6 INTERESTING And Important Was Yester day’s Work. MUCH FINANCIAL TALK. A Committee Appointed to Critically Examine the State’s Treasury. _ * Special to The Tribune. Atlanta, Nov. 28—The discussion over the amount of money in the various depositories of the state which was brought cut by the bill of Mr. Persons, which passed the sen ate yesterday, is going to result in anoth er investigation. • The bill, and the report of the joint committee to ascertain the money on hand to the credit of the school fund, and whether they can be paid quarterly have resulted in a coifl'ct of figures, which is not understood, and the result is that attention has been directed to wards the treasury. Os course nobody in Georgia has any idea that there is one cent wrong n the treasury. That must be clearly understood, for certainly the gentlemen who have suggested the reso lution have no other idea, but they do think that the law regulating deposito ries is wrong, aud they want to get at the 'exact facts iu this school matter. A Po.nt of Personal Privilege. The senate bad a little sensation when Senators Hatcher and Chambers arose this morning t> a question of personal privilege. The Constitution of today contained an interview with Hon. W. M. Fleming which raised the direct question of fact as to the truth of the report of that joint committee which said that there was sufficient money in the treas ury to pay the teachers and widows and soldiers quarterly without any further legislation. That report seemed astound ing, and naturally resulted in a great deal of inquiry. Mr. Fleming felt with the others, and his interview showed that he was right. Senator Chambers and Senator Hatcher were on this j rint committee and they did not at all relish the criticism cast on the committee, and both said they were unwilling to let it pass nnnoticed. They referred to Mr. Fleming’s statement con cerning their report and said that if the report is false the treasurer is responsi ble. Mr. Hatcher went further, and crit icised the treasurer for failing to make a report as required by law. More Financial Legislation. Following this came the resolution made yesterday by Mr. Humphries. A substitute came up which was after some little discussion, unanimously adopted. It cites the fact that at the last session a bill was urged for passage, authorizing the governor to issue $368,000 worth of Jyjßtts’ad'dß-to provide a fund to pay the public school Reachers quarterly; that a joint committee investigated the condi tion of the treasury andm.de their re port showing a large sum of money in the state treasury; that at the present session a joint committee was appointed to ascertain what deficiency, if any it was to pay the public school teachers quar terly and that the said committee had re ported that the treasurer had informed them that there were ample funds in the treasury to pay the teachers quarterly if the soldiers and widows were also paid quarterly; and it goes on to say, Whereas, It appears from the books in the executive office that the pensions for widows are not paid until tax for said purpose collected and turned into the treasury; and Whereas, A joint resolution has been introduced into the senate reciting that deposits have been made in certain state depositories, largely in excess of the amount required of such depositories; and Whereas, The treasurer has failed to mW mffl m IJF K i O B *S DEIICMDED WE guarantee a cure| S 1 Jjr ■■■ II B * Ba careful investigation as to our responsible ] BB 2 g|| B ■ BHB HHM il y and tbo merita oi our Tablets.

OHlft make a report to this session of the gen eral assembly the condition of the treas ury as rt q iired by law; It is therefore resolved that a joint committee of three from the senate and five from the house be appointed to re port as early as practicable the true con dition of the treasury, the amount of money in the various depositories, when I such money was paid into the treasury, and the reason if any, why the public school teachers cannot be paid quarterly and also the pensions. The committe shall have full power to examinebooks and papers, subjoena witnesses, also to examine same and exercise all other pow* ere necessary to make a full and complete performance of their duties. When it came to the appointment of the committee the chair n med Messrs. Daley, Humphreys and Reese. Later, on motion of Mr. McAfee, Mr. Persons was added, Mr. Persons being the author of the original bill on this subject. The senate passed the requisite two thirds majority on the bill submitting an amendment to the people to increase the number of supremo court judges to five. The house had a special order, Mr. Fleming’s bill to pay teachers quarterly, and for the better direction of the public school fund. This is one of the most important measures whieh has been be fore the general assembly. There was some discussion over certain features of it, but the majority of the house favored it with the amendment submitted by Mr. Flemming, Mr; Roddenbury and Mr. Rankin, which were designed simply to perfect the working features of the bill. The house has accepted the invitation of the Augusta exposition for Thanks giving day. An effort was made to secure an ad journment for three days but that failed, and the members will go to Augusta for that day, returning for work on Friday and Saturday. MANY TRAMPS Are Passing Tnrough on Their Annual Pil grimage. Many tramps have pissed through the edges of the city during the past week. Many of them are men of rather good ap pearance, who, on asking for food, tell stories of being thrown out of work and now on their way to some place where they can get something to do. Others are of the ordinary tramp char acter, but they, too, put up a plea of no work, and when offered work are always too unwell to accept. Much complaint is heard of some of their actions. To Preserve the White City. Chicago, Nov. 23.