PUBLIC BUILDING BILL NOT PROPERLY PASSED?
i MR. MANN, MINORITY LEADER
| OF HOUSE, SAYS IT IS NOT LE
GITIMATELY A STATUTE.
OTHERS SAYS HE IS WRONG
Illinois Member Says There Was Not
Complete Agreement to the Confer
¢nce Report by Both the House
and the Senate,
The regularity of the passage of
the public building bill by the recent
toneress, which carries an appropria
tion of $40,000,000 and provides for
the erection of a federal building at
Dawson, has been raised by Congress
man Mann, of Illinois, the republican
leader in the house. A Washington
dispatch tells of the status of the
Matter as follows:
“The few members of the commit

of the house who are in town believe
that Representative Mann of Illinois

$40.000,000 omnibus public building

Clark, ‘I am at a loss to see.” The
members of the committee are of the
opinion- also that even if there had
been a techincal error in the pro
ceedings the bill could not be invali
dated after it had been signed by the
president.
“Representative Mann claimed last

throughout the country which expect
to have public buildings at an early

’HE IS ON TRACK OF GRAFT
Mayor Woodward Is Stirving Things
Up in Atlanta, The People
Are With Him.
ATLANTA, Ga.—Mayor Woodward
and his friends believe they see in
the charge that Fire Chief Cummins
accepted $4OO from a fire apparatus
agent the jgkey to the enigma of why
Atlanta has been forced to pay more
than other American cities for prac
tically everything that has been
bought in recent years.
They don’t mean by that that they
‘think the fire chief has done any big
grafting; they don’t charge that he
’ever got anything except this spe
cific $400; but they believe that other
:city officials and employes have been
dragging down in many instances theJ
same kind of petty graft on various
purchases and contracts, amounting
to small sums individually, but the
in the aggregate robbing the tax pay
ers of thousands. ;
When Mayor Woodward first went
into office he was frank to confess
his suspicions that there was petty
graft going on. The specific charge
against the fire chief confirms him in
the belief. Other investigations are in
progress or about to be instituted,
and other charges, it is believed, will
follow. :

