SHARP PERSONAL COLLOQUIES INJECTED
IN ALL-DAY DISCUSSION ON QUESTION
Many Senators Take Up Cudgel Strongly
in Defense of Anti-Saloon League and
Its Superintendent, Answering Crit
cisms in Conclusive Manner---Senator
Mapp's Magnificent Effort

The Virginia Senate after two days of debate has
committed itself by the very decided vote of 50 to in
favor of special commissioner who shall have entire
charge of the enforcement of the prohibition laws in
this State This vote was taken late yesterday after
noon on Senator strodes substitute for section 3d.
of the General Prohibition Bill, which substitute
sought to place the enforcement of prohibition in the
hands of the Governor MIR. Buchanan was the only
member of the Senate not present Had he been
present it is understood that he would have voted
with the majority, increasing their number to 81
This action of the Senate means that the plan pro-
posed by the prohibition leaders of the State that
special officer shall be chosen whose sole duty it will
be to that the prohibition laws strictly enforced
in every section of Virginia will be put into effect The
vote in the Senate for the passage of the bill will be
larger than that cast against MIR. Strodes pro
position abandon the idea of the commissioner and
charge the Governor with the special duty Of seeing
that these particular laws enforced. It IS prob
able that in the final vote in the Senate not more than
three and possible not more than two votes will be
cast against the bill The sentiment in the House is
said to be equally pronounced that in The Senate
and there to be doubt that the bill as re-
ported by the Committee on Moral Welfare will after
being perfected in minor particulars become the
law of the State.

Fred Merkle's failure to touch second in an earlier game had resulted in a wrangle and the directors ordered the game to be played over on the day following the close of the season.
