4 WHAT WILL ASSEMBLY DO? WILL IT PASS STATE-WIDE PROHI BITIOX OR NOX? 1 August Kohn Discusses Question, and < Gives Vote of the Senate on J "Compromise Bill." 11 I < Columbia, Sept. 12.?Is it a ques- j, tinr? r?f cood faith? Will the prohi- j j bition majority and the tide over- 1 whelm the legislature and force the j enactment of a State-wide prohibi- ( tion bill. The situation at the ad- < journment of the last session was that the ardent prohibitionists were j j disssatisfied and disappointed and the ( local optionists thought they had set- . tied the question of further legisla- ( tion for at least two years longer, j The legislation passed was known as j a "compromise." All through the ( discussion and arguments the present , law, incorporating the fifteen-day ( / prohibition situation and the elec- ( tions without petitions, were regard- ? ed?particularly in the Senate?as a , compromise. ^ The Senate directly and by a direct t vote killed State-wide prohibition. It ? was a notorious fact that, while the ^ """"" rxsceoH til? StntP-widP Drohi- T paoovu tuv s/v%*vv t hibition bill, the Senate would not do r' so. The legislative tangle that en- r sued is recent history. x The "Compromise." t Then came the "compromise," as a result of which fifteen counties a have been added to the prohibition s column. Had the General Assembly e adjourned without adopting the "compromise" bill, there would not s have been such an addition to the c prohibition territory. Some counties 0 had not passed the period for other ^ elections, and under the compromise tl bill no petitions were necessary, and c. the getting up of petitions has often o proven a barrier. Under the "com- a promise" bill the elections were auto matic. tl Mr. Richards, and others who were ^ leading the fight for State-wide pro- d hibition, insisted that they would rather have had no legislation than 1* the statute which resulted in fifteen new counties being added to the pro- o1 hibition column. n How the Senate Voted. ? K?s? bi But the fight in chief on the "compromise" bill was on the Senate side, the question now largely is whether the Senate will insist on the status brought about by the "compromise" a bill being maintained. a, There was strenous objection to u the bitter end to the "compromise" s] bill, but it became a law and as a result six counties retained dispen- i rj ? ?' ?

There are certain Senators who ex- 0 plained their votes at the time, who C( did so on the ground that they did P the best they could, all things con- u Ss^:' sidered. . d Because fifteen counties accepted the opportunity and voted for prohi- " bition, hardly involves State-wide t( prohibition. It was not intimated in * the compromise and had the bill said b "If three-fourths of the counties vote a for prohibition, then State-wide pro- d hibition is to follow," it would have involved further complications, and n the Legislature would most likely have adjourned without enacting the "compromise" bill. t: ? What Will the Drys Do? r C,-,..', The prohibitionists have gained 0 very much by the compromise bill? t more than they expected. If they ^ force Richland, Charleston, Flor- t ? Doonfnrt fipnre-ptown. and h C11UC, J-?vauwi v, ~ v a Aiken into prohibition, it will run ^ fcounter to the vote of those counties and prohibition will start out as did v the old dispensary law, with hostile v sentiment and lack of co-operation, i Prohibition now has 36.42 of the ^ State, and the gain has been steady ( and sure, and public sentiment has c been back of the law. Other coun- T ties will no doubt voluntarily join the ^ prohibition ranks, and the question i is whether it is best to let them do so of their own accord or force it t upon a people who have just ex- f pressed their views, under the most 6 favorable condition. The hope is that whatever is done c at the approaching session will not c involve such a legislative snare as -< was witnessed in 1909. Girl's Condition Critical. Spartanburg, Sept. 11.?There is considerable excitement here to-night ^ caused by the announcement by physicians that Miss Elizabeth Morrow, j n-oo Hrn+aiiv hpatpn bv her fos TV UV VI UO Vi UVMiV ? ? ter-father, L. A. Matthews, Wednesday night, is in a critical condition, being threatened with blood poison- i ing. She is delirious and has been so < all day. The doctors say the chances 1 are decidedly against her recovery. : The whole police d partment is 3 searching for Matthews to-night, but ; so far he has not been found. One ] of his bondsmen withdrew to-day and ; 0. L. Johnson, who is now his sole bondsman, said to-night he wanted , to surrender Matthews but up to midnight he has not been able to do so, for the reason that Matthews can not 1 be located. This afternoon Matthews gave to i the morning paper here a very penitent note to be published to-morrow morning. Matthews beat Miss Morrow, who was his adopted daughter, because she permitted Chief Kennedy, of the local fire department, to talk to her at the window of a motion picture theatre contrary to his instruction. Miss Morrow is a young woman esteemed by all who know her. WHITE SLAVES BEHIND BARS. A Shocking State of Affairs Disclosed in Chicago. Chicago, Sept. 7.?Ircn bars are being ripped off the windows of disorderly houses by order of Chicago's aew chief of police to whom the Woman's World committee furnished in formation of the places where white slaves were held prisoners and where white slavery, in its crudest form, flowered its menace to possible girl victims. Chief Steward had an inves:igation made of the facts reported oy the committee and when the were confirmed he took prompt and vigorous action. That a traffic in girls, their capture ind sale by cadets and procurers to weepers of disorderly houses, not j only existed but prospered on a j ?reat, even international scale was iiscovered a few years ago when oarred windows were found in a louse which had been used asa brothJl. It was then proved that girls who were enticed or tricked into ;hat place had been kept as prisoners, as slaves to commercialized lust tnd even as drudges. They had disippeared utterly from the knowledge >f their friends and relatives. Their ears and pleadings had been in vain md no communication with the vorld outside the barred windows vas permitted. Ernest A. Bell, secetary of the Illinois vigilance comnittee, made that discovery and he it ras who showed Chief Steward phoographs of place after place on Ar iiour avenue wnere grim uuu uaio cross the windows told of the white lavery within, and which resulted in nergetic official measures. Raids made by prosecutors for the tate and federal government have onfirmed the fact that girl captives, ften daughters of excellent homes, -ere held by lock and forced to do tie degrading bidding of their purhasers and procurers. Those methds were. not followed in Chicago lone but in other cities. The barred 'indows, however, were a basis for ( le new Illinois act prepared by the Oman's wor'd committee against the 1 etention of girls in such places by < irce or under pretense of debt, a iw enacted in April and now in ' >rce. Investigations in Boston and i ther cities show that similar law is eeded in nearly every state of the ( nion and efforts are urged to secure ( oth such law and its enforcement. i Davidson Abolishes Hazing. Davidson, N. C., septeniDer 5.?ai rousing meeting of the entire stu- 1 ent body of Davidson College, it was nanimously decided that hazing hould be abolished in the College. 1 This decision was made after vaious speeches by members of the icultv and of the board of trustees ad placed the matter before the stuents in its true light, and is the cullination of a movement began sevral years since. It is, therefore, felt 3 be the outgrowth of principles ooted deep in the hearts of those lost concerned ?the students them3lves?and its enforcement being ift entirely to the students, under ae honor system, which has proven 3 successful in the abolition of other vils, (notably the destruction of ollege property,) its success is con- _ idered assured. Little Progress in Polar Dispute.
