LEGISLATORS RIOT
OVER PROHIBITION
Missouri SOlons Come to Blows
When Democrats Seek to
Leave House

JEFFERSON CITY, No, April g.
The proposed constitutional amend
ment establishing statewide prohibi-
tion was today made a special order
for April 5 by the house of representa-
tives of the Missouri legislature.
The committee on constitutional
amendments reported the measure to-
day without recommendation. The
Democrats tried to force its immediate
consideration but by a strict party
vote the Republicans defeated this ef-
fort. 1t is said that the measure will
pass both branches of the general as
sembly.
There was a small size riot in the
house before the final vote was taken.
The Democrats complained that no op-
portunity had been given to present
a minority report on the proposed
amendment and left their seats.
Immediately there was a rush for
the door, the Republicans seeking to
block the exits. u. G. Crandell. Re-
publican, and III. L. Johnson, Democrat
came to blows. but were quickly sep
arated Most of the Democrats left
the hall but later returned.

TELEGRAPHERS PUZZLED
OVER CHARGE FOR WORD
British Operators Differ as to
Significance of Hyphen

The telegraphists' rules for the Eng
lish language are proverbially so Gu
rious as to be past all understanding.
For years 1t was the rule. and perhaps
it still Is so. that the expression
"mother-in-law- counted as three
words. while a 'fether-in-law" was
telegraphed for one; and many other
contradictions were noted by interested
and, at times, exasperated observers.
A correspondent now informs us that
the word weekend" which he had
occasion to use in recent telegram,
caused acute controversy in post
office. One clerk was sure that IT was
two words: another was equally certain
that it should be charged as one. The
impatient sender of the telegram sug-
gested that they should toss for it, as
his message meanwhile was being de-
layed; but so easy a way out of the
difficulty was rejected with fitting
scorn In these matters. at least, the
postoffice is regulated by principle and
not by chance-although it is very
often a matter of pure chance how long
a telegram takes in reaching its des-
tination--and as compromise was i'm
possible, the chief clerks verdict was
accepted. and the word weekend" was
officially admitted to be one and indi-
visible. But the clerk, like the wise
Judge in the anecdote, would give no
reason for his ruling.--London Globe.