flood sufferers will speedily go above

A SWARM OF CANDIDATES
Nine Applicants at Shellman for Post
master, aml Congressmamn Crisp
Has Been Down to Visit Them.
~ AMERICUS, Ga.—Congressman C.
iR. Crisp, who is spending ten days at
his home in Americus, left yesterday
for Shellman to mingle for a day
with his friends and constituents in
Randolph county, and ineidentally to
look into the race for the postmaster
ship in that thrifty town, in which
there are nine contestants eagerly
shaking the tree.
“I am sorry that only ene appli
cant can get the place where so
'many are warthy,” said Mr. Crisp as
he boarded the train yestex:day. Re
cently Mr. Crisp received at his home
here a delegation of Shellman citi
zens, who came to confer with him
regarding the postmasterships.
There are probably more appli
cants for the Shellman postoffice than
any other in the Third district,
though none are going begging.
BLONDES TURN RED-HEADED
Declare That Interview Recently Pub
lished in an Atlanta Paper Is
a “‘Perfect Shame.”
There are several typical blondes
of Atlanta who have turned red
headed over night as the result of an
interview published in a local paper
saying that blondes, as a rule, are
fickle and like butterflies, and that
brunettes are more constant.
The girls are all talking about it,
partieularly the school girls, and the
golden-haired ones say it is a ‘“‘per
fect shame.”
* They derive great comfort, how
ever, from the declarations of sev
eral ministers and teachers that
there is “nothing in it.” |
China Is Fast Eating Up |
the World’s Supply of Bread]
SAN FRANClSCO.—Simultaneous
ly~with the awakening of China a
shortage in the world’s supply of
flour and raw product for breadstuffs
is threatened, according to George
Bury, vice president of the Canadian
Pacific railroad, who returned today
from a visit to the Orient.
EXTRAVAGANT? WELL, HARDLY
WE MODERNS NOT IN IT WITH
LUXURY LOVING ANCIENTS.
What We Spend Now Is Nothing
Compared With Extravagance of
the Early Romans.
Somehow or other we moderns la
bor under the impression that we are
spending much more money and liv
'ing much more extravagantly than
‘did the people of the far-off golden
lda_\'s, when every maid was just nat
urally lovely without the aid of silks,
velvets and artificial love-locks and
fine feathers had naught to do with
the making of fine birds of either
sex. In reality that idea is all non
sense. What we spend nowadays is
nothing compared with the extrava
gance in the time of the ancient
Romans. When a festive oceasion oc-
Thanksgiving or Christmas the Ro
mans were fond of amazing their
guests with costly dainties, such as
'nightinga]es, peacocks and tongues
‘and brains of flamingoes. Caligua,
‘the Terrible, dissolved pearls in pow
dered acids, in imitation of Cleopatra,
and spent $400,000 on a single re
past. A dramatic friend of Cicero
paid over $4,000 for a dish of sing
ing birds; and omne famous epicure,
after having exhausted the sum of
$4,000,000 in his good living, poison
ed himself because he had not quite
a half million left.
Fish was a ravorite rooa, and the
mansions of the rich were fitted up
with fish ponds for the culture of
rare varieties, which were sometimes
caught and cooked on silver grid
irons b:fore invited guests, who en
joyed the changing colors of the
slowly dying fish and the tempting
Within a single year the increas
ed demand for flour for China has
emptied many of the big grain ele
vators in the Northwest, and flour
mills have been in operation day and
night to prepare the commodity for
the hungry millions in the new Chi
nese republic.
‘odor of the coming treat. Turbots,
}mackerels, eels and oysters were pop
curred then corresponding to our
!ular delicacies, and a fine mullet
"l;rougllt sometimes as much as $24.
In game the fatted hare and the wild
iboa,r, served whole, were ranked
first.
But the Romans did not confine
their extravagance to their eating.
The banquet hall was the most im
portant room in the house. Here
were reclining sofas made of brass
or of cedar inlaid with ivory, tortoise
ishell and precious metals and pro
| vided with ivory, gold or silver fee‘.
!'The citrus-wood = tables, so prized
among the Romans, cost from $40,-
000 to $50,000 apiece. Seneca is
said to have owned 500 citrus wood
tables. Vases of murrah—a sub-
Istance identified by modern scientists
with glass, Chinese pocelain, agate
and fluorspar—were fashionable,
and fabulous sums were paid for
them. An ex-consul under Nero had
a murrha wine ladle which cost him
$300,000, and which on his deathbed
he deliberately dashed to pieces to
prevent its falling into the hands of
grasping tyrants. Bronze and marble
statues were abundant in the houses
and gardens of the rich, and cost
’from $l5O for the work of an ordi
‘nary sculptor to $30,000 for a gen
‘uine Phidias, Scopas or Praxiteles.
SMOKED WHILE FOOT
. WAS AMPUTATED
Nerve of the Most Remarkable Vari
ety Is Exhibited.
Nerve of a most remarkable varie
ty was exhibited in an Atlanta hos
pital Monday evening when H. F.
Hopkins, a lineman from Anderson,
S. C., quietly puffed away at a cigar
ette while ‘the surgeons amputated
his right foot, which had been man
gled by a freight car. Hopkins de
clined to take an anaesthetic, saying
that he could stand the pain all right
if he was allowed to smoke a cigar
ette. And he did so without flinch
ing.
ADVOCATES WIFE-BEATING.
Many kinds of persons live in Chi
cago. For instance, one man there
advocates wife-beating. He points
out that the husband must be the

fact upon the wife she despises him.

|GHOSTLY WRECKAGE OF FOUND

‘ Foundering vessels on the Great
;Lakes, especially sailing vessels, fre
| quently sink so squarely that the
idiver who goes down to work on one
‘finds it resting on the bottom, as trim
and neat as if it were still sailing
'on the surface. It is a wierd and
|startling sight to come wuddenly
{upon a full rigged vessel far down
!in the solemn depths of the lakei
!standing erect on its keel, It is a
i‘sight uncanny and ghost-like.
i There is no sound there. There
iare no waves in those depths, only a
!mystox'ious swelling and swaying of |
lthe-. water. This gives a seesawing,
tossing motion to the spectral craft,
which is all the more spectral be
cause there is no creak of timber, no
sound of straining ropes or grinding
keel. The diver might climb the rig
ging, walk the deck or go down into
the sunken cabin a® readily and eas
ily as if he were a suilor and the ves
sel were sailing along.
The lake diver would much rather
find a sunken vessel a wreck, indeed
a brokem ruin, on the bottom of the
lake, not the ghost of a perfect ship.
He can work with better cheer among
splintered beams and shattered spars.
and broken keels, where he hus to
chop and pry and batter down to un
cover the objects of his quest, wheth
er it be merchandise, treasures or
corpses, than he can on a sunken
craft that gives him easy access.
There is a fascination about the
calling of a deep water lake diver
that few divers after becoming fa
miliar with the life are able to resist.
This seems the more singular becausg
no diver, shut up in an armor and
held down in the depths by 100
pounds or more of weights, can ever
banish entirely the thought that a
little stoppage of the air pump, a leak
in his hose or some slight careless
ness on the part of his tender on
the boat above is sufficient to bring
‘down upon him the weight of
a mountain and ecrush the life out
lot him as in the twinkling of an
eye, .
