PROHIBITION BILL PASSED OVER VETO
 OF THE GOVERNOR

Nashville, Tenn, Jan. 21.-Over the veto of Governor Patterson, both houses of the Legislature yesterday passed Senate bill No. 1, which pro- hibits the sale of intoxicating liquors in Tennessee within four miles of a schoolhouse. The law is effective on July 1, 1909. The vote in the Senate stood 20 to 13, the same as on original passage. The House vote was 61 to 36 The original House vote was 62 to 37 In each house the passage was effected by a combination of Repub- licans and Democrats.
 The action of the Legislature brings to a close one of the bitterest political fights in the history of Tennessee. Statewide prohibition was the main isssue in the recent contest between Governor Patterson and the late E. w. Carmack for the Democra . gu- bernato orial nomination. Governor Pat terson, who advocated local option, which already largely prevails, won the nomination. but the Legislature elected last November at the same time he was chosen, was against him. This came about, however, by the aid of Republicans who gave the bill twen- ty-two votes in the House and five in the Senate

CATARRH CURED No Cure, No Pay, Is a Most
 Generous Offer

To get an antiseptic strong enough to kill catarrh germs and not destroy the tissues of the membrane at the samet time, has been a problem which was never solved until the discovery of Hyomei (pronounced High-o-me).
 Hyomei is prepared from eucalyptus, the most powerful yet healing antisep- tic known. Breathe it through the in- haler over the inflamed and germ-rid- den membrane four or five times a day, and in a few days the germs will disappear.
 The inflamed condition will go, too, and the snuffing, hawking and offen- sive breath, and the discharge of mu- cous and crusts in the nose will cease.
 They why should any catarrh suf- ferer hesitate, when all leading drug gists have such faith in Hyomei that they offer to return your money if after a fair trial Hyomei does not cure catarrh.
 A complete Hyomei outfit, including the inhaler, costs $1.00 and extra bot tles if afterwards needed, cost but 30 cents. Hyomei also cures asthma, croup. sore throat, coughs, colds or grip.

Republicans Finally Woke Up in Time
 and the Rest Was Easy
(Hartford Courant.)


 Hartford, Jan. 21-The Democratic minority caught the Republicans of the House not mapping, but sound asleep, yesterday for Mr. Bush of Orange, the ranking member of the Judiciary committee, offered a resolu- tton appointing John w. Schumacher of Ansonia a county commissioner for New Haven county to fill an unexpir- ed term. The rules were suspended and the resolution passed, a motion by MT. Hayes of Waterbury to table be- ing lost. A second one was then of fered appointing the same man for a full term and was about to be put to vote when MT. Bishop of New Haven asked to have the resolution read MT. Bishop after the reading said that the Republican members from the county had named George w. Miller of Meri- den for the unexpired term and John Wilkinson of Orange for the full term MT. Schumacher, he said was, a Dem ocrat. By this time the Republicans were awake and amid laughter MT Bush said that he had offered the resolution without looking at the name upon it. MT. Culver of Seymour nov ed that the House reconsider it's vote appointing MT. Schumacher, which it did, and rejected the resolution Res olutions were then offered by MT. Hayes of Waterbury appointing Geo. w. Miller for the unexpired term and John W. Wilkinson for the full term and these were passed and transmit ted. MT. Reidy of Naugatuck asked that the Schumacher resolutions might be sent to the Senate also but this the House declined to do.

Bruaes.

What is the right pronunciation of this word7 It is usually pronounced by English people as if it were French. with soft, sibilant 6. and in ono syl- lable. Is there any justification for this? In the first place, why is 1t not Anglicized, like Waterioof And if not English, why French? Why not Elem ish? In Bruges itself you do not hear the French pronunciation. It is the Flemish-Bru-ya. Ask at the station if this is Bruges Ia la FrancaiseS, and, they will hardly understand you They will say, "It is Bru-ya." In Longfei- lows "Carillon," and also in ''The Bel fry of Bruges," the word has two syl- fables.

Where Chess Is Most Popular.

Games may come and games may go. but chess bids fair never to loss it's popularity. Nowhere else ts 1t so popu. lar as it is in the village of Etrobeck, near Halberstadt, fin Prussian Saxony. Some time in the eleventh century Count Gunnelin, held prisoner in a stone tower in the village, amused himself by carving a Ret of chessmen and teaching the gaEe to his jaiiers. The tower, which still stands, Is known as the Chess tower. The jailers taught the game to their friends, who were Sd pleased with, it that they devoted all their spare time to practica. This de- light in chess continues to the present in Strobeck. Every person plays. The village hotel is called the Chess inn, tournaments are held every year, and prizes are given to the best players. If a young man goes to an adjoining vil- lage for wife who cannot play chess he must pay line, to be used toward the expenses of the next tournament. This subtle ordinance has spread a knowledge of the game among the young ladies of all the surrounding vil-i lages. .sSTsf i-

JAPANESE ARE
 GRAVE MENACE So Says Ex-Mayor Phelan of San Francisco in
 Interview.
But He Supports President in His Plea for Delay in Legis- lation by California-Time Will Come When Action Must be Taken.
Special from United Press.)

(SpOC12I ITOlIf O1lllcO IIcSSD
 Discussing the Japanese situation to- day Ex-Mayor Phelan of San Francis co who is here in the interests of leg islation affecting that city, said:
 "We requested the President last summer to keep the fleet in the Pacific and he replied that the program all ready advanced would be carried out. This left our coast unpatrolled and if the Japanese wanted to they could descend upon our shores and do us great injury before we could reta11ate.
 ~'Remember they struck at Russia when it was least expected. They attacked Port Arthur while the Rus sians were at dinner. They would do the same thing with us. If such a thing happened we should have thousands of our enemies right in our midst. President Roosevelt is right in his contention that the California leg islature should halt in it's proceeding to enact anti-Japanese legislation at this time; the President probably knows more than he has let the pub lie know about the Japanese question and for the time at least, Claiborne a should entrust the situation to the chief executive of the nation.
 While I agree with the president that it is the best to wait, l am forced to say that the tune Will come when California will have to take action. It is question whether California shall be a white mans country or whether it shall belong to the Japanese. They are driving the white man to the wall and the latter has begun to fight. Shall we maintain our standard or shall we lower ourselves to the level of the Japanese?
 'I have faith in our President. l believe that whe he says an amicable agreement has been reached between Japan and this country whereby inn migration will be restricted, that he has good grounds for his statement and I think the state legislature should give him ample time to carry out his policy. But I also know that the Japanese are clever and dangerous because they are clever; that they are progressing beyond all bounds in the State of California and as have said, are a grave menace.
 'NThere is no hope that they will ever become American citizens at heart. They do not blend with our people and they remain foreign. They spend a few years in America but will go back to Japan upon the slightest hint from the home government. They lower the standard of our life, supporting neither church nor school, nor family, in the American sense"
