Prohibition Vote in District of Columbia Faces Filibuster
In Washington the Senate tied 38 to 38 on Senator Underwood's amendment for a District of Columbia referendum on Prohibition. The measure failed, prompting a new vote, while other sessions debated women suffrage, literacy tests, and penalties for bribery. The day also covered military and foreign policy hearings and a bank robbery in Skiatook, Oklahoma.
