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.

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.
