AGAINST PROHIBITION.
A Georgia Bishop breaches a Sermon
Along That Line

Atlanta Ga, Nov. 20--A measure
known as the Willingham bill, having
for its purpose the establishment OF
prohibition in the state Of Georgia. has
been made a special order for the lower
house Of the legislature on Tuesday
Yesterday Bishop C K Nelson OF the
Episcopal diocese of Georgia. delivered
q sermon at the cathedral in which he
declared himself opposed 10 prohibit
ton He said last night that the
sermon had no reference to the Viii
Ifngham bill and that the reason he
spoke on the subject was because the
church authorities had set apart yes
terday as a time for universal discus
sion Of this topic Bishop Nelson in
his sermon said he was opposed to pro-
hibition because it fnterfered with the
CzOd-given right of personal liberty He
declared that from his observation he
had come to the conclusion that pro-
hibition laws were ineffective wherever
they had been tried He spoke of the
state of Maine whose citizens he said
had found that there was more inten-
perance under rigid prohibition laws
than under q local option system. He
asserted that there is more intemper-
ance in eating in Georgia than there is
in whisky drinking. The bishop ex-
planned that he did not approve of in
temperance but declared that prohibi-
tiOu did little If anything to remove the
vice.

FULTON. MO-. April 16-(Special) As
no sessions of the See investigating COM
mittee were held to-day. DR.. Coombs took
advantage of an opportunity to conduct
the members through the asylum for the
purpose of allowing them to inspect it..
The entire morning was spent in the institu-
tion and many details of the treatment
and care of the insane were explained
DIR. Coombs marShaled all his forces and
used every influence that could be brought
to bear on the members of the committee
to induce them to be lenient with him. A
large party of Governor Stephens friends,
among them Adjutant General Bell and
Paul Moore. talked earnestly with legis-
lators this morning and did everything
possible to make a favorable impression
After the committee was conducted through
the asylum. the members were asked 10
dine. at the deaf and dumb asylum, which
Is also under the control of the governor,

FUSED to accept the invitation, as they es-
pressed the opinion that such oyertures
on the part of the defense were uncalled
for.
The only surprising feature of the dnv
was the receipt of a telegram from Mrs.
Williams. asking to be allowed to testify
In DR.. Coombs' behalf. Mrs. Williams
