LEGISLATURE'S Fill SUTTON IS
On account of the extraneous matters which have consumed the time
of the present sesston of the general assembly of Georgia and which have
prevented the enactment of any serious or solid legislation during the past
fifty days, the bill to provide for compulsory education In this state has
been virtually shelved for another twelve months.
The failure to enact this measure Into law at the present session of
the legislature Is deeply to be deplored.'
For If there is any measure pending before the legislature upon
which the people of Georgia have spoken In accents which cannot possi
bly be misconstrued. It Is this measure which seeks to erase the Illiterate
stigma from Georgia’s escutcheon. .
They have spoken thru the columns of nearly every newspaper In the
state—they have spoken thru resolutions which have been adopted by
both teachers and farmers In convention assembled—they have spoken
thru the petition wych was presented to the legislature containing the
signatures of over 5,000 representative men and women of Georgia—and
they have spoken from the pulpit of every religious sect and denomina
tion.
Yet the bill which of all others upon the docket Is the one most vital
to the true welfare of Georgia cannot possibly be considered at the pres
ent legislature—because It ends tonight.
And 20,000 Illiterate white children In Georgia who are pleading for
the simplest rudiments of an education are told to go back to the fac
tories and to the fields.
The saddest part of It all Is that before another year elapses some
of the children who might this year have been rescued from the blight
of Ignorance under the operations of the bill will have pC3sed the limit
beyond which it will be Impossible to reach them hereafter and they will
be doomed for life to grovel In the low paths—helpless and hopeless 11-
literates. ■
All honor to the gentle and noble Georgia woman—Mrs. Emma Garrett
Boyd—whose efforts to further the success of the bill havo been so con
stant—so untiring—so unselfish.
She deserves the unstinted homage of every friend of compulsory edu
cation In Georgia for what she has done to promote this great cause.
Not one thought has she given to herself. It Is for Georgia's Illiterate
children that she has labored—for Georgia's welfare and progress. In every
way possible she has modestly sought to keep her own personality In the
background. But honor to whom honor Is due!
For months past popular sentiment In Georgia has been crystallizing
Into urgent and Imperative appeals for compulsory education.
The convictions which the people of the state entertain upon this
paramount question are neither shallow nor superficial. They arq deep-
rooted. They are widespread. It Is sheer blindness alone which fails to
discern the fact that Georgia lb terribly In earnest In regard to the mat
ter of educating her Illiterate white children—that she Is alive and alert
to this vital Issue from the mountains to the wlregrass—that she means
to see to It that justice Is done.
Mark the prediction, gentlemen, the cry for compulsory education
Is strong today, but tomorrow It will be still stronger. It !b deepening
every hour. Most of you are doubtless already In favor of the bill. If
not, you need only to touch elbows with the masses.
And whether you be wise statesmen anxious to promote the welfare
of Georgia or only shrewd politicians eager to advance the interests of
self, you will be constrained to give this measure the right of way when
you next meet and to enact It Into law without further delay.
DROWNED AT BRANCH
TUESDAY AFTERNOON
Debate Centered on
Coca-Cola and the
Coca-Cola Co.
By a vote of 26 to 12 the senate
Tuesday afternoon adopted the Burwell
substitute to the general tax act, fixing
a graduated tax ranging from |6 to
12.000 on manufacturers of soda water
syrups.
The tax Is arranged on the basis of
amount of yearly business done by the
manufacturers—25 upon th-lise who do
a business of 21,000 a year and gradu
ated up to n maximum impost of 22,000
on a business of 2900.000.
The debate was mainly on the Issue
of taxing the Coca-Cola Company.
lu the course of It- Senator Ruther
ford, of the Twenty-second, declared he
fould rather a child of hie drink beer
than coca-cola. .
It was brought out during the debate
that the Coca-Cola Company will pay
the heaviest tax under this amendment,.
Jt was estimated by one speaker that
that company would pay 21.800, or very
hear the maximum provided.
The house voted a tax of five cents on
sach gallon. Senator Rutherford offered
*i amendment to place a tax ot one per
«nt on gross receipts. These two were
Promptly voted down and the Burwell
substitute passed.

