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.

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.

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 responded to inquiries. “I always lived clean myself: we had to on *he squad you know.
