ENACT STATEWIDE
LAW OVER A VETO
Prohibition Governor He| derson's Plea
to Let People Vote en- nestle" Dis
regarded by the Lawmakers.
Who Are Cheered.

Montgomery, Ala, Ian. 22.-Disre-
garding the request Of Governor Hen.
derson for a referendum, the senate
and house this afternoon passed the
rewritten Carmichael and Fuller state
wide prohibition law, over the execu-
tive veto.
The vete in the house was 73 to 30,
and in the senate "a to 10.
The victory for the prohibitionists
came just before adjournment, and
after many speeches had been made
for and against the amendment Of
fered by Governor Henderson. which
would have submitted the prohibition
issue 20 the people in an election and
would have made the prohibition laws
effective September 50 instead Of
June 30.
Both amendments we're defeated in
the house by vote Of 20 to 80, thus
they did not reach the senate.
Crowds filled the galleries while the
vote was being taken in the house and
senate, and when the result was ar
nounced there were mighty cheers
from the prohibition contingents.
The result of the days work of the
| legislator" means that every saloon
in Ala arla must close its doors at II
o'clock the night Of June 30, never to
open again.

BRITAIN IS Firm
IN CASE OF DACIA
Sir Edward Grey Notifies
Washington That Transfer
Not Considered Bora Eide.

Washington, Jan. pa communi-
caticn from Sir Edward Grey direct
to the state department today made
Great Britain's hostile attitude toward
the Dacia palmer, if possible, than
the statement of facts given out last
night at the British embassy.
The main points in Sir Edward s
communication are, however, sub
substa ntially the same as those para
phrased last night for the press by
Sir Cecil Sp.ng Rice, the British ana
bassddor.
The state department official took
special note today of the phraseology
of the declaration and it's important
variations from previous official an
nouncements from the British govern
ment on the seizure of ships.
The officials realize that Great Brit
ain may capture the vessel as a prize
of war because she still regards the
Dacia as the property in sufficient de-
gree at least, of Germany. She might,
however, merely seize the vessel as
other seizures have been made within
tn past four months and release both
the cargo and the crew.

OF IS
Hospital Has Already Proven
Its Worth to CeIiRa
Has Advantage Of Splendid Site
and Spacious GrOund-FIIl-
ing q LOng-FeIt Want.

One of the recent additions, and at
the same time one of the most valu-
able acquisitions, to Celina is the
new Otis hospital on East Market
street, which was founded by DR.. l..
M. Otis a couple of months ago.
DR.. Otis, who came here from
Michigan a couple of years ago, has
become known as one of the foremost
practioneers OF the town, despite his
brief residence here. He is a hust-
Ter from the word go, and has gained
an enviable reputation.
Several months ago DR.. Otis pur-
chased the Carlin home, formerly the
old BrOadwell brick homestead.
which sets far back off OF the street
on East Market, and overlooking the
Grand Reservoir. The site was an
ideal one for hospital purposes and