Pittsburg, Aug. 11.—Two hundred
and twenty-five thousand men are at
work In Pittsburg and the old-time
pay rolla of 21,000.000 a day are again
the rule. A year ago not half of this
number were employed. Local mllla
and factories ore again running at high
pressure and the outlook is very bright
for another boom.
In addition to the 25,000,000 car order
placed last week by the Pennsylvania

Annapolis, Aug. 11.—Dr. Gilbert
Coleman, an Instructor at the Annapolis
naval academy, aided the cause of the
Suttons at the Inquiry today. He gave
testimony denying the charges of the
defendant lieutenants that Lieutenant
Sutton had been quarrelsome on the
evening he was shot to death.
Dr. Coleman was at Carvel Hall the
night of the tragedy with Sutton and
Mias Mary Stewart, of Pittsburg.
Sergeant Todd* Attend!.
The Sutton Inquiry will be rushed to
a conclusion today.
Sergeant Archibald Todd, the lat
t sensational witness to appear,
was on hand when court opened,
was reticent when asked about an In
tervlew published first In Boston,
that Interview Todd was purported to
have said that he was In eyewitness to
the Sutton tragedy and to have seen the
young lieutenant shot down as he was
running across the parafip grounds.
"I don't know anything about It,'* he
said.
After the minutes of yesterday's ses
ston had been read. Judge Advocate
Leonard ottered to summon Private
Higgins from Honolulu, or any other
warm climate.
Kennedy had testified that he relieved
Higgins about the time the fight be
tween the officers began, but the Sutton
attorneys indicated that they would not
trouble the government to summon
Higgins.
Rather grewsome was the testimony
of James Wldefcld and H. R. Taylor,
undertakers. They testified as to the
condition of the body, but nothing Im
portant was brought out.
Mrs. Sutton and Mrs. Parker both
shuddered and hung their heads while
these and similar details followed con
cerning the autopsy and subsequent
embalming. Several witnesses were
then called to verify the ctenographic
record of former testimony. Durlnr
this period It developed that the recort:
of the present Sutton Inquiry haa now
reached more than 1,300 typewritten
neves, as compared with a record of
38 pages for t^e former inquest, which
resulted In a verdict that Sutton com
mitted suicide, ' ,
It is believed that the Sutton at
torneys will lay stress on this point
In substantiation of their charge of
a most incomplete first Inquiry, and
will urge, on account of this and other
reasons, a reversal of the verdict.
Sutton Waa Amiable.
Sutton was never In more amiable
mood than during the evenjng ho spent
with Miss Stewart at Carvell Hall, before
Sutton began his last automobile ride,
was the first fact testified to by Dr.
Coleman. He left Sutton at 12 o’clock,
Coleman said, and the three planned to
dine together the next day. Sutton
had read a portion of a letter he had
just received from his mother and spoke
lp endearing terms of her, the witness
said. He declared that Sutton was per
fectly sober and exhibited the name
good nature that caused him to like the
young lieutenant.
A letter that he had written Mrs.
Sutton containing virtually the same
statements was next put Into evldenco
and read by Dr. Coleman.
Lieutenant Sumner was called next.
Called Off Challenge.
"Sutton, I am a damn fool. Call the
gun business off. (Signed) Sumner."
These are the words Lieutenant
Sumner was asked to read and explain
as soon as a few preliminary questions
had been asked. They were written on
a smalt visiting card found In Sutton’s
effects.
Sumner, as everybody craned for
ward, gave a unique explanation of the
duel challenge and Its call-off. In brief,
he declared Sutton had challenged him
about a year before his death while the
two were drinking In the Hotel Mon
trose at Washington,
Neither at that time cared to apolo
gize first and they evolved the plan of
writing an apology at the same mo
ment. Unfortunately, he said, he lost
Sutton's apology and Sutton must have
kept his.
Whisky, he explained, caused tho un
usual proceeding, and almost everyone
smiled.
Lieutenant Sutton met his death In
1906 In a fight with other marine offi
cers. The verdict of the court of
Inquiry was suicide. The present In
vestigation Is the result of the labors of
Sutton's mother and sister, who are
trying to clear his name of the suicide
stigma.

