SPECIAL ORDERS REFUSED Not Likely That Senate Lieuteu- ant-Governor. Bill Will Be Reached By House. "If reform I. needd anywhere Georgia today," raid Joe Hall In the houee Friday ipornlng, "It la In the senate." He was arguing the nece.alty for the house granting a special osder to consider the bill Increasing the membership of the senate to 75, which would require a constitutional amend ment. The special order was refused. A bill relative to the keeping of cer tain record. In the county clerk', of fices with a view to preventing the dormancy of Judgments was passed by the house Friday morning. The bill was by Mr. Dunbar, of Richmond. An attempt was made to set certain senate bills requiring constitutional amendments for special order of busi ness Friday afternoon and Monday, with a view to passing them In time for them to be advertised the required length of time before being submitted to the people for a vote. The bill to Increase the clerical force of the comp troller general was given a special or der. A special order for the senate bill creating the office of lieutenant gov ernor wa. refused, and It Isn't likely that this bill will be reached-by the house In time for It to be advertised and submitted to the people at the elec tion this fall. House Proceedings. Rev. B. E. L. Timmons opened the house with prayer Friday morning at 9 o'clock. Following the roll call and reading of the Journal, a motion to adjourn at 1 o'clock to I o’clock Sat urday morning, doing away with the afternoon Session, 4 was mad. by Mr. I.lttle, of Hancock. Mr. Alexander arraigned the mem bers for not attending to the business of the house. He said: "The house has passed 100 bills that were Introduced last ytar and there are still 600 bills held over from last year, besides the bills Introduced this year. "This matter of going to ball games and running home on Friday and not attending to the business of the house —I Introduced a resolution a few day. ago to require a record of the attend ance and unleia a member had a good excuse for being absent, he should not be allowed to draw his per diem. Some members whispered It about that I lived (lose by and could go home on a street This Is not true. I believe that CHINAMAN, MADE TO SIT AMONG NEGROES IN CAR, WANTS $5,000 DAMAGES Hong Hon, his feelings wounded and his body sore from Indignities alleged to have been Inflicted by a street car conductor, entered suit In the superior court Friday afternoon against the Georgia Railway and Electric Com pany. He demands $5,000 as compen sation ^or his wounded feelings. Hong Hon Is a Chinaman. His very name Indicates that, to say nothing of hla trailing pig-tall, hla silken gar ments, his eyes cut slightly on the bias. But he alleges that a street car con ductor ordered him to occupy a seat In the section of a car set aside for ne groes. The petition, filed by Lamar Hill and Harvey Hill, sets forth that Hong Hon was a passenger on a Marietta street car on July 14: that he paid his fare and occupied a aeat near the middle of the car. It is alleged that the conduc tor twice ordered Hong Hon to move Into that part of the car let aalde for negroes, which Hong Hon refused In dignantly to do. Thereupon, alleges the petitioner, the said conductor did grasp the petitioner by the arm and we should stay here and attend to the business the people have put In our hands. "This shirking of work should be slopped and I trust this motion will be voted down." The motion was voted down. Mr. Wright, of Floyd, Introduced a resolution to make the senate bill cre ating the office of lieutenant governor a special order for Monday, August 1. Not Treating Senate Right. Mr. Wright said It was necessary for ad conatltulonal amendment* to be de- - tded on by the houae before next Fri day. owing to the law requiring pub lishing of the amendments a certain lime before the election. He said the house bad not been treating the sehate right, as that body was practically up with the bouse bills submitted. Mr. Hall, 6f Bibb: 'The two bills passed by this house at the first of the session have not been acted on. These bills. It might be mentioned, were Introdurnl by Mr. Hall. rj-- . ^ On the m.tlun of Mr. Felder, of Bibb. The house. Mr. Wright's resolution was tabled. Mr. Trammell, of Harris, moved to reconsider the action taken by the house on house resolution No. (7, pro viding for an appropriation of $1(7000 for the Jamestown Exposition. The previous question being called Imme diately by Mr. Dunbar, of Richmond, the motion was voted on and over whelmingly lost. • Dupbar Bill Up. The bill by Mr. Dunbar, of Rich mond, to prevent the dormancy of Judg ments by requiring that but one execu tion docket be kept In each county, was taken from lha table for considera tion. Mr. Dunbar, the author of the bill, explained Its purpose, urging Its pass age. Mr. Overstreet, of Bcreven, offered a substitute to Mr. Dunbar's bill and spoke In favor of his measure, arguing that the latter would not necessitate new docket books. New Bills. The following new bille were Intro duced Friday and read the flret time by Reading Clerk