DOUGLAS COUNTV SENTINEL. DOUGLASVILLE. GEORGIA AGE OF CONSENT BIO PASSED Amended Is Make The Age 14 Instead Of IS As Was Proposed In The Original Bill BILL TO LOWtSfOOD PRICES Senator Andrews Introduced An Anti- Trust Bill Against Combines In creasing Cost Of Necessities Atlanta— The senate in session passed the Benate bill to raise the age of consent, the bill being amended in committee to make the age of consent 14 years in stead of 10 years, as was proposed in the original bill. An amendment to the bill offered by Senator Field, and adopted, would authorize the grand jury to make a violation of this act a misdemeanor in the discretion of the grand jury. The senate passed the bill for the incorporation of Southwest LaGrange. Senator Andrews, who early in the session introduced a resolution provid ing for a sweeping Investigation of possible combinations which would In- c^ase the cost of the necessities of life, which resolution is now said to be reposing peacefully in a house com mittee pigeon hole, introduced an anti trust bill, which is directed at persons, firms or corporations which may enter into any sort of an agreement or com bine to increase the cost of necessa ries or to destroy necessaries with a view to limiting the supply. The administration of this proposed law would be placed under the railroad commission. In other words, at the in stance of and under the direction of the governor and with the assistance of the attorney general, the state rail road commission is authorized to make the investigations which Senator An drews undertook in his resolution to have made by a committee from the general assembly, according to Sena tor Andrews’ interpretation of his new bill. Should the railroad commission find that such a combination exists, action against such a combination would be started in the proper courts. A sim ilar bill was introduced in the house by Judge Spencer Atkinson, of Fulton. The bill of Senator Loftin to incor porate the city of Southwest LaGrange was the only other bill passed by the senate. New Water Source For Atlantans Due to the alleged critical condition of Atlanta’s water supply, steps have been taken by city council looking to wards a complete renovation of the method of supplying the city with wa ter at an approximate cost of eight million dollars. The plan calls for furnishing the city with mountain water by means of a 4S-inch concrete aqueduct, 60 miles long, with sufficient gravity pressure to create greater pressure in Atlanta than at present maintained by the waterworks’ big pumping machinery in the Hemphill avenue station. Alderman Jonas H. Ewing of the eighth ward proposed the mountain- water, gravity-pressure plan, introduc ing his resolution to have a committee named to investigate his plan with the single significant statement that "unless the proper steps are taken Borne day Atlanta is going to wake up and find out that she has no water at all, for the machinery at the pumping station, which is old and obsolete, will have broken down." Four-Fifths Of Men Physically Fit Examinations in five of the seven registration divisions of Atlanta show ed only one thing conclusively—that Is, that about four-fifths of the men eummoned for army service are phy- Bically fit. But the indications in regard to claims to exemption are conflicting. Two local board chairmen—L. Press Huddleston, of division No. 2 (Second ward) and Aldine Chambers, of divi- Bion No. 3 (Third ward)—believe that perhaps four out of five, possbly six out of seven, of the men examined will be discharged, chiefly because they are married and have dependent wives and children. This would mean that 6,000 tq, 10,000 men will have to be examined to get Atlanta’s quota of 882 for the national army. it Bullet Flattens Against Skull Of Child Struck by a stray rifle bullet, nine- year-old Harriet O wings* of 2i5 Her bert street, lies at the Grady hospital, paved from death by a seeming mira- ple, physicians In attendance 'Say.
