HALL Says Body Has Veto Over House, But Is Not Repre-* sentative. SPECIAL ORDERS REFUSED Not Likely That Senate Lieuten ant Governor Bill Will Be Reached By House. "It reform le needd anywhere Georgia today," said Joe Hall In the houee Friday mornlnr, “It Is In the senate." He was arguing the necessity tor the house granting a special order 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 records In the county clerjc’s of- flees 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 was 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 tlon this fall. House Proceedings. Rev. B. E. L. Timmons opened the house, with prayer Friday morning at » o'clock. Following the roll call and reading of the Journal, a motion to adjourn at 1 o'clock to I o’clock 8at. urday morning, doing away with the afternoon session, was made, by Mr. Uttle, 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 ysar 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 days ago to require a, record of the attend ance and unlesa a member had a good excuse for being absent, he should not he allowed to draw his per diem. Some members whispered It about Shat I lived close by and could go home on a street car. This Is not true. I believe that we should stay here and attend to the business the people have put In our hands. "This shirking of work should be •topped 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 offlee of lieutenant governor a special order for Monday, August L Not Trssting Senate Right. Mr. Wright said It was necessary for ai! conatltulonal amendments to be de cided on by the house before next Fri day, owing to the law requiring pub lishing of the amendments a certain time before the election. He said the house had not been treating the senate right, as that body’was practically up with the house Mils submitted. Mr. Hall, of 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. 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 66,000 as coinpen satlon for hie wounded feelings. Hong Hon Is a Chinaman. His very name Indicates that, to say nothing of his trailing pig-tall; his silken gar' ments, his eyes cut slightly on the bias. But he alleges that a street car con ductor ordered htm 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 seat 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 set aside for negroes; which Hong Mon refused In dignantly to do. Thereupon, alleges the petitioner, the said conductor did grasp the petitioner by the arm and 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 110,400 for the Jamestown Exposition. The previous question being called Jmme- dlately by Mr. Dunbar, of Richmond, the motion was voted on and over whelmingly lost Dunbsr 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 the table for considera tion. Mr. Dunbar, the author of the bill, explained Its purpose, urging Its pass age. Mr. Overstreet, of Screven, offered a substitute to Mr. Dunbar’s bill and spoke In favor of his measure, arguing that the latter would not necessitate new docket hooka. New Bills. The following new bills were Intro duced Friday and read the first time by Reading Clerk McClatchey: By Mr. Duckett of Banks: To reg ulate the manufacture and sale of fertilisers. By Mr. Land of Wilcox: To repeal act creating county court of Wilcox. By Mr. McMIchapI of Marlon: To require hotel and Inn keepers to thor oughly clean rooms and provide clean ''"bv Mr. 8pence of Mitchell: To amend act establishing city court of Camilla. By Mr. Seymour of Whitfield: T< enlarge the powers of the railroad com mission. . .. _ By Mr. Shults of Lumpkin: To au thorise the commissioner of pensions to jay pension where husband died prior :o the maturity of his pension. 1 Dunbar Bill Passes. After the substitute was defeated the house passed the original Dunbar measure 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 ficer, 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 bad been made on the dock et of the court from which the execu- tlon Issued, or on thi docket of the superior court. If such execution Issued from a Justice court, and that such entries are required to be mads on such Venera! execution dockets for this **The committee on rules mads a re port recommending special orders for house and senate bills, carrying const!- rational amendments, and limiting de bit* on the bills given special order to thirty minutes. .. The bill to Increase the membership of the senate to 76 was proposed for a ■medal order, but the house voted It down. Mr. Mitchell, of Thornes, moved to reconsider the action. Mr Hell, of Bibb, urged the house to reconsider Its action, for the people de manded a change In the senate, which, he said, was not a representative body, but on. ths. merely held a veto over forcibly eject him from the car, this being' done publicly and to the great humiliation of Hong Hpn, who suf fered great mental anguish thereby. Therefore, comes Hong Hon and prays punitive damages lh the sum of 16,000 against the company, whose servant In flicted the Insult on Hong Hon. The suit presents an Interesting proposition. There are seats provided by the city ordinances for white per sons and negroes. A Chinaman Is not a whits person, neither Is he a negro. It the ordinance read "colored per sons” a street car conductor might think himself Justified In placing a yellow man In the rear seats. He might feel s hesitancy In placing a yel low man In the seats for white per sons. The problem Is a knotty, one. But Hong Hon sets forth In his pet! tlon that he Is not a negro. Whether he shoves the hot Iron over snowy shirt bosoms or mixes the pungent chop suey and the seductive blrdsnest stew is not set forth In the petition. But that he, In company with other Chinamen, resents being classed with an Inferior race, Is evident In the peti tion presented by him to the courts. 