The message was tak en up Thursday morning and Mr. lUttenberg spoke earnestly In favor of hit bill. He asserted that It was purely a local matter and that all other methods of dealing with the 11-1 quor question In Charleston had fail ed to accomplish the desired results.; Other members of the House took the opposite view and held that it I was cot a local question, and that j the evil effects of the license system in Charleston would spread to oth-: er sountles. Further debate on the question was postponed until Thurs day night by the arrival of the hour to consider Mr Rembert's bill When debate was resumed Thurs day night on Mr Rlttenberg's bill.

The full text of the bill was pub lished In The News and Courier on the 18th, the chief amendments are to provide for a license for brewers and bottlers, at 15,000 and graduat ed down, reducing the salary for the license commissioners from 11,800 to $1,000 each; the wholesale li cense is to be $8,000 and retail li cense $1,000 each. No llqnor is to be shipped outside Charleston; no llqnor can he sold by licensed dealers In less than half pints. There was a question about allowing the right to manufacture liquor or beer until It was shown that this right is now given. The amendment provides for publlcstton of names of all appH- esnts for licenses and no application can he granted until duly advertis ed Mr. Klbler said there were so many amendmfnt* that they should be printed and studied before a final vote was taken.

Thlsty-one Senators voted to ■ubstantltute the Page vocatloual b’ 1 ! for the Lever bill, and thirty Sen ators voted against the substitute. Four Democrats, Senators Chilton, of West Virginia; Gardner and John son of Maine, and Martlne, of New Jersey, supported the Page substi tute, while six Republicans, Senators Bourne, of Oregon; Bristow of Kan sas; Burnham, of New Hampshire: Burnton, of Ohio; Cummin*, of Iowa, and LaFollette, of Wisconsin, voted In favor of the Lever bill. Other wise, the division wa* strictly on party Mnea. the Republican* as a body standing by their Vermont col league W'hen seen after the vote, Repre sentative Lever said: "I am not dis couraged by the situation because the Page bill was passed by one vote and Included the substantial features of my bill, as the latter waa unani mously adopted by the House I have not determined whether to have the matter referred back to the House committee on agriculture or to ssk for s conference I do not know what the attitude of the House will be, as the Page bill baa never been considered on that side " The Lever bill la confined to agri cultural extension and la a contin uation and development of an estab lished policy, while the Page bill alao Includes vocational and Inluatrlr.l feature# and means the beginning of an absolutely new line of activity by the Federal Government Again un der t he Lever bill.

In the first place, he says, there are any number of pardoned crim inals, who have found their way Into the city from "across the river”, and In the second place, the authorities are lax In sending for escaped con- 1 vlcts when they are apprehended and held In the city. Whether the recent excessive num ber of burglaries are attributable to any of the escaped or pardoned con victs, Mr. Hatcher would not say, for If there vere any evidence against any of them the situation would take on a different aspect.

The House refused to adjourn on Mr. Klbler’s motion and went on adopting delegation amend ment*.

Mr Irby of Laurens said that he waa In favor of some of the features of the resolution; but opposed It be cause the resolution favors corpora tions. He claimed that the corpora tions are being forced to pay out much money annually on account of the court’s continually falling to rec ognize contributory negligence; and they want some measure to overcome this judicial tendency; that an Indus trial regulation as proposed In the resolution is just what the corpora tions want. Another aseerMon by Mr. Irhy Is that a fixed amount for Injuries and death tflll be specified In a liability act; that the corporation will take out insurance on the life of their em ployees—something that they cannot do now, because of the uncertainty of Jury verdicts-—and If one is killed the corporations will pay absolutely nothing. Mr. Irby caustically criti cised all commissions as doing noth ing except for themselves—going on trunketlng trips, etc. Mr. Thompson of Charleston said that the resolution for a commission is a compromise on several bills; that no agreement could be reached on several bills, and by ths forma tion of snch a commission all Inter ests could be heard, and from the mass of Information received a good bill could be drafted.
