the best workmanship, because the making of good
straw hats is largely a hard process.
To say that Muse Straws are made of the finest
braids tells only part of thei r history.
The most skilled fingers have shaped and worked for
endurance, form and finish.

FISH FLEW THRO’ PORTHOLE;
OFFICER IS KNOCKED SENSELESS
New York, July 24.—The German
freight steamer Baker came Into port
today from Jamaica with the champion
fish story of the season. Duly entered
on the log; of the ship Is this legend:
"Second Officer Ritter was washing
his face at the washstand In his state
room off the Florida coast Sunday
right when he was knocked senseless
by a two-foot flying fish which came
like a thunderbolt through the open
port hole, ten feet above the water line.
"Mr. Ritter's condition was not dis
covered until a seaman went to call
him to go on watch.
“The (lying fish had crushed Its own
skull by flying about the state room
after having entered the port hole. It
made a fine meal at the officers' mess,
Mr. Ritter quickly recovered."

That one of the efforts of the antl-
prohlbltlonista to Influence the vote In
the assembly Is based on Information
which Is entirely misleading, Is shown
by the Investigation of Seantor Deen.
He finds that of ten reported govern
ment whisky licenses In one "dry”
county, nine are not whisky licenses,
but licenses to sell cigars and oleo
margarine.
The antl-prohlbltlonlsts sent to each
senator and representative last night
a circular detailing the number of liq
uor licenses Issued by the government
In 82 dry counties of Georgia. The
author of the circular alleges to have
found 422 national licenses to sell liq
uor In these 82 dry counties.
The circular, of course, was publish
ed as an evidence that prohibition does
not prohibit.
Senator George W. Deen, of the Fifth
district, from Waycross, seeing that
M are, his county, was accredited with
ten of these licenses, sent his secreta
ry to the Internal collector’s office
Wednesday morning to find out who
had government licenses to sell liquor
In his county, which prohibits liquor
selling by high licenses. After going
over the entire record. Jdr. Deen's sec