11 ARE SCALDED ON THE ILLINOIS AFTER EXPLOSION IN ‘SUSIE’ LETTER WAS A NOTE FROM Captain of the Indiana Nearly Causes a Serious Col liaion. the won't of the senate caused much ‘ er. Flanders, of Johnson: Do I un derstand the gentleman to say that the senate Is not proportionately represen tative? “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 offlee of lieutenant gov ernor a special order, caused some dis cussion and after It was voted down an attempt was made to reconsider, but was unseccessful. Mr. Wright, of Floyd, said the house should take up some of the senate bills In a spirit of mere fairness. His sug gestion had llttls effect, however. A special order was granted to the bill by Mr. Galloway, of Walton, to amend the constitution relative to the widows of Confedsrate soldiers. Later, on a reconsideration, a spe cial order was given the senate bill to Increaae the clerical force of the comp troller general. Anti-Do-Nothing. Mr. Wright, of Floyd, Introduced an amendment to house rule number one, compelling the attendance of members wbo 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 leavs whenever they want to, to go to the ball gams or any other place. Such practices as this must stop If we expect to accom plish anything. Ws must give the pre siding officer power to force the mem bers to attend and I believe we have a speaker with ths backbone to carry out the rule.” It was evident that the majority of the members of ths house preferred the present easy-going pace to the strenuous work Mr. Wright would have them do. There waa a number of motions from every part of the house In an attempt to kill the Wright amendment, which waa finally tabled on the motion of Mr. Mitchell, of. Thomas. It waa noticeable that all the stren uous workers In the house supported Mr. Wright, who attempted to get an aye and nay votfl, that the members would have to place themselves on record. The members were too foxy, however, and Mbled ths Wright reso lution. On the motion of Mr. Felder, of Bibb, the house adjourned to meet again at 1 o'clock. Cigarette Bill Pastes. At the afternoon session Thursday the anti-cigarette bill by Mr. Porter, of Floyd, and Mr. Corn, of Towns, was passed by a vote of 1*7 to 1. There waa considerable debate on the Mil. Mr. Porter leading the fight for It. Mr. Anderson, of Chatham, opposed the bill on the ground that It waa unnecessary and extreme paternal ism. The bill prohibits the manufacture and sale of cigarettes In the state. The house adjourned at 4:45 o'clock Introduce.) by Mr. HnlL K?* h0UM> His flippant remarka as to to meet Friday morning at 9 O’clock. On the motion of Mr. Felder, of Bibb, the nou-e. By Private Leased wire. Rock port, Maas., July 17.—Ths first serious • accident which has occurred since the battleships of the North At lantic fleet arrived here for thalr ma neuvers was reported early today. While two miles off shore yesterday afternoon a two-inch'steam pipe on the Illinois broke, severely scalding two men and flooding the starboard engine room with water. The names of the men Injured were not obtainable. They were sent to the ward room of the battleship for treatment. It waa also reported today that only by the amalleat margin did the battle ship Indiana avoid colliding with the Alabama, after coming In from the maneuvers yesterday. The ahlpa came Into the harbor In a column about 26 feet apart. The Alabama preceded the Indiana. When the order was glvan to drop anchors, the anchor -on tha In diana waa dropped, but Captain Paus- slg, on the Indiana, failed to rsverse his engines. The ship was traveling about six knots at the time and drag ged her anchor about 150 fathoma of chain. The Alabama had coma to a full stop< and a collision was averted by but a.small margin. WIDOW OF sSAGE GETS HIS RICHES Continued from Pago One. Stump’s stand In the matter, aa he ex pressed himself today, was emphatlo and unequivocal. The Troy heirs of Russell Sage are determined to fight the will to the very end, even to the United State* supreme court If that ■hould become necessary. "We believe Mr. Sage’s Inability to attend to his own affairs,” said Law yer Stump, "for the past few yean I* almost so plain as to need no proof. And, we can show. If necessary, that he waa dominated by several persons and waa not allowed to conduct his business for a long time. This ap peared to be a matter of general knowl edge. A bodyguard had been employed to look after his wants and to keep him from doing anything that would tend to reveal to ths public hla serious condition.” They May Compromise. Then Lawyer Stump made a state ment, most significant In Itself, aa In dicating that some compromise between Mrs. Bags and ths other relatives might be arrived at without a contest of ths wilt But he refused to go Into details or vouchsafe any explanation. "We may not contest ths will. We hops. In ths first place, that Its pro visions may make this unnecessary. We can say better what we will do when we know positively Just what ths provisions of the will are. But In any case It the thing prove ansatlafactory my clients are prepared to fight for their rights. We can show that some Urns prior to ths signing of the will, Russell Sage was placed against his own wishes In ths cars of Thomas Reilly, ■ nurse. At the time Rusaell Sag* waa M years old. That ht 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. e Nurse Wes in Charge. When Reilly was placed In charge of the old man. he found him In a moat deplorable state. Ths old man was going about in ragged clothes, did hot wear underclothing, either In winter or summer, and pottered about, busy with the sewing on of buttons, the patching of hi* own shoe* and ths cleaning of stains from hla poor cloth ing. It was dus to Reilly that these things wsr* changed and Russell Sage at least presented the appearance of being In bis right mind."
