BILL TO ENFORCE
WEBB LAW IS
DEFLATED
Senate, 22 to 18, Votes Down
Searcy Liquor Measure—Call
ed Blind Tigers’ Aid.
A temporancv battle, with Senat jr
W. E. H. Searcy’s bill making pur
chasers and nellers of blind tlge-
whisky equally guilty as the storm
center, <ievelor>ed in the Senate Fri
day, After more than an hour of dis
cussion, in which President Randolph
Anderson twice rescued the bill by
aligning himself with Senator Sear
cy’s forces, the bill was defeated by a
vote of 22 to 18, after an amendment
offered by Senator Sweat, which pro
vided that the provisions of the bill
do not apply to purchasers of whisltv
for the purpose of securing evidence,
liad been lost by n vote of 20 to 10.
Senator G. Y. Harrell started the
fight against the bill, declaring that
Jt would be more of an aid to the
operation of blind tigers than a pre
ventive.
Called Aid to Blind Tigers.
"The caption of the bill should b'
change^ to read. ‘A bill to promote
the interests of blind tigers.’ he said.
•'The passage of this bill would abso
lutely destroy all chances of getting
evidence against blind tigers. Th ’
■best and most common method of
apprehending the sellers of whisky *s
to send a decoy to purchase the liquor
■with marked money. If you make
this decoy a criminal, he will keen his
mouth shut and no evidence can be
obtained.’*
* Senator Stark made a long speech
in favor of the bill, In which he de
clared that it was directed against
the agent of the blind tiger and the
traveling blind tiger, rather than
against the actual user of the whisky.
Senator Hule, In explaining his ac
tion in voting aaginst the bill, said:
"Voting for this bill would place
me in the ranks of the fool prohibi
tionists. and 1 am not that kind of a
prohibitionist!”
Searcy Defend* His Bill.
"If 1 am a fool for supporting the
bill,” retorted Senator Searcy, the
author of the measure, a few min
utes later, “I am a fool for Christ’s
Bake!”
Senator Searcy’s faction forced ac
tion on the bill by voting down thrcs
motions designed to delay action on
the measure. Senator Harrell’s mo
tion that action be postponed Indefi
nitely was voted down almost unani
mously. The vote on Senator Mc
Neill’s motions that the bill be tabl*!
and that action be postponed until
Monday were a tie, but the bill was
paved each time by President Ander
son, who voted against the motions.
Senator Tarver’s bill, giving power
to the State Railroad Commission to
order the erection of a union station
in towns where two or more railroads
entered, was passed b the Senate,
with amendments which Senator Tar
ver said were acceptable to the rail
road interests.
Railroads Get Safeguards.
These amendments provided that
the Commissioners’ order should
be given with “due regard to the
finances of the railroads." and that
the stations should be erected "where
practicable and in the interest of the
public and the railroad companies ’
Two bills that are considered im
portant were introduced Into the Sen
ate Friday. One, by Senators Sweat.
Converse, Rushin. Taylor. Watt and
Tyson, provides for the removal of
the Georgia Experiment Station to a
point in South Georgia, and for the
establishment of closer relations be
tween It and the Georgia Agricultural
and Mechanical College; the other, by
Senator Kelly. Is an act to provide a
commission form of government for
Augusta.
Action on Senatoi Hixon’s "eugeni 1
marriage” bill, which has been favor
ably reported, was postponed until
Monday.
The Senate adjourned at 12:30 until
31 o’clock Monday morning.

The dally morning prayer of the
blind Chaplain of the House of Rep
resentatives, the Rev. J. H. Ellis, is a
thanksgiving always.
Rainer than petitioning for more
blessings and more abundant prosper
ity, the Chaplain devotes by far the
greater portion of his supplication !n
the House to reminding the members
of the countless blessings they now
enjoy, and for which they should ren
der ungrudgingly their thanks to the
Most High
Not since lie began his term of
service in the House has the blind
Chaplain started a prayer with words
other than these. "Our Heavenly Fa
ther. we thank Thee!" and so on to
the end of as simple and an sweet a
prayer as ever was delivered any
where.
The blind Chaplain of the House is
a most interesting person. He al
ways is at his post of duty, well in
advance of the Speaker’s rap for or
der. and he remains after the House
gets down to work from 30 minutes to
an hour or more every day.
Mr. Ellis is slight of build, but clear
of voice. Few speakers on the floor
till the House so completely as he, and
his prayers every morning are giv»*n
close attention, lie is completely
blind and has to be led when walking.
He Ib a very lovable man. and the
Speaker hardly could have filled the
<’haplain’s place more acceptably or
more sensibly.
The House meets every morning at
9 o’clock now, but there never is
a quorum present at roll call.
Try as the House will, It hardly
can get itself together before 10,
somehow. Members either sleep late,
are more or less indifferent to the
first 30 minutes or so, or resent being
called to work at 9. Whatever It is.
the hour of 9 generally finds the
House not more than half filled.
After the roll call Is finished—un
less it is dispensed with, which fr*-
quontly it is—members drop in and
ask that they be recorded as present.
