LEGISLATORS DISCUSSING
SLATON - HART FISTICUFF
ATLANTA, Ga., August 4.—Members
of the house and senate are still dis
cussing, almost to the exclusion of
a’i other topics, the attack by Repre
sentative Winn, of Hart county, on for
mer Governor John M. Slaton for enter
lirg the house of representatives yes
terday.
Representative Winn is the man who
opposed and filibustered against the
resolution at the outset of the session
indorsing President Wilson’s stand
against the German empire. He was
severely criticised in that connection
but the criticisms uttered against him
for his attack on former Governor Sla
ten are tenfold more severe. A dozen
members of the house have been heard
to declare that while they held no
brief for former Governor Slaton, they
would have demanded Representative
Winn’s immediate expulsion from the
house, if there was any procedure they
jcould follow.
The rules of the house extend the
rules of the house, among others, to
I former governors of the state. When
former Governor Slaton entered the
house on yesterday, Representative
I Winn demanded the reading and en
forcement of Rule 177. This is the rule
prohibiting unauthorized persons from
1 coming into the hall. Spectators fre
iquently get through the doors and a
I member demands the enforcement of
Rule 177. This is the rule prohibiting
unauthorized persons coming into the
hall. spectators frequently get
through the doors and a member de
imands the enforcement of the rule. The
[fact that an ex-governor is privileged
j to come on the floor was apparently
I well known to everybody except Rep-
I resentative Winn, so no attention was
[ paid to the reading of the rule so far
as former Governor Slaton was con
cerned.
After thirty minutes or such a mat
ter, former Governor Slaton left the
hall. As he was leaving, Representa-
I tive Winn rose to a question of per
sonal privilege and declared that he
' desired to resent on behalf of every
man and woman in Georgia the insult
I offered by a certain individual, who
had just taken advantage of his privil
ege to desecrate the house by his con.,
temptible presence. Before he could
proceed further, Speaker Holder’s ga
vel fell with a crash, and he ruled Rep
resentative Winn out of order. Rep
resentative Atkinson, of Fulton, ob
tained recognition and moved amid a
general uproar to expunge the remarks
of the gentleman from Hart from the
record. The motion was unanimously
and vociferously adopted.
Just before the house adjourned,
Representative Conger, of Decatur, in
troduced a resolution severely rebuk
ing Representative Hart for the “in
sult to the intelligence and decency of
the house of which he has been guilty
by his venomous and ill-advised re
marks and conduct.”
Representative Winn undertook to
defend himself. Speaker Holder stop-I
ped him with the statement that his j
remarks were out of order because a
former governor has as much right on;
the floor as a member of the house, and
that if he had known what Representa-,
tive Winn was going to say he would;
rot have recognized him, and that his
remarks tresspassed the rules and
tresspassed the courtesy due his fel-j
low members. Representative Winn.
then declared that he was sorry it he j
had tresspassed the courtesy due his j
fellow members. Representative John j
son, of Bartow, interrupted him with
the proposal that his apology be ac
cepted, and the Conger resolution be i
withdrawn. Instantly there were loud I
shouts of “No!” throughout the hall. I
Continuing Representative Winn de
clared that to the extent of his tress-i
pass upon courtesy, he regretted his
remarks, but nevertheless they were
a deliberate expression of the feeling,
in his heart and for so expressing him- I
self he had no apology to make.
The Conger resolution was then put
to a vote and was unanimously and
vociferously adopted.
Former Governor Slaton and Repre
sentative Winn engaged in a fist fight
at the Kimball House yesterday after
noon. Slaton was the aggressor, Winn
pointed out, and roundly slapped his
face. Many legislators commended the
former governor’s act.

>
WITH THE BRITISH ARMIES IN
FRANCE, August 4. — (Stiff Correspon
. uence of The Associated Press) —Blind
. himself, and head of the British Na
. tional Institute devoted principally to
. men blinded in the war, Sir C. Arthur
. Pearson, of London, was recently a
most interesting visitor at the British
front. His enthusiasm for all he
■ “saw” was unbounded, and he declar
ed he would take back to the sight
r 1 less men at home new words of en
couragement as to how “their” army
was carrying on.
