The collapse of the roof carried
three huge steel girders into the
tumbled ruins and these arc be
lieved to have pinned down many
of the victims. Cries and groans
of the injured spurred the rescue
workers on to greater efforts.
The work of rescue was badly
hampered by the heat and danger
offered l>y the possibility of a
ollapse of the remaining walls.
The flames broke out afresh as
the wall and roof collapsed and a
fifth alarm brought additional ap
paratus. After 10 minutes of des
perate work rescuers brought out
one body, that of a fireman, and
five badly injured fire fighters,
who were sent to hospitals.
The smouldering ruins built a
sepulchre four feet high and cov-
ring half a block. Firemen, po
licemen and volunteer civilians at
tacked the pile from every side in
their efforts to get to the victims.

“THE DAYLIGHT CORNER”
Corner Broad and Jackson Streets
A committee
fit 1*. Jones, chairm;
Smith and J/>hn A. SiUley
appointed to probe the charges.
Mr. Smith stated Monday night
that the hearings would be public
would be held
sc, the evidence to be reported
a stenographer and the
mittee’s fitidings to be reported to
•sident Branch, of the bar
intion, for action by the entire
association.
Mr. Smith stated that becaus
if pressure of personal affairs h
ivould not he able to call a meet
ing of the committee befor
Thursday and that it was proba
ble that, the hearing would not be*
n until Friday.
At the meeting of members of
the Atlanta Bar Association, held
in the office of President Branch,
the recent charges by Edgar La
tham that Judge Howard had of
fered to secure Latham’s appoint
ment as solicitor general of Ful
ton superior court provided he
would “divide the fees of the of
fice” with Judge Howard, were
thoroughly discussed. These
charges and the statement by Mr.
Latham that the full facts of the
offer and circumstances were made
known to Governor Walker prior
to appointment of Judge Howard
form the basis of the investiga-
tin. The charges have attracted
wide interast and have caused the
biggest sensation in political cir
cles in Fulton county in many
years.
Mr. Latham stated Monday
night that he did not care to dis
cuss the matter further, declar
ing that he had given the “full
facta” in a previous public state
ment in order that the Atlanta
Bar Association, of which he is a
member and which, it is claimed,
practically unanimously endorsed
him for the judgeship, might un
derstand how the matter was
handled.
Governor Walker’s only state
ment since the sensational charges
by Mr. Latham and the appoint*
ment of Judge Howard to the
bench was made Saturday to the
effect that he “had appointed a
man whom I know be in every way
qualified and who is my loyal
friend.” The governor declined
to add anything to this statement.
Judge Howard has previously
stated that he (lid not think it
proper for a superior court judge
to engage in a newspaper contro
versy over a matter which he held
was terminated with the gover
nor’s appointment last week.

“We are trying to bring out of
these men the names of those
whom we believe' financed their
operations,” the sheriff declared.
“It seems almost certain that oth

orders for the operations of the

The federal government entered
the cast today when post office in

the question of city planning.
C. D. Flanlgen: A park and

ATLANTA. Ga.—“Red” Barron
Georgia Tech’s star football play
until 1922, and the greatest single
attraction of the squad, lost
of his galmour when he turned to
teaching a Sunday School class.
Red who has been In business,
or rather, connected with ,n busi
ness here, since the closo of the
1922 football soason, became
Sunday School teacher several
weeks ago. He was given a clasr
at the Baptist Tabernacle where
he and his young wife attend n
glous services. The membership
the class began to Jump ns soon
ns the word went out of Red’s
activity. It has steadily mounted
since until Its rolls now number
more than a hundred, officials ol
the Tabernacle say.
Red declares that while footbal’
is the greatest game on earth ho
gets almost ns much pleasure
of his class. He has thrown his
whole heart Into the work. His
talks center mostly around cle
living from tho viewpoint of
athlete, and one that got
Southern fame at that.
"I don’t know that there’s much
to say nbout It." Red responded
to inquiries. “I always lived clean
myself: we had to on *he squad

tages over the years Aside from
its spiritual value its a certainty
that you will always feel better
If you tuko enre of your body.”
