Temperance Committee Of Legisla.
ture Votes Drastic Measure.

Atlanta, July 31.-Instead Of fol-
lowing in the wake of Alabama and
Texas, which recently have discarded
prohibition for local option, the
house committee on temperance in
the Georgia legislature to-day voted
to recommend a bill that is intended
to restrict the present wide sale Of
"near beer" The vote was 20 to 10.
The measure was introduced by Rep
resentative Tippens and is remarked
as the most drastic bill yet prepared
as an adjunct to the prohibition law.
1t makes it unlawful to sell or keep
or handle for the purpose of sale any
beverage or any liquid capable OF be-
ing drunk as a beverage that con-
tains more than one-half one per
cent. of alcohol.
One amendment excepting legiti-
mate medicines used legitimately was
voted down and another barring all
drinks that contain any alcohol was
killed. A substitute authorizing IL
censed beer saloons and package
houses" also was voted down.

San Francisco, Aug. 2.-Unable,
she said, to make a man" of her
husband, Anna Langley, frail wo-

killed him. They had been married
Is months.
Early to-day James Langley left

bystanders he turned on her with a
torrent of abuse. Without a word
the wife fired four shots. One struck
Langley and he died on the way to a
hospital. Mrs. Langley was arrested.
"I don't see why I should be de-
tained," she said at the city prison.
81 did nothing wrong and I am not
sorry. Since our marriage I have
supported my husband and myself
by working as a stenographer. I
tried to make him stay away from
saloons. I tried to instill some am
bition into him for the firemen's
civil service examination. He would
not try. I could endure no more"

Didn't Have to Wait.

A very wealthy retired business
man has a big country place up in
the New Hampshire hills upon which
he enjoys spending large part OF

Recently he decided to build a
stone wall around his place. There
was no particular point to having
the wall, which was fine affair of
cut stone, except the fun which 1t

to build it. The contractor who
built the wall was an Irfshman. One
day when the wall was nearly done
Mr.. Smith and the contractor were
inspecting it.
"I suppose, Pat" said MIR. Smith,
that so years from now people will
come along here and look at this
wall and say, There was man that

Mexican Mob Repulsed.

Ell Orc, State of Mexico, July 81
Repelling a mob of miners who at
tempted to release the prisoners in
the local jail, troops fired upon the
men to-day, killing nine and wound
ing 80. The strikers were from La
Esperanza mine. This afternoon the
men in the Mexico mine, an adjoin-
ing property, walked out and it is
expected by the management of the
Ell Orc mine that strike will be de-
clared there tomorrow morning.
Fearing that they might be victims
of an anti-American demonstration,
many of the American women were
sent out of the camp on a special
train. More than 1000 men, repre-
senting the underground forces OF
the Mexico and La Esperanza, are
out, and if these men are Joined by
those in the Ell Orc the number OF
strikers will number approximately
1000. The men demand higher
wages, but unoficially it was stated
tonight that the properties would be
closed down before increases would
be granted.
A detachment Of 100 troops was
sent from Ell Orc this afternoon, and

Early in the day. the trouble which
resulted in the shooting of nine men
began. Rurales he'd arrested all OF
the strikers, and the idle men learn
ing Of this determined to set them
free. Arming themselves with moth
ing better than chucks ofgold-bearine
ore, they started up the one street
of the town toward the Jail. The
mob moved on the Jail, throwing
stones as they went at such buildings
as offended their sight, and by the
time the little prison was reached
the rurales found control could be sc.
cured only by the use Of drastic
measures. The mob was ordered to
disperse. They shouted their def.
ance. The rurales began firing, but
numerous shots were required to
scatter the rioters. Before the mob
had been dispersed, however, it had
succeeded in freeing the prisoners.

