SENATOR HOLMES OF BALDWIN PROPHET WHO FORET0LD MA JORITY MIGHT BE INTOXI~ GATED WITH POWER
By HUGH ". ROBERTS

Montgomery, July 2s,-(Special)-If the charge of MT. Judge of Shelby preferred in the house yesterday afternoon is sus- tained by fact, then Senator Holmes of Baldwin Is prophet.
 As is remembered, MT. Judge appar- ently disgusted in that certain prominent prohibitonists who are not members of the legislature, stood for and urged the exemption clauses in the revenue bill exclaimed;
 "The lobby has led the prohibitionists 'snipe huntingN"
 That the lobby would do so, was pre- dicted months before by Senator Holmes The lobby, at that time, surrounded by numerous members of the majority fac ton, was seated about banquet board in Birmingham. After plans for making prohibition effective were discussed, the members of the lobby initiated a dispu- tation regarding other subjects of equal or greater importance. It was then that Senator Holmes trembled in his shoes for

 That America received fair supply of goods from Germany notwithstanding the war is shown. the British claim by the fact that in eight months the imports from that country to the United States aggregated sS6,00o0O0, and it is noted also that the import of dyestuffs from Ger many was greater than the previous year.

fear of what. in the opinion of MT. Judge. has actually happened.
 Senator Holmes not only trembled in his shoes He made a speech. If he is correctly quoted he said in effect:
 l fear that these gentlemen interested at present in the passage of prohibition laws will, when that object Is attained, bend their talent towards the enactment of other legslaton will display & keen reluctance over yielding the power which they will have acquired, and will at tempt to lead us volens-nolens into strange pastures"
 When seen yesterday in regard to that prediction to which 1t is reported he gave expression, Senator Holmes said that it was common knowledge that he had uttered words to that or similar ef- feet, Asked if in his opinion his predic- tion had been verified, he smiled, sim ply
 MT. Judge, however, is apparently a trifle bolder. For publicly and on the floor of the house, he declared:
 'The lobby has led the prohibitionsts 'snipe huntingp"
 That MT. Judge. who Is prohibition st. should know whether or not the pre- diction of Senator Holmes, who is a pro- hibitionst, has materialized is generally admitted.
 Asked regarding the charge of MT. Judge, one or more members of the lobby fired back with this question:
 What do you mean, snipe hunting?' '
 It was necessary to reply that Mir Judge thought his meaning so obvious that he attempted no explanation.

 Radical Measures Pending
 Before the house committee on tenn perance, MT. Bealle Is reported to have said in executive session that they" first of all intend to deprive citizens of Alabama of their cigarettes, and sec ondly, of their cigars and chewing to- bacco. It Is understood that some of those who entertain identical ideas, de- clare that in the anti-tobacco crusade, the vigilance employed in the anti liquor fight should be observed. In oth- CT words if they are successful in their attempts to put all tobacco-or even cigarettes only-under the ban in Ala bama, 1t is considered probable that they will endeavor to pass anti-ship- ping bills respecting narcotics. These bills would probably provide that no man shall receive by express more than one package of cigarettes, or in number, 20 cigarettes. a week.
 Prohibition leaders are very hope ful that the. prohibitionists of the ranks will fail in their object. For limited number of such extreme or radical or fanatical bills to accentuate the revolution brewing against their prohibition statutes. It Is reasonable to believe therefore, that the anti cigarette bills will be beaten. It Is known to be true that certain members of the temperance committee who aided in putting the Bealle bill before the house with a favorable report, will fight it's passage on the floor of the house