house reconsider Its action In passing
the bill repealing the act creating the
city court of Hamilton In Harris
county.
Mr. Hines then secured the floor and
at 9:20 o’clock began speaking on his
motion. As a part of his speech he
read the bill repealing the act creat
ing the city court of Hamilton.
luring the course of his speech Mr.
l.-ncs was Interrupted by Mr. Wright,
of Floyd, who asked If the gentleman
from Baldwin Intended to vote against
the bill.
"I am not prepared to say until I
confer with the author," declared Mr.
Harris.
"Is It not your purpose to defeat the
reading of senate bill No. 1 a third
time?" naked Mr. Wright.
"Should 1 answer the gentleman that
It Is I do not see that it Is material to
the gentleman from Floyd.” replied
Mr. Hines.
Will you answer whether that Is. or
not your purpose?” usked Mr.
Wright.
”1 have answered the question,” re
plied Mr. Hines.
Refuses To Answer.
The gentleman refuses to answer,”
said Mr. Wright.
Mr. Wright then rose to a point of
order and demanded that the epenker
rule upon the question of whether Ir
relevant debate should be permitted,
and called upon him to decide the ap
plicability of rule No. 1, which gives
the speaker the right to suspend Ir
relevant debate.
Mr. Wright enforced his point of
order by declaring that he should shut
oft Irrelevant debate when the evident
purpose of It was to block legislation.
Mr. Hall, of Bibb, declared that he
was opposed to Invoking rule No. 1.
"It puts the speaker In a delicate po
sition.” declared Mr. Hall. "I saw It
Invoked once and a riot nearly result
ed on the floor of this house.
Mr. Hall's Position.
“I am not In sympathy with the
movement to prevent this bill from
coming up, and shall vote ro bring It
up for passag*.
“It this rule can't be Invoked and
three-fourthi of the members of this
house can't be protected from the fili
bustering of one-fourth, how are they
to be protected?" asked Mr. McMIchael
of Marlon.
"I am not here to answer that ques
tlon,” said Mr. Hall, "but 1 will say
(hat If three-fourths of this house
can't legislate against one-fourth they
ought not to legislate.”
Mr. Dunbar, of Richmond, then spoke
upon the question raised by Mr.
Wright.
"The gentleman from Baldwin has
not been Irrelevant In his argument,"
said he. “This motion to reconsider
this blit Is just as much In order ns
any other business before this house,
and there Is no reason or excuse for
Invoking this rule until It Is shown
that the gentleman from Baldwin has
been Irrelevant."
Spesksr’s Ruling.
Speaker Slaton then ruled that the
argument of the gentleman from Bald
win had not been Irrelevant.
"The chair has closely followed the
speech of the gentleman,” sold Speaker
Slaton, "and there has been no repetl
tlon or Irrelevancy. Should there be
any, the chair will Immediately take
notice of It."
The gentleman from Baldwin wai
again recognised, and he resumed ar
gument os to why the act creating the
city court of Hamilton should be re
considered.
At 10:33 o'clock Mr. Hines conclud
ed and Mr. Nix, of Gwinnett, moved
the previous question.
Upon the call for the previous ques
tion Mr. Dunbar called fpr the "ayes”
and "nays.” The call was sustained
by a vote of 44 to 105.
8oms New Tactics.
Mr. Adams, of Chatham, arose to
take three minutes In which to explain
his vote. When his'time expired he
had not concluded his explanation, and
Mr. Barrow, of Chatham, moved that
the time be extended ten minutes.
Upon the vote on the motion Mr. Bar-
row called for the "ayes” and "noes"
and the cell was sustained by a vote
of 30 to 112.
When Mr. Adams' name wui railed
on the second question he again arose
to explain hla vote:
Mr. Candler, of DeKalb, raised the
point of order that the bouse was vot
ing on a question which concerned the
gentleman from Chathnm personally,
i.nd that he had no right to either vote
or speak on the question.
The point of order was sustained by
the speaker.
When Mr. Barrow, of Chatham, arose
to explain his vote on the motion, his
three minutes expired before he con
cluded.
Mr. Adams, of Chatham, then moved
that the time of his colleaguo be ex
tended'to 10 minutes and Mr. Dunbar
called for the "ayes" and "noes."
The call wus sustained by a vote of
39 to 112.
The vote was begun, when Mr.
Wright, of Floyd, rose to the point of
order that no motion could be made
following the call for the previous
question.
Tho speaker held that no vote hod
been taken on the call for the previous
question and that he was bound by
precedent to recognise any motion that
■night be made.
When hts name was called Mr.
Chamblee, of Floyd, arose to explain
his vote.
Mr. Slade, of Muscogee, moved that
the gentleman's time be extended ten
minutes.
Upon the motion Mr. Russell, of
Muscogee, called for the “ayes" and
noes."
Monotonous Roll Call.
The col! for the "aytk" and "noes"
was sustained by a vote of 33 to 106.
Mr. Wright, of Floyd, again made
the point of order that rule 65 of the
house forbids the making of another
motion when the vote Is pending on
the motion for* the previous question,
and he again asktd that the speuker so
rule. He Insisted that the language of
the rule was clear and that the speaker
should not be bound by precedent.
While Mr. Wright was speaking ho
was hissed by some one In the gallery.
"I have heard snakes hiss before,"
exclaimed Mr. Wright, "and we will not
yield on this question, regardless of all
filibustering that may be done.”
Mr. Dunbar, of Richmond, spoke In
support of the speaker's resolution.
He declared that Mr. Wright had
made a threat against the speaker.
“Will Not Be Dominated."
"I must not be misquoted," exclnlmed
Mr. Wright, as he sprang to hla feet,
"I made no threat against the speaker,
but what 1 did Intend to say was that
we do not Intend to be dominated by
you and your colleagues."
Mr. Hines, of Baldwin, and Mr. Hull,
of Bibb, supported the speaker In his
original ruling on the question that
rule 65 was not applicable.
Mr. Wise, of Fayette, declared that
the rule In question was very speclllc
end that according to his Interpreta
tion of It no motion could be enter
tained pending the vote on the motion I
for the previous question.
Mil Hall, of Bibb, called attention to
rule 31, which says that any member
may he allowed more than three min
utes in which to explain his vote by n
vote of the house.
Wright Wins Point,
After listening to considerable argu
ment Speaker Slaton sustained the
point of order of Mr. Wright, but de-
< la red that It would not offset any mo
tions except the motion to extend the
time of Mr. Ubamblee. of Floyd, be
cause the point of order was not raised
at the proper time.
The clerk then called the roll on the
ote to extend the time of Mr. Bar-
row, of Chutham.
The motion to extend Mr. Barrow's
time from three minutes to ten wus
lost by a vote of 139 to 30.
Antis 8how Weaknsss,
The result of the voting showed that
the antl-prohlbltion forces were weak
ening and efforts were at once made to
coral the absent members.
Following the defeat of the motion to
extend Mr. Harrow's time, the roll wn*
then called on the motion to extend
the time of Mr. ademi from three to
ten minutes.
Upon the motion to extend the time
of Mr. Adaihs. of Chatham, the vote
was 127 to 31, end the motion was lost.
