\
Washington, D. C.—The senate today
refused to agree to the Lever cotton fu
tures bill, adopted yesterday by tha

The West Virginia Prohibition
Amendment Goes Into Effect
July Ist. Slocks Disposed of
Charleston, W. Va.—Reports from
i -r the state today indicated that
many saloonkeepers anticipated the
enforcement <ff the prohibition amend
ment tonight by closing their places
this planting. Homo or them had dis
posed of their stocks and others frank
ly confessed they feared disorder In
the closing hours of business. Brew
eries and distilleries have been going
out of business for a month, some be
cause they feared pecuniary loss at
tending large stocks when the end
came and others in order that their
1 lants might be rebuilt for other man
ufacturing purposes. One large brew
ery in Wheeling Is almost ready to
open as a meat packing house. Fred
O. Blue, tax commissioner, put the
finishing touches on his plans for the
enforcement of the amendment, and
state officials expressed the belief that
little trouble would be experienced in
th more populous counties.

Afloat and Ashore, It's the Last “Wet”
Day in U . S. Navy-Prohibition Order
Goes Into Effect at Midnight
Washington, D. C.—Afloat and ashore,
todai sees the lasi of the wine mess In
the United Hiatcs navy. Hecroiary Dan
iel's famous prohibition order goes Into
effect at midnight tonight, after which
any office, found In possession of alco
liolii liquor on hoard ship or at Hny naval
station, Is gidity of misconduct. There
is only one exception, tnado In the ease
of the shlp'ssurgeon who may keep a
limited supply of spirits on hand for
medical use only. Hut Admiral or Cap

keeps a stockof wines or Honors for Ills

feature appealed strongly to Hecrelary
Daniels, who believed that many young
officers could trace their downhill to
over Indulgence In punch at those sochd
functions.
At mldnlgttt tonight the naval regula
tions which have heretofore ,slowed ward
room officers to form a wine men* or
club for the purchase and use of wines,

words will be substituted:
"The use or Introduction for drink
ing purposes of alcoholic liquet* on
hoard .iny naval vessel, or within any
navy ayrd or station, Is strl'-lly prohibit
ed, and eommandlng officers whl be <ll
- responsible for the enforcement
of this order."
Since announcing this change some
time ago Hecretavy Daniel* had en
cournged expressions of opinions of his
action but the adverse comment from
many officer* who held it to he un In
fringement of their , ersonal liberties,
did not go far toward lending the seerr.

MEXICANS BALK AT
PROPOSALS OF U. S.
(Continued from Page 1.)
Washington objects to the establish
ment of a neutral provisional govern
ment which tho Mexican delegates
hail Immediately accepted. The only
answer, they say, can be that the
Washington government does not de
sire electoral liberty in Mexico.
President Wilson, they assert, has
constantly alleged th* welfare of the
Mexican people to be, the reason for
hla attitude and the delegates said
I they thought the Mexican people
should he consulted as to what they
regarded as their welfare and not have
It forced „ri them.
