PROCTOR LIQUOR REGOLATIOII ACT

CONSIDERED

Senate Today Tacks on an Amendment Providing One Saloon to Each 500, and a Sliding Scale.

(Continued From Vane One)

Ituallon ulnco the state now has township option. Against Flat 600 Basis. Senator Proctor roue and objected at once when Senator lllgglns proposed tile simple limitation of one saloon

to each 500 people. Senator Deal favored the amendment on the ground that the 1,000 unit gives the entire mm loon business to fewer dealers. Senator Curtis declared tho 500 unit would defeat the purpose of tho bill Inasmuch as It would practically be no restriction at all. Senator Fleming who has been known as an advocate of the 500 unit, at this point publicly changed his views avd announcing be liked the l.ooo unit better, cast Ms vote that way. Only ten senators favored the lllgglns 500, unit Amendment when It came to o showdown. They were Deal. Clark. Grube. Italleck. Harlan, Uiggins. Parks. Royse Trautman and Tray lor. This vote showed the drift of sentiment to clearly that the Klmmel 1,000 unit amendment which followed was Immediately popularized. It occurred to both Senators Proctor and Fleming at once, that although they had both become committed to the 1,000 unit, the plain unit would not do because it barred saloons from smalt communities. But the rent of the troupe being untrained In the gymnastics of liquor legislation could not keep pace with the flipflops and hence when Proctor and Fleming did their back handspring nnd voted to table the plain, unqualified 1.000 unit, their trusty followers were found still on the other side of the hurdles when the vote was taken. The leaders found themselves with only 19 votes, as follows: neat. Farlow, Farrell, Fleming. Qers. Oreenwell Harlan, JIauck. Jackson, Lamont, Net-

tervllle, Parks, Powers, Proctor, lloyse, Stotsenberg, Sullivan, Trautman and Traylor. No Present Saloons Clostd. Tho only semblance of 'a real contest during tho afternoon was the dif-

whether alt the saloons now holding licenses wilt be permitted to continue in business regardless of limitations upon the number of saloons to be fixed In the act. It was decided they will be to empowered, and with the privilege of renewing and transferring licenses, the present saloons have a

chance to practically hold their privilege forever, or until the prospective

law Is knocked out by some future legislature. As the bill now stands in cities or townships In which the number of present saloons exceeds the limitations however, they may be fixed, the way la which the number may ever conform to the limitations is by Increase of population, failure to renew licenses or revocation of license for cause. However, It is specified, no more licenses can be Issued under such conditions. Senator McCarty. a Democrat who, true to pledges to his constituency in Carroll and Clinton counties, voted gainst the repeal of the county local option bill, proposed an amendment to knock out this entire section and have the limitation effective in reducing at once the number of saloons. Senator Proctor's motion to ditch this amendment was carried by the Democrats without difficulty. Moore Would Cut 'Em Out. Then Senator Moore held up an

other substitute with plenty of ginger In it, but there was a wholesale dislike for the label among the Democrats, together with Senators Gavlt, Durre, lllbberd and lilggins among the Republicans. This quartet of the minority side were among the 29 who stepped on the neck of the amendment which 18 tried to support. Moore's amendment would have made the present licenses good for the time sprolUrd, but would have prevented county commissioners from renewing them, or granting any others. "Wo have already passed the new option measure which makes all dry territory automatically wet," said Senator Moore. "Now you " propose a limitation which can aprly only to the number of saloons in dry territory. In territory where numerous naloons aro now operating there may be Ave times the number contemplated by the legal limitations in this act. It is fixed so that only a big' increase lu the population of a city can make the limitation effective. There Is a . permanent discrimination between the different counties. The Republicans as a rule stood by Senator Moore in this amendment and were valiantly mowed down, the vote being 29 to 18. The advocates were Brady, Crumpacker, Halleck, Hsnna, Hunt, Jenkins. Klmmel, Lambert. Lamont. Long, McCarty, Moore, Ratts. Sexon. Strange, Tilden, White and Wood. Brewers Are Barred.

lien upon the furniture or fixtures In the applicant's place of business, was tossed aside upon a motion by Senator Clark. But there is a close simi

larity between this and an amendment by Senator Curtis to which Senator Fleming consented, which says the saloonlst shall receive no gift or loan of money, furniture, fixtures or other assistance from a brewer. It was' also Senator Curtis whoso suggestion raised the saloonist's bond from $2,000 to $3,500, and made him responsible for all unlawful conduct of any sort in his place of business. Senator Strange walked up with the only Republican suggestion which got any welcome. This makes two violations of the liquor law sufficient ground for the revocation of a license on the ground that such a saloonist is not a man of "good moral character." Although it aroused no opposition it Is one of the most terse- and potent changes in the bill and the altering of the numeral from three to two may bother the derelict dealer more than any other things in the bill.

