ERE ATLANTA GEORGIAN AND NEWS. SATURDAY, JUNE 17, 1911. ESANNUALREPQRT Trustees Are Asked to Provide Maintenance Fund For Education School. Athons, Ga„ Juno 17,—The report* of Chancellor David C. Barrow and Dean Charle* N. Shelling to the board of trustee* for the pant year are extremely gratifying. Despite the epidemic of mumps and measles from which the university has suffered during the fall, the year ha* been very *#cce**ful. The board of trustees are asked by the chancellor to provide for the upkeep of a building for the school of education. The Peabody board of trustees have offer the university 140,000 to erect a building for the school of education, on the condition that the trustees of the university will make suitable provisions for the maintenance of the building. All the various branches of the uni versity are shown to be in a flourish ing condition, altho larger appropria tions are needed for some of them. The report of Colonel Snelllng. show ing the average ages of the members of the various classes. Is extremely In teresting. The table Is as follows. Average Age. Senior law class 21.43 Junior law class 21.44 Senior pharmacy 22 Junior pharmacy 19 One-year agriculture 19.01 Senior academic 21.41 Junior academic 19.49 Sophomore academic 19.11 Freshman academic 18.19 Average for the university 19.42 During the year 83 students have withdrawn from the Institution. Va rious reasons are the cause of the withdrawals, and they are accounted for on the dean's books as follows: For failure to meet requirements, 24: poor health, 20: finances, 11; business. 10: entered Columbia university, 1; in the Interest of discipline, 6, and cause not assigned, 10. The percentage of with drawals this year Is smaller than It has been for Several years, despite the large amount of sickness. The chancellor recommends that athletics be made a regular department, under a director of physical education, and that the coaching of the teams be confined to regular officers of the uni versity. It Is also asked that the trus tees pass a rule not allowing the Geor gia teams to play against preparatory teams. HOBSON WILL SPEAK AT ST. LUKES SUNDAY RICHMOND PEAR80N H0B80N.

SHE SHOWED A MAP OF BURGLAR’S FLIGHT If Recorder Broyles needed a tre mendous amount of testimony to bind Hamp Morgan, a negro, facing three separate charges of burglary, over to the state courts Saturday morning, he got It when Mrs. K. D. Burgess, of 103 Enst Plne-st„ who lost two diamond rings thru Hamp'a alleged activities, took the stand and proved by a diagram that Hamp was Hamp. Mr*. Burgess wanted her rings, and she told the court so In no uncertain manner, expecting the while that the recorder would reach In some hidden portion of his desk and hand over the sparklers. Mrs. N. E. Morgan, of the Georgian apartments, which Hamp Is said to have also looted last Tuesday morning, testified, and several little boys who claimed to have chased the negro were placed on the stand, but It remained for Mrs. Purges*, who produced a diagram that looked like the map of a battle- lleld. to indicate Hump’s exits and his entrance* to clinch the arguments. The negro himself, who started out with a sweeping denial, got right ashamed of himself when he saw the map tracing his route, where he drop ped the purse which contained tl)e rings, and all his steps. Morgan, It is' alleged, went thru three houses In the neighborhood of the Gior dan npnriments In Ivy-st. Tuesday morning and the amount of his haul was heavy. About nine witnesses tes tified that Morgan was the negro who ran thru the streets after he had been disturbed In one of his Jab*. New York, June 17.—The mo*t bru tal murder committed by thieves In this city In a decade was revealed today when the body of Mrs. Jennie Morando, 34 years old, was found In her home at 221-2 Catherlne-st. Sho had been strangled to death and the ear rings tom from her ears. Every drawer and box that might have served as a hid ing place for money was ransacked by the murderers before they fled. Police are hunting for two men who were seen leaving the house a short time before Mrs. Morando'* body was discovered by her husband and son. The Morando* live on the second floor of the building. When Morando and his son returned for luncheon today, they found the door of their apartments locked and forced an entrance. Mrs. MOrando was not In sight and they went to the back of the house. In a bed room they found her lying In bed* with a sheet fastened securely about her neck. The room was In great disorder and It was apparent that she had fought hard for her life. The police of the Oak-st. station were Immediately notified and detect ives were rushed to the house. Altho It was evident that the woman was dead, an ambulance was summoned from the Hudson-st. hospital. Dr. Jennings, who responded, said that the woman had been dead only fifteen minutes. Strangulation, he de clared, was the cause of death. Five diamond rings had been strip ped from the murdered woman’s Angers and a large sum of money taken from the place of Its keeping. From neighbors the police got a de scrlptlon of the two men who left the flat, and a search has been started-for them. VACATION GLASSES For th^nountaln or seashore. Jno. L.

STEWART, Vice President LUCIEN HARRIS, Secretary and Treasurer Georgia Burial Corporation Home Office, 416-419 Rhodes Building, Atlanta, Georgia , MR. SECRETARY MEYER Hi* Great Busin*** Ability Allowed Fra* Swing in Navy Department. From Town and Country. The secretary of the navy I* a tome- what deceptive person. To look at him or converse with him you would never suppene that he was to the least degree a politician as we understand the term In this country. He bear* about him none of the earmark* of the profession. You could not Imagine him hobnobbing In the lobbies with any of the weird crew that pulle the wire* of national government. In appearance and man ner he Is thoroughly a man of the great world—civilised, cosmopolitan and debonair. Many people Imagined that he went Into diplomacy for the fun of the thing, *■ successful business men will, whose tastes have been cultivated beyond mere matters of trade, and who prefer thalr live year* of Europe to a cycle of Hamilton. Mass. But those who know him at closer range realise that his periods of ambassadorship at Rome and St. Petersburg were mere Interludes In a strenuous political ca- 11 reer. No man who was not enamored 1 ; of public affairs could possibly have ! given up thr sweets of diplomacy for j the dull grind of the postmaster gen- : eral's portfolio In the cabinet. That Is where Mr. Meyer deceives the ■, eye. He Is In reality a trained polltl- I clan In the very best sense of the word, i Amateur* are seldom more 'successful In Washington than elsewhere In life; ind Mr. Meyer I* no amateur. He has; cone thru all. or nearly all, the stage*. I Twenty years ago h- was a herd-1 corking alderman of Boston. A little I leter he went to the stute legislature »nd served as speaker cf the ho iso. I That sort of experience L tea. spectoe-1 ular than a Washington career, but It Is Just aa Informing. Therefore George Meyer was thoroughly equipped for public and political service when he Joined Mr. Roosevelt's cabinet. But hi* real chance came when he went to the navy under Mr. Taft. There hi* great business ability wa* allowed a freer swing than wa* possible at the postofllce, where inefficiency Is due to old-fashioned political methods which can not tightly be eradicated. At the navy Mr. Meyer haa not only shown great capacity. for handling an enor mous business, but hit courage In cut ting away wreckage has been conspic uous As politicians go In this country, he Is a young man, and looks still younger. Whatever party may be In power, he Is likely to be found or ganising some department of govern ment BOY BALLOONIST FALLS, BUT ESCAPES INJURY Boston, June 17.—Cromwell Dixon, the boy dtrfgtb!e balloonist, fell 50 feet in his Curtis type biplane at tlje Metx aviation field In Waltham today, dam aging the trfachlne badly.
