STAND PIT FOR PRESENT Prohibitionists Won’t Yield a Point to Antis. OFFER COMPROMISE ON JULY 1 NEXT Great Fight to Come Off Wednesday for Absolute Prohibition or None. ‘ fhe prohibitionists In the legislature do not care how many substitutes or amendments are offered for the prohi bition bill when it comes up for pas sage; they are going to stand flat-foot- ed for the measure as it* is today, and thsy will not yield one inch of ground to the opposition." This was the answer given by Rep- resentative Seaborn Wright Monday morning when asked his opinion re garding the substitute and amendments which it is proposod to offer to the prohibition bill when it comes up for passage in the house next Wednesday, In the effort tp defeat the Hardman senate prohibition bill, which Is now pending In the house, and which will be read the third time nnd put on Its passage next Wednesday, the oppo nents of the measure have mapped out three plans of attack, either one of which, If successful, will serve to de feat the ends for which the prohibition forces are striving. The first Is to offer a substitute for the bill, which, It Is said, will do away with the saloon, but will allow tile sale of alcoholic beverages In the original ’ 'package, which can neither be opened -nardrunk on the premises whero It Is sold. This substitute, it Is understood, " 111 ■UTcrci] by Mr. Hall, ,,f Bibb, and Mr, Slater, of Bryan. It Is designed to allow the sale of whisky and other Ih- toxlcants on the wholesale principle, thua abolishing the evil of social drink ing In barrooms, and will he offered as a compromise for the measure now be fore the house. An Alternative. Should thla substitute be defeated, as It will In all probability, the leaders of the opposition. It Is said, will then seek to so amend the bill that "an honest, respectable man enn keep a bottle of liquor In his home, or obtain wine, beer or other alcoholic fluids upon pre. scrlptlon of physicians.” Whether the leaders of the move ment have yet worked out the standard by which a physician shall determine the honesty and respectability of the applicant for the prescription, or the latitude he shnll bo given In determin ing these vital points, has not yet been given out. Should this amendment also be de feated, then the nntl-prohtbltlonlsts will fall back to the last ditch and make a fight for an amendment to make the bill go Into effect January 1, 1909, Instead of January 1, 1908. Compromise on July 1. While Governor • Smith stands pledged to sign the prohibition bill If It Is passed by the legislature, ho ts also Interested In other Important legislation, and la anxious to see the question of prohibition disposed of as early os possible. With this end In vletv, it |s reported that he has sug gested to the prohibition leaders that a compromise be effected, and that the hill bo changed so as to go Into effect July I, 1908, instead of January 1, 1908. This proposition. It Is said, was re fused by the prohibitionists, who have determined that the hill shall go through the house as It passed the senate, and as It was later amended by the house temperance committee. Disfranchisement Bill To Be Recon sidered. PROFESSOR HAU, Now on trial at Karlsruhe, Ger many, for murdering his mother- in-law. His wife afterwards com mitted suicide. The trial Is com manding great attention. His at torney has challenged the state's attorney to a duel. JUDGE PRITCHARD IROERS DISCHARGE OF TICKET AGENTS Holds ( That Men Were Working Under the Injunction. Asheville, N. C, July 2?.—Judge Pritchard, In the United States circuit court here,- has ordered the discharge from the custody of the municipal aii- thorltles, tho two Southern railway ticket agents. Wood and Wilson. In doing so the judge died a written opin ion of some 3,000 words, In which he bases his decision on the ground: 1. Thnt tho ticket agents were pro tected In selling at the old rate by the United States circuit court’s Injunction staying execution of the law until Oc tober next, when Special Master Mont gomery, of Raleigh, Is expected to re port his findings In the rase referred to him by Judge Pritchard. 2. That the pennl clause of the new state rate law In Itself Is unconstitu tional, In that It Is so heavy as to be confiscatory and to prevent a contest by the companies affected in the courts. It now remains to be seen If the po lice judge will attempt to force the ticket agents to serve the sentence he Imposed on them—thirty days on the county roads. The contempt case against Harmon Is still pending this afterrtoon before Judge Pritchard. Harmon Is the man on whose affidavit the two ticket agents were arrested the eecond time. When summoned before the United States circuit court Suturday, he failed to respond. The execution which some dispatches have stated would be levied today at Raleigh, for the 130,000 line on the Southern railway property. Is the for mality of issuing the execution, within three days after adjournment of the state court, as the law requires. That the bill of Mr. Williams, of Laurens, known as the administration "disfranchisement" bill, will meet with strong opposition when It comes up for passage In the lower house, was dem onstrated Monday morning when Mr. Hall, of Bibb, started a successful fight to have the but. which has been favor ably reported by the committee on con* stltutlonal amendments, recommitted to that committee and considered along with his measure on the same line. Mr. Hall declared that no oppor tunity had been given him to attend the meeting, as It was called by the author of the bill, Mr. Williams, with out his knowledge, and that he should have been given an opportunity to present hie bill to the committee at the same time. There was considerable debate over the question, during which certain por tions of It became rather warm. Mr. Williams declared that he was acting as chairman of the committee during the absence of Mr. Perry, and that it was not his business to notify the gentleman from Bibb when meet ings were to be held, nor was It the duty of the house to recommit the bill Just to "please the whim of one mem ber." Mr. Hall declared that It was’noth ing, but common courtesy to give him a hearing before any bill on disfran chisement was acted upon. Mr. Sheffield, of Decatur, charged that Mr. Hall’s bill does not conform t» the Macon platform and that the "house had better look with some sus picion upon the man who went up and down the state last year declaring that he was opposed to disfranchisement." Mr. Hall denied that he had ever said he was opposed to disfranchise ment, but stated that ho was oppose! to any measure which disfranchised a ‘the man and enfranchised a negrr The vote 'of-the hnnse svas over whelmingly In favor of Mr. Hall’s reso lution that the bill be recommitted, but whether It was done fis a matter of courtesy to the gentleman from Bibb or whether the administration bill Is unsatisfactory will not be known until the measure comes up for final action. Tho house was called to order by Speaker Slaton at 10 o'clock Monday morning and led In prayer by Chaplain Parks. Upon request of Mr. Martin, of El- •bert, unanimous consent was given for the reading of the senate resolution Inviting Dean A. M. Soule, of the agri cultural college at Athens to address the general assembly Monday night at 8:30 o’clock. The resolution was. read and adapted. A VOICE OF AUTHORITY— Mr. Custis N. Anderson, a well known real estate man of Atlanta, and man ager of the Mercantile and Collection Department of the law firm of Anderson, Felder, Rountree & Wilson, writes as follows: Mr. F. L. Seely, Publisher The Atlanta Georgian. Dear Mr. Seely: As one of the real estate agents of Atlanta, I wish to commend you and your paper for the splendid stand it has taken on the prohibition measure, now pending before our legis lature. While all of our business men realize that a change so radical as the one proposed will cause many changes and a readjustment of affairs in some quarters, I, for one, wish to express my faith in Atlanta's and Georgia’s great future with a law of this nature in force, and a firm belief that the material os well as moral welfare of our state will be enhanced rather than decreased. I realize that it takes a splendid amount of courage to come out boldly and take the stand you have taken in view of the forces arrayed on the other side, and the right thinking people throughout the state should give you their united support. Yours with best wishes, CUSTIS N. ANDERSON. Verdict Is Expected by Next Satur day. Just bow long the fight on these pro win* pouch amendments to the bill will be protracted ts a queatlon for surmise. The test vote In the house last Friday showed that the friends of the bill had approximately 115 votes, while the opponents were able to muster only J9. At that time, however, many friend* of the bill were absent from the house while the antl-prohlbltlon contingent were present almost wlth- exceptlon. ■n regard to the proposed amend ments the leaders of the prohlbitlon- ict» have already expressed thera- Jd'es. Thy have asserted that they have a following of three-fourths of the house, and proved it last Friday' ''hen It came to a test. They-have ■uither declared that If the opponents ® f the present bill seek to kill the bill ov amendments or to block Its passage “S' filibustering tactics, they will change the hill so that It will go Into '"“cl immediately after Its passage, ond then enact It Into law without delay.

