4 HOUSE WAITS ON FIGHTING SENATE End of Session of Congress In definitely Delayed by States Claims Dispute. WASHINGTON. Aug 26.- A plan nf campaign was evolved by member* of the houee early today tn put the ques tion of adjournment squarely up to the senate. The plan, ft is said, included an .agreement b.v house members that after today no question of a quorum shall be raised and that a speaker pro tern, shall be designated to call the house to order every two or three days, permitting most of the members to leave, and to conduct business along this line until the senate gets tired of staying here. This plan was unofficially circulated among the members of the senate To day- the senators from Virginia, Oregon Maryland and Texas appeared to be Just as firm in their determination to fight adjournment until the claims of thetr states are restored to the general deficiency bill as they were Saturday night. Senators l.aP’ollette and Pen rose were prepared to stand by their fight No Overtures to Senate Representative I’nderwood today an nounced that no overtures would be made to the senate with regard to the deficiency appropriation bill or a set tled date of adjournment. “So far as the house Is concerned." said he. "thg general deficiency' hill is out of their hands and on the way to the [.resident. If lhe senate Insists on amendments to this bill which have no right to bi in it. the house can not be held responsible We are prepared to stand until the senate shall send word that it desires a further conference on this i Congressman Fitzgerald declared to day the house would never yield. Speak er Clark is of the opinion that the house will meet the compromise. In this event the deficiency bill probably’ will be passed In February. 1913. In anticipation that the senate might recede, the general deficiency bill, minus the $606.0110 state claims, which have been the cause of the fight,, was en grossed today, so that within a few minutes It can be forwarded to Presi dent Taft. Taft ,Swelters and Waits. The first train north leav ing Washington after congress adjourns will carry President Taft toward Beverly. That's all any one here knows today about the time the chief executive would leave for Massa chusetts. The adjournment of con gress was than a very much unknown quantity, and Taft felt that he could not leave whlh the national legislature was in session. Washington today is In the throes of the summer's hottest spell. To add to the president's discomfort was the fact that all of Mr. Taft's summer clothes had been sent to Beverly, and he spent yesterday and today in woolens In stead of the flannels or crash he is ac customed to wear. In addition, the knowledge that it was costing him s2<)n a day for his private car held ready for immediate use and the provisions to stock it did not add to the president’s comfort. • FATHER’S SKIN IS GRAFTED ON SON’S BURNED LEG NEW YORK, Aug. 26. —David P. Condon, a fireman of Tompkinsville. Ftaten Island, is In the Smith infirmary on Staten Island and next him lies his five-year-old son David. On the child's left leg are some 40 inches of his fa ther's skin grafted there after an op eration performed by Drs. A H Thom. »» and Charles Cruger last Monday. The boy burned his leg six weeks ago playing with a box of matches. Condon went to fire headquarters last week and told Commissioner Johnson that he wanted five days off He had to be urged to give his reasons, but when he did he was told tn take as much time off as he pleased It was said last night that the graft ing had been a success and that both father and son would recover Making the Personal Call —by Wire Telegrams Open the Door Marked “Private" A Western Union DAY LET TER or NIGHT LETTER will convey all the essentials of a per sonal visit at a fraction of the cost and in a fraction of the time. /■'all Intormahon and Rates by Telephone THE WESTERN UNION TELEGRAPH COMPANY SEARCHING SIDELIGHTS ON GEORGIA POLITICS A great many politicians in Georgia are taking the results of Wednesday's primary tn mean, among other things, that the state of Georgia Is pretty well satisfied with the measure of prohibl-. tion. real or Imaginary, it now has, and that immediate efforts, at least. to change the status of thipgs Is going io meet with failure. Whatever of rank dissatisfaction there may be with the present law and its enforcement would seem to have been well rounded up In the vote ac corded Mr. Alexander, Mr Alexander made the prohibition question the paramount issue of his campaign. He based his entry into the fight against Mr. Slaton upon the gov ernor's failure to sign the Tippins bill, after that bill had passed the house and the senate by a two-thirds vote of each house. The gentleman from DeKalb made the Issue plain from one end of Georgia to the other. He pictured w hatever of the horrible there may be in Georgia's present attitude with respect to the prohibition law. He said, with vehe mence. and it was heralded bv the newspapers everywhere, that Georgia was "in a state of anarchy." If any’ man ever was qualified seem ingly to force the issue of prohibition at this particular time, Hooper Alex ander certainly was that man. And yet, on the issue of "Georgia in a state of anarchy,” because of the pro hibition law' as it stands today, Mr. Alexander was able to carry but one lonesome county—and that by the nar rowest sort of margin. His popular vote was something like twenty’ per cent only of the total vote cast. The conclusion that Georgia is not in a state of anarchy seems, therefore, by many to be abundantly warranted. One of the most pronounced and ar dent prohibitionists in Georgia, dis cussing the question of prohibition a few days before the primary, said: "Georgia Is trying out a most inter esting experiment, and I. as a prohibi tionist and temperance man. would like to see it carried to its logical eonclu s lon. "We have abolished the old-fash ioned barroom, where all sorts of heavy drinks'w ere sold, and substituted for it a bar In which only beer Is dispensed, "True, yve know that real beer is sold in these places, and not near-beer,’ so called. But, as a rule, nothing but bee ts sold there. "In one or two big cities the law’ is HILLYER TRUST CO.

There is not a bar In this city that sells anything stronger than beer. "Gradually, I think, the public taste for drink in Georgia is being switched away from wliirky to bee.. "If that be true—and it will take time to demonstrate the truthfulness of the suggestion, to be sure—l think pro hibitionists and temperance advocates may well pride themselves that much good has been accomplished." This Georgian then went on to dis cuss something of the progress of pro hibition and temperance in Georgia, saying: "I am getting to be an old man. I saw. when I was a’boy. barrooms every where.

"It was a great relief to get the bars confined to the towns, and, removed from the rural sections "Gradually, we restricted the bars to the cities. We limited their number, we licensed them high, we regulated their hours "Then we drove them from the small er towns and confined them to large towns “Then we closed all the old-time bars in the cities, and we are now weaning lhe public away’ from its former taste for strong drink, and if we can induce It to confine itself to beer and light wines for a number of years, logically we may hope eventually to get rid of the question entirely. "Certainly we have made most ex cellent progress certainly’ the experi ment we are now undergoing Is prom ising.
