EXCISE FIGHT IS ON
House Rejects Burleson Substitute,
171 to 129.
DELAY FOR DISTRICT BILL
Friends of Jones-Works Amendment
Insist on Direct Vote on
That Measure.
By a vote of 171 to 1'Jb the compromise
suggested by Representative Burleson for
the Jones-Works excise amendment to
the District appropriation bill was defeated
in tie* House yesterday afternoon.
When the vote had been announced it
was found that the District bill, with its
various amendments, occupied the same
position as before Mr. Burleson made his
motion to discharge the appropriations
committee from its further consideration,
non-concur in the Set.ate amendments,
except the excise amendment, and to concur
in that with an amendment.
The friends of the Jones-Works excise
measure, however, were much elated at
the result of the vote. They claim that
ir li?il liPcnlllf .1 lu> )lskkT?2?k itVk'.lhl
pass the J ones-Works measure as soon
as it was given an opportunity to vote
upon it.
Immediately after Mr. Burleson had
moved to suspend the rules and adopt
iiis resolution Mr. Webb of Xorth Carolina
asked if it were in order to move to
i-oneur in the Senate amendment, and
tiie Speaker ruled in the negative, saying
the motion must lie accepted or rejected
as a whole. A second to the motion of
Mr. Burleson was considered as ordered,
with forty minutes of debate 011 the motion
to suspend the rules.
Need of Immediate Action.
Mr. Burleson said that every member
realized the necessity of sending the b'll
to conference at once if action is to he '
expected within the limited time remaining.
He said there was only one amend- ,
mem to the bill causing trouble, the excise
amendment. He declared he believed
the House could settle this question, but ;
unfortunately there were two elements j
outside of the House nnuole lo agree and. !
for his part, he would not try to bring 1
them to agreement. In the amendment j
offered by the committee, lie said, there is
an eff.nt to give the District an effective
regulation of the liquor traffic.
Mr. Burleson said the amendment did
not affect the saloons now within the prescribed
limits until the expiration of their j
present license and licenses hereafter to
be granted. He said this amendment'
would reduce the number of saloons to'
about 325 from the present number of oSti. j
Not a Prohibition Measure.
Mr. Webb, taking up the cudgels for
t:ie Jones-Works measure, declared that
it had been falsely called a prohibition
measure, that it was merely intended
to restrict and supervise more carefully
the traffic in liquor in the District. He
insisted that the compromise suggested by
Mr. Burleson would not bring about
changes in the excise law which were
desired.
Mr. Cannon strongly opposed the enactment
into law of the Jones-Works bill,
particularly as it came in the form of an
amendment to the District appropriation
bill. He declared that the House had
had no opportunity to consider this measure
and would have no opportunity to
consider It at this session.
Mr. W illis of Ohio demanded that the
House be given an opportunity to vote
on tlx- Jones-Works measure. "I do
not propose," he said, "it shall be suffocated
even in the daylight by the gentlemen
who have reported this amendment.
if I know of any way to prevent
it. it has hern said that there are
not fifty men on this floor who are in
favor of the Jones-Works bill. If this
i-- true, why not give the membership of
the Mou.-e a chance to vote 011 it instead
of strangling it by this proposition?"
