HP® BILL BATTLE ON:
LIOUDR MEN ATTACKED;
MIM OPPOSED
Buried beneath a mass of amendments and substitutes, some de
igned to help, others to destroy, the Tippins bill lies on the clerk's
desk in the house of representatives awaiting final disposition un
der a call of the previous question tomorrow morning a 1 1(1:30, as the
conclusion of a vigorous light which began today.
When the house met at 11 o'clock this morning, the Tippins
bill known technically as House Bill No. 2, immediately was read for
the third time and presented to the house for passage.
Following its reading, amendi
quarters poured in.
It was evident that a big tight
was on. and that many members
proposed to take a hand in it. The
attendance upon the house was
large —there were few if any va
cant seats. The galleries carried
the banner crowd of the session
thus far.
Many Amendments
Offered in House.
The Tippins bill, stripped of its legal
pressing, simply provides for strength
ening the prohibition law of the state
by outlawing all substitutes, imita
tions and makeshifts manufactured
»nd sold for the purpose of evading
the prohibition law. generally summed
tip in the term “near-beer.’
The bill provides that no beverage
pro in the elate shall contain more
than one-half of one per cent of alco
hol. either in imitation of beer or medi
cine. and that no imitation of or sub-
Mute for beer shall be sold containing
any quantity of alcohol.
Tie fl- t amendment proposed came
h> way of a substitute introduced by
Mr. Hall, of Bibb. He handed in a long
bii 1 ' providing for “package houses,”
local option restrw't’ons, limited
in towns of 5.000.
following Mr. Hall's substitute came
rn amendment from Mr, Adams, of
Hall, providing for a referendum to
■ c people of the act. after its passage;
anothe from D". Brown, of Fulton,
' 'qiosing that the act should be in
operative in cities of more than 5,000;
a -übstitute from Randolph Anderson,
°f Chatham, providing for a straight
i»s>r "local ontion” act, making' towns
"f :>. f ino and upward the unit of local
ontion. and carrying a provision where
hy licensees should be bonded heavily
not to sell for delivery outside of the
municipalities wherein they might be
permitted to do business; an amend
ment from Mr. Ault specifically ex
cepting patent medicines and physi
cians' prescriptions; another from Mr.
Taylor, of Laurens, substituting in the
biu one and one-half per cent'of alco-
instead of one-half of one per
■ nt. another by Mr. Lee. of Lee, pro
'• fling an amendment to the Anderson
substitute restricting the operations of
!'oi>.ised substitute to beer, ale, stout
anH malt liquors of that kind; another,
'a final amendment, from Mr. Pickett,
f Pickens:, specifically including in
'■■•on- prohibited in the Tippins bill
1 persons operating, either directly
indirectly, so-called "locker clubs.”
Amendments Have Little
Chance of Passage.
rhe real fight is centered around the
f’pnins bill, pure and simple.
" on' of the amendments, save the
’■ providing for a referendum to the
r;Pn ple, and p er hapg the one specifically
Muling “locker clubs” in the list of
'aohihitrd persons, stands any chance
of being adopted.
1 by one they will be voted down,
tnc’ the question of the Tippins bill,
without the referendum clause
'ItI. will come to the house for sei-
Heinent.
' fight for the bill is being eio-
TTtitiv and effectively fed by Repre
■•"tativp Hooper Alexander, of De-
1 he opposition is being led by
‘ p c-entative Randolph Anderson, of
“ 'lmm, U pon the plea of his “local*
substitute. The Issue is being
'"ml,, ciean-eut.
Alexander Attacks
Violators of Law.
ho" opened debate in an
1 speech, in which he vehemently
q* ~' ” ,t,e violators of the prohibi-
1 “ and undertook so show how
,’sage of the Tippins bill will
~ " "lUeh more difficult for vlola-
~Q h» to take place.
" general opinion is that the bill
I with a whoop and by a tre-
, P , ls majority, notwithstanding the
II Hl and proposed legislative Im-
Put in its way by its ene
has been conceded for a long
pj, , " fbe bill is to become a law,
■ delay In passing It has been
ed more by a willingness of its
tients and substitutes from many
friends to let Its enemies go on record
than otherwise.
Acute interest attaches to the pro
posed referendum clause. If it is add
ed, the governor is expected to sign the
law. if it is not added, he is expected
to veto it.
The impression exists that the clause
will not be added. If it is, it likely
will be by a close vote. Pf it is not
added and the governor vetoes the act,
that will precipitate an even harder
fight than the present one. for the ene
mies of the bill believe confidently that
it will be impossible to pass it over the
governor s veto. Its more ardent cham.
pions maintain, however, that the bill
will become a law eventually, even over
the veto of Governor Brown, if it is
interposed.
Under an agreement already ratified
by the house, the Tippins bill must
come up for final disposition tomorrow,
on a call on th'e previous question, at
10:30 o'clock.
At that time the hopes of the more
ardent prohibitionists of Georgia will
be given a big boost by the house, for it
will pass, the Tippins bill vociferously.
After being disposed of by the house
the bill will go immediately to the sen
ate. where another effort will be made
to block it, but with little promise of
success. Its friends say it will have at
least 31 votes in the senate and prob
ably 40. The former would be insuffi
cient to pass it over the governor’s veto
the latter would be more than suffi
cient.
County Unit Plan
To Elect Senators.
Representative J. O. Adams, of Hail,
introduced a bill in the house today
providing for the county unit system in
all primary elections held in Georgia
for the nomination of United States
senators.
Mr. Adams' bill provides that the
legislature, in seeking to determine
who shall be voted for for senator,
shall consider the names of such can
didates only as have been voted for ii;
such county unit primary. The bill
also provides that in the event of a
vacancy in the senate following a sen
atorial primary and pending a session
of the legislature, the governor shall
appoint to the vacancy the nominee of
said primary, provided not more than
one party primary shall have been held.
This bill undoubtedly was an out
come of the state Democratic execu
tive committee's action of Saturday,
calling a popular plurality senatorial
primary for August.
The Western and Atlantic commis
sion measure, sponsored by Senator W.
J. Harris and passed by the legislature
the last session, but vetoed upon con
stitutional grounds by former Governor
Hoke Smith, will be given another
chance by the genera! assembly.
A resolution, providing for a stand
ing commission of three from the sen
ate and five from the house, to hold
office until all the leases of the Western
and Atlantic railroad, which expire in
1919. are consummated, went to the
senate today.
Indicating by the unanimity of the
vote that the >ristow amendment to
the Federal constitution providing for
the popular election of United States
senators would undergo some hard
sledding before it passed, if passage
were accomplished at all, the senate
agreed to the Alexander resolution pro
viding a joint committee to investigate
the amendment.
As a result of charges and counter
charges made this fall to the state
printing commission, a bill creating the
office of state printer went to the sen
ate today and, according to the senti
ment in favor of such an office, doubt
leas win pass without serious opposi
tion.
Senator Kight has let the legisla
ture know that he is violently opposed
to the new county mania which seems
to have obsessed the state. He has in
troduced a bill that puts a real crimp
in a lot of the new county-boosters who
are thronging the state capitol.

