WASHINGTON. Oct. 28. Tempora
rily nonplussed by President Wilson's

today were working to obtain the nec

Leader of the anti-prohibition
forces were equally active, for thorough
an adverse vote in the senate there
still may be a "wet spell" before con

Dry leaders in the seuate were hope
ful of calling up the prohibition en

mediately upon the reading the the
president's veto message announcing
that he could not sign the measure be
cause it provided for enforcement of
wartime prohibi'lon which, he assert
ed, "sound public policy makes clear
the reason and necessity for Its re

the necessary two thirds would be ob
tained to override the veto.
The vote In the house yesterday of
1 75 to 55, twenty-two more than nec
essary, came within three hours after
the president's veto was announced
from the White House and followed
an uproar in the house chamber last

Leaders pleaded for postponement,
pointing out that a bare majority of

WASHINGTON, Oct. 28. Wartime
prohibition will be brought to au end

the White House.
Officials explained that the wartime
act provided that it should be annulled

declared and when the arm and aa
had been demobilized Congress was
informed yesterday by the president In
his message vetoing the prohibition

Ten Persons Lose Lives
When Ship Goes to
Pieces.
Muskegon. Mich., Oct. 28 Caught
by a gigantic wave as she was trying
to make this harbor after riding cut a
terrific gale on Lake Michigan from
Milwaukee last night, the Crosby
:tcamer City of Muskegon crashed into
the south pier at Muskegon channel
this morning and sank in less than ten
minutes, carrying to death at laet
twelve of her passengers and crew.
The exact number of dead has not
been determined, but may reach twen
ity-
The bodies of four men and three
women have been washed ashore and
the beach for miles is being patrolled
for additional victims.
The crash came without warring,
most of the passengers being caught
in their staterooms. The lights went
out and the screams of women passen
ners added to the confusion. Then fol
lowed the scramble fcr safety Most
of the pasrengers escaped by jumping
from the d'.cks to the pier.
The crash came almost within the
shadow of the coast guard station, but
the heavy sea rendered futile efforts
to launch lifeboats. Launching of
boats and rafts from the steamer also
! was imposed.
The exact number of dead may
never be known as the passenger list
:wen' down with the vessel.
Nothing is left of the illfatcd steam
er excepting tons of wreckage strewn
along the shore of Lake Michigan.
