T t TITE ATLANTA GEORGIAN AND NEWS. 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. Sdeughts GEORGIA POLITICS JAMIS B.NEVIN PN BigReduction IN Dental Work GOOD WORK means more practice and ■ower prices.

Peachtree & Decatur Sts. trance 19 1-1 Peachtree St. 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.