.! Sir Arthur enmoed tne Vimy Ridge,
and to his great delight some German
shells broke so close they splashed
, him with mud and the party had to
take temporary refuge in a dug-out.
| “A man doesn’t have to see to know
when to duck, does he,” laughed Sir
Arthur in relating the incident that
! night. “I also find,” he added, "that
it doesn’t take long to know when they
are going and when they are coming.”
That is always a great source of en
, tertainment to visitors in the fighting
'zone. At first the shells that are go
' ing over from the British guns swish
/along through the sullen air with a
noise that is quite startling enough,
but the sight-seer “fortunate” enough
'tc hear a German missile “coming in”
soon finds its sings a somewhat dif
ferent song. Sir Arthur aptly describ
ed it.
“Our shells,” he said, “go with a
bang and whiz; the Germans come ov
er with a whiz and bang. It all de
-1 pends on the position of the whiz.”
I Sir Arthur was deeply impressed by
the work of the guns. He remained
1 with some of the batteries for a long
time and listened to their noisy mut
'terings with a keen appreciation of all
| that was going on about him. He was
I particularly delighted to hear above
the reverberating echoes the songs of
l larks—always to be remembered by
'the soldiers on this front as their ev
er-cheerful companions of trench and
j battle fields.
I Trudging over some of the older bat
tlefields of the Somme, walking thru
the trenches, and standing in the high
'er places where the panorama of bat
? tie spread below him, Sir Arthur drank
in the atmosphere of the war —the
meaning of it all. He “saw” the
“tanks” in repose and heard them at
drill, he stood outside a prison cage
ar.d visualized the round-capped Ger
mans within the barbed wire barriers.
He asked a guard if any of the pris
oners ever attempted to escape.
“Escape, sir?”, replied the old ser
geant; “why, sir, you couldn't drive
’em away; they likes being prisoners,
sir. they does.”
I The ruined cities of the Somme, Ba
' paume and Peronne, affected Sir Ar
thur deeply >
“I wished the whole world —all but
Ute Germans who already know what
they have done —could come and stand
I in the grand squares of these cities as
II did to-day,” he exclaimed, “and see'
'and feel the desolation and the wanton
destruction. They are ghost-like,,
these cities of the dead. I knew them
on motor trips in other days when they.
[were alive and I could see, and I could
picture the scene to-day as if I
'looking at a paititing. The Germans-,
lwill find, however, the day of reckon-,
'ing is near at hand. I shall take back
I words of great cheer to the men at St.
1 Dunstan’s."
| Entertained by officers of all ranks,
I Sir Arthur said his days and nights at'
the front had been filled to overflow-
■ ing. No visitor ever followed the
| workings of the vast British army ma- !
i chine with quicker, keener
tion and understanding than he. He.
I was gratified to find in the army a (
similar interest and appreciation in '
the work at St. Dunstan’s for the
blinded soldiers and sailors.
| Sir Arthur told of the resentment he
felt when unthinking people referred
to St. Dunstan’s as a “home” for the
i blind” as if the blind were to be segre
i gated there for the rest of their days.
“It is not a home for the blind,” he
protested, “and 1 do not believe in
‘homes’ for the blind. St. Dunstan’s
is an institution where those who can
not see are helped to equip themselves
t) retake their places in the ordinary
walks and affairs of life. Often des
pondent at first, they are set some
simple task and when they find how
easily it is done, a spirit of regener-'
at ion seems to come over them They
I catch the spirit of accomplishment and
thereafter nothin? is too great for
them to attempt.
“One of the most despondent men
[with whom we have had to deal was a
blinded ‘Tommy’, who had been a sort
cf steamfitter, or house heating ex
pert. None of the ordinary trades ap-|
pealed to him and he felt as if he were
[ altogether done for. Suddenly 1 asked
him how he would like to go back to
|his old job. He shook his head sad- 1
ly. It couldn’t be done. I told him

we would see about that. I wrote to
his old firm, and one of the partners
,'came to see me. I asked if they would
'take ‘Tommy’ back. I was assured the
1 firm would like to do so, but they
'could not see how a blind man could
'fill any post in their business. I ob
■tained a promise, however, that if I
J could assist the soldier to such an ex
tent that I felt he was extitled to a
trial they would do so.
“I immediately sent for all the avail
