FILIBUSTER OVER PROHIBITION BILL ON IN HOUSE; MINORITY WOULD DEFY THE WILL OF THE PEOPLE SECOND III E Organized Effort to De lay Proves a Failure. TWO LENGTHY BILLS AND LONG TALKS Wright Declares Bill Bust Be Read or Stay Until Midnight. At 2:45 o’clock Mr. Cand ler’s motion to suspend the rules and read the prohibi tion bill the second time pre vailed by a vote of 78 to 17. Shortly after 2 o’clock the house, by a vote of 107 to 12, sustained the chair on Rep resentative Blackburn’s ap peal from a decision, thus voting against an adjourn ment before the prohibition bill could be read a second time. The house continued in session. Mr. Heard, of Dooly, moved to adjourn. Seaborn Wright sprang to his feet and amended this motion to adjourn for two minutes, if any adjournment was taken. He made an impassioned ap- ? ieal to the house not to vote or any adjournment until the prohibition bill had been read. "There is an organized ef fort by one-fourth of this house to defeat this bill,” said Mr. Wright. He urged the old men to rally to the prohibition ranks. "We will fight it out to the end, so help us God,” he concluded. The prohibition fight Is on in the low- «r house of the general assembly of Georgia. The first gun was fired Friday morn ing. when an organised effort to pre vent the second reading of the Hard man senate prohibition hill cropped out shortly after the house was called to order. Blnce senate bills can be read In the Douse a second time only on Mondays •Ml Fridays. It was understood by every member that the prohibition bill now ponding In the house would be read a *prond time Friday, after the call of the roll of counties for the Introduction of new matter. With this end In view, and In order to save time, Mr. Wright, of Floyd, nfked unanimous consent to dispense * ith the call of the roll and that all new DiHs "be sent to the clerk's desk now. That arrangement suited the house •nd a number of new bills were sent up. Things moved along quietly for about °ne hour and the house did nothing but to the reading of these bills the first time. . Uut In the meantime two bills had Deen sent to the clerk's desk, which. If taken page by page and laid side by •Ide, would have reached half way round the c&pitol yard and then laid a f*w feet over on the sidewalk. v One of these bills was Introduced Dy Messrs. Barrow and Adams, of Chatham, and provided for a uniform law for warehouse receipts. It consist- *1 of forty-two pages of printed matter In pamphlet form. The authors are op- po«ed to the prohibition bill. % The other bill .was Introduced by Messrs. Hines, Slade and Dunbar and provided for a uniform law with refer* *nc« to the sale of goods. It was also In printed pamphlet form •nd consisted of 68 pages. Then Mr. Wright, of Floyd, got busy. He arose to the point of order that D* bad Included the word -now- In his unanimous consent and that the time £°r Introducing new bills had expired J^fore those "pamphlets." as he termed tn»m. were sent to the clerk's desk. He declared that they were Intro- FILIBUSTERING HAS BEGUN. The filibustering has begun. In fulfillment of its promise to keep them advised as to the fortunes of the Hardman-Covington State Prohibition bill, The Georgian wishes to say to the friends of prohibition throughout Georgia that the anticipated filibustering is now in full swing against the proposed measure. The bill was due to be read for the second time in the house of represen tatives Friday. The hand of the opposition was shown at once. When the house convened two bills were introduced that carried with them printed booklets re quiring in the neighborhood of one and one-half hours each to read. As The Georgian goes to press the clerk is still reading them, while no one listens, and the prohibition bill has to wait. The opposition tried to adjourn the house at 1 o’clock, but the cham pions of prohibition would not let them, and like men they vow they will die in their seats before they shall see their measure crowded out. Hon. Seaborn Wright, chairman of the temperance committee and leader on the floor of the house for the prohibition forces, is making a grand fight—one that cannot fail of triumphant success if the friends of prohibition stand solidly behind him. Already the prohibitionists have carried the day on the only test of strength made. They defeated overwhelmingly the effort to adjourn. So will they defeat every adverse movement and shortly and swiftly carry their meas ure through if they will stand to their guns. Follow your leader, gentlemen, is The Georgian’s advice to you—fail ure to support him in every move will place the responsibility on you individ ually. “Let the dead bury their dead”—let your family suffer sickness, if neces sary, but never leave your seat till your leader consents. This is a crucial moment which must soon he passed successfully if an unbroken front is presented to the enemy. Forget differences of opinion—for get your own idea or choice of methods. Move as one man, and— BE OF GOOD CHEER—VICTORY AWAITS YOU! OF Members Deny That Directors Represent Sentiment. HEAT KILLS 50 PERSONS; THOUSANDS PROSTRATED New York, July 19.—Thursday, July . will be known os Death Day In this city. .

July 1».—In the wake of the marching Elka yesterday came the most terrible harvest of heat pros- trations the city has ever known. Over 3,000 men and women toppled over In the streets, as the withering sun beat down upon their heads. Hospitals were swamped. Men and women had to be treated In the streets, under stands, In wagons, In stores, or any place where they could bs han dled. Police Surgeon Patterson estimated this morning that the day's victims numbered 3,147. The bulk of these cases were of people who fell over exhausted, and In the number are also Included the trivial accidents of the day. Probably as many mors went to their homes without a record being kept of their cases. The reports from all over the city last night showed that two had died as a result of the heat.

' Denying that the resolution! of eeven membere of the board of director! of the Chamber of Commerce asking that the prohibition bill be made effective January, 1909, represents tho sentiment of the entire body, or even n majority of It, eighteen membere Friday morn ing met nnd drew up resolutions chal lenging the seven directors to call a meeting for the purpose of a "show down."

They met In executive session and, niter much discussion, gnve out the resolu tions, as a hoard, hut without their per sonal signatures. iVhon asked who wns present, Secretary Cooper courte ously slated that he hull been author ized only to glvo out tho resolutions as typew rltt.,11. Mr, Calloway’s Protest Inquiry, however, developod tho fact that the vote etood 7 to 1, E. C. Callo way being the only one to etand out against the pnssage of the resolutions. He talked for half nn hour, stating that ths directors had no right to pass the resolution, ns they were supposed to represent some 600 people of various opinions. The seven members, how ever, voted for the resolutions. Just before they did this, Secretary Walter Cooper made a brief statement that the sentiment of the Chamber of Commerce upon the prohibition ques tion was rather evenly divided. Prohibitionist membere of the Cham ber of Commerce, of whom there are a ;e number, felt that the organisation l been done an Injustice and decided tdopt resolutions calling for a meet ing. It Is generally believed that It a majority of the members are not In fa vor of prohibition. It Is so close that a full meeting would be required to tell just where the organisation of some 690 members stands on the question. Adopt Resolutions. The resolutions adopted by the eigh teen members Friday morning are as follows: "The undersigned members of the Atlanta Chamber of Commerce, con vlnced that the eeven directors who passed the resolution Indorsing ths uc tlon of the Clearing House Association, hare misstated the position of the Chamber of Commerce on the pending prohlbltoln bill In the Georgia leglela ture, herewith request a meeting of the Chamber to determine whether It will Indorse the action of those directors who committed the Chamber, as wt believe contrary to Its reel will on the matter of prohibition. "The undersigned, who are strong prohibitionists, at ths outset refrained from mixing ths Chamber up In the ■natter out of deference for those who held contrary views, now Insist tha' the action of ths seven directors does not represent the position of the ma jority of tlis Chamber and should not be allowed.to stand.