Famine Ravages Russia.
Odessa, Aug. 11.—Southern Russian
and Roumanian provinces are threat-.
ened with a famine thru the ruin of the
maize crops by a prolonged drouth. The
weather haa been unusually hot and
half the crops are blighted and the re
mainder greatly damaged.
A scathing arraignment by the com
mission appointed to report on condi
tions at the state sanitarium at Mil*
ledgevllte, accompanied by a sweeping
denial by Its trustees of the charges
made by the commission, was sent by
Governor Brown to both houses of the
general aaaembly Tuesday afternoon.
The commission wus appointed by
former Governor Smith to Investigate
charges against tho management of the
state sanitarium made by R. E. Dun-
nlngton, a former Inmate. The report
contains sensational features relative
to these and other charges, ranging
from an appnlllng death rate from
consumption to cruel treatment of In
mates and the assault of women pa
tients by attendants.
Specific Instances of cruelty charged
by the commission Include that of
William Llnggnld, said to have been
tripped up and hlB leg broken by an
attendant named Dennis, who was dis
charged; tho Injury of George T. Law-
son, of Augusta, who was forced to
carry a bundle of clothing that was
beyond his strength, nnd tho case of
W. B. Browh, of'Savannah, who, It la
charged, was severely Injured by being
struck in the head by an attendant
named Cook.
Other Instances.
Among charges found to be baseless
were those concerning Mr. Glenn, of
Atlanta, who was said to have had his
leg broken, and the Atlanta negro
whose skull was alleged to have been
fractured, resulting In death.
The commission reports at some
length concerning charges that certain
attendants at the asylum had assisted
women patients to escape, afterward
using them for Immoral purposes. On
one specific charge the commission
finds:
On the 15th of August last, one of
the yard watchmen and a helper cut
the wires from the window of one of
the rooms In the recreation hall and
assisted two female patients In escap
ing from the Green building. They
carried these women to the basement
of the male convalescent building,
where they kept them until Sunday
ttt-i 1 T-v ml > TV irmr night. The women were located In
HEAD OF AD MEN Milledgeville, where they had gone to
take the train. Som* of their gar
ments were found In the basement, nnd
> t tic they were separated from oach
other, the women told practically the
: same stor* giving the names of the
; parties. _ , ,
Indicted and Tried.
"These men were first Indicted and
t tried In the superior court, being prose
cuted by the solicitor general. There
was a mistrial. It was at the request
. of Dr. Jones, the superintendent, that
: these cases were not transferred to the
' county court In the first Instance. They
were tried a second time and dis
missed, In spite of every effort made
, by Dr. Jones, who believed them guilty
and desired to convict them.”
Charges of a criminal assault on a
■voman patient were found by the eom-
■ mission to be baseless.
It was charged by the commission
that more than one-seventh of the total
number of patients at the sanitarium
have died of tuberculosis In the last
five years, "nearly all of whom were
Mrs. Frances White, the "woman In
the case” In the Whlte-Anderson shoot
ing scrape, had officials and her ad
visers puzzled for eeveral hours Tues
day when she deliberately spurned
bond that was offered her and refused
to leave the Tower.
She was begged and pleaded with
and every manner of argument was
used to change her mind and Induce
her to leave the Jail.. For a time she
was persistent in her refusal to budge,
but finally yielded to the persuasion
and consented to accept bond. The
bond of 2100, assessed by Justice Rid
ley during the morning, was then
signed by a well-known Atlanta busi
ness man, who Is acquainted with
White, but who, It is said, does not
know Mrs. White.
Spent Night There.
Even after the bond was made the
young woman did not leave the prison
Immediately, but spent the night there.
Stylishly attired, she walked out of
the Jail about 8 o'clock Wednesday
morning, entered a closed carriage
which had been ordered for her, and
drove rapidly away.
Mrs. White went direct to the Am-'
gon hotel, where she packed her trunk.
She then lost no time In leaving the
hotel, but where she went Is not
known. It Is understood, however, that
she will leave Atlanta during the day
for Nashville, the home of her mother.
Objected to Bond.
Mrs. White objected to freedom on
bond on the ground that she had done
nothing to cause her to be placed In
jail, and, therefore, she ought not to
be compelled to give bond. She In
sisted that she be turned out by the
detectives without any bond and that
no charge be held against her. As It
Is, she Is still charged with assault
with Intent to murder, the same as her
husband.
As she fought against leaving the
Tower, she exclaimed:
I was put In here without any cause
and now let them turn me out without
any bond. I don't see why I should
have to give bond. I didn’t put myself
In here nnd I'm not going to take my
self out."
The bond, It Is said, was signed by
MR8. FRANCES WHITE.

