HOUSE TO PASS DRY BILL TO-DAY
Senate b No. 2, providing for the
elimination of ker clubs and near
beer saloons after May 1, 1916, was
put upon s final reading and pas
sage In the House Friday, and mora
than likely w be ready for the sig
nature of Governor Harris Saturda)
morning
Th Fullbright fight to take the ap
propriations b from the table, whica
was renewed when the House opened
Friday, quickly crumbled. Instead of
getting anything like his usual vote
of 76 for and 92 against, he could on.¥
muster 50 votes to take it from “he
table as opposed to 118 votes for it (s
remain there.
An immediaté recess was taken
then for the Rules Committee to mesot
and agrée upon a program for the
day, in accordance with the agreementi
reached Thursday night when the ma
jority wing was won over to a com
promise making the laws effective
May 1 instead of January 1, or even
April 1
The Rules Committee made as the
special and continuing order un:il
disposed of Senate bills Nos. 2 and 3,
and limited the debate to one and
one-half hours to the side on each,
making a total of four hours of de
bate before a vote could be reached.
The majority wing was given the
opening, th eminority wing second
and the Fullbright wing third, in or
der of speaking.
Culpepper Opens Debate.
Immediately after the Rules Com
mittee report was made it was unan'-
mously adopted, and Judge Hopkins,
leader for the majority wing, desiz
nated Culpepper, of Meriwether, as
the first speaker
Culpepper stated that the prohibi
tionists had been blamed for forcing
the extra session and that they were
rnow willing to admit they had done
80 He stated that they had been
given assurances when they took the
action that Governor Harris would
include prohibition in the call.
The bill now before the House, he
sald, was the only one ihat would
positively prohibit the locker club, the
riear beer saloon and the blind tiger.
It was drawn by Judge Weakly, of
Alabama, and had been approved by
the Anti-Saloon League, he said.
Culpepper spoke for 22 minutes and
Blackburn designated Oliver, of Rich
mond, to speak 15 minutes for his
side,
Olive urged the General Assembly
to make the date of the law’s effec
tiveness October 1, instead of May 1,
on account of the renting season in
Augusta for both residences and
places of business. There were over
200 expert laborers in the breweries,
he said, who rented homes from Oc
tober to October and who would have
to pay rent for the additional months,
although they would have to leave the
State and seek employment else
where,
Gain $300,000 Revenue.
“Another reason why this should be
done is that the State will get $300,000
in revenue for this period, which it
could not get for the period to May 1,”
ke said. “It would give this assem
bly some time to provide for the de
ficiency in revenue from the passage
of this act at the next regular ses
sion.”
When Olive concluded the House
adjourned to meet again at 2:30
o'clock in the afternoon and remain
in session until the bill is passed. It
would then only remain for Speaker
Burwell and Governor Harris to affix
their signatures to make it a law.
During the afternoon Blackburn, of
Fulton, and Bale, of Floyd, will make
a last appeal to the House in an es«
fort to have it legalize the sale of
Argardls Hurt
Water Wagon
l
Falls off the water wagon sometimes
result seriously and produce compii
cations But the material damage
usually is not so severe as that su’-
sered by George Argard, recorder of
Yaarab Temple and an eminent Shrin
er. when he siipped off a really, truly
water wagon down in Montgomery
Thursday afternoon,
Mr. Argard fell off a sure-enoughn
hnnvr wagon, and he is now at the
Davis-Fischer Sanitarium, and they
;arp making X-ray pictures of hl!‘
right hip, with a growing disposition
to belleve it fractured—a serious \m‘
jury. ‘
. There is nothing funny about (.'n!i
lson of thing, but the method of a -
‘quiring the injury would have be@
funny enough, taken all by itself.
} Watching the big parade of the
ib‘hnners in Montgomery Thursday
afternoon, Mr. Argard and a group of
‘h\'fly and kindred spirits stood on a
'nrno( corner and evolved a brilliant
jdea. They saw an isle water wagon,
‘drann out to one side of the street to
Jet the sprightly march of the bands
and patrols go by.
They chartered the water wagon
and ad®d it to the parade.
It was a great idea, and it made a
great hit. The party sat astride the
big steel tank-—just like the pictures
of “The Jolly H2O"-—and they ex
tracted roars of delight from the as
sembled multitudes.
That was the trouble. The roars of
delight upset the delicate nerves of
the mules that hauled the Jolly H2O,
‘and those ornery shavetails procee.l
ed to run away, and turn a corner at
high speed, thereby causing the en
tire party to skid from the polished
surface of the tank and alight, in a
sitting position, in the gutter.
Mr. Argard was unable to arise,
and an ambulance was called. An
early train brought him to Atlanta, |
and an ambulance met him at the
station and took him to the hospital. ‘
1,700 More Serbs
German Captives
(By International News Service.)
BERLIN (by wireless), Nov. 12.—
Geman troops pursuing the Serbians
have crossed the first ridge of moun
tains south of Kraljevo, the War Of
fice announced to-day. During Thurs
day’s operations the Germans cap-l
tured more than 1,700 prisoners and
11 cannon.
The Germans are apparently driving
through the heart of Serbia on a front
about 40 miles wide. Since crossing
the Danube at gelgrade they have
marched 105 miles directly south.
The official report on the eastern
theater of war states that General
von Linsingen captured four Russian
officers and 250 men yesterday south
of the Kovel-Sarney Railroad.