McClatchey: By Mr. Duckett .of Banke: To reg ulate the manufaclure and sale of fertilisers. By Mr. Land of Wilcox: To repeWl act areatlng county court of Wilcox. By Mr. McMlchafl of Marlon: To require hotel and Inn keepers to thor oughly clean rooms and provide clean linen. By Mr. 8pence o'f Mitchell: To amend act establishing city court of Camilla. By Mr. Seymour of Whitfield: To enlarge the powere of the railroad com mission. _ .. _ By Mr. Bhultz of Lumpkin: To au thorite the commleeloner of pensions to pay pension where husband died prior to the maturity of his pension. Dunbar Bill Pattet. After the aubatltute was defeated the house passed the original Dunbar meaaure by a vote of »5 to 0. The Dunbar bill provides that the entering of an execution or the record ing of entries thereon by a proper of- fleer, upon the general execution dock et of the county, shall have the same effect In preventing the dormancy of the Judgment as If such entering and recording had been made on the dock et of the court from which the execu tion laaued, or on the docket of the superior court, IX such execution Issued from a Justice court, and that such entries are required to be made_ on such general execution dockets for thin e< The committee on rulevmade a re port recommending speclaT orders for house and senate bills, carrying conMI- tutlonal amendments, and limiting de bate on the bills given special order to thirty minutes The bill to Increase the membership of the senate to 75 was proposed for a special order, but the house voted It, * Ur uiirhall nf Thomas, moved forcibly eject him from the car, this being done publicly and to the great humiliation of Hong Hon, who suf fered great mental anguish thereby. Therefore, comes Hong Hon and prays punitive damages In the sum of $6,000 against the company, whose servant In flicted the Insult on Hong Hon. The suit presents nn Interesting proposition. There are seats provided by the city ordinances for white per sons and negroea. A Chinaman la not a white person, neither Is he a negro. If .the ordinance read "colored per- aons” n street car conductor might think himself Justified.. In placing a yellow man In the rear eeata. He might feel a hesitancy In placing a yel low man In the seats for white per sons. The problem Is a knotty one. But Hong Hon eete forth In hie peti tion that he le not a negro. Whether he ehovee the hot Iron over enowy shirt bosoms or mixes the pungent chop suey and the seductive blrdsneat stew Is not set forth In the petition. But that he, In company with other Chinamen, resents being classed with an Inferior race, la evident In the peti tion presented by him to the courts. the won’t of the senate caused much laughter.' Mr. Flanders, of Johnson: Do I un derstand the gentlemkn to say thet the senate? Is not proportionately represen' “ Taln't Representative.’’ Mr. Hall: 'Taln’t representative at all. Have you ever been over there? The motion to reconsider prevailed, but the resolution to give the bill special order was again voted down. The resolution to give the senate bill to create the office of lieutenant gov ernor a special order, caused some dis cussion and after It was voted down an attempt was made to reconsider, hut was unseccessful. Mr. Wright, of Floyd, said the house should take up some of the senate bills In a spirit of mere fairness. Hie aug- gsstlon had llttla effect, however. A special order was granted to the bill by Mr. Galloway, of Walton, to amend the constitution relative to the widows of 1 Confederate soldiers. Later, on a reconsideration, a spe cial order was given the senate bill to Increase the clerical force of the comp' trailer general. Anti-Do-Nothing. Mr. Wright, of Floyd, Introduced an amendment to house rule number one, compelling the attendance of members who have not been properly excused. In support of his amendment he said: "It Is mere folly, for us to continue at the present rate. The votes today have disclosed the presence of a bare quorum. Members leave whenever they want to, to go to the ball game or any other piece. Such practices as this must stop If we expect to accom plish anything. We must give the pre siding officer power to force the mem bers to attend and t believe we have a speaker with the backbone to carry out the rule." • It was evident that the majority of the members of - the houae preferred the present easy-going pace to the strenuous work Mr. Wright would have them do. There wee a number of motions from every part of the house In an attempt to kill the Wright amendment, which was finally tabled on the motion of Mr. Mitchell, of Thomas. It was noticeable that all the stren uous workers In the house supported Mr. Wright, who attempted to get an aye and nay vote, that the members would have to place themaelver on record. The members were too foxy, however, and tabled the Wright reso lution. • On the motion of Mr. Felder, of Bibb,- the house adjourned to meet again at S o'clock. ■ Cigarette Bill Passes. At the afternoon session Thursday the anti-cigarette bill by Mr. Porter, of Floyd, and Mr. Com. of Towns, was passed by a vote of 107 to 0.

