WOMEN IN PANIC
WHEN SHIPS' CRASH
By Prlrste Leased Wire. .
New York, Aug. 6.—A crowd of men,
women and children returning from
Coney Island early today were “thrown
Into panic when the Hoboken ferry
boat Blnghampton crashed Into the
Elmira In the slip on the Hoboken side
of the river.
T!i» pure fned blf, Introduced si ,
substitute htU by Representative
Wright, of I’loyd, In the house Mon
day morning, was nrgued throughout
tho session and sot as the first order
of business for 3 o'clock In the after-
noon, a special afternoon session be-
Ing .voted.
The opposition of Joe Hill Hall, „f
Hlbb: AJken. of Bartown, and a fen-
others, who objected to the wording nf
the measure, and who delayed action
until the hour for adjourning, prevent,
ed the passage of the measure at the
morning session. The house was clear,
ly In sympathy with the general ob-
Jerts of the bill, but objected to the
details of the bill offered.
The bill provides for the prevention
of the adulteration, misbranding nnd
imitation of food for man or beasts, of
beverages, candles nnd condiments, of
medicines, drugs and liquors, or their
manufacture and sale In the state ,>f
Georgia. It prescribes penalties for the
violations. It provide* for the inspec-
tlon and analysts of these various arti
cles by tho state department of agr|.
culture. It makes It necessary for the
commissioner of agriculture when nti
article has been reprted to him by the
state chemist as being adulterated to
certify the fact of adulteration to the
district attorney of the United States
In ense tho article comes under the
Interstate law, or under the Jurisdiction
of the United States. The national
pure food law has already made It the
duty of the United State* district at
torneys when they receive such notifi
cation to prosecute the offenders In the
United States courts, but If the article
adulterated comes under the jurisdic
tion of the state laws then the state so
licitors are required to prosecute all
offenders under tho law In the court
of the Btates. Tho law also goes Into
detail In regard to the manner In
which samples of food and teed stuff
are to be taken.
Speaker Slaton called the house to
order at 10 o'clock.
A second substitute "pure food" bill
was offered for passage by Mr. Wright,
of Floyd. This bill had been set as a
special order of business. Mr. Wright
explained that hts bill was a substitute
substitute drawn In order to
avoid many amendments. ' This but
conform* closely to the national food
measure passe'd by congress. The house
wus resolved Into a committee of the
whole, with Mr. Knight, of Berrien, In
the chair.
The bill, a voluminous document, wae
read. It was modeled closely on the
lines of the national bill
Mr. Felder moved that the bill be
put over to Thursday; that It might
be printed and 'the members given an
opportunity to study tt. He withdrew
his resolution upon the objection by the
author that t’tls would mean the defeat
of the bill.
-Mr. Hall, of Bibb, moved that the bill
be tabled, and the committee report
progress. He was ruled out of order,
not having the floor. Mr. Hall gained
the floor and objected that the bill
was very Imperfect.
Mr. Wright made r. strong appeal
that the measure, which, be believed,
was favored by every member, be
pasted at this time In order that It
might go to the senate before the close
nf session.
The bill provides that <10,000 be ap
propriated for carrying out the provis
ions of the food Inspections, the bill to
take effect fr< m AuLUst 1. 1907.
Opposition to Bill.
Mr. Wright spoke to the bill, urging
Its passage. He was willing to correct
all defects In wording which might be
suggested. He was anxious to perfect
the measure. The bill mst with the
approval of the state chemist, who had
consulted for the past month Dr. Wiley,
of Washington He explained some de
tails of the hill as follows:
An Inspeotor to be paid <1.600 a year
Is provided. Three officials are Includ
ed. their term of office to be limited.
The sum of <10,000 or as much a*
necessary Is appropriated. In states
where similar bills have been enacted It
had been found that the Income from
fee* would exceed this amount. It
would not cost the state * cent >to put
the measure In operation. The bin
provides for the prevention of adulter
ation of stock food, as well a* foods
nnd drug* intended for human con
sumption. Labels bearing misleading
names and other deception are forbid-
den.
Mr. Wright called attention to the
recent exposures of Impure meat la
Atlanta.
Mr, Hall’s Opposition.
Mr. Hall, of Bibb, opposed the meas-
sure, saying It waa crudely drawn
slavishly copied from the act of con-
tvess, and containing sections nog ap
plicable to a state law. He moved the
committee recommend the bill be ta
bled. There ws* no second and the
motion was withdrawn. Mr. Akin,
of Bartow, spoke against the bill **
drawn nnd called attention to error*
In details. He wished to amend the
section providing for an appropriation
by providing that the Inspector* and
officers be paid out of fee* and fines.
Time was extended after I:M o ctook
to permit a vote to be taken on the bill
as amended. The members began
leaving thy house, and fearing that a
quorum would not be present., * , r
Wright moved to adjourn until J
'clock, which was carried.
The force of the collision stove In the
bow of the Binghamton snd smashed
the gam*, while the starboard cabin
of the Elmira-was torn away from th*
forward end to the stern of the vessel.
With the Impact there was a loud
crash of splintering timbers, the boat
stopped with a Jerk that threw every
body from his seat, careened to port
and then slowly backed out. Women