BUTCHER HOGS AT . COUNTY INFIRMARY Twenty-one hogs were butchered at the county infirmary on Wednesday by Superintendent Brumf ield and his assistants. The meat, such as hams, shoulders and side meat will bo cured and kept until summer. The poorer pieces which could not be preserved, will be served first. There aro fiftyfour inmates in the institution now.

Exasperating. All afternoon Mr. Stubb had been moving pictures from one room to another, and liis only reward was dust and perspiration. "Ilurry up. John," chlded Mrs. Stubbs impatiently. "You -will never finish at thnt rate." Mr. Stubbs removed the cobwebs from his florid brow. "Woman, do you think I'm a machine?" "Gracious, bow funny!" "Madam, may I ask what's funny?" "Why, dear, if you were a machine you would be a moving picture machine." And then and there Mr. Stubbs washed bis hand nnd started for the club. Chicago News.

High compliments were paid Secretary Herbert S. AVeed, who about five months ago resigned a similar position at Stamford, Conn., to accept the vacancy here, by Richard Sedgwick, the 'president. In his response the secretary dwelt on generalities in association work and declared in conclusion that in 1911 he was confident the work of the association would count particularly in the creation of better manhood; that many more boys and men of the city would join the organization and that he felt confident there would be many other surprises in store. He spoke of the co

operation between the schools, homes churches and association, which combined made accomplishments easier and greater. , He referred to the seemingly utter lack of denominational spirit when affairs of common welfare were at stake and declared he was much pleased. He said that in the short time he had been a .resident

here the men and women with whom he had come In contact had impressed him as being a genuine lot of people and not given to say nice things just because they might sound nice. Woman's Auxiliary. To Mrs. G. H Knollenberg and Mrs. Richard Sedgwick, president and treasurer of the Woman's Auxiliary of the Y. M. C. A. fell the honor of making report on the work of this organization which is so closely allied

to the association work proper and J

which has been responsible in a large degree for the success of the "institution. The re'ports of both were short. The auxiliary has a membership of about a hundred and is well organized with five committees, including the house, boys, membership, visiting

and social committees overseeing

each branch of the organization's work. The motto is "Love, Service and Christian Forbearance." The financial report given by Mrs. Sedgwick showed there was . a balance of approximately $94 in the treasury on January 1. The disbursements were in the neighborhood of $1,900, the efforts of the organization along this line being to purchase needed furnishings and the like for the association. The revenue was derived from membership ' dues and entertainments which were given.

Tublick Occurrences started out well. It promised to print all the news without fear or favor and to promote the Interests of Boston. It also promised that in its next issue it would publish the names of all the liars in Boston. The authorities, taking cognizance of the threat, wisely forbade the publication. So Publick Occurrences gave up in riisjxust and died.

(Palladium Special) Indianapolis, Feb. 2. Representative Rentschler's bill providing that railroad employes when quitting the service of a railroad company shall be provided with a letter of recommendation and be paid all due them within 72

hours, passed the house Wednesday by

a vote of SS to 2. Opposition to the bill came from Representative McMullen who said that the bill if passed would force the railroads to give recommendation to men discharged from the service for theft. "The company might be satisfied the man was thieving, and yet be unable to prove it," said McMullen. "In that case they would not dare to give him a letter stating the cause of the discharge, and certainly could not give him a letter recommending him for employment . any where else." Representative Keegan and Hammond argued the bill was aimed at the indirect system of blacklisting employes by railroad officials. He declared it was the habit of the companies when a man quit one road to apply for work upon another road, to await a report from the road last employing the man before giving him work. "This is to prevent such delay and to force the company to give a man a favorable report unless they have something definite against him," said Keegan.

BURNING OF WIDOWS.' The Horrible Rite India Maintain' For Over Twenty Centuries. The abolition of the horrid rite of widow burning in India was decreed by the British authorities in The dreadful practice was found : there by the Macedonians under Alex ander the Great 300 years before Christ, and for more than twenty-one long, weary centuries did it repeat its almost inconceivable torture and agony upon the women of India. The sacrifice, while not actually forced on the wife, was so strongly Insisted oo by public opinion that it amounted to

a law, ana its victims were legion. Scores of widows were often burned upon the funeral pile of a single rajah. In Bengal, the head center of the monstrosity, thousands were sacriflred annually, and the figure for U India was appalling. The millions of widowed women were completely at the mercy of the remorseless superstition of the times. The ministers of Brahmanism told the widow that her sacrifice was necessary as & means of her own happiness and thnt of her husband In the future state, and oftener thap otherwise she consented to be burned alous with the dead body of her husband. Unless she did this she was covered with the maledictions and curses of the people, was Tirtually outlawed and unceremoniously cast outside tho pale of human sympathy and consideration and had to sjend the rest of her days in degradation and wretchedness. It was death on the funeral pile of her husband or a living death of contumely and shame, of loneliness and misery. The women of India can never discharge their debt of gratitude to England for the abolition of the suttee. New York American.
