No Other Measures Yet Have Reached Governors Office-Others Expected in Volume by Friday
WOMEN WORKED TO HAVE SCHOOL BOARD
 MEASURE PASSED

Dy L. .. DEITY

Mentgomery. January 2S.-tSpeeialo Gov. Charles Henderson today approved the Merritt bill providing for the en- fsrcement of statewide prohibition. which yesterday was made . part of the statutes by the lesisIature. The enforcement bill. which is esnpanion measure to the one that wss passed yesterday. Ia practically the same as the old Fuller bnl, carrying all the provisions contained in that bin fer the enforcement of the law. The amendment offered by Governor Henderson referred specifically to the enactment measure. Az soon as that measure passed the two houses the governor at once affixed his signature to the bill providing for the strict en- forcement of the law.
 With the exception of the two pro- hibition bills. which Governor Hen derson inherited from the former chief executive. no other measures have yet reached the governors office. Next week the governor will receive for his consideration a number of measures. | for many bills have already passed one or the other of the two houses and will be up for final passage on Tuesday and Wednesday. By Friday of next week the governor will prob ably have on his desk as many IS 20 or 20 bills.
 What Bills Have Passed Among the important general bills that passed one Of the houses this week were the senate bill to reduce tue goeerno-'s salary and the house . n, essure authorizing women 10 serve on school boards.
 The bill to reduce the governor s salary from S75oo to $5Ooo was in- troduced by Senator Lusk and passed the senate several days ago. It has already had one reading in the house and will pass that body, according to Indications, by Wednesday or Thurs day of next week. The bill does not become effective. however. until the next administration.
 The bill to authorize women to serve on school boards was introduced by Representative Shapiro of Jefferson. and passed the house by practically unanimous vote. The passage of this bill marks the first success scored by women during the present session and Indications are that it will not be the last.
 There is no doubt of the passage of the bill by the senate. Neither is ,here doubt of its approval by the gov ernor.
 Women Persistent Workers
 But the bill to allow women to serve on school boards Is not the only meas ure which the members of that sex are hdvocating. They are bringing consid- |erable Influence and pressure to bear on tho legislature to secure the pass ago of child labor law and while this |bill has not yet been reported ny a committee the women are determined 'that 1t shall be brought to the atten- tion of the two houses.

By EMMA BUGBEE.

Paterson, n. j., April Soaked to
the knees and shivering in the chill Of
the great, empty Tabernacle, a little
band of women awaited the coming Of
Billy Sunday this afternoon. II was
only few minutes past i, and the
snow drifts had not been shovelled
from the doorsteps, when the first OF
the faithful, Mrs. Thomas Wells, came
staggering in. The janitor and his
few men companions CALAMITY with
drew, allowing the woman the freedom
of the stove TO dry her shoes and
skirts. Here she was joined very soon
by two other snow-soaked enthusiasts,
who held out their feet to the heat
and shook the snow from their drag
gled millinery. while their tongues
discoursed Of the great revivalist.
Il just couldn't bear it not to see
him on his first day" said one. "Af-
ter waiting and praying all these
months, couldn't sleep if ! knew

him. | shall wait for him. No mat
ter how late he is in arriving, even if
the train is snowbound and he doesn't
come until night, | shall wait"
Except for the few small zones
around the stoves. the Tabernacle was a
cold and gloomy place.
There was nothing to be seen but
rows upon rows of pine benches, dotted
here and there with patient, dropping
figure in black. There was nothing TO
hear but the beating OF the storm
against the windows, and now and then
the dull thud Of snow falling on the
roof from the heavy branches Of the
pine trees which overhang the struct-
ure.
There was not an Easter Ill. in the
whole huge Tabernacle. nor will there
be any tomorrow, unless the women
OF Paterson take the matter OF decora-
ton into their own hands. Mrs. Wells
limited that the women would be really
to do so, and Easter afternoon may see
hundreds vending their way through
the snow, each with lily in her hand,
to decorate the pulpit for Billy Sunday.
The Sunday decoration committee has
not made any preparations for lilies.
although IL was stated by one OF the
official advance guard that very likely
arrangements would be made TO borrow
flowers from the local churches for he
afternoon services.
