 Make Violation Felony.
GOING ACCUSED OF
 TRYING TO KILL IT
Bill Similar to White Measure Present ed in House and Tabled, After Mo- ton by Wilson to Postpone Indef-
 niteiy Is Lost.

Little Rock. Jan. 2S-Two drastic amendments were placed on the White statewide prohibition bill il the senate this morning. which were followed by another providing that the bill does not take effect until after it has been approved by the people. The first amendments were adopted, but the third was read only once when President Lundy ruled that special order bills had the right of way and shut off further debate been disposed of.
 Senator J. Marion Futrell of Green offered the first two amendments, one preventing any one to manufac- ture or sell liquor or to even give it away or be indirectly connected witt. the sale Or giving away for profit The second makes any violation Of the act felony, punishable by year i in the penitentiary. and prohibits the ] judge setting aside any punishment 1 for d first or second offense.
 The spirited opposition shown to the efforts made by other senators to get this bill up for amendment did not develop when Senator Futre,l took the floor. the anti-prohibition senators manifesting confidence in the gentleman from Green, and they feared no effort would be made to act Ion the bill other than statea by Sena | tor 'Futrell when he asked that the bill be taken up.
 The Futrell amendment was adopt ed after the author stated it would better protect his section Of the state from Missouri "bootleggers."
 Going For Submission.
 Senator Going then offered his amendment, but before it was read there was objection, it being claimed by several of the prohibition sena- tors that the bill had been brought up for the consideration of two amendments only. Senator Clavert took the floor in opposition to such a stand, stating that when bill was up for amendment it could have as many attached as the senate desired to plaster upon it. Senator Futrell did not insist that he had asked the suspension Of the rules to get the bill up for two amendments alone, and President Lundy entertained the Going amendment, which was then read.
 Several senators arose to protest against a second reading of the amendment. Senator Toler first ask ing thai this action be taken, and second that it be rejected. President Lundy ruled that motion to reject was the opposite to one to adopt, and for that reason was not to be enter, tained. At this point Senator Greenhouse was granted the floor on point of order, insisting that the Going amendment was out of order from the fact that it's intention was to kill the bill, or nullify it's pur- poses.
 Senator Toler informed by Presi- dent Lundy that no definite action could be taken upon the bill until it had been read a second time, with drew his opposition to a second read ing, also his motion to reject Or in- definately pospone.
 Being privileged to speak for his amendment, Senator Going started in 1 to explain that the amendment was not offered for the purpose of killing the bill, when the question was raised if the whole question was not out of order at that time, bills which were made a special order for im- mediatefy after the reading of the ournal being the regular order of business. President Lundy so rula1 and the debate was curtailed for the l time being.
 1 Attempt to Outwit People.
 Two other measures brought forth considerable fire during the morning session, one being the Sims bill pro viding for travelling auditor under the state banking department, to in. spect books of county and state of- ficers. and state institutions, which was defeated; and the Greenhouse bill to place the letting of all state printing under the publicity act, in
