DRY BILL GOES TO THE PRESIDENT FOR APPROVAL.

The prohibition enforcement bill was signed Wednesday by Vice-Pres-ident Marshall and Speaker Gillett for immediate transmission to President Wilson. The president will have ten days from the time it reaches the white house to sign it. Should he fail to act within that time it automatically would- become a law without his signature. Announcement has been made at the white house that -the bill would be referred to Attorney General Palmer for an opinion as to its constitutionality before any executive action was taken.
