DEBATE OVER

Prohibition Argument Occupies At

tached to Make District of Colum
bia Dry-Wilson and Bryan Both
Cited Valuable Time Wasted.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 10. Despite
the pleas or leaders to cease discus
sion and turn to work on appropria
tion bills, tlic senate devoted its ses
sion today to a prohibition debate
bused on the proposal to suspend tln
senate rules to attach n "dry" rider
to the District of Columbia appropri
ation bill. Senators on both hides
took part in the debate, which ranged
from legislative technicalities to tho
merits of alcoholic drinks nud tho
value of prohibition.
Itryau and Wilson Cited
Senator James put into the record
n ropy of President Wilson's letter to
Rev. W. T. D. Shannon of New Jer
sey, favoring- local option, but oppos
ing the making of a political issue out
of the question.
Senntor Kenyon Mibrcittcd an edi
torial by Secretary llrynn, which hn
snid put tho democratic pnrty in fa
vor of prohibition.
To seek some means of relieving
the legislative jam iu the senate, the
democrats of that body will havo u
caucus lato todny.
Suggestion lias been made .that nil
legislation except the appropriation
and ship hills be abandoned and that
two weeks be set aside immediately
for consideration of tho latter.
Wasting Voidable Time
On Hip senate floor during" debatu
Senator Thomas took his democratic
colleagues to task for wasting; 'valu
able time.
"Forty-threo days of this sciou
are behind us and forty-six remain,"
said lie. "Fourteen appropriation
bills are to be passed. Wo havo
passed one. And,' what is mem, 7"
per cent of the lime Iiiih been con
sumed on this side of this chamber,
where responsibility for legislation
rests."

WASHINGTON, Jan. 10. -Inform-ally
reporting tho $148,000,000 naval
bill to tho bouse today, tho naval
committee said that while iu the
Kuropean war "the submarine has
been effective iu harbor and coast
defense, it has not been nblo to con
trol the sen as tho superior battleship
fleet has done, causing; nu enemy with
an inferior battleship fleet to suffer
great loss of merchant ships, block
ading; its ports nnd driving its com
merce off the sens."
The committee reported tlint there,
fore tho two battleship program had
not been changed. 11 added that "tho
effectiveness of tho submarine in tho
Kuropean war demonstrated it to bo
a naval weapon of great value," and
that the "air&hip for scouting; pur
poses, likewise, has demonstrated its
effectiveness."
The bill probably will bo reached
for debate about February 1!L It
carries an increaso of $8,102,000 iu
the building program over what tlio
navy department recommends! Tho
committee commended Secretary
Daniels for economies, strongly in
dorsed the proposed now offjeo of
chief of operations and urged Hit)
provision for creating ft naVnl re
set ve which would provide 25,000
trained men within it few years.
