TRADE BOARD
URGES VOTE ON
LIQUOR HERE
Congress To Be Asked to Grant
Referendum Before Enact
ing Further Laws.
Congress, before enacting further
legislation to regulate or ollmlnate
the liquor traffic In Washington. Is
to be asked to authorlio a referendum
vote of tho residents of the District to
determine wh'ether the community fa
vors absolute prohibition, or string
ent regulation under high Ucenso
system.
The Board of Trade lastnlght, at
one of the largest meetings In the
history of the organization, held at
the Wlllard, adopted a resolution di
recting its officers to present such a
request to Congress.
Members of the board also listened
to a plea from Vice President Mar
shall for a degree of preparedness
that will preclude the possibility of
Invasion, and cheered Congressman
James T. Lloyd's declaration that he
hopes to see the present Congress
settle so definitely tho taxation ques
tion In tho District that there will bo
no further occasion to deal with the
subject for many years.
Precipitates Debate.
While the referendum resolution
expressly stated that It was not the
purpose of tho Board of Trade in
acting upon the measure to put Itself
upon record as favoring or opposing
the adoption of either prohibition or
high license, the resolution precipi
tated a lively debate and a sharp par
liamentary battle.
Asserting that the question of a refer
endum vote is not new c-en in the
District, it having been granted to tho
icsidcnts in 1S38 to determine thoir
will with regard to a proposed coj.j
of laws, C. J. Gockoler introduced t'w
resolution, which read:
"Resolved, by the Washington BonrJ
of Trade, That Congress be requested
to authorlzo a referendum vote of the
icsidcnts of tho District ot Columbia
to determine whether tho community
favors nbsoltrlo prohibition ot the liquor
traffic, or its stringent regulation un
der a high license svstcm with smuil
zones of sectional prohibition. In de
velopment of the system provided by
existing law."
A motion by Mr. CSockelcr that debate
fco limited to thirty minutes was mei
by a charge from E. 8. Brcashaar-i
that back of tho movement for tho
referendum lay tho influence of tho
local liruior interests. Philip Walk-Ji-then
moved to table the reiolutlon, b'lt
his motion was lont on a division, ami
nn effort by Mr. Breashearfr to post
pone until tho next meetlrc met with
the same fate.
Move Toward Home Rule
William McK. Clayton, speaking In
behalf of tho proponents of tho
lcsolution, urged that tho tjucstlon was
put forth as a means of obtaining homo
rule, and declared that a vote against
the resolution would show a desire to
have the local laws made by citizens
of other communities.

week ended January 23, the Health De
partment, in Its weekly bulletin. Advised
precaution to prevent the spread of the
disease. The number of deaths from grip
rccoraoa since January i is tmrty-rour.
Tho onset of this rifirAfin in Indicated
by a headache, pains in the limbs,
chills, general discomfort, Increased
temperature, combined with aggravated
symptoms which accompany ordinary
au-cauca corns," says the bulletin.
"The vital forces are naturally
weakened, and the powers of the- body
to resist other diseases lower. It
would seem, therefor n, sensible
thing to do whon the Individual Is
nnectcd by tho above mentioned
symptoms particularly when the dls
euse lx bo prevalent In the District,
to exorciso unusual care, and to re
main indoors, If not In bed, and send
tav a physician." r
clared thnt he has a passion for loctl
self-government, " declarod Mr. Clay
ton, "and the people hero have that
samo passion."
E. Hilton Jackson, floor londer for
the opposition, branded the suggestion
that the voto would be a referendum'
as a mlsnomor. in that It would not
constlttue a mandate to Congress to
act. but could onlv serve as a sugges
tion that might bo acquiesced in or
disregarded ns tho members of Con
gress saw At. He also said that It
would bo Impossible to obtain a true
expression of opinion of tho residents
of the District on tho question, as a
large proportion of the dwellers here
possess votes lft the States, and would
not take part In the voto on tho referen
dum for fear of losing their franchises
in their respective States.
Col. Robert N. Harper deolared that
ho had no interest In the question, ex
cept tho high regard which he had for
the right to express an opinion on so
important a subject.
Called To Order.
Andrew Wilson, president of Uio Anti
Salon League, having undertaken to
read from the report of the lolnt com
mission that Investigated the fiscal rota
tions between the Federal Government
and the District the comments of Sena
tor Works on the subject of tho liquor
traffic, was called to order by President

Brandenburg, with tho reminder that.
"tho subject before tho house Is tUfl
adoption of the rco'utlon. and 'not tho
subject of prohibition.''
Mr. Wilson concluded with flio ad
monition that the board houltt not
stultify Itsolf, and remarked that ho
represented In a measure some of tho
moral Interests of tho community,
Philip Walkor opposed tho resolution
on the ground that there Is no cleotorala
In tho District, .and Do election ma
chinery lio.-o to conduct properly the
referendum proposed. Ho nltcd tho ef
forts of the great political parties to so
led delogatea in tho District to the
party' conventions, and termed them
'lnrclcal," and added that "thoro Is
nothing honest In such elections." Ho
then pointed to the concern which tho
btatoa have had in conduction- their
election on an honest basis.
K. B. BreaBhenrs demanded to know
why this referendum. If it wore Doing'
resorted to as a wedsrn for homo rulo.
had not boct attatched to some school
question or other problem than tho li
quor traffic.
Marshall In Happy Vein.
Vice, Presidonl Marshall, speaking in
a happy vein, laid that he did not care
to touch on woman's suffrage, sultrago
for tho District, or prohibition. ' since
tnoy are dangerous subjects, and no
man Is fitted to bo Vlco President who
dares tiavo an opinion.
Ho turned then to the subject of ore.
porodness, and advocated a middle
course between absolute militarism and
absolute suplneness. Ho said that ho
wanted a sufficiently largo navy and
army to protect against Invasion, and
advocated a system of education whloh
will teach young men "how to care for
their health, to obey orders, and to
shoot a. gun."
Congressman hloyd said that the
members of Congress are anxious to
know what tho people of tho District
want Though Interested In self-government,
the speaker said that ho d!tl
not care to advocate suffrage, but added
that he did wish to say that tho oooolo
of tho District have a right to assert
their wishes and be heard on the hill.
He cautioned ogalnst aburo of opponents
of tho wishes of Washlngtonlans. nnd
asked that thev como to tho Cnnltol In
a spirit of harmonv. "so that whatever

state or airarra and moro permanency
