STOP FOOTBALL
SAYS THE HOUSE

The Cole Prohibitory Law Passed
by an Almost Unanimous
Vote.

BELIEVE SENATE WILL PASS IT.

The Vote 91 to 3—House
Passes
Bill
Abolishing
Savannah's Fire and
Police Commissions.

Atlanta, Nov. 8.—Representative Cole's football bill, preventing games of football where admission fees are charged, came up in the house today with a favorable report from the general judiciary committee with an amendment striking out "games of like character."

This was adopted and the bill was passed by a vote of 91 to 3.

The almost unanimous vote by which the house passed the anti-football bill is considered a sure indication that it will become a law at this session.

The bills to abolish the fire and police commissions and the board of tax receivers and assessors of Savannah passed the lower house unanimously. These bills were taken up from last year's calendar.

In the senate the temperance issue was revived by a vote rescinding Friday's action, killing the Turner bill, so as to allow the author to withdraw same.

This means that the prohibitionists have not given up the fight, but that it will be pressed in the house.

Senator Wooten introduced a new registration law incorporating a modified Australian ballot.

The fight over the convicts will be on in earnest next week, the house today setting the bill as the special order for Tuesday, the 16th, on motion of Mr. Hall, chairman of the penitentiary committee.

It seems that this week will be devoted to educational affairs, which involved a fight on the state university to withdraw the land script fund of $30,000 per year, and use it to establish a separate agricultural college.

The Blalock committee recommends this, and also the Pope-Brown committee, which is expected to report tomorrow on the workings of the university and the administration generally.
