Biennial Sessions
Measure Is Laid
on the Shelf.
One of the moit Important mettere
of legislation now pending In the legis
lature, the biennial session bill, will not
be acted upon by t!ie house at this ses
sion,
. Representative Butt, of Fannin, the
author of the house bill, made a state
ment Wednesday morning explaining
why the friends of the measure have
decided not to press the measure at this
Mr. Butt said:
•The friends of the legislation pro
viding for biennial.seealons of the leg
islature have decided not to Insist on a
vote on this matter at the present ses
sion of the legislature. In view of the
fact that this Is one of the most Im
portant pieces of legislation now pend
ing, I deem It just that the people
should know why It was carried over
until next session. It Is a constitu
tional amendment and can not be voted
on by the people until the general
; election next October, and as the cal
endar stands It will be one'of the first
bills to be put on Its passage when
the legislature convenes next June.
, There are many senate bills that ought
to be passed today and tomorrow, and
' we felt as a matter of simple justice to
1 these important measures that ought to
be acted on at this session that this
constitutional amendment should be
passed to the next session and put
. these bills on their passage. A can
vass of the house has been made, and
there Is absolutely no doubt but that
the bill will receive the requisite two-
thirds vote when it Is placed on Its
passage. The people of Georgia are
demanding this legislation, and there
can be no question. In my opinion, but
that the legislature will give the peo
ple an opportunity to say whether or
not the general assembly shall meet
annually or biennially. The sentiment
for this legislation Is stronger today
thnn it has ever been before. We feel
that by deferring action on this bill
until the next session we will |i
no way endanger Its chances of sue
cessful passage, but that It will be
stronger, for the sentiment favorable
to the Mil Is becoming more thor
oughly crystallised every day. We ask
the friends of the pronoaed biennial
legislation throughout the state to see
thrlr representatives and ask them to
give the people a chance to vote on
tills legislation. The bill has already
passed the senate.”

After a remarkable light with df«-
eaae. lusting thru a full year, of recur
rent attacks William P. Hill, aged 4T
years, city attorney of Atlanta, suc
cumbed at 5 o'clock Wednesday morn
ing to an attack of apoplexy that struck
him down at his home Tuesday even
ing.
The nret serious Illness In the series
that finally resulted In the death of the
popular Atlanta lawyer came last sum
mer In the form of a severe fever. Re
covering from this Illness, Mr. Hill
made the race for city attorney In the
fall, being elected by an overwhelming
majority. He entered upon his official
Jai
duties January 1, and In February was
desperately 111 with pneumonia.
Recovering from this attack by sheer
force of a powerful constitution. Mr.
Hill was soon back at his work. The
latter part of May, however, the city
attorney was stricken with apoplexy,
and another determined fight with
death brought about what was thought
to be a convalescent stage. In fact, Mr.
Hill was planning to leave Atlanta In
the next few davs to visit some resort
where he might fully regain his health
and strength, when a second apoplectic
stroke proved fatal to hla weakened
vitality.
Mr. Hill had been a cltlsen of Atlanta
since 1885. A long and honorable ca
reer at the bar resulted In his appoint
ment as assistant city attorney under
James I,. M&yaon In 1901, In which
rapacity he served the city ably until
his election os city attorney In 1908.
Mr. Hill le survived by Ills wile, one
slater. Mrs. Todd Reed, of LaOrange,
and two cousins, Charles D. Hill and
Hen H. Hill, of Atlanta. He was a
prominent Mason, a Shrlner,. an Odd
Fellow and belonged to a number of
other ordera.

SERIOUSCHARGES AGAINST
REVENUE CUTTER SERVICE
Washington, Aug. 11.—Much com
ment has again been aroused here over
the failure of the treasury officials to
make any effort to Investigate the
charges against the revenue . cutter
service, filed nearly four months ago
by former Lieutenant J. A. Burns, who
left the service about a year ago. giv
ing as his chief reason the failure of
revenue cutters to attepipt to rescue
the passengers and crew of the steamer
Valencia, lost off the rockbound coast
of Vancouver In 1905, with a heavy loss
of life.
The charges made by Lieutenant
Burns comprised the most severe ar
raignment of the revenue cutter serv
ice probably ever made. They were
regularly filed with Secretary Mac-
Veagh April 13 laat. The secretary
soon afterward said the charges would
be thoroughly Investigated. They were
turned over to Assistant Secretary of
the Treasury Hills, who announced that
an Investigation would soon be made.
The charges, however, were filed
away. No effort has since been made
toward an Investigation of them. Lieu
tenant Burns said today that, notwith
standing the charges have been practi
cally Ignored, he does not Intend to let
the matter drop, and at the next ses
sion of congress will send a copy of
the charges to each senator and rep
resentative, as well as bringing the
case to the personal attention of Pres
ident Taft.
Lieutenant Burns charges that ,the
revenue cutter service Is Irretrievably
disgraced by Its failure to respond to
the urgent call to aave the passengers
and crew of the steamer Valencia;
that In 1902 the service obtained the
passage of a bill for the purpose of
promoting the efficiency of the service,
and alleges that 350.000 waa raised by
Individual assessments of 3250 each on
the officers to obtain the desired ap
propriation; that a captain of a cutter
at the time of the San Francisco earth
quake refused to aid the sufferers and
sailed away from the scene of the ca
tastrophe because of an alleged snub
by. the naval officers In the harbor;
that the revenue cutter service exists
without reason In that the Insignificant
duties It performs do tfot warrant the
large appropriations necessary for Us
support; that the cutters spend the
larger port of their cruising time Idling
about harbors, performing no duty of
any value whatever, and finally that
the service sends cutters each year to
Alaska to protect the sealing Industry
of the American Commercial Company,
a private corporation, and that the
expense of furnishing these cutters Is
not commensurate with the small reve
nue the government receives from the
company.

