DETERMINED FIGHT
TO TH ELAST DITCH

appeal from the whisky dealer?
He refused Tuesday morning to an
swer a direct question as to his report
ed leadership of the house, and avoided
the Issue by saying that he didn't know
any antl-prohibltlon force. But a prom
inent member of the house Is authority
for the statement that Mr. Hall will
not fight the bill, though he will vote
against its passage.
In last Sunday's Constitution there
appeared interviews from a number of
whisky dealers, of which Mr. liluthen-
thal, of the Arm of Hluthenthal & Blck-
art, was the only one who expressed
a belief thpt the bill might be defeat
ed. Was that firm depending upon
any known Influence to defeat the
measure?
Mr. Hall would not state whether he
had received any telegrams In response
to the alleged uppeal from the liquor
dealer.
There was a quiet and unheralded
meeting of whisky dealers and their
political friends Monday night. Very
little leaked from that meeting, but It
Is stated that those present felt confi
dent of filibustering the bill to death in
the house.
“Forty tnen In the hoyse will help In
the filibustering on the floor of the
house," was the statement mode at the
meeting.
“The wljlsky Interests have an enor
mous campaign fund In cash and wait
ing In Atlanta for an opportunity to use
It," said one well-informed man Mon
day night. “They will use It if they
think they con reach the right men and
get results, but they are holding ofT
now.”
That a check for $10,000 wns re
ceived by a representative of the whis
ky Interests from the saloon men of one
Georgia city, woa reported In hotel cor
ridors Monday night, to be used, If an
opportunity were presented.
Representative W. A. Covington, au
thor of the bill In the house, states that
the opponents of the measure Jmve told
him that no filibustering tactics will be
used.
We have 125 members of the house
who nro pledged practically to vote for
the bill," said one prohibitionist,
takes but 93 votes to pass it."
But under the constitution and the
house rules, one-fifth of tho house, or
thirty-seven members, can, by filibus
tering tactics, delay tho vote upon the
bill for an indefinite period.
The bill has been reported favorably
by the house temperance committee
and will come up for passage
Friday of this week, according
present plans. That a fierce fight will
be brought by Its opponents there Is no
doubt.
The result Is In tho hands of tho
members of tl$e house of representa
tives.
INCREASE SALARIES
BILL BEFORE SENAT.
A bill to Increaae tho salaries of the
supreme court Justice!.from *1,000
*6,000 per annum waslntroduced In the
senate Tuesday. At the same time a
bill was Introduced to fix the salaries
of the appellate court Judges at *6,000
per annum.
The bill creating the court of appeal!
provided for the same compensation
for the appeal judge* az received by
the supreme Justices. Hence the two
measures.
For nearly two hours the . senate
ground away Industriously Tuesday,
and turned out n raft of work. New
bills were Introduced, several passed,
one killed and many house and senate
bills read for the second time.
A bill by Senator Hardman provides
for the creation of a drug Inspector
under the new pure food law at a sal
ary of *1,000 per annum. This meat'
ure Is urged by the pharmacists of the
state, who are anxious for strict on
forcement of the law as applied '
drugs.
Recommendations from the recent
convention of superior court Judges for
Important changes In certain laws gov
erning practice were transmitted to the
senate Tuesday morning, accompanied
by a special message from Governor
Smith.
The governor especially urged legls
latlon to require that exceptions b<
made Immediately after the jury re
tires. He stated that It would largely
lessen the number of new trials based
solely on questions which would not af-
feet the verdict of the Jury. This would
serve to lighten the heavy work of the
supreme and appellate courts.
Other Amendments.
Other recommendations provide for
constitutional amendment ,o superior
court Judges may grant charters during
vacation at any time.or place: a law to
pay stenographers *10 per day and *16
per day for transcribing notes In felony
cases, and the repeal of section 1010
of tho penal code, so that prisoner may
be sworn In as a witness and cross
examined. He Is given the right, how
ever, to decline to answer any question
that would tend to Incriminate him.
Shortly after the senate opened, Sen
ntor Felder moved to make his auto-
mobile bill the special order of business
for Thursday. He stated that he did
so out of deference to the request
the president of the senate.
Inspect Convict Camps.
Senator Brock Introduced a rcsolu
tlon providing for the appointment
several sub-committees from tho pent
tentlary committee of five from the
house and three from the senate, to
visit the various convict camps during
the vacation and report to the next sea
slon. It went over for a day.
The senate killed the first bill of the
