800-Meter Race
Talk of City.
There was woe today on board the
Finland, the living quarters of the
American athletes over the absence of
clean linen. The laundry woman who
had contracted to wash the clothing
of the Americans, showed up with the
garments of only a few men and those
were not athletic togs.
The talk of the city today was the
remarkable feat of Ted Meredith yes
terday. who won the thrilling 800-meter
race and smashed the standing Olympic
record. Meredith is hailed as one of
the greatest runners that ever com
peted in an Olympiad. The young
Pennsylvania school boy carrips his
honors modestly and shows a desire to
avoid the fame which his performance
suddenly precipitated upon him. He is
n nly nineteen years of age. United
States Commissioner J. E. Sullivan and
ether Olympic officials, who accompa
nied the American teams, are highly'
Hated at the showing of the Yankee
athletes. They predict that America
"ill prove an easy winner on points.

EXPLOSION WRECKS
ENGLISH COAL PIT;
FORTY MINERS DEAD
NEtyCASTLE-ON-TYNE, ENG
LAND, July 9.—An explosion wrecked
a section of the Gadeby coal pit at
Conisborough, Yorkshire, today. Mine
officials said several hours after the
explosion that the death list would be
more than 40, while others were miss
ing and were believed to be dead in
the shaft.
A squad of relief workers entered
the mouth of the mine, but. could make
little headway because of the presence
of noxious gases. Scenes of pathos
pnd excitement attended the disaster
while the families of the penned up
miners clustered about the pit mouth
imploring that their relatives be res
cued.
At 2 o’clock this afternoon 30 bodies
had been recovered. Many of the
corpses taken out were burned so badly
they could not be identified.
One hundred and fifty miners were
at work in the mine when the explo
sion took place.
Conisborough is the seat of the
Yorkshire mining district in West Rid
ing.
King George visited the colliery yes
terday and was shown through the
plant. The king is the guest of the
Earl of Fltzwilliam at his estate in
Yorkshire.
WEALTH NOR FAMILY
STANDING WILL NOT
SAVE “BLIND TIGERS”
ROME, GA.. July’ 9. —"If any one is
brought before me and convicted of
selling whisky, 1 am going to put him
to work on the public roads, I don’t
care whose son he is. Rich or poor,
the man who violates the prohibition
law must help build roads. I won't al
low him to pay a fine."
Judge John W. Maddox issued this
ultimatum in his charge to the grand
Jury.
Two hundred or more persons were
in the court room when the judge made
his charge and they were startled when
the jurist declared:
"I am going to send the white vio
lator to the gang along with the negro
blind tiger, no matter how prominent
the family from which he comes.”
The judge also rapped the pistol
toter and tidiculed the man who sought
another’s life with a pistol hidden in
his back pocket. “If you are going to
kill a man. carry a shotgun along and
'use that,” he cried.

The Georgian’s guests, who took ad

Detroit and other famous cities, free of
cost, are now in Cincinnati, making the
first stop for a day. They will leave
late this afternoon for Toronto, and go
from there to the falls.
The grim old Union depot was en

when the merry crowd left in the spe

could not go said good-bye at the
'train, filling the station until the time
for the train to leave.
“Oh. yes, I'm going; aren't you?” and
“Yes, I'm going, too!” echoed among
the greetings of those who recognized
friends in the party.
From an hour before train time until
the big special pulled out there was a

friends introduced their friends to oth

TIPPINS BILL,
UNDER FIRE,
NEARS ITS
PASSAGE
Randolph Anderson, Fighting
for Local Option idea, Makes
Attack on Measure.
WOMEN IN GALLERIES
APPLAUD CHAMPIONS
•
House Verdict Expected Today.
Only Locker Club Amendment
Seems to Have Chance.
The fight over the Tippins bill was
resumed In the house of representatives
this morning at 10 o’clock, when Rep
resentative J. Randolph Anderson, of
Chatham, took the floor to answer Rep.
resentative Hooper Alexander’s vehe
ment and vigorous speech in its favor
yesterday.
Mr. Anderson has pending a substi
tute for the Tippins bill, in the form of
a straightaway "local option" proposi
tion, with cities of not less than 5,000
the unit of option. He proposes in his
substitute to bond licensees not to sell
spirits and malt liquors for delivery’
outside of their respective municipali
ties, under penalty of fine or impris
onment and perpetual forfeiture of
their licenses. It was to the merits of
that proposition that Mr. Anderson ad
dressed himself urging it as a solu
tion of a question the Tippins bill never
would reach.
Mr. Anderson’s idea is that the pres
ent state-wide prohibition law has bred
certain conditions that, while they
might be prevented In extreme circum
stances, nevertheless will not be in all
human probability, and confessedly
have not been under its operation thus
far. Mr. Anderson believes that if
certain large cities are to tolerate near
ber saloons and clubs, even in the
knowledge that they may be conducted
in violation of the written and specific
law, and admitting for the argument's
sake that the law might be enforced,
but is not and will not be. it would be
better to give those near-beer saloons
and clubs a genuine cloak of legality,
put them under strict police regulation
and license them at a high rate, rather
than countenance a continuing state of
lawlessness and disrespect for the law,
“Locker Club’’ Clause
Added to the Bill.
Since the close of yesterday’s session,
the conviction has grown more pro
nounced than ever that the bill known
as house bill No. 2, or the Tlplpns bill,
amended In one or two particulars as
originally introduced, surely will pass.
The amendment specifically Including
"locker clubs” in the list of persons,
firms and individuals prohibited un
der the terms of the bill from engag
ing in the sale or manufacture of liquid
concoctions containing more than one
half of one per cent of alcohol likely
will be retained.
The amendment providing for a ref
erendum to the people may or may not
be adopted. Representative Anderson,
who is leading the fight for the advo
cates of the bill, urges that ft be passed
without the referendum amendment,
and he is supposed to voice generally
the attitude of the friends of the bill.
He protests that the question of the
Tippins bill should be put squarely up
to the governor, just as any legisla-
