STORMY SESSION OF
I WOOOMEOIRCLE ENOS
| ATLANTA, Ga.. Aug. 1. —The Wood
men Circle convention came to a close
yesterday morning at 11 o'clock. The
entire day Monday and Tuesday morn
ing was taken up with reading minutes
and the installation of an outer senti
nel. Mrs. Coleman, of Pennsylvania,
was elected to the office.
The convention has been in session
continuously since Tuesday. July 10,
and is the longest ever held by the or
der. It was also the stormiest in its
history. The first day- showed a divi
| sion of 41 to 27 and the same strength
was held by each faction during the
entire session.
One of the most bitterly fought res
olutions was that introduced by the
press committee, Mrs. Julia A. Sharp
and Mrs. Minnie Vann Murrah. A res
olution thankin; the Atlanta daily pa
pers for their news accounts of the
convention, was read and the storm
broke. Several of the faction oppos
ing Mrs. Manchester, the supreme
guardian, declared that the press of
Atlanta had been unfair and untruth
ful, while the minority stood firm that
the press had been very liberal. The
resolution was voted down by a vote
of 40 to 28. and two excused, one of
the latter being Mrs. Murrah, the state
manager for Georgia.

COLLEGE ENDOWMENTS MADE
EXEMPT FROM TAX BY SEN ATE
ATLANTA, Ga.. August I.—Exemp
tion of college endowments from taxa
tion won a notable victory in the sen
ate yesterday when it passed that body
by a vote of 34 to 7, and the friends
of the measure expect that it will get
through the house, where it has failed j
every year for several years, net on
account of the failure to get a major ty
but on account of the failure to get
the two-thirds majority required to
pass a constitutional amendment. The
membership of the house is 189. Two
i thirds of that number is 126. Thus the
I friends of exempting college endow
, ments must secure 126 votes to pass the
i bill in the house.
1 Georgia is one of the few states in
■ the union that does not exempt college
> endowments. The measure now pend
ing in the legislature has been up sev-
’ era! years. Always it has received a
' majority of the votes in the house, but
' never quite a two-thirds majority.
| While the state is unable to provide for
; its institutions of higher learning on :
j par with other states against whose
■ sons and daughters and sons and
' daughters of Georgia must compete
I in the great contest of life, it discour-
■ ages the development of private edu
cational institutions by refusing to ex
empt their endowments from taxa
tion.
