His Manager Says Bars
Were Thrown Down by
United States.
New York. July J.0.—J. W. Jungsn,
manager of the operating department
of the Southern Pacific’s Atlantic coast
lines,' during the luncheon on the com
pany’s new steamer Creole yesterday,
In discussing the dispatch of coal by
the government to the Pacific in foreign
ships, and speaking, it was stated,
for E. H. Harrlman, said:
"The bars are down, ir the United
States government has a right to char-
ter foreign bottoms to carry coal to the
Pacific coast, there is no reason why
the Southern Pacific should not do
likewise. I am going to send coal to
” a r» * ranc ‘ 8c ° * n foreign bottoms."
Rear Admiral Cowles and others
present at the luncheon pointed out
that Harrlman would not be permitted
to do the thing he contemplated, be
cause of the navigation laws of the
United States.

FACTORY GIRL SUES
FOR LOSS OF ARM
Twenty out of tho present senate
have seen legislative service before at
various times In the past. Twenty-four
have never served in either branch.
President Akin. Senators Felder, Flynt,
Hardman, Hayes, Knight, Overstreet
and Steed were In the last house.
In physical make-up the senate Is
heavy. Senator Camp probably tips
the beam near the 250 notch. Senator
Lashley Is over 6 feet, and Is huge In
mold. Senator Howard and Senator
Dobbs belong to the sawed-off type,
short, thick and good-humored. Sena
tor Taylor is the patriarch of the body,
a fine-looking old gentleman, who
looked as though he had stepped out of
one of Thomas Nelson Page's stories
of the old South.
President Akin is the smallest man
physically in the body, but he is the
Intellectual equal of any. His small,
well-groomed figure Is usually fault
lessly attired, and he has the bearing
somewhat of a dandy. But he has
none of the other characteristics of
that school.
Governor Smith will have to settle
contest for the Judgeship of the city
court of Brunswick shortly. The ap
plicants are J. D. Sparks and D. W.
krauts, Mr. Sparks, who has very
strong backing, Is in the city looking
after his Interests. His friends say he
has an excellent chance of landing the
plum.
Senator Z. V. Peacock, of the Four
teenth district, Js perhaps the youngest
member of the present senate, which
has few very young men. Senators
Flynt and Borne belong to the younger
group. Senator Peacock will shortly
introduce a bill to place solicitor gen
erals on salaries, and It is likely to
bring on a lively fight.
The busiest man In the country now
is Governor Hoke $mith.. His recep
tion room is crowded from early In the
morning until he leaves late In the
afternoon. There Is not a moment
throughout the day that the,governor
Is not conferring with some one. They
come for all sorts of things. Many are
seeking appointments to Jobe, others
are consulting about some friend who
wants a place. A few come simply to
pay their respects to the new governor.
The bulk of his time, however, is
taken up in conferring with members
of the general assembly about reform
measures. Governor Smith gets down
to his office not later than 8:30 o’clock,
and immediately plunges into the day's
work. He has enormous capacity for
work, and the more he has the better
he seems to like it.
Secretary of the Senate Charlie
Northen Is at once a diplomat and an
expert parliamentarian. It Is his flell-
cate task at the beginning of a new
senate to keep the body off the shoals
and hidden reefs of parliamentary sail
ing. And a mighty fine pilot he Is.
too. He performs the delicate task of
steering "green” members through dif
ficulties with such grace and quietness
that the favored one is sure to glow
with gratitude—If he has any In his
make-up. Yet, some people wonder
how Charlie Northen has such a stran
gle-hold on the Job!
What a change has come over the
old, happy, go-lucky way In the senate.
Within the recollection of all, any who
wanted could drift Into the senate
chamber and loll over the dividing rail
nnd hold social converse with friends,
it must be confessed that at times
the confusion was so great tjjat pro
ceedings In (he senate could not be
heard—at best the hall has most mis
erable acoustics.
• But now the doorkeeper meets all
comers at the entrance to the senate
chamber, nnd unless good reason or the
right Is shown for entering the room,
It Is the gallery for tho caller. As n
consequence, proceedings move along
much more smoothly nnd without tho
usual confusion arising from moving
people or animated conversations.