Rockport, Maas., July $7.—The flret serloua accident which haa occurred since the battleships of the North At lantic fleet arrived here for their ma neuvers was reported early today. While two miles oft shore yesterday afternoon a two-inch steam pipe on the Illinois broke, .severely scalding two men and flooding the starboard engine room with water. Tha names of the men Injured were not obtainable. They were sent to the ward room of the battleship for treatment. It was also reported today that only by the smallest margin did the battle-' ship Indiana avoid colliding with the Alabama, after' coming In from the maneuvers yesterday. The ships came Into the harbor In a column about 25 feet apart. The Alabama preceded the Indiana. When the order was given to drop anchors, the anchor on the In diana was dropped, but Captain Paus- alg, on .the Indiana, failed to reverse hls engines. The ship was traveling about alx knots at the time and drag- Kcd her anchor about 150 fathoms of chain. The Alabama had come to a full stop and a collision was averted by but a small margin. WIDOW OF SAGE GETS HIS RICHES Continued from Page One. Stump's stand In the matter, aa he ex pressed himself today, was emphatic and unequivocal. Thi Troy heirs of Russell Sage are determined to fight the will to the very end, even to the United States supreme court If that should become necessary. "We believe Mr. Sage's Inability to attend to hls own affairs," said Law yer Stump, "for the past few years Is almost so plain as to need no proof. And, we can show, If necessary, that he was dominated by several persons end was not allowed to conduct hls business for a long time. This ap peared to be a matter of general knowl edge. A bodyguard had been employed to look after hie wants end to keep him from doing anything that would tend to reveal to the public hls serious condition." They May Compromise. Then Lawyer Stump made a state ment, most significant In Itself, as in dicating that some compromise between Mr* Sage and the other relatives might be arrived at without a contest of thy will. But he refused to go into details or vouchsafe any explanation. "We may not contest the will. We hope,'In the first place, that its pro visions may make this unnecessary. We can say better what we will do when we know positively Just what the provisions of the will are. But In any case If the thing prove unsatisfactory my clients are prepared to fight for their rights. We can show that some time prior to the signing of the will, Russell Sage wea placed against hie own wishes Jn the care of Thomas Reilly, a nurse. At the time Russell Sage was (* years old. That he had become completely Incompetent, and although he appeared almost dally at hla office, he was taken there by Reilly merely to humor the old man’s senile Illusions. Nurse Wes in Charge. "When Reilly was placed In charge of the old men. he found him In a moat deplorable state. The old man was going about In ragged clothes, did not wear underclothing, either In winter or summer, and pottered about, buoy with the sewing oil of buttons, the patching of hls own shoes and the cleaning of stains from bis poor cloth ing. It was due to Reilly that these things were changed and Russell Sage at least presented the appearance of being In bis right mind."

Pittsburg, Pa., July 27*—It was In timated by attorneys for the defense, after the Hartja divorce proceedings before Judge Fraser had reconvened this morning, that a sensation would be sprung. By this It Is thought that the "Schenley Park blonde" woman Is to appear In the case for the pur pose of corroborating the eletement of Tom Madina, who declared on the witness stand that he had seen the two, .Harije and this mysterious wom an. driving In Schenley Perk together. The prosecution, too, It le thought, le about to play Ita final card, which, as, has repeatedly been Intimated by At torneys Ferguson and Merron, will cre ate a decided sensation, or In the words of Attorney Ferguson, "create a stench to the nostrils of every person In the court room."