as his partner against General Adalbert
Ames, father of Representative Butler
Ames, and J. D. Boardman, of Wash

President Taft arose ot his usual
hour, hurried thru his Instructions to
his secretary, jumped Into an automo
bile and hurried to the Essex Country
club. Since Messrs. Boardman and
Ames defeated Mr. Taft and his part
ner so easily Monday a friendly rivalry
haa sprung up. The president arranged
to take up some official business this

Insist on Dailies
Now comes a strong protest from At
lantans who do not want he firemen’s
drum and bugle corps to disband, as
announced Tuesday.
They want the drum corps. They
don’t want It to quit. They talk about
it on the street corners. They praise
the spectacular organlxatlon. they laud
Its martial music.
They tell anecdotes of Its conquests
In other cities.
Chief among these Is the tale of how
the drum corps, with "Cap" Joyner at
Its head, split the "Pike" wide open at
St. Louis In 1904, In the face of strict
orders that no muslcnl organizations
should parade along Ita bizarre and or
nate length.
According to the best authorities. It
happened In this wise:
"Cap” Joyner and Drum Major John
ny Peel, with the drum corps, landed
at the St. Louis.exposition a day ahead
of Governor Terrell, of Georgln, and
his staff. "Cap," then fire chief, thought
he would put hi the time by calling
with his band on the Hale Fire Fight
ing headquarters, which, he had ascer
tained, was "at the other end of the
Pike."
Chief Joyner decided the most direct
route was straight down the Pike. He
marshaled hla cohorts, placed himself
at the head and told Johnny Peel to
"open up."
Johnny “opened up." So did the at
tractions fringing that end of the Pike.
So did the eyes of the spielers and the
mouths of the huge crowd that lined
the famous amusement thoroughfare.
They all roared, “What's the matter
with Atlanta? SHE'S all j-lght!” Then
they fell In line behind the red and blue
ellk banners that Identified the drum
corps ana Its native city.
•'Brrrrump! Urn-rump! Brrrump-
bump!” roared the drums. The lilt
ing,. dancing strains rolled from end to
end of the pike, shaking the pikers
from their various retreats. In two
minutes there were two thousand fol
lowing the drum corps. In five min
ute# the fire laddies had a following
of five thousand and the universe was
rocking alternately with thunderous
music and the hair-raising refrain;
"What’a the matter with ATLANTA?
SHFS all right!”
A sergeant of the exposition guards
stepped up to Cap Joyner, his fnce
crimson with fury.
He said: “Hold on! You can't go
thru here!"
Cap said: "Can't we? Just watch
i."
"It's against the rules," shouted the
guard.,
"I've got a permit,” replied Cap.
"Who from?" persisted the ser
geant.
"From Governor Joe Terrell,
Georgia, by gum. and It’s good enough.
Back up!” answered the fire chief.
The sergeant looked at Cap. Then
he looked at the drum corps. Then he
looked at the crowd. Then he "backed
up.”
Before night all St. Louis was ring
Ing with the star)- of the Atlanta drum
corps that had split the pike wide open
and painted the trail red. To this day
out In Missouri they talk of the
Cracker drum corps that "showed
them”—the only band that paraded
the pike during the entire fair.
The following resolutions have been
adopted by Stonewall Jackson camp,
1581. United Confederate Veterans:
“Atlanta, Oa., Aug. 10, 1909.
Whereas, we learn with regret that
Ihe fireman's fife and drum corps of
Atlanta has disbanded:
Resolved. That we. the Stonewall
Jack son camp, 1531, V. C. V., In camp
assembled, do earnestly protest against
this noble band being disbanded.
"Resolved, second. That we do earn
estly request Chief Cummings and the
members of the drum corps not to dis
band. but to keep up the fight and the
old vets will eland by t{iem to the fin
ish.
"Resolved, third. That a copy of
these resolutions be published In the
three dally papers and a copy be sent to
Chief Cummings and the drum corps."
