REFERENDUM CLAUSE IN TIPPINS BILL Anti-Near-Beer Measure is the Special Order In the House for Next Monday. SENATE DEMANDS PROBE OF STATE HEALTH BOARD Smith Adherents Scent Plot to Oust Former Governor’s Education Board. Ths Georgia senate today adopted the Beauchamp resolution to investigate the state board of health, postponed the hearing of a resolution calling on the governor to return appointments made t by Governor Smith and which did not ; meet the Senate’s approval, and got i down to routine businee*. The house set the Tippins anti-near- ! beer bill for a special order on July 1, * as predicted in The Georgian yester- | day, and an amendment will be offered | submitting the bill, if passed, to a vote of the' people tn October. It received | a bill providing that women shall have j the right to practice law in Georgia, a j bill to create a speota! department of i Insurance, and passed a bill hanging i over from last year appropriating $250 ) for a book case In the pension commit- • sioner's office, which required a half I hour of the house’s time. It adjourned j shortly after 12 o'clock. The Tippins bill, which promises the principal fight of the session, will be taken up next Monday. Two hours will be given each side for debate, and on the next morning at 10:30 o’clock the previous question will be called and the vote taken. Representative Adams, of Hall coun ty. will endeavor to amend the bill to make it meet the. approval of Governor Brown, who has stated that he would veto any change in the existing prohi bition law which is not first submitted to the people. His amendment pro vides for a referendum at the next state election, the governor to approve it only In case the voters favor ft. There has been serious doubt expressed as to the constitutionality of submitting a statute to public vote after its passage, and a hot fight is expected on the amendment, which might result in throwing the law out under a supreme court test. Smith Men Scent Plot in Appointees. Smith adherents in the state senate scent a plot tq, oust the former gov ernor's appointees on the board of edu cation. They are fearful if the Brown forces are victorious in the fight over the Sheppard resolution scheduled now for Tuesday, July 9, that Governor Brown will reappoint the members of the newly created state board of edu cation. This situation developed today more or less definitely through statements made by several of Senator Smith’s ac credited followers in the senate. Brown men. they asserted, were by no means satisfied with the personnel of the state board and would take this op portunity to effect a change. It will be up to the senate to decide on legal grounds if the appointees on the educational board, along with the directors of the Augusta Medical col lege fall strictly under Smith’s uncon firmed appointments. AU of these were originally appointments made under acts passed at the last session of the legislature. Os the educational board but one member was named by Governor Brown.

Following action by the board of trus tees and medical board of Grady hospital. Dr. W. B Summerall. the superintendent, today prepared a statement regarding conditions in rhe hospital, showing the evidence,, and facts on which the two boards based their exoneration of the hospital system, and showirig that the criticism of the food and charge of "overwork” were unwarranted.
