BRTISH L TS RUMTRADETOU.S Commons to Get Measure Designed to Bar lllicit Shipments. By the Associated Press. LONDON, April 15.—The House of | Commons, by a vote of 215 to 143, to- day gave a Liberal member leave to tatroduce a bill to entitle the Board of Trade to suspend or cancel the certif- icate of any master, mate or engineer engaging in the illicit importation of intoxicating liquor mto United States territory. Isaac Foot, Liberal member from Cornwall, moved at the end of the ques- tion period today for permission to in- troduce such a measure. Under the rules, only one speech was allowed for and one against the bill. Lady Astor Speaks. After Foot had spoken for 10 min-| utes advocating the measure, Frederick | A. MacQuisten, Conservative member from Argyll and a lawyer who some- times acts professionally for the liquor trade, opposed the bill in a speech filled with humorous remarks. Edwin Scrymgzour, independent mem- ber, who is secretary of the prohibition party, interrupted MacQuisten and pro- tested against his speaking on the bill. Lady Astor, American-born peeress and ardent temperance advocate, also inter- rupted MacQuisten several times. MacQuisten made several retorts to Lady Astor’s interruptions. At one point he reminded her she had nearly lost the Sutton division of Plymouth in the last election—her plurality was 211—and Yl'edlcled that the next time she would | ose the seat altogether. Bill's Chances Stated. | ‘The House divided on the question whether leave to introduce the measure should be given, resulting in a favorable majority of 73. | As the bill is a private member’s one, it ‘was said in the parliamentary lobby | that, like most others of this category, it had little chance of passing into law. Mr. Foot, in introducing the bill, said that it was supported by members of | all parties and did not ask the House to ress any opinion on what the Amer- ican people had decided for themselves. A bill along similar lines, he said, al- ready had passed the Canadian Parlia- ment. ‘Would Restrain Lawless. “It was intended.” he said, “to defeat the purpose of lawless men who would Yower the reputation of this country, to Eevent misuse of the British flag and bring together two peoples.” | MacQuisten said it was a different thing here from Canada, where a lucrative trade was being done on the Canadian border “and the people who are breaking the law are American citizens.” He declared that if any British cap- tain or seaman broke the United States laws it was up to the United States to deal with him. It was preposterous, he said, that Parliament should bother :t. head about such minor points as this. After leave had been given to intro duce the bill, it was read for the first ‘ time, with Lady Astor as one of ns; sponsors. _— Gas Merger Under Discussion. ‘The Senate District committee in | session this afternoon is considering the | measure authorizing consolidation of the Washington and Georgetown Gas Light Cos.

Opposition to the Vinson bill to bring cotton exchanges under Government supervision was registered before the House agriculture committee today by Philip Weld of New York, vice president of the New York Cotton Exchange. ‘Weld said he thought “it a mistake to have any legislation enacted that would bring the exchanges under regulation™ because he felt it was not necessary.
