House Votes FOR
BAN ON CIGARETTES
Passes Representative
WEIGHS Bill to Prohibit
Sale Within Delaware
PUT THROUGH BILL
FOR LIBRARY SITE
STAFF Correspondent.


DOVER, March 9.-After Represen-
tstive Welch had made a dramatic
speech in its behalf, during which he
made a special appeal to the dry"
members to be consistent and sun
port the bill, the House yesterday ar
ternoon passed Mr. Welch's anti
cigarette bill by vote of 20 yeas to 8
nays.
The bill, should it be passed by the
Senate and become a law, would
prohibit the manufacture and sale
or cigarettes or cigarette pa
pers within the State after Au-
gust l of this year. Under the bill
in case of violations the defendant
could be sent to prison for an unlim-
tied term of years or fined an unlimited
amount, as the act fixes no penalty
whatever, leaving that entirely to the
discretion of the court.
Mr.. WEIGH, in opening his remarks
for the bill, stated the bill seemed to
have created more comment than
other measures He claimed he was
in all sincerity when he introduced the
bill. and that he never knew that a
similar bill had been presented to any
Delaware Legislature until after he
had presented his bill. He claimed
that cigarettes attack and sap "the
youth of our nation" He said he
would as leave see his 9-year-old boy
drinking a glass Of beer as to see him
smoking cigarettes. He claimed most
cigarettes are mixed with some
dope" In his final plea Mr.. Welch
asked for support OF his bill in the
name OF future generations. He said
lit affects the girls, and boys in our
homes" and will drag pOsterity down
Mr.. Ahern inquired il there was not
a State law now prohibiting the sale
of cigarettes to minors.
He was told that there was such a
law applying to minors under IL
years of age.
Mr.. McNabb said he was going to
vote against the bill for the same
reason that he opposed some Of the
dry" measures to be consistent, but
he thought cigarettes are doing more
harm than rum He added, however
that he did not see how some mem
beers could be consistent and not sup
port the bill.
Mr.. Peet said he did not think
there was any doubt but that the
bill would pass and did not consider
Il a joke. The vote on the bill fol.

Ed Big Boy Butler, today con
tributed TO that always increasing
fund being collected daily by Police
Magistrate C. ]. Smith aud known
under the general heading of fines"
II appears from the testimony in
the case offered tn police court this
morning that big Boy" has some very
socialistic ideas, or to be more ex-
plicit, that anything that belongs to
anybody Is as much his as theirs. How
aver, he must have learned in court TO
his sorrow today that there are others
who do not hold the same views--for
instance, his neigbbor.
According to the charge brought
against Butler, by John G.. Scheuer-
mann, 1900 Sixth street, and supported
by the testimony Of other people living
in that vicinity, big Boy has been
allowing his horses to enjoy little
free grazing at the expense of his
neighbors, That he succeeded pretty
well is shown by the fact that he is
said to have gotten away with IL all

pasturage, however, at the close Of his
trial for the Judge placed SO fine
against him accompanied with the
warning to keep your horses in your