James M. Smith, mayor of Pembroke;

Probably the .busiest committee In
the lower house of the general assem
bly this year will be the special Ju
diciary committee, of which Represen
tative R. B. Blackburn, of Fulton, la
chairman. To this committee has been
referred all the local bills, or about
one-third of all the bills that have been
Introduced In the house this session.
This committee met Monday after
noon, and after electing Ben F. Hill,
of Monroe, secretary, proceeded to de
pose of thirty-five local sills, all of
dispose of thirty-five local bills, all of
which were favorably reported. The
committee will dispose or those bills
that are uncontested first.
TO SPEAK SUNDAY
May Address Great Meeting
For Prohibition
Cause.
Violet Ayers, a 14-year-old girl,
whose left arm was crushed in a press
machine at the Fulton Bug and Cot
ton Mills on March 18, today brought
suit against the company, claiming
$25,000 for herself and $10,000 for her
mother. She alleges negligence on
part of the company in that there
no shield over the claw of the machine
which caught her hand and drew her
arm Into the rollers until her body
touched. Her arm was amputated
result of the accident.
The naming of Warrant Clerk C. M.
Hitch as auditor of the executive de
partment by Governor Smith means
that a strong check Is to be made on
all expenditures. As Secretary Hitch
draws the warrants tor nil moneys paid
out, his task will not be a very difficult
one. It will be the policy of the ad
ministration to pay no bill or expense
account without the closest scrutiny.
If an agent of the state travels on a
mileage book, he will be allowed 2 1-2
cents per mile and not 3 cents.
Hereafter all warrants will be signed
by the governor at noon. Bills may be
left with Secretary Hitch, who will
have wnrrants ready at noon.

After listening to Speaker Slaton'i
remarks regarding the crowded con
ditlon of the superior court dockets of
Fulton county, the general Judiciary
committee Monday afternoon voted to
recommend for passage the bill in
troduced by the Fulton county delega
tion, providing for the appointment of
an additional superior court Judge for
this county.
The bill was read a second time in
the house Tuesday, and it is probable
that It will be passed 'by the end of the
present week. It Is understood that
Governor Smith will appoint Captain
W. D. Ellis to the assistant Judgeship
immediately after the passage of the
bill.
of the lower house view the Thatter
from the same viewpoint as the general
Judiciary committee, lobbying In the
state of Georgia will soon be numbered
among the memories of the past. After
much discussion pro and con. the com
mittee Monday afternoon recommended
that the antl-Iobbylng bill of Mr.
Wright, of Floyd, do pass, and it will
be so reported to the house.
The bill provides that any repre
sentative of a corporation who seeks to
Influence legislation shall file with the
secretary of state his occupation, the
nature of the legislation In which he
is interested and an Itemised statement
of the fee he receives. Such represen
tatlve Is not ifllowpd to discuss any
legislation with a representative except
In the committee rooms.
After vainly trying to determine
whether dogs, both mongrel, puppy,
whelp and hound and curs of nil de
grees. should be taxed or not, the com
mittee on general agriculture adjourned
Monday afternoon to dream over the
question Monday night and taokle It
afresh Tuesday.
The debate on the dog question was
precipitated by the bill of Mr. Linns-
den, of White, which provides that«all
dogs shall be taxed ns any other prop
erty and that dogs for whom no taxes
are paid shall be speedily dispatched.
There was pronounced opposition to
the bill, and the argument became so
warm that the thermometer In the
committee room, laboring under the
combined heat of the weather and the
debate, threatened to go out on a strike.
Chairman Martin finally adjourned the
committee without having taken any
action on the measure.
The committee on education, Mr.
McMIchael, of Marlon, chairman, met
Monday afternoon and organised for
the transaction of business. Mr. Hold
er, of Jackson, was elected secretary.
The committee has a number of bills
to be acted upon nt)d will be kept rath
er busy during the next few days.
"Have a drink, suh?"
Representative Nix, of Gwinnett,
wheeled In his chair and faced the por
ter at the cnpltol Monday morning and
his gaze fell upon a glass of amber-
colored fluid which the latter poised
expectantly In front of the representa
tive
Thanks, I do not drink beer," re*
sponded Mr. Nix as he again turned to
his desk.
"Not beer, suh. This Is water,” In
formed the porter ns he held the glass
temptingly In front of the heated brow
of the statesman.
What! Tlyit stuff water? No,” ex
claimed Mr. Nix. "I may not have the
wisdom of Solomon, but you can’t fool
me on as small a thing as a glass of
beer and palm It off on me for water.”
Then the porter proceeded to explain
to the representative that the fluid In
the glass was water. In spite of the
external evidence to the contrary, and
though his knowledge of chemistry was
woe/ully deficient, he tried to explain
that water Is water, and that a handful
or two of mud and sand could not
change Its Identity, and wound up the
argument by again offering a drink.
Mr. Nix was skeptical and again de
clined.