Judge Atkinson, of Fulton, and
Myrick, of Chatham, will seek to have
the referendum clause attached to the
bill to submit it to the voters at the
next general election. This amend
ment would not prevent the law going
into effect May 1, but would nullify
it should the majority vote against it.
One of the humorous incidents of
the morning session was a resolution
by Judge Stark, of Jackson, asking
that the House send Blackburn, of
Fulton, and Hopkins, of Thomas, en
voys from the warring factions who
agreed on peace terms, to Europe as
special peace envoys for the United
States.

“Dr. Cecile L. Griel, of New York,
is believed to be at Bizerta.
“We have given up hope of dis

“During the last 48 hours every
available steamer in Western Sicilian

the Ancona sank, but failed to dis

statement, published in The Provis

Goricar former Austro- Hungarian
Consul at San Francisco, that all
Austrian consuls in this country are
mixed up In the creation of strikes
and destruction of munition plants,
and that Count von Bernstorff, the
German Ambassador, and Consui
General von Nuber are directing their
movements S 0 serious were he

to discuss them in any way

'ger than the one caused by the re
quest for the recall of Dr. Dumba,
Austro-Hungarian Ambassador, will
be sprung
Bernstorff to Deny.
The Austrian Embassy to-day gave
out a statement denying Goricars
charges and discrediting him
At the German Embassy It was
said that Count von Bernstorf
was in New York for a day or
two No one would discuss the
report in his absence. From an offi
cial in the confidence of Count von
Bernstorff, however, it was learned
that he will enter a vigorous denial
with Secretary of State Lansing at
once of the charge that he has been
concerned in any of the plots. OM
clals intimate, however, that several
minor attaches of both the German
and Anstro-Hungarian Embassies
may be given their passports as the
result of the charges
| Despite the Austro-Hungarian Em
ih:n-s\"s official denial of the charges,
the Department of Justice is going
‘ right ahead in its investigation of the
matter. A. Bruce Bielaski, chief of
the investigation division, sad this
afternoon that he hasg already sent
agents to nterview Goricar. It was
intimated that it is possible that the
ex-Consul will be asked to come to
Washington to go thoroughly into his
charges with Government officials.
In his statement Dr. Goricar de
lared that the naval attache of the
Austrian KEmbassy here tried to get
him to obtain information regarding
the fortifications o! the United States
at San Francisco and Puget Sound,
Washington. Dr. Goricar was consul
at San Francisco at the time and he

More Plotters Sought.
Federa! officials intrusted with the
preservation of the neutrality of the
United States are daily becoming
'more gravely concerned over the se
ir'.o-.\' of mysterious fires and accidentas ,
'that are taking place in the munition
factories of the country.
It was thought that, following the
arrest of “Lieutenant” Robert Fay
and his assoclates in New York,
charged with plotting to destroy lin
ers and factories supplying munitions
to the Eutopean Allies, the way had
been opened to arresting participants
in a nation-wide conspiracy and to
end the campaign of explosions and

destruction.

The investigators are fearful that
a terrible tragedy will take place.
They point out that while up to the
