Senator Sheppard aims nation wide prohibition amending DC bill
Senator Sheppard of Texas plans an amendment to the District appropriation bill to forever ban liquor manufacture or sale in the District of Columbia. He will press the measure when opportunity arises, led by anti saloon forces seeking to gain a vote. Rule questions loom over whether such a rider is allowed on an appropriation bill and the Senate may bypass a direct vote by ruling the amendment not germane.

London Money Rates Lower in Week of Debilitation
London money markets showed little change with rates easing on short bills. Four day, three month, four month, and six month bills slipped to 2 and 2 percent levels as deposits at the Bank of England rose to 193.3 million pounds. Exchange moved in London's favor except Madrid and New York, and the fall in rates dampened expectations for gold exports to America. The government said balancing schemes between the two nations are no longer considered necessary.
