D. T. TAYLOB. L PROHI! MAY PASS CONGRESS (By Parker H. Anderson) i WASHINGTON. ? Representative Yates Webb, of North Carolina, ad-, vanead tfce cause ot nat!on-<wlde pro- I hlbltlon materially yesterday when as chairman of the house Judiciary i committee he reported favorably the' joint resolution amending the consti tution to provide for national prohi bition. The voto in the committee was 12 . to ?, the largest majority yet given | the cause and the committee also j recommended that the resolution be I passed by the present Congress. Mr. Webb is one of the strongest supporters the prohibitionists have In Congress or anywhere else. He Is not. however, one of those who be lieve In ''wild cat'' legislation against i rum, but he has always been with the prohibitionists and but for his ac-1 tlon today the bill would -perhaps have remained in a pigeon hoi? Until some two or three years hence. There Is every reason to believe that the Webb resolution will pass , Congress If It Is permitted to come to a vote. The Hobeon resolution, sim ilar to tho present proposed legisla tion, received a, majority of tfcjtte but failed to become a law because a two-thirds vote Is necessary in mat ters pertaining to the changing of the constitution. Since the days-of Hobson there has been a remarkable tendency toward prohibition. Even Washington city Is on the verge of going dry and Virginia, the home of the mint Jullp. has already voted whiskey out of Its territory, forcing thirsty Tar Heels to pay express charges from Washington and Bal timore on packsges of "wet" goods, and numerous other states bsve adopted the same plan. In short, the states which now sell liquor are getting down to a closo margin and with th* active campaign which the enemies of rum are making there Is no doubt that they have a mighty good chance to put the question up to tho states to decide and that, too. In i mighty short time. MRS. GEORGE T. JONES DIED! IkUdTM Here Receive lfcwa of Uie Dofttli of Portlier Keel ilea t Of CI t jr. A Telegram baa been received by Mrs. E. W.