sympathy for the woman and was a
voluntary act. Should Mrs. White fall
to come back to Atlanta for trial, tnen
the business man’s sympathy wilt be
worth 2100 to the state,

bond of 21.600. will remain In Atlanta.
He returned to hts work Monday after
noon with the Dayton Scale Company.

Taft, Alarmed at Weight,
Hires an Expert Masseur
Beverly, Mass., Aug. 11.—Before he Ing Dr.^Valker applied himself to the
started for the golf links today Presi
dent Taft submitted to the ministra
tions of a vigorous masseur, who has
contracted to bring down the presiden
tial weight. Dr. Walker Is the masseur
and he halls from Boston with a long
string of victorious achievements
against adtposo tissue to his credit.
President Taft Is alarmed at the on
ward march of his avoirdupois and la
taking desperato measures to check It.
Dr. Walker made his first call today,
visiting the summer white house before
breakfast. This he will do every day.
Taft's weight Is now up to 226 pounds
and he became alarmed at the prospect.
For more than half an hour this morn-
presldentlal bulk and he hopes to re
duce Mr. Taft to 300 before a week haa
elapsed. The masseur worked with
feverish enemy, kneading the chest of
tho massive executive, then abdomen
and then finally the huge muscles of tho
arm. attacking every fold of fat and
sinew.
. After Dr. Walker had finished with
the massage treatment President Taft
In negligee sought the lawn of the
Evans cottage and went thru some
gymnastics prescribed In the anti-fat
treatment. Dr. Walker looked on and
as tho perspiration trickled down the
Taftlan brow he nodded vigorous ap
proval and shouted, "Bully, fine."
Then the president went to breakfast.

It was reported that there had been 26
deaths from consumption from January
to June 1. of the present year.
Trustees’ Statement.
Positive dental Is made by the trus
tees of the sanitarium that nearly all
deaths from tuberculosis result from
Infection after arriving at the institu
tion. They also assert that the death
ratio from this disease Ib erroneously
reported. It being less than one-thir
teenth Instead of one-seventh. The
trustees state that 539 out of 7,320 pa
tients have died of consumption.
Concerning alleged brutal treatment
of patients, the trustees state that ap
parent abuees are sometimes unavoid
able In restraining patients who are
violently insane, but that attendants
who were needlessly rough or brutal
In their treatment of Inmates would
not be tolerated by the management.
As to the class end number of at
tendants employed at the sanitarium,
the trustees call attention to their fre
quent appeals for funds from the state
with which to Improve the equipment
and service at the Institution, main
taining they are doing all In their pow
er to conduct the Institution properly on
the appropriations allotted by the state.
The trustees characterize the charges
as vague and misleading, and state that
the only facts that can be sustained are
embodied in their own complaints con
cerning Insufficient appropriations.
