PROHIBITION IN SENATE.
Virginia House Refuses to Take it up
Out of Regular 0rder--Tax
Bill Fight.

Richmond, Va, Feb. 13.--The fight
of the Prohibitionists has been carried
to the Senate. Failure yesterday for
the third time to have the House take
up the Submission bill out Of its regu-
lar order caused a measure similar to
the Jordan bill to be introduced IN the
Senate, and from now on the fight will
be forced by the temperance advocates
Speaker Byrd presented his Tax
Commission bill before the House Fin
ance Committee, while Hugh A. White
offered opposition to the Byrd plan OF
Capitalization and urged 4 segrega-
ton Of taxes. The White plan, it is
argued, would almost bankrupt Rich
mond and other cities of the State.
The Committees report will probably
be made tomorrow and then will ensue
a warm contest on the floor of the
House.
Both branches passed number of
local bills today.

HOUDINI AT THE GAYETY.

The Gayety Theater in Washington
confidently expects to break all it,
records for attendance this week. The
Bowery Burlesquers presented yesterday
their double travesty on the court
room scene in Madame Y" and one
OF the scenes from the great farce
success Excuse Me-. The two are
combined in the skit called Ma iams
Mouse Me-. Iu addition to the Bow.
cry BurIesque entertainment, which,
includes two act musical farce called
'Too Much Isascs", the Gayety has
as an extraordinary stellar feature the
great Houdini, who has escaped from
more prison cells, handouts, straight
Jackets, ropes, bags, barrels, and pack
ing cases than any other living man.
II the r ather permits it is probable
that he will dive from one OF the
bridges into The Potomac river. He
will be handcuffed rs he has been on
previous occasions.
This is the same Houdini whu mYsti'
fled audiences at Chase's Theater two
seasons ago. He will excel his former
'es:s by the introduction of new spec
lalty-releasing himself from sealed
zinc can, which is filled with water
just before he is inclosed in it.
The extraordinary drawing powers
OF Houdini are not to be taken as an
indication that the Bowery Burlesque
entertainment is impaired. That or.
ganization is one OF the most popular
on the burlesque wheel.

REPUBLICAN CONVENTION

REPUBLICAN, CONP EN1lON
The following is the text Of resolu-
lions adopted yesterday by the Repub-
llican Convention Of this district which
met in this city.
The Republicans of the Eighth Vir-
GINA District-in Congressional Dis
trjct Convention assembled, for the
purpose of electing two delegates and
two alternates to the Fifteenth Nat
ional Republican Convention, to be
held at Chicago, Illinois, on June lSth'
1912, renew their allegiance to the
Republican Party and endorse the
platform adopted by the National Re-
publican Convention, held at Chicago,
in 1908.
Four wears ago, the Eighth District
Republicans were, as they are in this
campaign, the first in Virginia to elect
delegates to the National Republican
Convention. The two delegates then
elected voted for President Tafts
nomination and on every roll call
voted to sustain the majority report
of the Committee on Resolutions,
which wrote the platform to which
President Taft is so conscientiously
endeavoring to give force and effect,
by his wise and patriotic recommend
atoms to the Congress.
And now the Republicans Of the
Eighth Virginia District, desiring to
register their unqualified approval OF
President Taft's administration, es-
pecially his earnest efforts to revise
the tariff in accordance with the plat
form declarations, his efforts for IN
ternational peace, his enforcement OF
the antitrust laws and all laws for all
alike, without regard to station in life
and his determination to keep the
Party worthy of trust; and further de-
string to stand squarely on President
Taft's record, we hereby direct and
instruct the two delegates and two al
ternates, elected today, February II,
1912, to represent the electors OF the
Eighth District of Virginia, in the
Fifteenth National Republican Con-
vention, to be held at Chicago, Hi
nois, on June 18th, 1912, to cast their
votes for the denomination of Presi-
dent Taft, on every ballot that may be
taken. "a
Being assured of President Tafts
denomination, the Republicans of the
Eighth Virginia District, ask for him,
the support of not only those who have
acted with US in the past, but of all
our fellow citizens, who, regardless Of
past political differences, unite in
the desire to maintain the policies.
perpetuatc the blessings and make Sc
cure the achievements" Of all the Re-
publican administrations, that have
gone before.
We commend former President
Roosevelt for periodically following
the precedents set by Washington and
jefferson and courageously stanalns
against a third term and direct the
attention of those who are persistent
| ly using his name to this, his decla-
ration.
"The wise custom, which limits the
President to two terms, regards the
substance and not the form, and under
no circumstances will | be a candidate

AGAINST LAW TO TREAT.
House Of Delegates Passes Drastic
Law Prohibiting Treating in
Saloons of Virginia.

Richmond, Va, Feb. 13.-The House
of Delegates, by vote OF So to 22
yesterday passed the Fitzhugh anti
treating bill.
If the bill be approved by the Sen
ate, which is said to be doubtful, no
man in Virginia canbuy a friend a
"mountain' or "small beer" or even a
"rin-gicky," without running grave
danger of being arrested and fined or
imprisoned.
One of the amusing features of the
fight was the stampede made by near
ly a score of members to get out of
the House when the roll was called.
Captain Curtis, of Richmond, led the
assault on the bill, and declared, in
impassioned tones,that the"gentleman
from Northampton" was trying to
put restriction upon the gentlemen
of Virginia, to which they should not
submit"
81 am over seventy-seven years old"
shouted the venerable captain, and
here this man comes along and says |
shall not buy a friend little drink.
1t is an outrage, and l implore you,
gentlemen, OF strike this bill-this the
most pernicious Of bills-from the CAL
endar."
Mr.. Fitzhugh replied to Captain
Curtis argument. He declared that
he had no wish to deprive the captain
of his drink, but wished to protect the
young men and young women of the
State, many, Of whom, he declared, are
being ruined by means Of the treating
custom.
The text of the bill is as follows: Be
it enacted by the General Assembly of
Virginia, That it shall be unlawful to
treat in saloons, dram shops or other
places where intoxicating liquors are
sold at retail in this State, whether he
eb the person treating or treate.
2. The term "treat" as used in this
act, is hereby defined and declared to
be the giving away of Intoxicating
beverages in any quantities or the pur
chase of same by one person for an
other in any place where intoxicating
liquors are sold at retail. Provided
however, that nothing herein shall be
construed to prevent the giving
away of Intoxicating liquors for pure
ly medical, scientific or religious pur-
poses.
8. Every licensed saloon in the
State of Virginia shall be conducted
on the plan of mo treating, land every
owner of any such saloon, dram shop
or other place where Intoxicating liqu-
ors are sold, shall post and keep pos
ted in q conspicuous place within the
bar of such saloon or like places where
Intoxicating liquors are sold, a white
placard on which shall be printed in
black letters not less than three inches
high, the words, Treating Prohibited
by Law"
4. Any person violating any of the
provisions of this act shall be guilty
of a misdemeanor and shall be fined
in a sum not less than ten dollars nor
more than twenty-five dollars for each
offence
