because of their revelations concern

North Carolina and other Southern

Senator Overman. He said some of
the reports were so revolting in char
acter that, it printed, the law prohib

"I heardof .the vile chKlaeter of

went to Mr. Nagel about them. H
told me the revelations were such that
he. felt called upon to suppress them.
!t would seem that some ot .the agents

ALABAMA BARS LOBBYISTS.
First Clash Occurs In the Prohibition
, Fight.
. Montgomrey, Ala. Anticipating 'a
bltfer contest over the effort to re
peal the prohibition legislation, the
lower bouse of the Alabama legisla
ture; after prolonged debate, adopted
a rule forbidding anybody on the floor
of the. house while the body was In
session, except members, employees
and active reporters. This shuts out
all lobbyists, of whom there are said
to be not a few here.
The first clash over the liquor ques
tion came on a motion in the house
to have all the liquor bills introduced
during the session printed This also
orovoked a spirited debate and ended
in defeat of the resolution. Both Bides
claim a victory and, if It was a vic
tory, it is a pyrrhic one.
1 Senator Frank S. Moody, known as
"the father of temperance in Alaba
ma," Introduced a bill wilch has for
Its object the establishing ot a. dig;
pensary In every county In they state.
This is the most far-reaching liquor
bill so tar, Introduced. --;'
The fight over the liquor legislation
has been transferred from the senate
to the house, and it Is plainly under
stood that the issue In that body is- th
doubt. The senate is gald to be local
option by small but working major-
lty.-Tiie house Js said to be prohibi
tion. - but the local optlohists. deny
this. The local optlonlats control the

Baltimore. Content during the

on the side, the militant Democracy
