Atlanta, May 27.—Thomas Ri ley Marshall, Vice President of tjie Unifed States, is a good deal busier man in Atlanta than he has ever been in Washington.

Three separate and dis tinct reception and entertainment committees were appointed to take care of him, one from the Chamber of Commerce, one from the Indiana society of Atlanta and one from a local college, witji the result that not even Theodore Roosevelt when lie came here ns President was more received and more entertained than Marshall. Each one of the reception com mittees planned a series of stunts, luncheons, auto rides and other gentle amusements for Mr. and Mrs. Marshall, so that they have been kept going ever since they stepped off the train. The Vice President's well kn&wn humor, however, is savlhg the situation arid he seems to be having a grand good time.' Unit ed States Senator- Hoke Smith, who introduced him at the thea tre last night, received as great an ovation as did the Vice Presi dent.