MAN WHO TRIMMED

John w. Gates Has Had an Eventful Career and
Was King Gambler.-Won and

lionaire gamblers played he had lost
everything he possessed. This was
before the panic and the Wall street
clean up of the "Betcher-a-Million"
Gates.
But he always came back and there
were big winnings. One of these
was on the English race track, where
he backed a 25-to-1 shot and cleaned
up the better part of million on the
race. He is also reputed to have
made big winnings at poker as we'll
as at the races, although he made big
losings with the cards. One of his
unlucky streaks caught him in Sara
toga, when he dropped money at the
rate of 500 minute, with total
loss of $4,000. It is said that the
next day no one would have guessed
that he had been hit so hard at the
national card game.
Four years ago Gates and his son,
Charlie, went to Texas, and there
the father became Farmer" Gates.
He made his Texas properties pay
and started an oil company which
did, a whooping big business and
which the Oil Trust did not seem able
to break. When he was ready to
take his tour abroad this year he had
millions to spend and risk and all
seemed we'll in the world for the
farmer"
Just prior to sailing he was called
before the Stanley committee of con-
gress and questioned as to the form
ing of the Steel Trust. His testi-
mony was highly entertaining, for
he told of an all-night meeting at
the home of J. Pierpont Morgan and
the decision to make and control the
trust. He told how Andrew Car
negie had started in to fuss with the
railroad situation and how he was
feared by the Morgan group. {.

certain and disturbing quantity in the
steel situation. He said that the
Laird of Skibo got $320,000,000 for
his steel holdings, although he had
agreed year before to sell them
for half that sum.
When asked how he formulated
his opinions of the giant industrial
and financial situations in the United
States, he replied:
81 get my opinions from hard
knocks
Mr.. Gates was then far from
well man, but he stuck it out on the
stand and told all that he knew In
breezy and decisive manner.
Farmer" Gates was taken Ill as
soon as he got to Paris; and his son,
Charles, rushed to his side. Conflict
ing reports were given out, and finally
it became known that the game OF
life and death was being played by
the great speculator. The crisis came
and it seemed that the cards had
been dealt by fate so that John w.
Gates would have to pass in his
checks for good and all.

Society

NEW YORK. Jan. 1O.--The New York
Society of Medical Jurisprudence is MAX
ing study of the divorce laws in this
country. 1t is likely that their recommen-
dations will be for amendments making
divorce easier and marriage more diff
cult, If report submitted to them
by Judge Alfred A. ommen is adopted.
The report characterizes the present
marriage law of New York state as a
disgrace to civilization Sin that it quite
fails to specify any restriction as to the
physical, mental and moral state of the
parties to the marriage contract. with
the result that the prisons. sanitariums
and asylums are crowded with living
examples of the pernicious workings OF
the law" The report continues:
THE proper way to mitigate the evils
of divorce is to mitigate the evils OF
our marriage laws. Under proper mar

SOUTH CAROLINA CITIES
AT WAR OVER CENSU!

AUGUSTA, Ca, Jan 1o.-An amusing
comparison of the sentiment engendered
in Spartanburg and GreenviIle, S. c., re-
spectively. by the publication of the
census report Monday on the population
OF South aCrolina, cities. is shown by a
special dispatch from each of the cities
10 the Chronicle.
Intense rivalry exists between the two
towns. The spartanburg correspondent
writes In part:
The figures published by the census
bureau today were received here with
qualification. spartanburg has felt all
along she would show a larger popula-
lafion than Greenville, though 1t was
known that Or eenville would not be sat
isfied with the census II she did"
The writes:
'sThe city OF Greenville ofiicially. and
all in It, do not believe Greenville has
been given full and fair count in the
1910 census and 1t is probable an ef-
fort win be made to take citizens
census"
Greenville citizens say there Is no
doubt the town has more people than
spartanburg and that the government
Work has done that town great inJus-
tice
Up until this year Greenville was the
third city in the state. but spartanburg
has now taken this rank.

Gently clamped down over the city Of
Macon by the mayor has been lifted a
little, while the one covering the county
outside OF the city Is still on tight. Is
shown By the cases reaching trial in
the recorders and city courts. Monday
there were cases involving DRINKS galore
in the recorders court. the intoxicated
persons not being confined TO any class
or race. This was accepted by the Of
feers as fncontrovertible evidence that
somewhere and somehow the sale. OF
whisky had been effected in the city.
Whereas in the city court. where the
cases originating outside the city limits
are tried. the only defendants were two
operators OF blind tigers and seven gam
blers. showing that Sherin Hicks is at
tending 10 his duty in a very proper
way. But Il IS still officially contended
that Macon Is the driest city in the
state. and that liquor Is very. very difti-
cult to obtain here. That Is. from the
salons. There are sevral clubs whose
membership may be attained by merely
signing a ticket at the time OF pur-
chase. where all manner OF liquor is
sold.
