MAJORITY FOR REPEAL LARGER
THAN WILSON SUPPORTERS
EXPECTED. '
220 Democrats Stood by the President
and Only 52 Voted Against
Measure.
Washington. The national house cf
representatives, after one of the most
spectacular legislative struggles In the
history of the nation, voted to repeal
the provision of the Panama canal
act exempting American vessels from
the payment of tolls. The vote on the
repeal bill was 247 to 161 a majority
of 86 votes in support of the personal
plea of Woodrow Wilson, president of
the United States.
This verdict on the issue which has
absorbed congress' for many weeks
came at thn close of a stirring day
made memorable in the annals of the
house by a party division which found
Speaker Champ Clark, Majority Lead
er Underwood and other Democratic
chieftains lined up In open opposition
to the president on an issue which the
latter had declared vital to his con
duct of the nation's foreign policy.
On the final vote 220 Democrats in
the house stood by the president, giv
ins him in "nnerudelne measure'
what he had asked "for the honor of
the nation" in its foreign relations.
Twenty-five Republicans and two Pro
gressives also voted to sustain the
nresident. Fiftv-two Democrats fol
lowed Speaker Clark and Leader Un
derwood to defeat.

SECRETARY DANIELS ISS'JES A
RULE TO BAR LIQUOR F.OM

ORDER EFFECTIVE JULY 1

of the Navy.

Washineton. Absolute prohibition
will prevail in the United States navy
after July 1 next. Secretary Daniels
made public a sweeping order, which
not only will abolish the traditional
wine mesa" of the officers, but will
bar all alcoholic liquors from every
ship and shore station of the navy.
This order, constituting one of the
most notable victories aver won by
nrohibltlon forces, was issued on the
recommendation of Surgeon General
Braister.
"The use of introduction for drink
ing purposes of alcoholic liquors on
board any naval vessel, or witiiin any
navy yard, or station, is strictly pro
hibited, and commanding officers will
be held directly responsible for the
enforcement of this order."
In a statement Secretary Daniels
said:
"I am in hearty agreement with the
views expressed by the surgeon gen
eral. There should not be on ship
board with reference to intoxicants,
nnn rule for officers and another and
a different rule for the enlisted per
sonnel. The saddest hour in my ornciai
life is when an officer or enlisted man
must be nunished for intoxication.
During the past week it has been my
painful duty to approve a courtmar
tial for dismissal from the service of
an officer for intoxication. He told
me that he never had tasted intoxi
cants until he did so in the wine mess
nn the cruise. Others who have been
disciplined for drinking to excess have
made similar statements to me.
"Officers now are commissioned at
the early age of 22 years. Has the
government a right to permit tins
vemptation, which too often destroys
;he highest usefulness of young of
ficers? I think not. If there is one
profession more than any other that
calls for a clear head and a steady
hand, It is the naval profession.

the Panama canal is opened next year.
In the same connection it is believed
that it is up to the ingenuity of the cot
