DRY AFTER 1908
Alabama Prohibition Bill Passes Pro- viding for Abolition of Saloons
 January 1, 1908.

Montgomery, Ala, Nov.-Unprece-
 dented scenes were enacted in the Senate Chamber of the legislature of Alabama Tuesday when the statutory prohibition bill was passed. Women and children thronged the corridors and gallery and even usurped the santcity of the floor, pushing the sen ators from their seats and giving vent to their enthusiasm by shouting and cheering that re-echoed through the building. Senators who opposed the bill were hissed down when they arose to speak against the measure, and Lieutenant Governor Gray, the presid- ing officer of the Senate was forced to reprove the senators. The statu- tory bill which was passed was in the nature of a compromise between the ''antis" and the prohibitionists, the "antis'' agreeing to give up the fight provided the time was extended whiskey would be forbidden in the state of Alabama. This amendment will be sent to the house, and will be concurred in without a fight.
 Gov. Conner will approve the bill and and it is understood that movement has been started by the state w. c. T. U. to make the signing of the bill a formal occasion. The program is now being arranged.
 A feature of the compromise be- tween the .antis" and the prohibition oists was that the "antis" will not op- pose the bill to appropriate the sum of $5,000 annually to the governor to see that the bill be enforced
 The amended bill was passed 32 to 2, Senators Spragins of Madison and Hammer of DeKalb voting against it. The bill passed does not interfere with Jefferson county, in which Birm ingham is situated and other counties in which prohibition becomes effective January 1, 1908, but the local option election called in Montgomery next month is abandoned and no other local option elections will be allowed
