MT. LuSk Discusses
 Prohibition Measure

will realize the great benefits to be de- rived from this act and will be unalter ably opposed to a return of former condi- tions.
 From a financial standpoint it will suit in a great blessing to the people, for for every gallon of spirits consumed in Alabama, the people are taxed S1 10 in the way of internal revenue to the United States government. This money abso- 1utely leaves the borders of Alabama, the state not being the home of the distilier The original cost of the grain converted into liquor and the cost of distillation and all of the profits to those handling the grain and the product of the distiller be- fore it reaches the hands of the retailer necessarily goes out of the state of Ala bama.
 AS for those who are engaged in tho retail business their usefulness to the community will be enhanced instead ot destroyed. They will be thrown into dif- ferent lines of business, whereby the same attention and diligence in the prosecu- ton of such other business with the same amount of ca pita1 they will realize as much or more profit to themselves; be Ill a cleaner and more respectable business, and removed from and elevated above the degrading and demoralizing influences of an avocation which has no other tendency than that of producing idleness, worth lessness, yiciousness, and crime.
 My experience as a lawyer and as prosecuting attorney convinces me that about 10 per cent of the criminal cases which are tried in the courts of the coun- try have their origin either directly or in- directly in the excessive use of intoxicat- ing beverages, and that as the use of these drinks are lessened, so will crime be lessened, though not entirely eradicated from society, this is a matter of impos- sibility
 "The people of Alabama who are so earnestly striving to elevate the moral and material condition of our people are deeply indebted to the noble good women of the state who have at the sacrifice of so much time and labor given their effort to securing the passage of the bill. But for the great work of the ladies the bill would not have passed. The bill finally passed was the one agreed upon by the friends of all such measures in the house and senate.

Real Estate Men Oraanize.

The real estate agents met this aft ernoon at the office of Pegram X Meade and organized for the mutual protection of themselves and the property buyers and sellers.
 This was brought about by the ac- tion of the license committee which has made a considerable increase 'n the license of real estate dealers who do not object to paying the increase provided their interests are protected It is said there are a number Of "curp = stone" agents or half commissioners who pay no license at all and 1t was for the purpose of putting this class of agents out of business or compell- ing them to take ont license that the meeting was held this afternoon. The organization will be permanent. The following officers were elected: R. R. Pegram, president; J. M. Per kins, first vice president; A. C. Ricks, secretary and Urea asurer.

Montgomery. November 20.-(Special)- J. Talking of the prohibition bill today, Senator John A. Lusk said:
 In reference to the prohibition legisla- tion, the settlement of the issue between the prohibition and the anti-prohibiton forces came about by the offer submitted by the antis to cease opposition and to vote for the measure pending before the senate on condition that the time be ex- tended from October l. 1908, to January 1, 1909. and to agree on their part that two bills introduced in the house by Speaker Carmichael also pass.
 "One of these promises $5000 a year 70 be used by the governor in the enforce ment of the prohibition law, and the other for the commencement and continu- ance of the prosecutions for the violations of the prohibition law, affidavit or com plaint without indictment by the grand jury.
 While it might have been probable that the bill could have been passed, taking effect October 1, 1908, the postponement of the operation of the act until January l. 1909 required no surrender of principle on the part of any man who was fin favor of prohibition. There was no insurmount- able reason why the day of operation of the act could not be postponed until Jan uary, 1 and by so doing many causes for friction, hard feelings, and bitterness were removed. The sale of intoxicants will necessarily and naturally grow smaller as the day approaches for the beginning of the operation of this law, and long before the 1st of January, 1909 nearly all of the business of selling liquor in the state will have naturally and neces- sarily ceased.
 "The operation of this law will not ab- solutely and without exceptions prohibit or prevent the sale or use of intoxicants. No law can ever be made and enforced aby human agents that cannot be evaded by human agency, but fair, reasonable. earnest, sincere, and consistent effort on the part of the people to uphold and en- force this law will so lessen the evil of the incorporate use of intoxicants that Tn a short time after it's operation begins the people of Alabama, in my judgment,

WENT AFTER GROOM,
 AND GETS SHOT
PinheadS Who Think It Fun to ChiriVan Young Couples
 Almost Get Justice.

ALBUQUERQUE July 3.-The fact that he had pocket note book in the breast pocket of his coat seved the life of Mason Chase, at Cimarron, N. M., Thursday night and also saved Charles Colgrove, superintendent of the Maxwell land grant company from occupying a cell under 8 murder charge.
 Thursday night a chariyari party, composed of some of the leading young men of Cimarron. started out to entertain Dr. Hoi ation Walker and bride. The doctor brought his charm ing wife to Cimarron Wednesday by automobile from Raton to avoid the reception he knew was planned for him should he arrive by train, and the friends of the doctor had no chance to get to him until last even ing. Getting wind of what was up MT. and Mrs. Walker managed to hide out until some time after midnight, when they were located at the home of MT. Colgrove in old town.
 Mason Chase was the leader of the party. and his call was answered by Colgroye in person, who demanded to know what was wanted. Chase re- marked in bantering way, that they wanted Dr. Walker; that they knew he was in the house, and that Col grove might as well give him up, for they would get him anyway.
 The conversation took place at the fence in front of Colgrove's place and in response he said -come and get him if you think you can" Taking it as a josh Chase placed his feet upon the fence as though to IeaD over. Without a word of warning Colgroye placed a gun against Chase's breast and pulled the trigger. The ball. a 3S caliber steel bullet, penetrated Mason's clothing and part way through a heavy memorandum book. This is all that saved the mans life. as at that loose range he would have been shot through and through.
 After the shooting Colsrove. who has a commission as deputy sheriff, pulled his gun on others of the party- and attempted to arrest several, with out success.
 Mason. who is also deputy. had his commission in the book which stopped the bullet and the paper has fonr good-sized holes in it. As he puts it, his commission is "all shot to h-'
 A warrant charging Colgrove with assault with attempt to kill. was sworn out Friday morning. Colerove gave bond in the sum of five hundred dollars.
 Colgrove claims that his intentions were to shoot over Chase's head, and that Mason struck the revolver, knocking it down, thereby causing the shooting.