—The White City is to be preserved for several years. The South park board of commissioners held a joint meeting with the.executive com mittee of the World's" Fair director;; and decided to accept the buildings and a sum of money sufficient to keep them in repair "or some time. What the final -disposition of the structures will be, re mains for the public to say. The state buildings and many of the foreign build ings will be removed, but the triumphs of architecture erected by Chicago will remain. Seized on Canada’s Fishing Ground. Sandusky, 0., Nov. 23.—The fishing tug Oggel, belonging to the Sandusky Fishing company of this city, was seized near Pelee island by Canadian authori ties. The boat and crew of six were taken to Amhertsburg, where they are held on the charge of fishing in Canadian waters. More seizures may follow. There is great excitement among fisher men here, and litigation is likely to grow out of the seizure. Good for the Gulf Road, Topeka, Nov. 23.—The promoters of the much talked of Interstate and Gulf railroad, which is proposed between North Dakota and Galveston, are much encouraged at the receipt by Governor Lewelling of a letter from Alfred Chris tensen, a ship owner of Copenhagen, in forming him that a company had been formed there to take hold of the gover nor’s gulf transportation project. THE WEEKLY TBIBUNE, THUKSmAV, NOVEMBEB SO. 1893. FROM THE CAPITOL. What the Georgia Legislators are Doing. NEW BILLS INTRODUCED. One to Establish and Industrial Department at the Deaf and Dumb Institute. Special to The Tribune. Atlanta, Nov. 22. —The joint commit tee on the Hayes and Scott bonds, made its report to-day, and that report is a strong argument in favor of the imme diate liquidation of this debt, which the state undoubtedly owes. They go into the details of these bonds, show how every requirement of the state has been fulfilled, and say that in their opinion, there is no reason why there should be any question of immediate liquidation of this debt. The members of the house listened to the report very attentively, showing great interest in the matter, and when the matter comes up for discus sion next Tuesday it will doubtless be very cirefully considered. There is some possibility of opposition from the ele ment which objects to everything, but the fair minded members of the house and senate seem to strongly favor the immediate settlement of this question. Bill Smith Again, Capt. Bill Smith was the central figure of a right lively scene today. Capt. Bill i s chairman of the house committee ap pointed to act with the senate committee to view the obstructions in the Savannah river which are said to prevent fish from finding their way into the headquarters of the river. The committee, it will be remembered, went to Augusta on the opening day of the great exposi tion, declined to visit the manufacturing establishments as invited by the officials of Augusta, but they did co and visit the dam, and today reported that in their opinion this dam was an obstruotion, and asked the governor to appoint a commit tee of two to act with the fish commis sioner and see that the obstructions were removed or proper improvements made. Mr. Cumming, of Augusta presented a minority report in which he claims that the committee failed to investigate the matter thoroughly, and that any recom mendations they might make, are, on that account valueless. Capt. Bill made a strong and lively speech in favor of bis n port, in which he argument on the idea that the man who drives an oxcart in Hart county has just as much right to enjoy his shad as the manufact urer of Augusta. The speech created a good deal of fun and the whole matter will come up later. Mr. Wilcox’s effort to reeonsider his bill, abolishing the Teachers’ Institutes, was reconsidered this morning. The bill by Mr. Lewis, of Milton, was killed very dead by tho house. It pro vided that the primary election laws of the state be abolished. Freeman, of Troupe, and West, of Lowndes, sup ported the bill. Mr. Mershon said a few words against it, and when it was put on its passage, it received only thirty-three votes to eighty-eight in opposition. In the Senate. The senate, in executive session again refused to confirm Massey, of Walker county. He claims that he is not a re publican, but the facts are pretty strong against him. Mr. Calvin's resolution, providing for reports showing the resources of Geor gia, or rather hand bocks, was consid ered by a committee