TWELVE O'CLOCK
BILL MAY NOT
BECOME LAW

Roeton. May 2.-T-he efforts which have
beeu made for several years In this state
20 s,,nersede the famous "semicolon' law,
NTH regulation whereby the sale OF
liouor would be allowed in hotel dining
rooms in cities OF 5000 or more inhabi-
tants until midnight. received serious
setback Yesterday afternoon.
The present legislature had passed to
enactment a measure called the mid
night" liquor bill. chiefly at the hehest
of Ro.ton business men. who desired TO
aid the local hotels. and the measure
has been before Governor Guild for some
days.
Yesterday afternoon the governor gave
out a statement intimatng that ne did
not approve OF II in It's present form. The
statement said:
''The governor has not changed his at
titude on the 10 O'Clock proposition from
the beginning of the session. He has been
in consultation with the leaders on both
sides Of this question. to whom he stated
that he anyways has believed and does
believe that a metropolis like Boston
should not be treated as a country town;
that he has always been willing. and
now hopes TO sign n bill providing for
/
law for Boston hot~t--4+e- cannot how
ever, and will not approve measure that
might result I'm a wide open Massachu-
setts."
The senate heard Of this statement and
Dan Lane introduced an order for the
recall OF the bill from the governor. ir
order to amend IL so that IL would affect
Boston only. Senator Mahoney of Chico
pee objected 10 the recall, which was
sufficient TO prevent its leaving the gov
ernor's hands, and IL Is now up to the
governor.
He has until 2:l5 this afternoon 10 act
upon Il. and there is considerable specu
lation among the politicians tonight a:
TO whether he will sign the bill. veto q
or allow ii TO become a law without hi,
action.
Representative Ames OF Easton, a prom
inent Republican i'm Bristol county, in
formed the governor today that his vac
cillatng action on the question will cos
him his (Ames) support next fall.

braced the independent operators as we'll

ents" and the Standard.

HOUSE FAvORS
GARDEN SEED
DISTRIBUTION

Washington. May 2.-By a vote OF i53
to IS the house yesterday decided to con-
tlnue the free distribution OF garden and
flower seeds.
Many OF tho items I'm the agricultural
bill broadening the scope of the bureau Of
chmistry and DR. Wiley's department
were eliminated on points OF order. par
ticularly those relating to the adultera-
-ttea- OF feed. condiments drugs and bev-
erages.
An echo OF yesterdays scenes growing
out of the failure OF the agricultural COM
mittee TO continue the appropriation for
free seed distribution was heard when Mr.
Gaines CTenn.) rose 10 question OF per-
sonal privilege He said he had been mis-
represented by a newspaper, which by
Implication charged him with unfair deal
ings with the house.
Mr.. Gaines read from the article in
question, in which he was pictured wav-
ing aloft large bundle OF letters which
he said came from constituents demand
ing seeds. but which on examination turn
cd out TO be public documents.
Mr.. Gaines asked ive minutes to make
a statement, which was granted him. He
then launched forth into n speech OF JUS
tihcaton OF his course OF yesterday, read
ing letter after letter from his constit-
uents demanding free seeds
The house by this time had become a
bedlam. The speaker worked his gavel
arm like a stone mason. but Mr. Gaines,
above the roar OF the house above the sa-
tIrical applause. was heard protesting his
square dealing and declaring that the
poor and deserving OF his district who
wanted free seeds must not be put down.