The accident brought together large force of rescuers, the first victims being taken out during the first half hour, notwithstanding the immense weight of the wall and store furniture, which fell over into the excavation being made for the ten story building of the Second National bank.

 These pencils while slightly heavier are the same size, form and appear ance as those at present in use. ad- init of sharpening little more easily. and can be produced at a nominal figure.

Pug Wedges
Final Fight

A remarkable scene occurred recently
at Omaha, Nebraska, when .Kid -
Wedge, the champion lightweight boxer
of Arkansas, declined to take part in
a boxing contest, on the ground that
he had been converted, and that it was
wrong to fight, save in self-defence.
Wedge entered the ring in the pres
ence of 1000 people, and astounded
everybody by handing his opponent a
tract, with the wish that he would
read it carefully. The amazed boxer
seemed to regard this as a personal
insult, and he promptly smote the
Kid on the nose. Wedge then said,
We are told to turn the other cheek. -
He did Sc, and was rewarded with
terrible blow which sent him against
the ropes. IT have not been told what
to do next, - said Wedge, "but 7 guess
/ can pound you to pulp without in
terfering with my conscience - The
fight which followed was much livelier
than the one advertised Both pugilists
were badly disfgured, but the victory
was given to Wedge, who promised to
pray for his opponent. He has retired
permanently from the prize ring.

Upton Wants
a Real Yacht

LONDON. January 12.-"Give us real
yachts, not playthings," is about the
substance of an article on the great
sea sport by Sir Thomas Upton in
Yachting.
Sir Thomas is strong in his declara-
ton. that all yachts which challenge
for or defend the Americas cup should
be really seaworthy sailing craft, and
not high-strung, delicate speed toys
whose usefulness ends with the race.
Under the uniform rule adopted in
1905 it was hoped that a more whole
some type of boat would appear" says
Sir Thomas, "and the results of last
seasons racing in the United States
have entirely justified the hope. 1t is
what has been needed both here and
abroad. a good. wholesome. boat-a boat
that can not only go fast, but can give
a good account of herself in heavy
weather; a boat that can cross the
ocean with no fears that it will sue
cumb to wind and waves on the way
over.
.'AS I conceive. that clause in the
rule regulating contests for the Amer
challenging yacht to cross the ocean
under sail simply to insure a good,
wholesome racer, and not a craft whose
usefulness would be ended the minute
the international event was over. |
confess that in bringing my three
Shamrocks to this side did so not with
out misgivings that they would survive
the passage. misgivings not solely in
spired by the fear of the loss of the
Yachts themselves as of the lives of the
devoted men who crossed in them
There is yet another point, and ]
think a strong one. What really is
the use of racing with boats built under
the old rule? True, there is the event
in itself, and an exciting race. but lit
tie else There is nothing learned; the
educational side of the race is neglected
absolutely. Designers grasp little or
nothing that is new in contemplating
the models of these racing machines,
but in yachts built for the Americas
cup contest under the uniform rule
there would be much learned.
1--WE would see, for one thing, If the
rule as it stands produces an ideal
racer or whether more changes are
needed, and by the same token design
ers could go on from these boats and
design still more satisfactorily the boat
qualified 10 stand rough weather and
vet at the same time break records. A
record breaking boat is possible under
the uniform rule. as the races Of the
Queen and Effort testify.
ST am satisfied the trend of Ameri-
can yachting will be toward the pro-
ductiun of this sort of boat"

Athletics in
Great Britain

CAMBRIDGE, Mass, January 12.-In
writing about the wide participation in
athletics in Great Britain, Charles G.
Fall has the following to say in the
Harvard Bulletin:
Across the water in the English uni
versities 5000 men in each of them go
to their sports every afternoon as reg
ularly as they go to their lectures
every morning. These sports are and
have been, ever since the men were
boys at school, part of their curri-
culum, and not once a week or once a
month, but once a day, from October
to June. At 2 o'clock You see them
pouring out at their college gates, and
at o'clock or Whereabouts you see
them hurrying back. Three hundred or
so of them row; 800 more of them play
Rugby; 450 play Association football;
200 perhaps, play hockey, and the rest
have other recreations, track athletics,
lacrosse, cross-eountry riding, motor
ing and SO forth. This for the winter
months, but when the spring comes on
apace the sports change somewhat.
Three hundred row-not the same 800
always; 400 or 500 play cricket, hum
dreds play tennis, and the rest go
punting on the river, ride out into the
country, or do something else for a
couple of hours.
This is the English system 1t is an
old one. 1t has taken century, no
doubt. to develop it. The boy begins
in his school days under the eyes of a
master who was athletic in his day
and the eyes of his older schoolmates.
He does this for pleasure, but if he
finds no fun in it he does it because
he must. He will be punished if he
doesn't either by the scorn of his fell
lows or the kicks of the upper class
men. He has his sport for five or six
years until he loves it and until he
reaches the university. 1t has then be-
come habitua1.
1.-The result of this he is always hav-
ing or preparing for a game Or a tus-
sic of some sort, and he never has an
attack of nerves when the tussle is
going on Or after it is finished. Some
of the Cambridge crew who rowed
against Harvard this year had rowed
in thirty and more races. And the
undergraduate who gets no further
than the .torpids' while in college has
rowed in at least twenty races-rnore
miles, more hours and in more races
than any man in the Harvard varsity
usually rows.