of the whole, and was referred to the finance committee. Mr. Veach introduced his state bank bill today. The committee having this matter in charge reported progress, and asked for further time. Among the new bills were one by Mr. King, of Fu’ton, designed to kill out ticket scalpers, and one by Mr. Stapleton to kill the business of selling futures. Mr. King’s bill provides for a redemp tion by the railaoads of any unused por tions of railroad tickets. Mr. Stapleton wants to put a $30,000 speeial tax on anybody dealing in futures. The principle business in the senate was the discussion oyer the bill of Mr. Jenkins, making it unlawful for anybody to negotia e for the sale of liquor in any dry county. There was a good deal of discussion on this, and the bill was finally tabled on the request of its friends. For the De > f and Dumb, The bill introduced on yesterday by Mr. Neel, of Floyd, to establish an in dustrial and mechanical department at the deaf and dumb institute at Cave Spring, where the inmates can be taught useful trades, seems to meet with favor. In speaking of the measure today Mr. Neel saidr “I have discussed the bill with several members of the house and met with much encouragement. They seem to ap preciate the necessity for educating theee deaf children in such useful trades and occupations as will enable them to be self supporting, and thereby relieve the state of the expense of their maintenance. I believe it will bs in the line of practical economy to spend a small amount uow in fitting these chil dren to take care of themselves in the fu ture. The joint committee of the sen ate and house who visited Cave Spring last week were unanimous in recom mending this appropriation, and I am hopeful of its pass ge.” In the senate Hnmphries introduced a resolution providing lhat joint commit tees on finance shall investigate the condition of the treasury, with a view of ascertaining exactly how much is in the state depositories. There seems to be a general sentiment to permit increase of bond by deposito ries, so they may hold more money. The State Board of Health. Atlanta, Nov. 24 —The special order in the house today was the board of health bill of Mr. Mershon. After it was read Mr. Osborne introduced a substi tute differing very materially from the original bill of Mr. Mershon. Mr. Mer shon’s bill provides for a practical work ing machinery in the shape of a state board of heajtfr.and a state health’ofiL cer who'shall have absolute charge, not only to wipe out epidemics but, if possi ble, to prevent them. The bill naturally involved some cost, and has opposition from the ultra-eco nomical specialists who have no other idea than to pose as “saving money of the dear people.” Osborne’s substitute is a sort of wishy washy affair by which the governor is iven full power to take steps necessary to prevent infectious diseases, and was designed, so its author states, simply to head off the bill of Mr. Mershon. It looks like a clash between Brunswick and Savannah, in which Savannah pre fers the existing order of things with the quarantine in the hands of the official government, while Brunsw'ck wants the quarantine and practical working of the health department in the hands of the state. Judge Mershon made a strong speech in support of his bill, and had the floor when the hour for considering local matter came. The Shad Question. Smith, of Gwinnett, the special cham-, pion of the shad question introduced another bill on that line today. It pro vides that the governor shall appoint two citizens to act with the committee al ready constituted to hear evidence how shad shall go over that Augusta dam, shall order the destruction of atiy obstacles and the building of fish ways. If the committee decided that fish can’t go over the dam the governor is to detail attorney-general Terrrell to aid in enforcing the rights of shad. By a vote of 103 to 4, Mr- Calvih's reso lution providing for a hand-book, setting forth the resources of Georgia passed the house. To Investigate the Treasury, The house passed the senate joint res olution providing for an investigation of the treasury, Mr. Fleming asking that it be called up at once and adopted in jus tice to the treasurer. Both houses re ceived a telegram from President G. Gunby Jondan of the b ink which is the State depository at Columbus, asking that he be alowed to appear before the committee to show all the facts concern ing the much discussed deposits of mon ey. Among the new bills in the house is one by Mel Branch to prohibit railroad corporations from requiring train hands to work three nights in succession. The penalty is forfeiture of from SSO to SSOO which is to go to the school funi. Two Bocal Bills. Mr. Nee), of Floyd, introduced this morning, by request, a bill to amend the charter of Rome so as to exclude the property of Mrs. Mary Nixon from the city limits. Also a bill to require the commission ers of Floyd county to prepare and keep in their offi ie, as insolvent tax digest, showing the names of all insolvent in de faulting tax payers. Banker Clarence Overman, of Cincin nati pleaded guilty to embezzlement on counts and was sent to the penitentiary for ten years.