Railing Broke; 3 Men Drown the house to put on Its pnssngc tho bl of Mr. Burwell, of Hancock, provid ing for confirming and validating all bonds Issued by counties and munici palities since the adoption of tho con stitution of 1827 and prior to the paee- age of the act approved 1897, provid ing for validating bonds of counties anti municipalities. Mr. Dunbar, of Richmond, offered an amendment to the bill providing that no bonds shall be allowed vali dated which have been Issued since the constitution of 1877. The amendment was adopted and the bill waa passed by a substitute of fered by the-commlttee on banks and banking, to which the bill was referred. Upon request of Mr. Candler, of De- Kalb, the house took up the bill prg- Bolse, Idaho, July 22.—When this week closes, on Saturday afternoon, probably, the fate or William D. Hay wood will' be known. The Jury Is ex pected to bring In a verdict by that thne. The argument for the defense opened this morning and will probably continue for the next two ,or three days. K. F. Richardson began the argu ment for Haywood and he will proba bly speak for about ten hours, referring in detail to every point of disputed evi dence elicited since the trial begun. Clarence Darrow, of Chlcngo, will not begin his closing argument until Wed nesday rooming. The last word will come from Senator Borah, who -proba bly will speak Friday, rinsing the state's side of the case. The Jury will be charged by Judge Wood ,,n Friday afternoon or Suturday morning nnd a verdict Is expected on Saturday night. There Is great difference of opinion ns to the outcome. Tho defense this morning made It plain that the conten tlon that Harry Orchard Is an arch liar as well os a murderous fiend will be strictly adhered to. Haywood’s complicity In any crime Orchard con fessed will be denied, and It Is contend ed that Orchard Implicated the officials of the Western Federation of Miners through persuasion and coercion by detectives In the employ of the mine owners. There will be no more nfternoon sea. stone of the Hnywood trial, owing to the extreme heat. Morning and even ing sessions are to be held, the latter from 6 to 8:30 o'clock.

