Although Mrs. H. had been separated
from her husband for several years be-
cause he refused to support the family
and was extremely cruel to her and the
children. she was happy and thankful
that she was able to support her chill
dren by working as saleSwoman. The
family lived in small and simply fur

by careful management Mrs. H. was
able to supply the needs of herself and
the three children. When they returned
home from school each child had his
own tasks to do so that mother would
not have to work so hard"
Then came that unfortunate morning
when Mrs. H.. about to board a street
car, was struck by speeding automo-
bile After long weeks Of pain and suf-
fering in the hospital she was allowed
to return home. The doctors were able
to avoid amputation, but there Is little

ASK BEER HEARING
Claim Constitutional Phases
Have Never Been Con.
Sidered.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
Organized prohibitioniStS are In
sistent that Chairman Norris Of the
Senate Judiciary Committee grant
hearings on the House beer bill
A committee representing the Anti.
Saloon League, the Boards Of Tenn
perance Of both the Methodist Episco-
pal Church and the Methodist Episco-
pal Church South, the International
Reform Federation and the National
Woman's Christian Temperance Union
yesterday sent letter to Norrh re-
newtng the request.
Opposed by Norris.
1t was contended that the constitu-
tional phases of the House bill have
not been considered and that the
judiciary group has never taken up
proposals to legalize and tax beer.
Norris is opposed to holding hearings
and hopes to have his committee act
on the measure soon after consideration
Is begun next week.
The letter carrying the prohibition.
lists request was given out by Edward
B. Dunford as chairman and Izora
Scott, secretary of the committee rep
resenting the dry group.
The letter said:
I'VE believe there are serious con.
stitutional questions involved in the
Collier beer bill passed by the House
and now pending before your commit
tee. There Is also equally involved the
fundamental question Of the social
policy represented by this legislation.
Seek Consideration.
I'VE would respectfully call attention
to the fact that the constitutional
phases of the measure passed by the
House of Representatives were never
considered by the Judiciary Committee
Of that body. In the hearings before
the Ways and Means Committee of the
House on the bill. four days were given
the proponents of the bill and only two
days to those opposed. The hearings
before the subcommittee on manufac-
lures of the present Senate, in January,
1882, upon similar, proposals to legalize
and tax beer, were not considered by
the Judiciary Committee of the Senate.
This is the first occasion when legis-
lation of this character has been be-
fore that committee for consideration.
In our judgment, the public interest
requires that there should be the full
est consideration of the subjects in
volved."
