PROHIBITION LOSES.
Heavy Majority Against 1t in the Ala
bama Election.

BIRMINGHAM, Ala, Nov. 30.-All in
dications point to a majority of be-
tween $4,000 and 10000 in Alabama
against the prohibition constitutional
amendment. Chairman ]. Lee Long,
in charge of the fight against the
amendment, claims a majority of 90
600 against the amendment. The ear
ly returns indicated landslide
against the amendment and succeed
ing bulletins fully bore out the early
indications.
Jefferson county. IN which is Biz
mingham, the largest city in the
state, despite the fact that the fight
was concentrated here. gave ma
jority of over 1000 against the
amendment. Mobile, Montgomery
and Cullman counties show the larg-
est majority on the victorious side. It
appears the amendment has carried
but three counties-Talladega Macon
and Sumter-with Lee in doubt.
The election can not be regarded as
a straight anti-prohibition victory be-
cause of the personal politics inject
ed into the issue. It's association with
the administration of Gov. B. b.
Conner and his reported ability to
name a successor to the governorship
in Judge S. D. Weakley, author of the
prohibition bills, have. figured promi-
nently in the result.
significant feature is the fact
that sentiment against the amendment
is so widespread. Rural precincts,
small towns and cities alike. for the
most part, returned substantial ma
jorities on the winning side.
A fact of special interest in the
election is that it was the first time in
the states history that an expression
of the whole electorate had been Sc
cured on a prohibition question. The
statewide prohibition bill was passed
by legislature which had been elect
ed on a local option platform, and
while several counties had declared
for prohibition under the local option
act, the voters of the entire state had
never before been called upon to pass
on thu question direct.

Iowa Wants to Meet Teams That They
Can Beat.

Iowa City, Ia. Nov. 30.-With the
close of the present gridiron season
the attention of the athletic authorities
IS directed toward the formation of
next years football schedule. Last
season many believed that the start
was made too late, and for that reason
the Hawkeyes faced a most aggravat-
ing schedule this year.
The outline which the board will
try to follow probably is Grinnell,
Drake, Ames, Purdue, Nebraska,
northwestern and either Illinois or
Wisconsin, in the order named. That
Iowa will meet Drake, Ames and Ne
braska is practically assured, and it
IS exceedingly probable that North
western and Purdue will be added to
the list.
1t is probable that Missouri, Cornell
end Kansas will be dropped from the
Iowa list, owing to the ever increas-
Ing demand from the Iowa students
that the team play against conference
teams.

through the lungs with sufficient
rapidity. Then the lungs do not
absorb the proper amount of
oxygen, although they may be
taking in a normal amount of

breath, smothering spells, diff