Toklo, July 22.—Advlcea from Seoul Indicate that the demands that will probably be presented by Japan Include a revision of the Japnnese-Korean treaty or a new Korean constitution. Another plan Is to give the resident general direct control of all the depart ments and to make the cabinet'respon sible to him, the emperor retaining the power of formal veto. In any case the Korean military system will be abol ished. Desultory rioting continues In Seoul, where General Hasegawa Is In com mand of the Japanese forces. At the suggestion of Prince Ito, the various consulates have accepted Japanese guards. It Is reported that three American warships and an English cruiser are expected at Chemulpo this afternoon and that they will land ms- tinea to protect the consulates.

About 500 tons of frozen water, enough to make an artificial Iceberg the size of tho governor’s mansion, was distributed to a fanning, perspiring and overheated Atlanta public Sunday, according to the statements of the lot men, whose lumbering wagons were In the nature of relief chips to the suf fering populace. The parka and cooling off places around the city were filled with thou sands who sought to dodge old Sol’s rays and catch the breeze*. but the bulk of the population, according to the water department's calculations, hovered In and about the bath tubs. Mors water was used In Atlanta tban on any previous Sunday In the history of Atlanta. Water Record Broken. The consumption of .water In Atlanta on Sundays Is always much lower than on any other day, and usually does not exceed 8,000,000 gallons. On the Bun day just passed 10,000,000 were used, which, according to the general man ager, Is the record, and with a good margin. Thla Is made more remarkable be cause of the fact that the people of Atlanta have been urged to be sparing and economical In the use of water for tho next thirty days, because of the danger of the reservoir falling again, and many families have pursued this course as far as practicable. The trouble with the temperature was that it did net let up as early as usual. The maximum, 95.8, was reached at about 3 o'clock and for an hour the mercury lingered around that figure, reluctantly going down to the accom paniment of gasps of relief. Several Inquisitive people who put thermome ters In the sun to see how hot ft was out there reported broken Instruments. An exasperated citizen called up the weather man, seeking Information upon which to- build hopes of better things. What must I look fort” asked he.

It ■ rained nickels and dimes to the soda Water and Icc men, but the only water came out of the pipes.

Nearly all on hoard went down with the vessel. The pas sengers Hnd most of the crews were asleep on both steamers when the crash occurred.

The coast In the spot where the acci dent occurred Is badly supplied with lights and soveral marine tragedies have occurred there. The scene on board when the vessels struck was appalling.
