SENATE KILLED /
Legislators Find Their Senses
Returning TO Them.
lNQUISITlON BILL KILLED
Members Seem to be Getting
Over Prohibition Scare.
lNQUISlTl0N BILL KILLED

Topeka Kan, Feb. 15.-what has beer
commonly known as the "lnouisition bilr'
was killed in the senate yesterday. Ii
gives the county attorney power to sum-
mon witnesses before him to testify as 70
alleged violations Of law. Witnesses who
refused 10 appear or who refused to tes-
tify may be committed for contempt, The
enacting clause was struck out in COM
mittee of the whole. The motion was
made by Senator Allen but some discus
sion followed.
Senator Hurrel opposed the motion and
offered to amend the bill so that it would
apply TO liquor prosecutions. Senator
Codding said that this bill did not raise
d question Of prohibition or anti-prohibi-
ton but whether the law should be en-
forced. He said that as long as the
law was on the statute book he would
stand for it no matter what comes nor
what names he might be called.
The manner in which the law is being
violated is a disgrace to the state, Sena-
tor Simons declared He hoped that the
law would be upheld and constitution
would be indicated and said that the
way TO do that was to pass this bill. In
d brief speech Senator 8Iorehouse said
that although ne was a prohibitionist and
was always ready to uphold the law he
could not agree to this bill which he did
not believe was needed. He also thought
that many of its provisions were too
severe.
Senator Pestana argued for the boys.
a cd IN HI
boy become a. drunkard nor his daughter
become the wife of q drunkard. He
thought that the best way TO save them
was to STOP the sale. His experience on
h 9th sides OF Hquar prosecutions had
81 own that it was very difficult to en-
foi ce the law. He thought kau possible
me- ms Of aiding an outraged public in
stop ping violations should be provided
The prohibitory law had been more or
less a failure. Il am in favor of giving
every line of legislation which it is be-
lieved viii make law enforcement sure in
every county, was his closing remark.
The debate was closed by Senator
Smith, who said that enforcement OF the
liquor law was not a question of more
law, but rather Of public sentiment. This
had been demonstrated, he declared, right
here IN 1oDei1a, Where city full OF
joints Yves ira asDosed into one without
joint No new laws had been passed, no
change in the legal phase Of the situation
had been made and yet the law is now
being strictly enforced.
The enaeting clause was then stricken
out. the vote being 10 to L. This dis

mended by the State Temperance union,

Topeka, Kan. Feb 15.-Governor STAN
ley said in his message that he would
veto all local bills submitted to him after

ton it will be a waste Of time to take
any measures Of that character to his ex-
cellency after today. However, the legis-
lature will ascertain whether the gov
ernor is bluffing. There are go or more
local bills on the calendar which will be
passed after February 10. and they will
reach the governor in the usual way.
