Long Island Sound Steamer
Sinks Schooner With
Crew of Four.
REV. COOK ABANDONS
MISS WHALEY IN CANADA
New York, Aug. 18.—Four men were
drowned and 200 passengers were
thrgwn from their berths In a panic at
an early hour today when the sound
steamboat Tennessee, of the Neptune
line, ran down an unidentified schooner
off Bridgeport, Conn., sinking her with
all on board.
Owing to the fog the Tennessee was
running at reduced speed when sud
denly out of the mist dead ahead of her
loomed a small schooner laden with
rock and lumber also bound for New
York.
The steamboat rammed the lighter
vessel on the starboard bow and she
sank almost Immediately. She had on
board a crew of four men and her ckp-
taln who also was her owner. He was
rescued by a sailor from the steamboat
Maine, of the New Bedford line, which
was near by and steaming Into port.
The four members of the crew were
lost.
BdND FORFEITURES
AMOUNT TO $300,000;
WILL BE COLLECTED
Bpwtal to The Georgian.
Huntsville, Ala., Aug. 11.—An action
that will probably be the means of
adding $300,000 to the United States
treasury from the collection of old
judgments has been handed down by
Judge Oscar R. Hundley In the United
States court. This money will come
from the pockets of some eight or
nine hundred people In Northern Ala
bama.
During the last fifteen or twenty
years a large number of unpaid judg
ments and forfeitures taken against
bondsmen of defendants who have
failed to appear for trial have accum
ulated on the dockets of the federal
court of the Northern district. Re
cently the department of Justice gave
Instructions to the district attorney to
look up all these cases and proceed
with their collection. The first test
case Involving the questions at Issue
was that of the United States vs. J.
T. Nbojln. An execution had been Is
sued against Noojln on a Judgment
rendered In 1S82.

Sentiment In the seriate Is crystalliz
ing against the house amendment to
the general tax act, which fixes a tax
of $300 on social clubs keeping lockers
for Intoxicants.
The senate leaders are against the
amendment. Senator Hardman, au
thor of the prohibition bill, ts opposed
to adopting this provision.
"We cannot nfford to take cogni
zance of the liquor business In any
form,”- he said Monday. "We havo
prohibition tn fine shape, and to adopt
thla clab tnx amendment, to my mind,
lets down the gap.”
Senator Hardman favors striking out
the nmendment altogether, and leaving
conditions alone.
Senator John P. Knight, chairman of
the senate temperance committee, and
floor leader on the prohibition bill, la
unalterably opposed to the adoption
of the amendment to the general tax
act licensing club lockers at $300.
"1 cannot Imagine what the house
leaders were thinking about to let
that sort of thing get by them," he
said. "It is a bad policy to pass an
act that, to my mind, will nullify tho
whole purpose of the prohibition bill,
by making possible and legalizing blind
tigers.
"It Is my opinion that under that
club amendment It will be posslblo
for anybody to establish clubs and con
duct a liquor business. I shall fight It
with all my power.”
Senator Overstreet, another strong
prohibitionist, fsvors fixing the club
tax at $10,000.
“That will knock them out," he said.
I think It would be foolish In this
body to acespt an amendment that
would seriously cripple the prohibition
bill passed."
Representative W. J. Neel, of Bar
tow. Joint author with Mr. Covington,
of the house prohibition blit, doubts
the wisdom of the amendment.
"I was not present when that amend
ment was adopted,” said Mr. Neol. "If
I had been In the house I should have
opposed It. While I do not have the
npprehcnslonA concerning Its effects
entertained by some of the strongest
prohibitionists, at the same tlmo I
not think we can afford to recognlzo
the business In any manner, shape or
form."
Tho Holder bill creating a bank bu
reau In the state treasury department,
providing for a bank examiner and as
sistants nnd requiring all banks to sub
mit books and papers to such exam
iners. passed the senate Monday morn
ing by a unanimous vote.
When the bill was called up for ac
tion Senator Hawes, a banker, apoko
strongly for the measure. He said that
he opposed any amendments, becauso
the bill had been defeated In the past
by loading It with amendments near
the close of the session.
Senator Felder said the bill ought to
be amendod, but that he would not
offer any because he desired the bill
to pus at this session. Faults could
bo corrected at another session. ■
Senators Knight, Steed and Wilkes
spoke for the measure. Senator Wilkes
said he hod no stock or money In any
bank, but that one had several of his
notes. He therefore favored any bill
that would help the banks.
Under this bill the state bank ex
