FIVE ROUSED FROM SLEEP
AS THEIR HOUSE BURNED

Five persons learned that = fire was
raging in their second-story - ok room,
which they used as a kitchen, when the fire
apparatus arrived shortly after midnight
and woke them up. Mrs. Minnie Bushlo-
witz her husband, and three sons, David,
Heyman and Fier, eleven, ten and nine
years old, respectively were sleeping in the
front room on the second floor at 1886
South Fifth street.
Some boys on a back street saw the fire
and threw sticks and stones at the windows,
but failed to wake any one. A passerby on
the street saw the fire and rang i'm an
alarm which quickly brought the engines
and the entire family was safely escorted
outside. The fire was confined to the kitchen
although it burned the ceiling. The origin
is a mystery to the family.

General Assembly Is
Determined to Pass
Bone Dry Law

Atlanta. Ga. March 23.-That the
general assembly of Georgia is deter
mined to pass genuine bone dry
prohibition bill, and that opponents
of such legislation have resigned
themselves to accept the inevitable
with what grace they can command,
is now entirely apparent.
In the senate yesterday afternoon,
for instance, an amendment proposed
by Representative Turner to permit
person to bring into the state on his
person a maximum of one quart a
month was overwhelmingly defeated.
In the house an attempt by Repres-
entative R. B. Blackburn, of Fulton
county, known as the "bell weather"
of the nti-prohibtion flock, attempt
ed a second time to launch filibuster,
and second time was completely
hattened out by the steam roller vote
of an overwhelmingly majority.
The general assembly is bone dry
there isn't a doubt of that, and if
any thirsty citizen in the state has
been deceiving himeslf in the faint
hope that perhaps the governors Sa-
hara desert bill would strike snag
in the extra session, he had better
disabuse his mind and lay himself in
little supply of liquor before it is
everlastingly too late And when he
lays in his supply he had better bury
it in his cellar and build chimney on
top of the fresh dirt, for it's going
to be against the law to have on hand
any quantity for any purpose in any
place.
Today the bill goes upon its pass
age in the house, with debate on
amendments limited to ten minutes
for individual speeches on each
amendment; and debate on the per.
fected bill, after amendments have
been disposed of, limited to six hour:
with an equal division of time between
advocates and opponents. The bill
was placed upon its passage in the
senate yesterday and is still undei
debate today.
1t is thought probable that the bill
will finally pass about the middle o
next week, receive the signature o
the governor within forty-eight hour
and be the law of the land in all prob
liability by Saturday, March 81
