Superintendent Bapp says that only recently the care of these valves was placed In charge of the water works department. Until then, he says, they were under the supervision of the city engineer’s department. Had Been Reported. Chief Jentzen'8 men found the leaky valves before and reported them to the engineering department. Afterwards they gave a list to Mr. Jentzen and lie gave the Ust to General Manager Turk Woodward. Then cams the rush order for 200 new valves which cost the taxpayers Atlanta about 12.25 each, or 1460. The leaky valves are good for the Junk Pile. Until these disastrous leaks were found by Georgian reporters, nothing was said about them. Superintendent Rapp declined to discuss the probable amount of waste. He referred a re porter to General Manager Park Wood ward. Colonel Woodward admitted that there was a large number of flush tank valves leaking and ho admitted, too, that The Georgian's estimate of 2,800,- « gallons of water a day for 160 leaky valves was a fair estimate. Colonel Woodward said further that this was about the amount of water that the Increased pressure on the pumps would supply. Hut he added that these valves were "tily turned over to his department by ordinance of council a month ago. Previous to that time they were under tho supervision of the city engineer's department, nnd Colonel Woodward said the city engineer had no facilities for repairing them. Reason For Not Stopping. The reason for not stopping this dis astrous waste a month ago when the matter was turned over to him, Colonel Woodward gave as the Impossibility or securing enough valves In town to take the place of tho leaky ones. But he scld he had Anally secured 200, and that more would be received so that the entire 290 valves about the city would be replaced by a new brand. 1 °ionel Woodward declares he had nothing to do with this matter until the valves were turned over to him a month ago, and that he has been want ing this very thing done for years. Now it Is up to the council Investi gating committee to And out about this leaky brand of valves. Also to ascer tain why they were allowed to be leaking for a long time. And why there was no publicity until newspaper reporters got busy and found the leaks. Colonel Woodward's Statement. "I have boon after council for the past two or three years,” ssld Colonel Woodward, “to have these flush tank valves placed under the supervision of the water department, but without any •m cess until about a month ago. Then an ordinance to that effect was passed. " as only about two weeks ago, how- a'er. that all these leaks came to my attention and I proceeded Immediately ‘1 nave them remedied. There were not enough valves In town, so I ordered supply by telegraph. I can promise ; 'ore will be no leaks like this In the tuture. after I get theaa old valves re placed. ..,’ Ve a.'’ continued Colonel Woodward, the loss from the leaking of these valves was about the same as the •mount of water we gained by Increos- r. , he pressure on the pumps.” ip. onel Woodward said that although valves were under the city engl- e . ^apartment, that official had liii. . ,he appropriation nor tho facll- ‘ *°r keeping them In good comlf- nnd that it was something the t i.' vor k» department should do. For "Pit reason he said he hod been trying lw ? or three years to have them his charge. FILIBUSTERING DELAYS BIG BILL Continued from Pago One. had no other matter to take up and It would facilitate business to go Into It now. Hardman Insistent. Senator Hardman said that they de sired to be fair to the opponents of the bill, but that he would Insist on his mo. tion to begin consideration Friday. "Those opposing this only ask that It be taken up In regular order,” declared Senator Felder. "I do not depend on the newspapers for Information as to what the senate Is doing, but I think many of you do. If you can not Helen to reason you have no business occu pying a seat here." The motion of Senator Hardman to take up the bill Friday was voted on, and the vote stood 26 to 12—tho two- thirds necessary. Senator Felder Insisted that no mo tion to suspend the rules had been made; that the bill was actually not before the senate and that the vote was null. President Akin ruled that If the point of order had been mado In time he would have sustained It, but that the point had not been made. Immediately Senator Felder served rotlce of appeal from the chair’s ruling and began a long argument to sustain hts contention. Time and time again during his speech points of order were made against Senator Felder In an effort to shut him off, but the president ruled against all of them. On one point President Akin’stated that he entertained doubts as to the correctness of entertaining the appeal of the senator from the Twenty-second, but that he left that matter to tho senate to determine. Two or three times the chair warned Senator Felder sharply to confine him self strictly to a discussion of the sub ject matter of his appeal as to whether or not 25 was two-thirds of 12. Shut Him Off. At 12:60 o’clock President Akin arose and said: "As much as I dislike to shut off the senator from the Twenty-second, I am very much Inclined to think It Is my duty to do so on the grounds of Irrelevant debate. If the senator can not confine himself directly with the question, 1 shall have to remove him from the floor.” "As I am appealing _ from the de cision of the chair.” “ " .. said Senator Feld. I do not believe the chair would seek to put the words In my mouth that I should say." "If the senator will suspend long enough to allow us to pass this bill, we’ll let him talk the rest of the week.” said Senator Taylor. At 12:65 o'clock President Akin ruled Senator Felder out of order, and re quested that he take his seat. Senator Peacock Immediately moved for adjournment. Senator Felder moved as a substitute that the senate ad journ until U o'clock Monday morning, and thus gaining the floor again began an impassioned argument for his mo tion. . . Senator Overstreet rose to a point of order at 1:20 o'clock, calling attention to rule No. 1, which leaves It to the discretion of the presiding