PROHIBITION FOR GEORGIA
HOUSE PASSES THE SENATE
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. BILL.
Amendments Permit Sale of Alcohol
With Restrictions-Gov. Smiths
Signature Is Pledged. ...[

Atlanta, Ca, July 31.-The Hard.
man-Covington prohibition bill, passed
by the Georgia senate some days ago,
was adopted by the house Tuesday
evening by vote of 139 to 80. Two
amendments added to the bill by the
house will necessitate its going back
to the senate for concurrence, OF
which there is no doubt, and the bill
then will go to Gov. Hoke Smith for
his signature, which has been prac.
ticauy pledged, and prohibition will
become a law in Georgia.
The amendments permit the sale OF
pure alcohol by retail druggists on the
prescription of reputable physician
and also allow wholesale druggists to
carry pure alcohol in stock for sale
to retailers only.
The bill prohibits the manufacture
or keeping on hand in any place OF
business the sale or giving away to
induce business within the state of
any liquor that may produce intox.
ication. The new law is to become
effective January 1, 1908.
After the first fight on the bill last
week, in which the opponents of the
bill showed their ability to keep the
act from its third reading, an agree
ment was reached making the bill a
special order for Tuesday with the
provision that vote should be taken
at four o'clock. This program was
carried out. Twenty-one amendments
were offered. Only two were allowed
and both Of these were introduced by
the prohibitionists. The anti-prohibi
tionists made their hardest fight to
secure the adoption of an amendment
to postpone until January, 1909, the
date when the bill should become ef
fective. This was lost 1913 to 40.

Syracuse, N. Y, July 31.-The stone

Of this city, where it passes over

afternoon and four canal boats were
drawn into the bed of the creek be-
meath, so feet of the wall of the three
story Empire Touring mill fell into
the water, and the Bartels and Green
way breweries. respectively on the
north and south banks Of the canal,
were threatened with demolition.
The driver Of the canal boat Peter
J. Rolter, Of Black River. noticed that
the boat was moving too rapidly and
hurriedly moored 1t to the canal bank.
The rope snapped like 30 much
thread, carrying away part Of the
wall upon which the Touring mill
stands.
Marrow Escapes from Boats.
Fred Race, the owner of the boat.
brought his wife and daughter on
deck and when the boat neared safe
section of the wall, all jumped to-
shore. Henry Race, so years old,
father of the owner, was standing in
the stern of the boat. Employees of
the Standard Milling company
reached out to seize him as the boat
approached the vortex. The boat
swung toward the wall and they
grabbed him as it took its downward
plunge.
The Goodelle was tied up at the gas
plant to crane. 1t pulled the crane
over and severed a steel anchorage
cable. A foreman in the gas plant
caught two women and child as
they jumped to the bank, and the
boat was drawn into the break, fol-
lowed by the Major J. J. Bailey,
owned by f. Davenport. Two boats
owned by Frank q. Fout. Of New
York, loaded with coal were swept In
to the vortex: Mr.. Fout's wife and
four children were saved by deck

Arches Over Creek Gave Way.
The canal level at this point is i've
miles in length and Division Superin-
tendent Thomas Wheeler Immediate
ly ordered the water drawn on. He
said that the break was caused by
the arches of the aqueduct over
onondaga creek giving way When
the level is emptied the danger of
flood in the creek section north Of
Onondaga lake will pass, and the
backed-up waters of the creek will
flow uninterruptedly by the boats.
All canal trafflc is tied up and it
will be several days at least before
the damage can be repaired. The
boats and cargoes are total losses.

contract, set the date for the wedding
ceremony, appear at the set time for
the marriage, find the soon-to be