This courtesy generally Is accorded
them without protest, and it gives the
tardy ones considerable leeway in the
matter of getting in late and still not
having the record recite the circum
stance.
Judge Robert Hodges, of Macon, is
in Atlanta to-day and spent quite a
time in the House and Senate, renew
ing old acquaintances and looking
things over.
Mr. Hodges represented Ribb Coun
ty in the House several times back
yonder—well, not so many years ago
after all—and was then obe of the
best liked and most influentl 1 mem
bers. He was in the House when his
fellow-townsman. Augustus Octavius
Bacon, was first named Senator, and
took a great part in the work of con
ferring the honor upon him.
In those days the Legislature elect
ed the Senators, without any sort of
primary instructions, and Senator
Baton was named—he was re-elected
to a fourth term unopposed a few
days since— after a hard tight.
"Bob” Hodges, then ►•ervinK his first
term, was the man who carried the
news from the Capitol to the Kimball
House.
Judge Hodge* has presided over
the (’ity f’ourt of Macon for some
twelve yeurs, and is regularly re
named without opposition. Indeed, it
is extremely doubtful whether Judge
Hodges could be defeated for his
present office, no matter who under
took the Job.
Occasionally Speaker Burwell yanks
the Hou*e back to business rather
abruptly, when it gets negligent or
lugs in Its work.
In passing local measures It Is nec
essary to agree to the report of the
committee before a bill may be passed,
and this agreement Is made upon a
verbal division merely.
The other day the Speaker pro
posed the uninteresting status thus:
"Those who favor agreeing to the re
port of the committee will say ‘Aye.’ "
Nobody said anything.
Burwell whacked the much-abused
block of wood In front of him for or
der. and yelled the status of the House
again, and with decided emphasis,
moreover
This time the committee report was
agreed to by a chorus of "ayes” that
might have been heard to Whitehall
street.
Then Burwell smiled, and the House
laughed good-naturedly, and there
was no more trouble that day.
The county of Barrow was given a
temporary setback yesterday, when
the Senate, by a margin of four votes,
declined to ratify the action of the
House committee, the House and the
Senate committee In favoring It.
The advocates of Barrow still are
very much In the ring, however: The
bill will he reconsidered—it takes a
majority only of the Senate to do this,
and the Senate Is for Barrow by a big
majority—and then It will go over to
the next session.
No more gallant fight ever has been
made In the Legislature than the one
put up for Barrow. This Is the fourth
time that plucky community has come
to the Legislature, only to be knifed
and bushwhacked to death in one
chamber or the other. It will come
again, however—and eventually Bar-
row Founty will be created.
It has the one thing behind it that
so many new-county proposals lack-
genuine and admitted merit.
FATAL TD2
Electric Shock, Used by Birming
ham Moose to Frighten Can
didates, Is Too Strong.
BIRMINGHAM. July 25—In the
presence of 125 members of the secret
fraternal order of Moose, m
Moose Hall last night, Donald A.
Kenny, president of the local Chauf
feurs’ Union, and Christopher Gus-
tln, an Iron molder. met almost In
stantaneous death from an overshock
of electricity received while being
initiated into the organization.
Both were young and strong men.
Other candidates going through the
same Initiation before them were not
injured.
After Kenny was seen to be sink
ing and before John P. Abbott, pre
siding officer, could stop the proceed
ings, Gustin also had been fatally In
jured.
Both men died within five minutes,
although the lodge physician, Dr. L.
V. Neill, was present and lent imme
diate attention.
The ceremony that proved fatal is
the branding one. The candidate
stands upon a tilting board with his
chest bared. A magneto is connected
with his leg by a metal band and
chain.
A horseshoe metal Moose emblem
Deserting Husbands
Refused Citizenship
( HICAQO, July 25.—"Men who de
sert their wives and refuse to sup
port their families are not entitled
to become naturalized citizens,” said
Judge Petit here when he refused the
applications of t wo men who admitted
having left their wives.
Is heated red hot before h1s eyes and
a man advances toward him holding
the heated iron as If to brand him on
the chest.
No Arrests Likely.
This is not done, but the sugges
tion is made on the candidate’s mind
that it is through the medium of the
application of a rubber emblem while
the circuit of the magneto is made
complete by the application of the
other end to his bare shoulder.
The lodge uses an ordinary mag
neto, and while weak candidates have
never been subjected to this test, no
able-bodied man has ever been in
jured by It heretofore.
Police investigation is being made,
but there probably will be no arrests.
Priest, Forced to
Take Holy Orders,
Released by Pope
ROME. July 25.—The Congregation
of the Sacraments has rendered a
decision in a case which has lasted
for four years, and which has been
much discussed in ecclesiastical cir
cles. Twelve years ago a priest
named Arena asked to be allowed to
give up the priesthood. He pleaded
that twelve years ago he had been
compelled by his parents to take Holy
Orders. He alleged that he obeyed
his parents against his will. This was
confirmed by several witnesses.
The Congregation of the Sacra
ments, which was presided over by
Cardinal Farrata, decided to cancel
the priest's orders. It held that they
had been conferred against hie will,
and were therefore invalid. It recom
mended that Arena be released from
his vows.
The Pope approved the verdict.
