 The allotted fifty days of the 1911
 session of Georgia'sl legislature were
 numbered today. The session was
 noted, among other things, for the elel- tion of Gov. Holxe Smith as United States
 senator: and his determination, despite some opposition to retain the governor ship until certain legislation was accom- plished or the session adjourned One reason given by the governor for his re- tention of the office was his anxiety to see passed an anti-lobbying bill, and ia this he was satisfied.
 Other important events of the session were:
 Defeat of bill by committee prohibit ing sale of near beer passage of bill
 making possession of federal liquor ll- cense prima facie evidence of conducting sale of liquor; refusal to admit women lawyers to bar; enactment of Georgia 5 first game and fish law; making it pos sible for cities to adopt commission forrn of government; .proposal to remove capital to Macon: creation of office of state audi tor; creation of department of labor.

MIR. UNDERWOOD DECLARES
 TAFT'Sr MESSAGE IS VERY WEAK
BY WALTER HARPER

Washington, August, 7s-fSpecial)- )-Dis- cusing the Presidents veto of the woolen bill tonight Oscar w. Underwood said:
 The message and the position of the President are very weak. He basis his opposition to the legislation on the ex- cuse that he has not heard from the tariff board of his own creation. This board has had IS months and has so far failed to give any information of value. Every tarig bill that has ever been en- acted by Congress has been done withosit the aid of a tariff board.
 From time to time many changes lave been made in tariff bills by Congress without injuring the business of the co oun- try.
 The President has declared that the wooden schedule of the Payne-Ald:-tch tariff law is indefenslbe and ought 60 be revised, and when democratic House and Senate sent revision hill 70 him he psefel.s wait fei. the aesinef,t Of a commission of men who are responsible to no one, who act without autlfority' of law to revise the tariff and forces the Amer
