lution of the liquor question. If it were not
for treating In saloons there would be very
little drinking." s
The fact that the bill applies to candi

a sympathetic chord In the breasts of the
Douglas county statesmen and Incidentally
It Is probable they are getting lonesome
lown here In Lincoln by themselves.

county senators conferred ' today over the
Ransom bll fallowing the excise boards and
boards of fire and police commissioners to

work of remonstrances out of the way

found that the bill would give the Out

amended to obviate the difficulty. The
bill also provides that when a license shall
bo revoked for any purpose but the viola
tion o fthe law the school treasurer shnll

PROHIBITION BILL VETOED
Lesrlslatnrc of Tennessee Will Make
an Kffort to Pass Measure
Attain Todny.
NASHVILLE, Tenn., Jan. 19.-The bill to
prohibit tho manufacture of Intoxicating
liquors '.n Tennessee passed the senate this
nftprnoon by a vote of 20 to 13 on third
rending.
Governor Patterson filed his veto of state
wide prohibition bill with the clerk of the
senate after that body adjourned for the
day this afternoon. The veto will be read
to tho senate tomorrow and the bill voted
on again.
Opponents of the bill claim they can count
on a change of three senators to their side,
and that the fourth member, one whoae
vote the fate of the measure depmds Is
wavering. Should there be ac hange of
four votes, tho veto will be sustained, 17
to 16.
The governor. In explnning his' failure to
approve the bill tells the legislature such
a law is against the democratic platform
and the doctrlno of self-government; that
experience has taught them ne arbitrary
prohibition law was ever obeyed, and Its
enactment brings no settlement of the
question, that It destroys property, reduces
state revenues, and Increases taxation.

oil company.

of the Corn Products company and other
corporations which they declared to be
Illegal combinations In restraint of trade.

suit, against which Judge Landls Issued a
second injunction. Harding appealed and
the appellate court today held that Judge
Landla should have considered and granted
motions of the complainants In the eViglnal
case to dismiss the suit, thus removing any
cauae for Injunction In the second suit
