Each side fought today to take votef

— -cussed a move to force the bill to r
showdown before the wets could
marshall additional strength

division of 22 to 18 against the beet-
bill the wet faction in the state Bn-
ate was battling to the last ditch late
Monday night to win 32 percent brew
in Oklahoma- The wets were cheer-
ed on by a dripping wet gallery that
broke all attendance records
The senate assumed the aspect of
an arena with the oratorical gladi-
ators pouring' forth their best for the
benefit of the listeners It was a gala
affair for both spectators and mem-
bers ' ’Hundreds of spectators were turned
away Galleries were filled early and
senators were crowded on the floor to
give all available seating space to
privileged visitors
The crowd was dripping wet Ap-
plause met the points of wet senators
Frequent threats were made to clear
the galleries and throw the meeting

Movement Spreading
To Other States of
Nation

BARNEGAT IS
HATTERAS OF
NJ COAST NOW
Writer Tells of Spot
Where Akron Trag-
edy Occured
“When the ‘Akron’ went down near
Barnegat the giant navy dirigible
was added to a long roll of victims of
the sea and gales off New Jersey’s
‘Hatteras’” says a bulletin from the
Washington D C headquarters of
the National Geographic Society
“Statistics show that the Barnegat
Coast Guard Station is one of the most
active stations on the enire Atlantic
coast- Here the New Jersey shore
bends like an elbow from a north-
south direction to the southwest and
tidal currents winds and shifting
shoals have taken toll of thousands jf
boats large and small since this part
of the country was first sighted by
Giovanni da Verrazano the Florentine
navigator in 1524
Many Small Vessels Wrecked
“In these days of large steamers
which run well out at sea most of the
seamen in distress are amateur sail-
ors rich yachtsmen who do not allow
for drift and tidal variations and
whose craft pile up on the shouls Or
fishermen’s boats when their engines
break down Coast-wise barge traffic
is heavy however and occasionally a
barge breaks from its tug-boat to add
its wreckage to many that have pre-
ceded it
“In a description of the Jersey
coast published in 1879 it was stated
that prior to the war of 1812 Old Cran
berry Inlet (near-by) was one of the
best anchorages on the coast and it
afforded a safe harbor for American
privateers on the lookout for British
ships during the Revolution It was
opened one night by the angry sea
breaking across the beach and during
the lagt year of its existence as a deep
water harbor the whole cbannel drift-
ed nearly a mile to the northward
“Its closure about 1812 caused so
much inconvenience that in 1821 an
attempt was made to cut a new inlet
near the head of Barnegat Bay (the
present Bay Head) With the assist-
ance of farmers it was finally finish-
ed but ’the following morning to the
amazement of the voluntary workers
it had closed up aguin
Region of Legend and Mystery

old sailors the coast in the neighbor-
hood of Barnegat Light is a region

Manager Ted Blankenship of the
Hugo bail team today announced that
he was well pleased with the showing

This statement was made as the

will be in uniforms” Mr Blankenship
indicated
Tile manager also indicated that
there might be a shakeup in the batt-
ing order due to the fact that some

line
From Antlers comes the report that
that team is in better shape now than
at any time this year
It was also announced that the en-
tire team which won the sandiot tour-
nament at Oklahoma City was again

ever Chief Bohunnon is said to be

be with Antlers by the time the two
teams tangle here next Sunday after-
noon Lineups of both teams will be an-

ment” last night at the First Baptist

Christ was the bridge over the chasm
from hell back to Heaven from a
starless night back to u noon-day sun
“He bore our shume went to the

This morning Dr Fife preached on
“Three Resurrections” in which he
showed Jairus’ daughter as the type of
salvation in the day of liquid dew of
youth — the rose hud time of life The
ruising of the widow’s son shows God’s
care for the young who were ensnared
with themptation and fiery darts of the
