MARQUARD LOSES TO LAVENDER The Atlanta Georgian I FINAL * * Read For Profit—GEORGIAN WANT ADS—Use For Results VOL. X. NO. 243. 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. THE WEATHER. Forecast: Showers tonight or to- morrow.

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. As hosts to the Barons of Birming ham and the Pelicans of New Or leans that It what the Crackers are up against. 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, worth. 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. RACES ENTRIES. AT SALT LAKE CITY.