officer to suspend Irrelevant debate. "The senate Is at the mercy of the speaker and of the president. This de bate Is nothing more than a filibuster, s useless and foolish discussion against time and for no other purpose," he de- Cl "For one. I am tired of ths remarks from the senator from the Twenty- second. I have had enough of It. It Is the president's duty to end this Irrele vant debate and protect us. I submit that ths senate has been patient, and It Is-, time for the president to end this ,ar jt Is the Inalienable right of any lies within the discretion of the chair to determine when the debate becomes Irrelevant." said President Akin. "I warn the senator that he Is verging dangerously on that point. I have been patient. Let the senator address him’ self to the subject." At 1:45 o’clock President Akin shut off Senator Felder’s debate and the sen ate adjourned until 10 o'clock Saturday morning. Senator J. J. Mattox believes In safe guarding the public welfare by making telegraph operators and train dispatch, ers for common carriers sober men. For Sober Operators. Friday he introduced a bill which makes It a misdemeanor for any tele graph operator or train dispatcher on any common carrior to be under the Influence of stimulants while on duty. Senator Mattox also Introduced a bill affecting convict guards and wardens. It provides that all such must be at least 30 lyears of age and of good moral character. It also requires tho appli cant to supply .a certificate os to char acter nnd a sworn statement as to age. resolution by Senator Henderson, of the Thirty-ninth, Indorsed the action of Congressman T. W. Heflin, of Ala bamo. In his measure to secure from the national government a refunding of the 380,000,000 cotton tax levied during the war. The following new bills were Intro duced: New 8enate Bills. Senator Felts—'To establish public schools In Warrcnton. By Senator Farmer—To establish public schools In Thomson. By Senator Mattox—An act to make unlawful for any railroad telegraph op erator or train dispatcher to drink or be under the Influence of'Intoxicants. By Senator Mattox—To prescribe the qualifications of convict guards and wardens. By Senator Williford—To amend code chnnglng the qualifications of county school commissioners. The senate then began a discussion of the Hardman prohibition bill. MOTHER OF GRADY RESENTS MISREPRESENTA TION OF HIM; CAUSES A DRAMATIC SCENE CASTOR IA For Infants and Children The Kind You Have Always Boughs The train was crowded and Insufferably hot. Little whiffs of smoke blew In at the windows with each puff of the engine, and cinders were fought, like so many flies, with pocket handkerchiefs and palmetto fans. Children toddled unsteadily to the water tank and back, and at each stop between Athens and Atlanta there, was a general outpouring upon the plat forms of passengers who hoped vainly to catch a passing breeze. It was shortly after the train had left Elbprton that the discussion arose. Even on the hottest days Just now, discussions on prohibition are Inevitable, you know. They are heard on street corners, In lobbies, street cars and passenger trains. Well, this particular discussion was led by a young fellow who talked down prohibition with all the ardor of youth, and a rapid loquacity that would have defeated, provided he gave men an op portunity to vote on It, any Issue he might champion. "Talk about Henry Grady," ho said, and paused for the first time. In- r.tnntly a little ripple of Interest pass ed through tho listening group. For, to sotpo of them, the mention of the name brought back a powerful scene —the man standing there before the silent thousands, his arm upraised as If Invoking those golden lengths ot beautiful phrase; the sudden forward surge of the vast throng, as If a cord had snapped trom the tension. Then the cheering, wild, exultant, and, heard here and there, a sob from some old man who paid hla tribute thus because he was Impotent to cheer. To all It was a magic no/no. The young man noted hopefully that they were Interested. "Talk about Henry Grady," he said again. “Why, Henry Grady loved liquor as much as any of ’em that ever fought your prohibition. And those speeches of hts for prohibition? Weil, maybe he spoke 'em best when he wes stimulated!” From some quarter there was a half-hearted laugh which died suddenly. Just there, a few seats up the aisle, something was happening. It was as If an electric current passed through the car. An aged woman had risen to her feet with an Impulsive gesture of protest. She could not reach the young man who was orator of the day. for tjie train wos rocking dlszlly. So she touched the shoulder of the man whu sat In front of her—It happened to he the senntor from Elberton. "Wilt yen please soy for me"—the wonts came quite bravely nnd dis tinctly—"will yru please say that Homy Grady never utttred a sentence for tho cause of prohibition with the taste of whisky on hts lips? Will you please tell them that he used to say to me, ‘Total abstinence is the thing for me, mother,' and that he knew ft was best for us all?" The senator from Elberton cnuglit both her hands. “Thank Uod for that I” he cried. "I loved that boy as tf he were my own." The young man made his apology manfully enough. Of course, he didn't know; he had Just “heard others say." But next time he will be sure. The mother of Henry Grady, speaking with a grace that comes with the baptism of sorrow, will tell you that hts work nerc was finished, elio he would not have been called away.

Savannah, Ga., July 12.—Savannah wholesule'druggists are today protest ing to the representatives nnd senntor from this county and other members of the house and senate against the pro hibition bill as It affects the wholesale druggists. They say that If the bill becomes a law In Its present form. It will ruin the business of the wholesale tlrugg 1st* In the state. This will be from the fact that they are prohibited from selling alcohol to the retailers for the purpose of making up medicines.

The ‘local representative* are asking to have the bill amended, bo that the wholesalers can supply tho retailers with alcohol.