Freight Trains in Head-End
Collision Between Conyers
and Covington.
COVINGTON, GA.. July 8. — Five
men were injured, one probably fatally,
and a sixth is missing and thought to
be burled under the debris of the wreck
of two freight trains on the Georgia
railroad at Alma, between this, city
and Conyers early today. The injured
are:
Engineer Beazley, back and neck
sprained, face cut and left leg badly
bruised.
Conductor G. D Adams, collarbone
and chest mashed and face cut.
Conductor H. S. Paschall, right arm
broken, right leg badly bruised and
face cut.
Flagman Brake, badly bruised;
A negro brakeman, skull crushed and
body badly bruised. He is unconscious
and is not expected to live.
George Jackson, a negro brakeman,
is missing and thought to be under the
wreckage.
The third section of eastbound
freight train No. 34 crashed head-on
into westbound freight No. 14, just aft
er the latter had pulled out of the Alma
siding onto the main line. It is said
the crew of the second section of No.
34 failed to notify the crew of No. 14
that a third section was following.
Conductor Adams and Engineer Beaz
ley were In charge of No. 14. Engine
crews of both trains jumped. All but
Engineer Beazley escaped unhurt. Ho
was struck by flying timbers as the
trains crashed together.
The injured trainmen were brought
to Covington, the four white men be
ing under treatment in a local hotel.

