ATLANTA, GA., THURSDAY, JULY 18,1907. PRICE: $ T fDRWHISK Ministers P rotes Against Postpone ment of Law. reply to banks AND CHAMBER Evangelical Association Ex presses Belief That De lay Means Fight. Strong resolutions against the post ponement ot the Hardman-Covlngton bill until 1909 were adopted by the krnngellcat Ministers' Association at a well-attended meeting Thursday morning. The resolutions ore In the nature of a reply to the stand taken by the bunkers and the directors of the Chamber "of Commerce. The Mvangdlca! Association went Into executive session Immediately aft. er It was called to order. After a half hour's discussion a committee was ap pointed to draft the resolutions, which were adopted, ns follows: "Whereas, there’ Is an effort being made to Influence the general assent lily to make a compromise of the pend lng Hardman-Covlngton prohibition bill by the postponement of the oper ation of the bill to January, 1999, therefore be It Urge a Protest. "Resolved, That the Kvangellcal Min isters' Association of Atlunta, repre- (cntlng inure than sixty white congre rations'.tnd a constituency, of thirty thousand people In'the city of Atlanta, urge 9.protest against It. "In opposing anil resisting the propo- Htlon to yield such a compromise, we call the attention of the members of the general assembly and all friends 0; prohibition to the following facts: "1. The proposition originates from the liquor interest and Is a part of the •iitl-pornlbHIon scheme of campaign. “2. It was anticipated by the leaders of the prohibition bill In the legisla ture, and discounted In a public state ment ten days ago. Its real design, so far as the liquor men are concerned. Is It delay and to defeat the manifest will ot the people of Georgia. Claim la Denied. "3. Th! claim that the pending bill will seriously interfere with city lnv provements, and disarrange financial budgets, is entirely met by the denial of tho chairman of the finance commit tee of the present- city council, and many other prominent business men In published statements; by the fact that the time allowed In the bill for nec tary readjustments Is quite sufficient; and by the fact ot which no prohibi tionist should lose eight that a year's txtenslor. of the liquor traffic will cost the people enormously, more In the amount of money Injuriously wasted lor whisky, than any losses in public a venue on account of the liquor tax. 1. The plea that liquor dealers will •utter an alleged confiscation of prop erty on account of Insufficient time to dlipose of their stocks and leases Is entirely answered by the fact that a Prohibition law Is not supposed to be framed for the convenience of those It Intends to put out of business; also that the liquor dealers are quite able to look out for themselves In the time al lowed them by the pending bill, and »l»o that they very well understood the conditions on which: liquor licenses Were granted to them, and that they had no right to base calculations or enter into engagements on licenses conaldcred as permanent properties. Went Time to Flflht. 5. We have the strongest reasons for knowing that the aim and purpose of Hie liquor men In this proposition to extend the privilege of another year to •be liquor traffic Is to give them time •o prepare for a campaign In 1908 for Hie 1 epeal of the prohibition law by the legislature of 1909, and that Instead Ot arranging 10 go out of the business. ** they plead they will bend every en- ersy in arranging to bring Influence *nd money Into Georgia from the enor- Ifous financial resources of the Na tional Liquor Dealers' Association in a X'xar.tlc effort to defeat the Intelli gent. moral majorities by a debauched AUTOS MUST GO SLOW; SENATE PASSES BILL AMENDED BILL HOLDS AUTO’S TO FIFTEEN MILES AN HOUR What the Felder automobile bill provides: Forbids driving autos in built-up portions of Incorporated towns, where houses average less than 150 feet apart, at greater speed than one mile in six minutes. Forbids greater speed on country highways than one mile In four minutes. Provides that automobiles can not be run on any street or high way at greater speed than proper for preservation and safety of public. Act does not In any way effect right of person Injured In person or property, to sue and recover damages from auto owner. Lays stringent regulations on auto drivers to regard rights of per sons riding or driving domestic animals. At a signal from person riding or driving restive domestic animals, autolsts must come to full stop and remain so until danger Is over. All automobiles must have adequate brakes, good horn or bell, and carry from one hour after sunset to ono hour before sunrise a white light In front and red light In rear. The headlight must project light 500 feet ahead of cor. Act Includes automobiles, locomobiles, motor vehicles and all other vehicles propelled otherwise than by muscular power, save electric and steam cars. Violations of act make offenders amenable to section 1089, criminal code. Act does not affect or abridge right of municipalities to regulate auto driving within limits as may see proper. Felder’s Bill Throws Many Restrictions Around Operation of Motor Cars on Street or Road. ARE OUT FOR Fruit Exchange Votes to Support the Bill. BETTER BUSINESS WILL FOLLOW LAW Solid Business Men Adopt Resolutions Indorsing Hardman Bill. The senate passed the Felder auto mobile bill Thursday morning, after a sharp debate on certain points and several amendments which make the bill more rigorous than as first drafted. The section requiring the speed of autos on country roads to be not more than one mile In three minutes was amended to make the speed not more than a mile In four minutes, or fifteen miles an hour. One amendment was Introduced pro viding that every auto driver must stop when he. meets a vehicle containing a woman or child. This was once adopt ed, then reconsidered and lost. Its passage would have put motor' cars practically out of business. The bill was amended to require mo tor cars to carry headlights which would project light 500 feet In front of the car. Two new sections offered by Senator Farmer were added as follows: Soc. 10. On the trial of any suit for dnnmges for Injuries arising to persons property from tho use of any auto- blle m defined by this act, the bur den of proof shall, when the Injury Is proven, be upon the defendant to show that all reasonable care considering tho surrounding circumstances Vika- been used to prevent such Injury, ,■■■■ Sec. 11. The owner,'driver and per son or persons operating or causing to be operated said automobile shall be Jointly and severally liable for any In juries occurring on account of the use of said automobile contrary to law. The bill, as amended, was then pass ed. □ucktown Resolution. The Weaver Ducktown resolution, left suspended In the air Wednesday, wns taken up for consideration, and without discussion adopted. It gives the attorney general full nu. thorlty to act as he deems proper in pressing a final decree In the United states supreme court next October. Address Postponed. Under a previous resolution passed by the general assembly, Dr. A. M Soule, dean of the state agricultural college, was to address the Joint ses sion Thursday evening at 8:30 o'clock, but the house adjourned over to Fri day In order that members might go to Clarkesvllle to attend the corner etone exercises of the district agricul tural school. Senator Hardmanj thorefore. Intro duced a resolution td have Professor Soule address the Joint session on next Monday ovcnlng at 8:30 o’clock, and It was adopted. Although President Akin had con gratulated the senate at the opening of Ithe session upon Its 1 evident desire to attend strictly to business, though the house had slopped business for the day. ■ rather heated debate took place over motion of Senator Flynt to adjourn until Monday morning at 10 o clock.
