Prohibition in Alabama.

Montgomery, Ala. - Unprecedented
scenes were enacted in the senate
chamber of the historical capitol OF
Alabama Tuesday when the statutory
prohibition bill was passed. Women
and children thronged the corridors
and galleries and even invaded the
sanctity of the floor itself. pushing the
senators from their seats and giving
vent to their enthusiasm by shouts
and cheers that echoed and re-echoed
through the building. Senators who
opposed the bill were Kissed down
yhen they arose to speak against
the measure.
The statutory prohibition bill which
was passed Tuesday was in the ma
ture of compromise between the
ants and the prohibitionists. The
ants, seeing the handwriting on the
wall, agreed to give up the fight pro
vided the time was extended until Jan
uary /, 1909, when the sale of whisky
will be forbidden in the state of Ala
bama. This amendment will be sent
to the house and will be concurred in
without fight.
Governor Conner will approve the
bill. and it is understood that move
ment has already been started by the
state w. C. r. u to make the signing
of the bill a notable occasion.
Two carloads of Mobile women
came to this city to lobby against the
house prohibition bill, but found that
delegations who favor that measure
had filled the senate galleries until not
seat was left. 1t was plan to
crowd them out and it succeeded. Lit
tie children stood in the Hobbies and
pinned ribbons on everyone who came
in. The scene was one of the most
spectacular in the history of the site.
Children were kept out Of school all
day to work against liquor.
