HOPE Os REVIVING
TIPPINS ACT DEAD
The prevailing opinion among legis
lators and politicians generally. In
cluding many favorable to the measure,
Is that the Tippins bill is dead beyond
hope. The governor’s veto was a fatal
blow to the proposed amendment to the
prohibition law. It can not be passed
over the executive disapproval.
The Tippins bill was put up to the
governor as a sort of challenge, so
many are saying today, and the gov
ernor called the hands of the chal
lengers. In the “show down," the gov
ernor seems to have the better of it.
Observant ones, looking backward
over the two years’ legislative career
of the Tippins bill, effect to see in it a
political football more than a real
statesmanlike proposal designed to
serve the higher purposes of good gov-
E ernment.
Still Some Fight Left.
There is an impression in the minds
of a number of people, favorable to pro
* hibltion, that the Tippins bill has been
designedly manipulated in such wise
as to emba'rass the governor as much
as possible and to "get him in a cor
> njr.”
These people resent what they con
ceive to be a rather questionable pro
; ceedlng, and are openly advising that
■j the governor be sustained for that rea
son, as well as for the specific reasons
set forth in his veto.

NEAR RIO JANEIRO
RIO JANEIRO, BRAZIL, Aug. I.
At least 100 persons were killed and
twice that number injured in a collision
between two suburban passenger trains
on the Central Brazilian railload last
night. News of the disaster reached
here today.
The trains, filled with passengers, met
head-on while rounding a curve. The
heavier of the two trains plowed half
way through the other and almost im
mediately the wreckage caught fire.
Many of the injured will die and rail
road officials here express the fear that
it will prove the worst railroad disaster
Brazil has ever suffered.
A mistake in orders caused the
crash.
