house for
limited debate and vote. Predictions
are freely made that it will pass.
This will bring on one of the Spec- '
tacular fights of the session. Secre
tary McAdoo, whose department deals
with public building construction, said
some pointed things about omnibus
building bills in his annual report. He
asHerted that small towns under such
b'lls get buildings they should not
have, and large cities, where crowded
conditions cry for remedy, are neg
lected. It Is assumed that Secretary McAdoo
voiced the viewpoint of the president.
It la significant also that Assistant
Secretary Newton of the treasury de
partment, who Is directly in charge of
public buildings, gave out a strontr
statement supporting his chief and
intimating that a presidential veto
may await any future public buildings
bill on "omnibus" lines. 1
May IncluOe New Project.
"Washington, Dec. 21. Chairman
Hparkman of the house committee on
rivers and harbors says he expects to
report the annual appropriation bill to
the house before the holidays. Final
decision has not been made on the
question of Including new projects.
"Just after congress assembled," he
says, "1 advised the committee that
some new projects be included. Soon
after that we received Secretary Mc-
measure to popular vote by a leglsla-1 uCrliitU, . VV. T. a. X

lie favors local option, he said, and
is opppaed to the Anthony amendment,
because" that ajrould make it possible
for some of the states to Impose their
Views upon the people of other states.
- Sheppard, in charge of the district
prohibition bill, said that without any
personal reflection, "the logical effect
of this attitude la to make the senator
from Alabama the most powerful advo
cate of the liquor Interests."
The district prohibition bill is built
along the same lines as the law of
Oregon, and many other dry states.
It allows the importation for personal
use by one member of a household of
0n -quart of distilled liquor, or one
gallon of beer or one gallon of wine
In a month, forbidding manufacture,
sale or giving away.

to favor putting a few of them Into

"If we cannot provide the money

about time to go out of business."

Ooethals Bays Hew Tolls BUI Before1
Congress Will Put TJ. B. Ships on
Basis to Compete With tne British.
New York, Dec 21. (U. PJ The
United States soon will be able to
compete fairly with British shipping
by use of the Panama canal. General
George W. Ooethals, former governor
of the canal-sone, declared yesterday
in an address to the New York Mer
chants association at the Astor hotel
here.
He said American ships soon would
be placed on the same basis of canal
tolls as British vessels through a bill
now in congress.
The United States, Goethals said,
soon will begin payment of the debt
on the canal through revenue from its
use. He predicted traveling soon will
become faster because slides have been
stopped by widening of the channel. He
favored turning over resources of the
canal zone to American merchants,
contending that, as American money
had paid for development. Americans
snouid gain the profit.
