Joe Hill Hall is the author of a substitute for the Hardman-Covlngton prohibition bill, which will be put on Us passage Tuesday, this substitute having been offered in the house on Thursday morning. The bill permits the sale of spiritu ous, vinous and malt liquors in sealed packages, but throws many restrictions and safeguards around the concession. It Is provided In the bill that It shall not become effective until January, 1909. The commissioner of agriculture Is to Issue the license only after the appli cant has secured th*» signatures of 200 freeholders who wish him to have the license. It Is to be issued on payment of $2,000 per annum, and the applicant must give bond of $1,500 to preserve the law. No sale, the bill provides, shall be for less than one pint or more than three gallons, and no drinking Is to be permitted on the premises. A further provision Is that a record of the sales made shall be kept, including the name of the purchaser, the quantity and the quality of the liquor, and the price paid, Nothing is to bo sold on credit. The place of sale is to be kept open from 6 a. m. until 6 p. m. The bill will probably receive about one-tlfth of the votes of the house—all that are now and have been opposed to the Hardman-Covlngton bill. INDIAN GIRLS WITH RIFLES GUARD ANCESTORS' GRA VES h M.
