B. LEE SMITH IN RACE;
CANDIDATE FROM 4TH
Senate to Take Rest
Until Next Wed
nesday.
Borne time during the present week
Ipresldent Akin, of the senate, and
I Speaker Slaton, of the house, will make
I known their appointments on the va-
I rlous committees of these two branches
I of the general assembly, and with that
[preliminary action disposed of, the two
[houses will enter upon the real labor
| of the session.
Until the announcement of the per
sonnel of the various committees Is
made, nothing can be done In regard
to putting bills upon their passage, and
only new bills can be Introduced and
unimportant matters, which do not re
quire the attention of committees, can
be acted upon.
In the disposition of this Important
: matter Speaker Slaton, of the house,
has a decided advantage over President
Akin, of the senate, Inasmuch as he
had no opposition "In his race for the
office and knew that this duty would
devolve upon him. His wide acquaint
ance with the members of the lower
, house has aided him considerably in
the appointment of his committees, and
it la believed that the entire list will
be announced early In the week.
One Committee Named.
The announcement of one commit
tee, the committee on privilege and
elections, has already been made, on
motion of Mr. Hall, of Bibb. This ac
tion was taken In order that the matter
of tho contested election for represen
tative In McIntosh county might be re-
ferred to this committee for Immediate
action. Hon. Charles Russell, of Mus
cogee. heads thls'commlttee.
A meeting of this committee wilt
probably be held Monday to decide
when the claims of Representative
Rogers, who holds the seat, and Qeorge
Atwood, who claims It, will be heard.
In the house considerable Interest
centers around the chairmanships of
the various committees, and there Is
much speculation os to who will be
' to thei
Some
The greatest Interest centers In tho
chairman of tho temperance commit
tee. While Speaker Slaton has given
no Intimation of what he. Intends to
do In this regard. It Is generally be
lieved that Mr. Wright, of Floyd, one
of the strongest prohibitionists In the
house, will head this committee.
Representative Hall, of Bibb, will
probably head the committee on con
stitutional amendments, while Mr.
Wright, of Richmond, Is expected to be
named chairman of the general judi
ciary committee. ,
Although the house decided to bold a
meeting Monday, the senate adjourned
Saturday until Wednesday morning.
This action was taken because there
Is nothing the upper house can do un
til tho speaker of the lower houee
names his committees. During the ad.
Joumment President Akin will arrange
his appointments, and the announce
ments will probably be made tho latter
part of the week.

U. S. LEADS FIGHT
TO SAVE PROPERTY
By HAVNE DAVI8.
The Hague, July 1.—The altruistic
attitude, of the United States at the
peace conference ts very clearly Indi
cated by the faot that It Is the dele
gatee from the United States who ore
leading the fight for the Inviolability of
private property at sea.
It Is pointstf out that no country rep
resented at the conference hoe really
more to lose by the establishment of
this principle than the United States.
It Is the one among the great powers
which has within Itself the power to
produce all that Is needod for Its own
maintenance for an Indefinite period.
The enormoue value ot this ability
le fully recognised not only by the del
egates from the United States, but by
all others here. Ami the feet that In the
Interest of humanity the United States
Is willing to forego this advantage must
add largely to Its Influence In settling
the questions which are to be settled
before the peace conference adjourns.
While It Is by no means certain that
Russia and England will agree to tho
American proposition there Is reason
to believe that they may be brought
around. Dr. Kriego end Marshal Von
Blebersteln, representing 'Germany,
Count Torntofll, of Italy, and the Aus
trian delegation, are all strongly In fa
vor of the adoption of the American
propoeltlon.

drivers and barbers and non-union men
In this city. Instructions have been

An unsuccessful visit to Atlanta Sun
day of Mra. Frank Maury, a petite
actress, who came here to take her
bright little black-haired, black-eyed
baby boy of four years away from her
husband, culminated Monday morning
in a dramatic scene at 124 East Fair
street. In which the police played
part.
Mrs. Maury, whose stage name Is
"Edna Snow," and who Is now with a
summer theatrical aggregation In Ten
nessee, has been separated about
year from her husband, and both of
them are fighting for tbe little child.
Maury, who was formerly In the the.
atrical business, having been both an
actor and an advance agent, Is now
connected with the Capital City laun
dry, and resides at 124 East Fair street
with his little boy and his mother-lm
law, Mrs. E. M. Snow, who was also
formerly an actress.
Mrs. Maury obtained a leave of ab
sence from her company, and Sunday
morning arrived In Atlanta, with the
expresa purpose of assuming posses
sion of her child. Maury, the husband,
was equally as determined, however, to
keep the child, and this brought on the
clash, resulting In the police being
called In, and also resulting In a vic
tory for the father.
Both Determined.
The pretty young actress Is said to
have announced that ehe Intended to
take tbe child away with her If she had
to use force. The fond father an
nounced that he would retain posses
sion of the child If he. too, had to use
force. V
He did uee force and kept the child.
His actress-wife left Atlanta Monday
morning to rejoin her company, fol
lowing her failure to get the child.
Before time for her to leave Mrs.
Maury telephoned the police station
and Call Officers Gallaher and Ander
son responded. She wanted them to
force her husband to give her the,boy,
but this, they Informed her, they could
not do.
When the young actress started to
leave to catch her train at 8:20 o’clock
she tried to get the boy. Maury, at
tbls juncture, however, picked up the
little fellow In his arms and held him
tightly. The boy, It seems for reason,
wanted to go with hla mother, and be
gan to scream and cry. It was no
use, though. The father merely held
him the tighter. While this little per
formance was being put on In the
house. Policeman Payne patiently wait,
ed. read* to suppress any trouble.
Finding she could not get the child.
Mrs. Maury finally left the house. Just
In time to catch her train. Maury did
not release his hold on the boy until
tho mother was out ot sight.
