Congress Forecasts Prohibition Defeat in House Vote
A congressional poll predicts the national prohibition amendment and the Mondell woman suffrage amendment will fail to reach the two thirds needed in the House this month. The middle West is seen as strongly against prohibition while the South leans pro, and the West remains divided. Virginia votes solidly for prohibition and against woman suffrage. Twenty-seven people were rescued from the steamer Isle of Mona near Hatters Inlet. A Baltimore turfman, Al Herford, pleaded guilty to bookmaking but received suspended sentence.