ger trains are making transfers. The
two freight engines and eight cars

YANKEES SET
MORE NEW
OLYMPIC
MARKS
Richards Makes Record at
High Jump and Meredith in
800-Meter Run.
GREEK BROAD JUMPER
DEFEATS YANKEE STAR
Relay Team From This Side
Makes Best Time, But Is
Disqualified.
Ry MICHAEL J. MURPHY.
(Trainer of the American Team at
Stockholm.)
STOCKHOLM. July B.—One of the
most remarkable athletic feats ever
witnessed thrilled the thousands at
tending the International Olympic
games this afternoon when Americans
took first, second and third places In
the final of the SOO-nieter event. Thus
they duplicated their feat of yesterday
when three Yankees dashed home In
first, second and third places in the
final of the 100 meters.
Three American runners broke the
world’s record for the 800-meter dis
tance and a German runner equaled
it. The summary of the 800 meters:
First. J. E. Meredith, of the Mer
cersburg. Pa.. Athletic Club, 1 minute
51 9-10 seconds.
Second, Melvin Sheppard, of the
Irish-American Athletic club. 1 min
ute 52 seconds.
Third. Ira N. Davenport, of the Chi
cago university, 1 minute 52 seconds;
Braun, of Germany, 1 minute 52 1-5
seconds.
The old record for the distance was
1 minute 52 1-2 seconds, made by
Sheppard, in London, four years ago.
This race was by far the most sen
sational event of the games. It gave
the American team enough points to
equal the points of all the other na
tions combined.
New Record in
High Jump,
The running high jump was won by A.
W. Richards, of Brigham Young uni
versity, at 6 feet 3 3-4 inches, beating
the old record by 3-4 inch.
American athletes are now the over
whelming favorites in the fifth annual
renewal of the Olympic games. Tlie
ease with \thich they swept the boards
in the sprints and 500-meter run was a
revelation to the followers of athletics,
and as a result Americans anxious to
bet on their team are unable to place
wagers of any magnitude.
What few bets were made installed
the Americans as favorites with the
odds at 4 or 5 to 1.
American athletes went down in de
feat in tlie first event of the third day’s
contest of the Olympic games. This
was the standing broad jump, which
was won by Tsicletras. a Greek ath
lete. He jumped a distance of 3.37 me
ters.
Despite their defeat in the standing
broad jump, however, tjie Americans
were cheered when notified that their
swimming team's protest against the
action taken in the 100-meter semi
finals yesterday had been sustained by
the international jury. The race will
be re-swam before the termination of
the games and the Americans are con
fident that in this they will capture at
least three points.
Through some misunderstanding,
three men who had qualified for the
semi-finals —Kahanamoku. McGillivray
and Hussagh—did not appear for the
semi-finals when they were swam off.
In the trial heat Kahanamoku had
broken the world’s record.
U. S. Relay Team
Swiftest in Trial.
America, Canada, England, Sweden,
Germany and Hungary qualified in the
trial heats for the 400-meter relay race.
The American team, made up of Ira J.
Courtney, Seattle Athletic club; F. E.
Belote, Chicago A. A.; Clement P. Wil
son, Coe college, lowa, and Carl (,’.
Cook, Cleveland, covered the distance
in 43 3-4 seconds. The record for in
dividual competition at this distance is
49 1-5 seconds.
After a long dispute the American
team waa disqualified because of Be
lote’s passing the stick to Wilson out
side of the boundary set by the rules
committee. This occurred in the semi-
Continued on Pago Two.
BASEBALL AND RACING
TWENTIETH GfflE
GOES WRONG
FORM
Giving up but five hits, and beating
Rube Marquard today in his twentieth
game, Lavender, a product of Georgia,
gave up but file hits, and held the
Giants to one run. On the other hand,
the Cubs batted out ten hits for seven
runs off Marquard and Tesreau. six of
the runs being scored while the Rube
was on the firing line.
Marquard has taken part in twenty
games this season, winning nineteen of
them. The most remarkable part of
this record is the fact that they were
won right from the start of the season.
Equally as long runs have been accom
plished in other days and by other
pitchers, but it was after they had got
ten into "midseason form."
Strenuous Four Days
In Sight This Week for
Crackers and Guests
Eight games in four days—weather
permitting.

Due to rains and tied games, the
Barons are due one postponed game
from last trip and another postponed
game from today, which means that,
double bills will be staged Tuesday
and Wednesday with the elan of Moles,

Thursday and Friday double bills will
be on the program with the Pelicans,
due to ties and rains on their last trip
here. On Saturday but one game will
be played, as both teams will leave the
city Saturday night for New Orleans,
where they play Sunday, July 14.