“Camilla" Next Week.
Manager Allen Fawcett, of the Faw
cett Stock Company, announces "Ca
mille" ns the bill for this popular stock
company at the Grand theater next
week. There is perhaps no play on the
American stage that Is stronger in its
love story than this, with Its scenes
taken from the fascinating life of
France. It has been presented In At
lanta so often that It® theme Is too
well known for need of outline here.
In the title role Miss Jane Wheatley
will have an opportunity for emotional
work, such as she has never had In any
of the bills heretofore. Regan Hugh-
ston, as Armand DuVal, will have one
of the strongest parts he has ever
played and entirely to his liking.
“Mist Hobbs" at ths Grand.
The matinee girls are passing criti
cism upon "Miss Hobbs" os being pre
sented at the Grand theater this week
by the Fawcett Stock Company. This
delightful society satire from the pen
of Jerome K. Jerome has been pro
nounced by press and public as the
most delightful comedy which has yet
been offered by this excellent com
pany.
Pastime Theater,
Those who have not seen the Ciaasen
sisters, the dashing dancing soubrettes
at the Pastime theater, on Peachtree
street, are missing a delightful vaude
ville treat. Al McDonald, In bis black
face monologue, is proving* his right to
the title of monarch of minstrelsy.
Miss Mazte Whitcomb, the 10-year-
old singer And dancer, has a turn that
is both novel and unique. She dances
her way Into popular favor at each per
formance.
Master Earl Whitcomb, the 4-year-
old rwmologulst. Is about the cutest
conversationalist who has yet cut loose
a line of talk.

That vaudeville Is entirely accept
able to Atlanta Is best evidenced by
the attendance this week. On Tues
day night the general public could no*
get scats, because tho Mystic Shrine
had engaged the entire theater. For
the balance of the engagement seats
can be obtained for any performance
at the Bijou box office until 6 p. m.
The acts making up the program
are the cream of excellence. There Is
enough comedy and good singing and
dancing, while the- novelty and specta
cle part of the entertainment Is far
ubove the average* Billy Beard in
Ms monologue has scored a errlflc hit,
wlille the McConnell .Sisters, as dainty
soubrettes as have ever been seen In
Atlantu. have become popular favor
ites. The juggling feats of Huston
and Company, the comedy of Mitchell
und Cain, and tho interest In the mov
ing pictures, Rose and Ellis in marvel
ous barrel Jumping, make up a pro
gram that Is tit for any vaudeville
theater in the land.-
Matinees are Thursday and Satur
day afternoons. Tickets can be ob
tained at the Bijou bog office.
Hon. Thomas E. Watson has been
Invited to tqke the platform in Atlanta

tion leaders, was sent him Tuesday

day night.
Dr. ty*oughton came In during the
meeting and responded to numerous
and repeated calls. For the first time,
he said, he would tell a story from his
life and as It fell from his lips Its ten
der pathos swept over the audience and
when he concluded hls story there was
not a dry eye among the hundreds
present. The doctor then opened up
with hls Invective and sarcasm and for
the next few minutes kept the audience
convulsed, and when he dosed the ap
plause rang out time after time.
The last speaker was Dr. J. W. Mil
lard. of Ponce DeLeon Baptist church.
No speaker evinced closer study of the
question than he. Amuziog statistics
rolled from hls lips. The very mass of
