NOW READY FOR WORK,
THE SOLONS ARE BUSY
All Committees are Ap=
pointed
AND BUSINESS IS ON IN EARNEST
Perfect Flood of Reform Bills and
Other Measures Will Keep they
legislature Busy Until
Far Into August.

A lanta, July 9.-With the appoint
ment of committees in house and SEN
ate, the lawmakers got down to real
work. That they will have their
hands full may lie taken for granted
when one takes into mind the bar
rel of bills that they have before
them.
During the first week of the legisla
tive body there was regular avalache
of bills, and it is these the various
committees will have to pass on be-
tween now and the end OF the session,
which will adjourn about August
fifteenth.
1t means work and lots of it for the
committees, and the indications are
more general bills will be introduced
as the session progresses.
The first week of the lawmakers will
go down in history as reform week,
from the fact that the house was COM
pletely swamped with bills OF reform,
bills looking forward to prohibition
legislation, automobile legislation,
cigarette legislation, child labor and
anti-pass measures.
During the first three days of the
session, two prohibition bills were in
troduced in the house and one in the
senate. Bill number one, in the
senate, introduced on the opening day,
is the Hardman measure, providing for
total prohibition after January first
next, without the referendum.
In the house, total prohibition bills
have been introduced by Representa-
tive Farr of Banks and another by
Messrs. Neel of Barlow and Covlngton
of Colquitt.
To be exact ten measurers seek to
place restrictions around the sale,
manufacture and shipment of intoxi-
eating beverages. Mr.. COvington is
directly responsible for four of these.
Friends of prohibition look for some
action to be taken by the lawmakers
in the next few days, and the outcome
of this one question is watched with
more interest just now than any other
measure.

Verdict for DR.. Pierce

Sending truth after lie. 1t IS an old
maxim that "a lie will travel seven

on, and no doubt hundreds of thousands
of good people read the unwarranted and
malicious attack upon DIR. Il. V. Pierce
and his "Favorite Prescription published
in the May $500 number of the Ladies'

woman's weaknesses and ailments, con-
tanned alcohol and other harmful ingredi-
-ents. DIR. Pierce promptly brought suit
against the publishers Of the Ladies
Home Journal, for S200,000C0 damages.
DR.. Pierce alleged that Mr.. Box, the
editor, maliciously published the article
containing such false and defamatory
matter witg the intent Of injuring his
Observation-Disclosures that no alcohol, or
other Injurious, or hablt-forming, drugs

These facts were also proven in the trlal OF

the publication of the libelous article wltili
its great display headings. while hunureos u ol

Pushins Work on peienses.

Altogether, Notwithstanding the total
absence of any appearance of furry or
anxiety among the few officials who
remain in Washington, it is patent
that much useful work is being done
in quiet way to put not only the
navy but the army coast defenses in as
good condition as the appropriations
made by Congress will permit.
The question of keeping on hand an
adequate supply of coal to meet the
peeds of the battle ships of the Atlantic
fleet that are to be sent to the Pacific
coast is one that the Bureau of Equip
ment will have to settle. Under ordi-
nary conditions the bureau has no
difficulty in meeting all demands made
upon it by the ships of the Pacific fleet,
but to supply sixteen large battle ships
and several cruisers in addition pre-
sents a new problem that will have to
be met.
Supplies of coal at San Francisco
were Iessened considerably during the
past winter by the demand u. the
Navy Department incident to the coal
famine on the coast, the Bureau of
Equipment parting with a large
amount it had on hand at cost price to
public institutions and to vessels
carrying United States mails across the
Pacific. There also were some public
demands for coal at the Puget Sound
station which the government supplied.

Little Coal on the WAY,

When the present season opened con-
tracts were let for furnishing and trans
porting to the coast 60, 900 tons of coal,
half of which was intended for Puget
Sound and half for the Mare Island
Navy Yard, at San Francisco. Very
little of this is on its way to the coast.
The department was badly handicapped
by the requirement of law, which COM
pels the shipment of coal in American
bottoms when available. There were
not enough American vessels to be had,
and, taking advantage of provision
of the Revised Statutes, Secretary Met
calf was compelled to resort to the Use
of foreign bottoms for its shipment.
Accordingly, contracts were let and a
small portion of the coal is now on its
way to the coast.
The shipments are made by way OF
the Straits of Magellan and five or six
months are required to get the fuel to
its destination. The few ships pro-
PEELED by steam make the trip, how
ever, in much quicker time. There
will be a considerable delay, therefore
before the department has any material
supply Of coal on hand on the Pacific
Coast, if shipment by wateris relied OF
entirely. In an emergency the rail
roads will be called on and the fuel car
be landed on the coast in less than two
weeks time.
