It showed IS of the members present to be in favor of prohibition, with one absent, and 16 voting against, though the prohibitionists claim they will show twenty votes on bill for statu- atory prohibition when it is brought before the Senate for final considera- tion.
 After the baseball bill had been dis posed of, Senator Garrett asked that Senate bill No, 75 be called up. This bill, introduced by Senator White We'd |nesday, had previously been read twice and was subject to passage on it's third reading. Objection was made to the reading of the bill, under the claim that it was on the calendar and must take it's turn. This led to a dispute which was only settled by an interpretation by Senator Futrell, an authority on parliamentary procedure, who held that it would take two thirds vote to call the bill up out of regular order. A motion was prompt | ly made to bring the bill up, and a roll call demanded. The vote upon it was as follows:
 Aye-Bush, Cabaniss, Carter, Da- Ivenport, Ferguson, Futrell, Garrett, Greenhouse, Kendall, Overman, Ruff,
