Atlanta.—With the convening of the
Georgia legislature in extraordinary

sentation to the general assembly.
A tentative draft of this report is
known to have been drawn up for sub
mission to the members of the com
mission for their approval. This will
be done by mail, the commission hav

Record Building Year Predicted
Atlanta.—Atlanta building figures
for the month of October, with thro*
more days to go, have exceeded the
one million dollar mark, placing the
itotal for the year at approximately
twenty-two million doUars, with as
surance that the figures for Novem
ber and December will run the grand
total to 925,000,000, according to C.
! J. Bowen, city building inspector, re
cently. While the present month's
figures fall considerably behind the
month of October, 1922, which xa»
more than two and a half million dol
lars, the city building inspector at
tributes the slump this year to the
high price of building materials and
labor, which aggregate almost fifty
per cent more this year than last. An-
pther reason advanced by Mr. Bowen
for the comparatively low figures is
the fact that not a single large permit
(or the erection of business or com
mercial property has been let. Despite
the let-up in the building activity dur
ing October th, year, Mr. Bowen ex
pressed confidence that the year's to
tal figures would reach the 925,000,009
mark, which, with 922,000,000 to date
this year, has already shattered all
previous building records in Atlanta.
,Beate Rival And Sends Hubby Te Jail
Chicago.-—Mrs. Gertrude Walsh de-
;dded to kill two birds with one stone
recently. She waited outside an ex
clusive club for Lillian Walsh, alleged
"other woman," and when Lillian ap
peared, beat her up. The cops came
and Lillian was the one who went to
the hooBegow. Then Mrs. Walsh hid
in a doorway across the street and
awaited developments. They cams
hours later in the form of her hus
band, who wanted to bail Lillian out.
Whereat, Mrs. Walsh followed right in
and talked so convincingly to the
cops that not only one, but both the
other angels of the Walsh triangle
spent the night in separate cells.

Oklahoma City, Okla.-Federal in

of the Oklahoma legislature for evi
dence regarding the management of

effort," Bishop McDowell Bald. "That
'is the test that is upon us now," i
; Brief ceremonies were held at the!
jtomb of the unknown soldier at thel
conclusion of the amphitheater sery-j
ices and numerous veterans' organiza
tions added their wreaths to th6|
{mound of tributes which grew stead
ily higher from the time the president
