Joe Brown’s Colorful Political Career Is Reviewed as Dormitory Is Dedicated Today To Georgia’s Famous War-Time Governor Joseph Emerson Brown, Geor gia’s war-time governor, known throughout his colorful political life as Joe Brown, was eulogized here today at the dedication of the Joseph E. Brown dormitory at the University of Georgia. Judge Samuel H. Sibley of the United States Circuit Court of Ap peals, an alumnus of the Univer sity, reviewed Brown's life, stress ing his independence, farsighted ness and the soundness of his views in the light of happenings since then. Brown, according to Judge Sib ley, was an ardent temperance ad vocate. “A minor matter is of modern interest,” he said. “As a committee chairman he reported adversely on a bill to incorporate the sons of Temperance of which he was a member on the ground that the cause was a moval one and would be harmed more than helped by any legal support.” Brown was iln advance of his times on education. “With no sys tem of public schools in Georgia, kut only an unnopular fund to aid poor persong, Governor Brown in GUNMEN WOUND TWO BYSTANDERS One of Innocent Women Hit by Machine Gun Bul lets May Die NEW YORK — (AP) — Gang gunner struck down two innocent women Thusday in a skirmish that threw Broadway into a shrieking panic. . The women, one of whom may die, were dropped in the street by slugs “from ‘automatic shotguns when two carloads of hoodlums, racing south toward the white light area, poured a fusilade into a third automobile. The target car, spitting gunfire, careened around a corner and crashed into an iron fence. Two men, trailing bleood, were seen to tumble from it and limp quickly away. The shattered car, its ton neau ripQ2d and dlood-stained, was registered in the name of Edward Rosen, but at a Bronx house given as his addres he was not known. Sadie Fortine, who is 45 years old, was walking on Broadway near 81st street when a slug struck her in the back. At Knickerbocker hospital, doctors found her condi tion to be eritical. Irene Savage, 24, dropped with a bullet wound in her shoulder. Walter O’'Donald@ of (93 Maple street) Hornell, N. Y., had stopped to look at some shoes in a display window when the running battle roared by. A 'slug grazed his head, knocking him down, but he was not seriously hurt. Roars from an automobile ex hause, gangland’'s favorite device to drown the sound of bullets, sig nalled the start of the running fights. Passersby, looking up, saw three racing cars, one of them sandwiched between the other two. From the outside cars, bullets flashed at the one in the middle. Eleven slugs punctured it before it escaped around the cormer. In the bloody tonneau were found two pearl grey fedoras, one of them bearing a Newark, N. J., store label. Police, certain that the two men who escaped after the crash must be badly wounded, asked all hce® pitals” to be on the lookout for bullet-wound cases. No one in the panic-stricken throngs took the numbers of the other two cars, and police were without clues as to their occu pants. 3 LOCAL WEATHER Fair Thursday night and Friday except probable local thundershowers Friday after noon in northwest and west central pecrtions. iiiiim— TEMPERATURE Highest .... <.co oove sss 900 LOWEST .ivs woin ssae oBT MERAN ... csod seon Sues +.80.5 Normal .... es:s sses ssesTl2:o RAINFALL Inches iast 24 hours .. .... a 1 Total since May 1 .. .. .. 2.16 Deficiency since May 1 .... .84 Average May rainfall .. .. 3.69 Total since January 1 .. ..16.,93 Deficiency since January 1. 4.82 Athens, Ca., Thursday, May 25, 1933. his message of 1858 urged the use of the earnings of the State Rail roadto accumulate a fund of SB,- 000,000, the interest of which was to be used in building schoel houses and helping 1o pay teach ers. The plan was rejected,” Judge Sibley said. Other proposals such as the ap pointment while Governor of a state chemist for sod analysis and a state geologist to advance the mineral resources of the state il lustrate Brown’s progressiveness, according to the speaker. As to the war, Judge Sibley sald, “Governor Brown was equally far sighted and more fortunate. Se cession was in his blood; he thought the occasion justified its use, but that coercion would likely follow. In 1868 Brown advised ac ceptance of reconstruction, partici pated in the election and the con vention, ahd making the best of a bad situation.
