House Sustains Rules
Committee’s Action
Atlanta, July s.—Despite the
opposition of Mr. Anderson, of
Chatham, and others, the house
of representatives Monday rallied
to the support of the rules com
mittee, sustaining that body in
every recommendation made,
The main fight against the
committee was an effort to block
the consideration of the Cabaniss
fertilizer bill, to prohibit fillers
in fertilizers. This bill is model
ed along lines similar to the sen
ate bill by Senator A. O. Blalock.
The house uphled the committee’s
recommendation to take up the
bill by a vote of 88 to 5.
The house voted to hold after
noon sessions this Monday and
Tuesday. The senate retolution
to request the governor to file
suit for the recovery of the Tal
lulah Falls property was set as a
special order for Monday after
noon. Debate on this resolution
will be limited to one hour.
The house, amid applause, ac
cepted the invitation of President
Slaton, of the senate, to attend a
barbecue at the Cold Springs ’cue
grounds. :
The house was then resolved
}into a committee as a whole to
take up the general insurance
bill brought over from Sat
urday under the head of unfinish
ed business. Five sections were
were passed with slight amend
ments and the bill will be taken
up again at this afternoon’s ses
sion. |
The amendments to cut down
the salary of the insurance com
missioner and his deputy were
killed, but an amendment Was§
passed to require that the deputy
commissioner be a man of actual
experince.
Another amendment provided
that no agent or officer shall re
ceive more than 10 per cent from
the sale of any stock, the origi
nal bill having placed the limit
of 12} per cent.
A third amendment exempted
industrial companies from requir- ‘
ing medical examination of appli
cants, and the last amendments‘
be held as representations only, {
and not as warranties,. ‘
There are 16 sections of the
bill yet to be acted on. }
Graces’ Friends Are
Expecting Reconcili
ation
Atlanta, Ga., August B.—That
a reconciliation between KEugene
Grace and the wife who was tried
and acquitted on the charge of at
tempting to murder him will come
to pass in the not distant future
is the confident belief of persons
who are well acquainted with both
parties.
Yesterday Grace, on his sick
bed at his mother’s home in New
nan received a postcard from Sav
annah on which were written the
following words:
‘‘Many happy returns on your
30th birthday. Hope to be with
you on your 31st, if you say so.”
Though there was no name
signed to the message, Grace’s
friends profess to believe it was
sent by his wife, who passed
through Savannah on her way to
Philadelphia.
Later the information came
from Savanpah that Mrs. Grace
had bought a birthday card ata
news stand and asked the clerk to
write a message to her husband,
upon promise of keeping a secret.
Mrs. Grace’s lawyers have de
clared ever since they took her
case that her affection for Grace
is the dominant trait of her char
acter,
In the event Grace reeovers
from his paralysis, which he says
he will, everyone here would be
surprised if there was not a recon
ciliation.

THE LEADER-ENTERPRISE, FRIDAY, AUGUST 9, 1912
House Brings Forth |
Real Insurance Bill
Atlanta, Aug. 6. —From a mean
ingless jumble of nothing the
Georgia house of representatives
has forged and wrought a real
and purposeful sort of insurance
laws for this state, placing that
business on a high plane and
stregthening the development of
solid insurance in the south im
measurably.
To young Representative O. T.
Gower, of Crisp, goes much
of the credit for this distinctive
step forward. As chairman of
the special legislative committee
working the recess this young
man gave weeks and weeks ef
his valuable time for study and
research into the insurance laws
of many states, within itself a
huge task. Then, when the meas
ure came into the huuse for pas
sage it became his duty to steer
the measure through the
breakers to ultimate success.
Anp not anamendment was. made
in the original bill in the commit
tee of the whole house that did
not materially strengthen the
measure,
Thee days practically have been
spent on this bill, and it was com
pleted in the committee of the
whole house before noon today
and then passed the house by the
record vote of 142 to 0. Mr. Gow
er received the hearty and sin
cere congratulations of the mem
bers for his work, for no more
important piece of legislature has
passed the house this session.
THE MEASURE IN TABLOID
Here are the salient features
of the measure, briefly stated:
1. Provides for an efficient
department of insurance.
2. Puts all fees and license
taxes into state treasury; places
insurance commissioner on salary
of $3,000 per annum; provides
for deputy insurance commis
sioner, with experience as ac
tuary, $3,000 salary.
3. Enlarge powers of insur
ance commissiorer and gives him
authority to kill all ‘“‘wild-cat’’
concerns.
4. Prohibits ‘‘board contracts,”’
‘‘special contracts’’ and all other
discriminations.
5. Prohibs rebates on prem
iums.
6. Prohibits ‘‘income certifi
cates.”’
7. Requires all soliciting agents
to procure licenses from insur
ance companies before soliciting
business.
8. Regulates and controls pro
motion of insurance companies
by limiting commissions on sale
of stocks to 10 per cent.
9. Provides for fire marshal
to prosecute incendiaries.
10. Gives the insurance com
missioner authority to take
charge of insolvent conpanies.
11. Places all insurance com
panies under the insurance com
missioner.
The bill contains 39 sections in
all, and is considered as good an
insurance law as any state has.
Mr. Adams, of Hall, offered an
amendment to require all foreign
companies doing business in the
state to invest 75 per cent of
their reserve fund in the state,
but it was defeated. This amend
ment was in effect the same as
the Mann bill, killed in the senate
a short time ago.
Gov. Brown Knocked
Down by Bicycle
Atlanta, Aug. 6.—While cross
ing Peachtree street yesterday
afternoon on his way to catch the
Marietta car, Gov. Brown, after
having dodged two aubomobiles‘
and a street cer, was knocked
down on the pavement by a bi
cycle messenger. The boy was
frightened for a moment, but the
Governor got up with the agility
of a football player and remark
ed, “Well, bud, was anybody
hurt?”’
~ The boy rode on much relieved.
;There isn’t even a seratch on the
Governor.
