The senate committee on constitu-
tional amendments has referred the
house prohibition submission bill to the
senate as it came from the house, but
with the suggestions that there be
added a tax rider increasing the direct
state tax from Il to 80 cents on the
500. and a provision for the amend
ment's going into effect in 1913 instead
of in 1911.
The question of tax rider will prob
ably be the main point discussed in
the senate i'm connection with the bill
All efforts made in the house to intro
duce such a clause into the bill were
wholly unsuccessful and it is not at all
probable that the house will accept such
rider. The members of the committee
say that prohibition would diminish the
already scant revenue of the state al
most one third. or one and a quarter
million dollars.

HUCCINS
IS DEAD

The death OF James 8. l4uggina
which occurred at O'Clock this morn
ing. was one Of the sad items oi news
following Christmas.
Yesterday afternoon Mr. Ilugeins
was up town and complained Of a
burning sensation internally and de-
sired to be taken to his home, he was
accordingly taken to his home, and Dr.
Vann was called in. He went to bed
and slept at intervals throughout the
night and was to all appearances
sleeping well to within 20 minutes Of
the time he died; in fact he simply
aroused as If from deep sleep, gasped
few times and was dead.
No man was better known in Chick
asha than Jim Huggins. For the last
seven years he had resided in this city.
and had filled various positions OF
trust, being at the time OF his death
city street commissioner. He was a
big-hearted. generous man and was
noted for his pleasant disposition, al
ways having a good word for those
whom he came in contact with. IT
had been known for some time that he
was afflicted with fatty degeneration
of the heart and accordingly had been
worried of the danger he was in.
The deceased leaves a wife and two
children, besides two sisters and four
brothers to mourn his untlmely death.
Funeral arrangements are delayed
until absent relatives can be heard
from. two Of the brothers living In
Colorado and one in Texas. He was a
member of the w. o. w. and Macca-
bees.
