Afternoon Session.
When tho Senate reconvened there
were ,nany.tv!sitors In tho e amber, but
the gallery was not ovtr,floweed.@ Mr..
BRYANT arose to question Of personal
privilege, and aaid that In tho morning,
In what he Ind said to Judge Mann, he
ala not mean, In any way, shape or form
to reflect upon Judge Manns honesty and
Integrity. Ho thought tho Judge had
been unfair In not permitting himself TO-
be Interrupted, as other Senators do
during debate, BY questions for tho
purpose Of gaining information Ho
stated that he thought Judge Mann was
unfair in this that no would not permit
himself to BIO intorrosated during his
speech, but that ne did not Intend to ro-
fleet upon tho Nottowayj sena tor,
X Judge Mann gotBup, and, with tears In
his Dyes. stated that no mar, regretted
moro than he tho incident In tho earlier
part Of the day. He wns taken BY sur
prise, and might have acted hastily.
Z He berRed the pardon OF Mr.. bryant for
striking him ana the two Senators shook
hands, while the Senators and spectators
checred and applauded,
Tho first afternoon fight occurred over
an. amendment offered by Mr.. Barksdalc,
which Is as followH:
/. ANY person. firm. company or cor.
porat!on, partnership or association
desiring to obtain a license as n man :.
ufacturer or distillert Of alcoholic
liquors, shall make application In tho
Same manner and form as 70 pre-
scribed for applicants to solls!iqtlor by
retail under the provisions of this
act and tho court considering such
application shall be governed by the
same provisions and limitations pre-
sorlbed In the case Of applicants to
sell liquor by retail under the provi- I
eions thereof -,
Mr.. Barksdale commended that, If the
Senate wanted absolute prohibition. 1t
should ego the whole hos and sit down
UPON UPON the distllleries as we'll as upon the
retail dealers.
Mr., shackelford thought this amend
ment would be In conflict with the stat
utes OF the United States, and that 1t
would operate to the injury OF a large class
Of people engaged in legitimate bust
ness.
Mr.. Bruce supported the Barksdale
amendment. He knew of the evil designed
to be corrected, and thought this wise
move on Mr.. Barksdale's part.
BRANDY DIsTuLERIEs. y.
Mr., Lupton did not think the amendment
went to the point OF controlling. and reg
ulating the brandy dlstilleries. lie do
ciared that illegal brandy dlstilleries
| worked INJURY to the whole people. lis
did not want to do anything to work in
| Jury to the legalized distilleries, but he
was after tho Illegal ones. and would
support a separate bill to accomplish this
purpose. The Senator from Frederick did
not think the Barksdale amendment at
all practical.
/ The Barksdnle amendment was lost by
a vote of ayes 10, to 10 noes.
Mr., Barksdale offered other amend
ments as to distilleres, which were de-
| feated.
