"~ HOUSE WETS LOSE INFIGHT ON POISON Appropriations for Denatur- ing Industrial Alcohol Are Sustained. By the Associated Press. Foes of prohibition worked overtime Festerday at pummeling their enemy. ‘The House wet bloc failed in its first objective—the eliminstion of gppro- priations for denaturing industrial alco- hol with poisons—but they were en- couraged by registering the highest vote in years on the effort. ‘They mustered 54 objectors to poison denaturants against only half that figure when the same try was made last year. The majority against them, however, remained unchanged at 106. They made a second effort before the ‘Treasury bill which contained the item passed, but showed less strength, get- ting only 36 votes. Other Wet Features Defeated. Numberless other minor attacks on appropriations dealing with prohibition went down to defeat by even greater margins. After the session was over, however, prohibition was assailed outside the Capitol in a gathering of the Women'’s Organization for National Prohibition Reform. There Senator Tydings of Maryland, Representative Mary T. Nor- ton of New Jersey, both Democrats, and Mrs. Carroll Miller of Pittsburgh, Demo- cratic National Committeewoman from Pennsylvania, joined in calling for Tepeal of the eighteenth amendment. Dry Proposal Beaten by Dry. In the House, one prohibition ex- penditure was stricken from the Treas- ury bill. It was $10,000 for educational work in behalf of enforcement, which went out unopposed on a point of order raised by Representative Blanton, Dem- ocrat, Texas, a prohibitionist. An iden- tical proposal for narcotic work was struck out the same way. Among the wet attacks which fafled, ‘was an amendment %o forbid use of any Coast Guard funds for dry law work, another to taks out the $400,000 in- crease in funds for the Industrial Alco- hol Bureau, and a third to reduce by $150,000 the customs appropriation on the ground less liquor was flowing from Canada since that nation had estab- lished an embargo.

RIA, Va, December 6.— Removal of the fire siren from a pole at St. Asaph and King streets, which was ordered by Mayor Carroll Plerce several days ago, will be protested at a meeting of Columbia Engine Company, No. 4, to be held at the engine house to- night. llz’resenr, plans call for the transfer of the siren to Mount Vernon and Wind- sor avenues in Potomac.
