KINNEY-CLAYPOOL
 KILLED IN SENATE
Viva Voce Vote Recom- mends Postponement, and Then Another Recalls 1t. After House Members Sass the Senators

The enc thing made plain in rath- CT frutless day in the legislature was that it would be no easy thing to put a prohibition bill through and that any bill that might be passed would fall far short of the wishes of the Temper ance Federation. This demonstration took place in the afternoon session of the senate when a substitute for the Lovin bill and a substitute for the Drachman bill the duplicate of which, the Powers bill had been defeated in the house, were under consideration.
 There are omitted from the new Drachman bill many of the features of the Temperance Federation bill to which the strongest objections were urged. The prohibition commissioner feature is also omitted and the so- called inquisitorial methods provided for in the original bill have been greatly modified
 The first section defines liquors pro- hibited and includes all malt liquors whether intoxicating or not All bev- erages containing as much as one-half of one per cent alcohol is prohibited The bill construes the prohibition amendment to permit the introduction of alcohol for certain purposes and wine for sacramental purposes.
 Restrictions are thrown about the dispensing of medicines containing al cohol. Clubs of all kinds are forbidden to distribute liquor among their mem- bers and the introduction of liquor is prohibited except in the cases men, toned. There can be no advertisement of liquors
 Justices of the peace and superior courts may have jurisdiction and may bring persons suspected of violations of the law before them for examination If necessary houses may be entered by officials in search of evidence of the violation of the law. The payment of q special revenue tax for the sale of liquor is to be regarded as prima facie evidence of the violation of the law.
 The governor shall compel the en- forcement of the law and call upon state. county, precinct and municipal officials to assist in it's enforcement The governor and his agents in this hieittti tit lO Dt NlOlntu Nltu lilt pON CTS of sherffs, county attorneys and police officials Express and railroad companies are required to keep a rec ord of shipments of liquor and this rec ord is at all times to be subject to in spection. The state shall have the right of appeal on questions of law.
 Mir Drachman called this bill up ir inc aftarnoOp in the corDnittee of the whole and at the same time, Mir. Karns presented a substitute for Senate Bil =. the Lovin bill. which he desired con- sidered at the same time. The substi- ute is so liberal that frequently in the course of the consideration it wa: spoken of for short as the wet bill It exempts from the operation of tho law all liquors containing not more than three per cent alcohol and permits the introduction. ad libitum, of liquor. for personal use.
 The Drachman substitute was at tackled in almost every section and wal warmly defended by it's author. pr Bacon especially criticised the inquisi torial features and the sections throw ing restrictions upon druggists. Sena tor Golfer said that he was strongly il favor of prohibition legislation but ht believed that the passage of this bil would have the effect of overturnin: prohibition two years hence.
 When the bill had been read the sub stitute for No. 72 was taken up ant read. At the conclusion of the readins test occurred It may not have beer quite accurate but it showed at leas the closeness of the vote on this sub ject. It came on a. motion to table { motion to recommend the indefinite postponement of the Lovin bill and re suited as follows
