Washington, March 1.—By a vote
of 244 to 95, the House today re-
passed, over President Taft’s veto,
the Webb bill, prohibiting the ship
ment of liquor into dry states.
The debate was limited, and the
House re-passed the bill with a
a wide margin over nearly two-
thirds, ns the Senate had done.
The supporters of the bill say it
will make effective the prohibition
laws of the dry states, which are
now being violated, because intoxi
cants are shipped to private indi
viduals, and they say further that
the bill will have the effect of nulli
fying local laws.
The Senate re-passed the bill late
yesterday.
The^bill will now become a law.
Only one other time in the last
fifteen years has Congress over-rid
den a President’s veto. That was
when the Rainoy-Riverday bill was
passed over President Roosevelt’s
disapproval.
