The result was 272 votes for repeal and 144 against it The 'speaker announced that the resolution nad faljed of adoption by six votes, whereupon the Republicans Repub-licans cheered and the Democrats tat silent Representative Carl O. Bachmann of West Virginia, the Republican whip, had promised Speaker Uarner that he would deliver 100 .Republican .Repub-lican votes for the resolution, and he more than made good, with 103. But the speakercould not gather enough from his own side of the house to make up the necessary two-thirds majority. . Lined up with the opposition were 82 lame, ducks, of whom 11 were Democrats and 71 Republicans. As these men will not serve In the next congress they voted as they wished,, regardless of the sentiment of the nation as expressed ex-pressed In the November ejection. Thirteen members .of the house .did pot tote, some being absent '; c Having lost In this attempt to carry out "one campaign pledge, the Democratic' leaders at once started In' to redeem another pledge the legalization of beer.

' There was no mention In the message mes-sage of prohibition reform or farm relief, and the "only thing it said about the war debts was that the debtors' pleas for suspension of the December 15 payments had been rejected re-jected but that the Executive would recommend to congress "methods to overcome temporary exchange difficulties" In connection with such payments.

This scheme calls for a limit ed disarmament now with the appoint ment of a perma nent commission wh I c h would be charged with work ing out equality In armaments or Ger many and security for France over an Interval of several years. It was rather . to the lik ing of Great .Britain, but Germany did nqt seem Inclined to accept and France was sJJlUnsistent on secur ity first In Berlin political leaders said their country never could agree on the plan, which they said was "a plot against effective dis armament and merely postpones any decision' for three years without with-out any- guarantee than a solution of the problem can then be found. German Foreign Minister Von Neurath, reappointed , In the Von Schleicher cabinet, was present In Geneva 'and took. part In the five- power conference, and Mr., Davis was still hopeful that he could be brought Into line If the French were not too stubborn.
