Atlanta, May 22.—The bill giving all criminal court judges in Georgia legal authority to suspend sentence, and giving the right where they deem it wise to appoint probation officers, which lacked only 13 votes of becoming a law list year, will be re-introduced this June in the legis lature, and it Is believed It will pass by a substantial majority. The measure has .he sanction of the Prison Association of Georgia, and the changes wmcu it provides for have been endorsed by practi cally all the superior court judges in the State. The object of the bill Is, of course, to eliminate initial in justice in Georgia’s penal system by investigating the case of the individ ual offender at the time he comes up for trial. It is contended that no matter how upright the judges and officials may be, a certain proportion of injustice is bound to creep in, due to tne present system under which people accused of a crime, or misdemeanor, .particularly minor offenders hurried through the courts to the chalngang. The section of the bill which lates to the appointment of proba tion officers has reference to tne probation of adults, and will in no way afreet the laws already of force with relation to the handling of de linquent and wayward children. Necessary safeguards are contain ed in the measure. For Instance, no person convicted of a crime, the maximum penalty cf which Is more than ten years’ imprisonment, shall have the right to benefit by the act. Under this law, it shall be duties of th.e county probation officer to In vestigate the case of any person about to be brought before the court, to ascertain the history and previous conduct of the person ar rested, and such other facts as may show whether he cr she may be properly and safely released on pro bation under the provisions of this act. The measure has been given the careful consideration of judges, solicitors and criminal court law- jers throughout this state. They ar** practically unanimous in commend ing It. (From Tuesday’s Daily.) The City Fatneis met lu6t night and stayed in session for something ovei an hour. An ordinance mak ing it a penal offense for a hack- man to solicit business or wait upon the trade, while in an intoxicated condition, was passed, becoming a law. The matter of repairs to a certain old building just off Jackson street, in the fire district, was dis cussed and the matter referred to the fire committee for action. A’derman Bennett then asked for an investigation into the actions of Policeman Nazworth, charging him with insurbordinatlon and disre spect to an alderman. The charges arose out of the effort of Alderman ( Dennett to get him to drive some 1 cows to the pound, which he leu, PKOTKC’T PATIENT AND VENT CONTAGION, SAYS GEORGIA STATE llo * Hini/rn. PRE- THE Atlanta, Ga., May 20.—The dan ger in mumps, or what Is known to medical science as epidemic parot itis, is not so much in the disease itself as in the complications which are liable to attend it. For this reason It is important that the pa tient be carefully protected against possible complications, and also that precautions be taken against spread ing the contagion, 3ays the Georgia State Hoard of Health. The cause of mumps liaa never been definitely determined. Like the majority of the disease of child hood, it Is amng the mysteries of medicine. But it is a well establish ed fact that the disease Is contag iou8 and can be transmitted from one person to another. While infants and adults are TO BE STARTED FROM TIIOM-1 ASVILI.E WITHIN A MONTH !

Mr. Naz- v.orth was present and made his statement and so did Mr. Bennett, und Council, after hearing both sides, moved to dismiss the charges. It has been charged on the streets that Mr. Nazworth had refused to drive cows under a-ny consideration and this question was settled last night when at the question of Mr. McDougahl, the Mayor said that Mr. Nazworth’s first duty was to the. it, and care should be taken avoid the contagion. The greatest period of liability to the disease is from four to fifteen years of age. Mumps is one of tne oldest of known diseases. It was accurately described by Hippocralee, the n'i- clent Greek physician who noted the suppuration of the parotid gland, and the secondary inflammation of the other organs was even known to him.
