Probe Keeps Senate Heated Over Prohibition Talk
A reported interview with Theodore Alvord alleging a $1 000 000 fund to defeat West Virginia prohibition aroused Senate scrutiny in Charleston. Senator Littlepage called the claim untrue and planned an investigation and possible Alvord removal. Gov elect Glasscock predicted the Senate would submit the amendment to a public vote and likely pass it, enforcing prohibition after July 1, 1911.

Uniform Laws Rejected In North Carolina Senate Fight
A Raleigh report notes a senate move to require a quick finance committee report by February 12 and bar new bills after February 1. Debate over 8 percent private investment interest sparked fears of bank loopholes, while a counterargument warned broader business harm. Several house bills on blacklisting, out of state collection claims, labor bureau funding, and uniform divorce laws failed. The agriculture committee backed a plan to borrow 100000 for a fireproof state museum and labs. Tobacco interests, led by American Tobacco Company, oppose antitrust moves and threaten retreat from North Carolina if laws pass. Warehousemen statewide prepare to rally against a bill cutting leaf tobacco warehouse charges.
