Acute interest attaches to the pro-
posed referendum clause If it is add
ed, the governor is expected to sign the
law II it is not added. he is expected
to veto it,
The impression exists that the clause
will not be added. If it is it likely
will be by close vote E it is not
added and the governor vetoes the act,
that will precipitate an even harder
fight than the present one. for the enc
mics of the bill believe confidently that
it will be impossible to pass it over the
governors veto. Its more ardent cham
pions maintain, however, that the bill
will become a law eventually. even over
the veto of Governor Brown if it is
interposed.
Under an agreement already ratified
by the house, the Tippins bill must
come up for final disposition tomorrow,
on a call on the previous question. at
10:30 o'clock.
Al that time the hopes of the more
ardent prohibitionists of Georgia will

After being disposed of by the house,
the bill will go Immediately to the SEN

success. Its friends say it will have at
least 81 votes in the senate and prob
ably 40. The former would be INSULT
cient to pass it over the governors veto
the latter would be more than suffi-

County Unit Plan
To Elect Senators.

Representative J. Q. Adams, of Hal,
introduced a bill in the house today
providing for the county unit system in
all primary elections held in Georgia
for the nomination of United States
senator's
Mr. Adams bill provides that the
legislature, in seeking to determine
who shall be voted for for senator,
shall consider the names of such can
didates only as have been voted for ii.
such county unit primary. The bill
also provides that in the event OF a
vacancy in the senate following a SEN
atorial primary and pending a session
Of the Legislature, the governor shall
appoint to the vacancy the nominee Of
said primary. provided not more thar
one party primary shall have been held.
This bill undoubtedly was an out
come of the state Democratic execu-
tive committees action of Saturday,
calling popular plurality senatorial
primary for August.
The Western and Atlantic commits
sion measure, sponsored by Senator w.
J. Harris and passed by the legislature
the last session, but vetoed upon con-
stitutional grounds by former Governor
Hoke Smith, will be given another
chance by the general assembly.
A resolution. providing for a stand
ing commission Of three from the SEN
ate and five from the house, to hold
office until all the leases of the Western
and Atlantic railroad which expire in
1919, are consummated. went to the
senate today.
Indicating by the unanimity of the
vote that the 5ristow amendment to
the Federal constitution providing for
the popular election of United States
senators would undergo some hard
Shedding before it passed, if passage
were accomplished at all, the senate
agreed to the Alexander resolution pro-
viding a joint committee to investigate
the amendment.
AS result of charges and counter
charges made this fall to the state
printing commission, bill creating the
office of state printer went to the SEN
ate TODAY and, according to the senti-
ment in favor of such an office, doubt
less will pass without serious opposi
ton.
Senator Kight has let the legisla-
ture know that he Is violently opposed
to the new county mania which seems
to have obsessed the state. He has in
troduced a bill that puts Il real crimp
in a lot of the new county boosters who
are thronging the state capitol.

GREEK BROAD JUMPER
DEFEATS YANKEE STAR
Relay Team From This Side
Makes Best Time. But Is
Disqualified.
By MICHAEL j. MURPHY.
(Trainer of the American Team at
Stockholn1.)

STOCKHOLM, July S.-One of the
most remarkable athletic feats ever
witnessed thrilled the thousands at
tending the International Olympic
games this afternoon when Americans
took first second and third places In
the final Of the 500 meter event. Thus
they duplicated their feat of yesterday
when three Yankees dashed home in
first. second and third places in the
final of the 100 meters.
Three American runners broke the
worlds record for the SOO-meter dis
tance and German runner equaled
it. The summary of the 500 meters:
First. J. f. Meredith, of the Mer-
cersburg, Pa, Athletic club, 1 minute
81 $40 seconds.
Second, Melvin Sheppard, Of the
Irish American Athletic club. l min
ute 50 seconds.
Third Ira n. Davenport. OF the Chi
cago university minute 80 seconds;
Braun of Germany, l minute 81 10
seconds.
The old record for the distance was
minute 50 IL seconds, made by
Sheppard, in London. four years ago.
This race was by far the most SEN
sational event of the games. 1t gave
the American team enough points to
equal the points OF all the other ma
tions combined.
Atlanta Georgian., 1912-07-08

The running high jump was won by A.
w. Richards of Brigham Young uni
verslty. at feet S-4 inches, beating
the old record by S-4 inch.
American athletes are now the over
whelming favortes in the fifth annual
renewal OF the Olympic games. The
ease with Nhich they swept the boards
in the sprints and 500 meter run was a
revelation to the followers of athletics,
and as a result Americans anxious to
bet on their team are unable to place
wagers of any magnitude.
What few bets were made installed
the Americans as favorites with the
odds at 4 or to l.
American athletes went down in de-
feat in the first event of the third days
contest of the Olympic games This
was the standing broad jump, which
was won by Tsicletras. a Greek ath-
lete He jumped a distance OF S.37 me-
ters.
Despite their defeat in the standing
broad jump, however, the Americans
were cheered when notified that their
swimming teams protest against the
action taken in the 100 meter semi
finals yesterday had been sustained by
the international jury. The race will
be re-swam before the termination of
the games and the Americans are con-
fdent that in this they will capture at
least three points
Through some misunderstanding
three men who had qualified for the
semi s-Kahanamoku, McGillivray
and Hussagh-did not appear for the
semi finals when they were swan off.
In the trial heat Kahanamoku had
broken the worlds record.
