Paul Trammell.
Dalton, Ga., Aug. 1.—Mayor Paul B.
Trammell will leave here tomorrow
morning for Atlanta, where he will
spend the day In consultation with po
litical friends and ndvlsers. Just what
is the object of this visit he will not
say, but It Is believed here that It has
to do with hit rumored candidacy for
the governorship and on his return his
friends hope he will have tome state
ment of a definite nature to give out.
Instead of any diminution In the en
thusiasm of his friends It Is growing
greater dally and It looks as If their
persistency Is going to force him Into
the race. When seen tlu morning.
Mayor Trammell maintained hts cue
tomary reticence, refusing to discuss
the situation.
Joseph M. Brown.-
Marietta, Ga., Aug. 1.—Ex-Governor
Brown returned home from his farm
this morning and was confronted with
an Immense lot of mall urging him to
enfer the nice. There were no new de
velopments In the matter of his con-
dldacy. He Is busy answering his mall
and seems quite contented over the sit
uation.
R. B. Russell.
Judge R. B. Russell will make anoth
er gubernatorial campaign speech on
Wednesday. He Is undecided whether
It will be at Ringgold, Catoosa county,
or Homer, Banke county. On August 11
he will speak at a big picnic near Cal
houn, Gordon county. The latter half
of this week will be given over to com
pleting opinions In cases referred to
him by the court of appeals. Judge
Russell says ha expects to make a
speech every day next week.
Pope Brown.
J. Pope Brown has three speaking
appointments thus far announced for
the month of August In hts campaign
for governor. He speaks at La von la,
Franklin county, Saturday. August 6;
at Dudley. Laurens county, Thursday,
August 10, and at Cummlng, Forsyth
county. Tuesday. August 11. He has
Invitations to apeak In Glynn, Colquitt,
Hart and other counties, but has not

John Boifeuillet.
John T. Boifeuillet, clerk of the Geor
gia house of representatives, private
secretary to United States Senator Ba
con and former M. .-on newspaper man.
Is now being quietly discussed by
frlends In and out of the legislature as
an acceptable candidate for the govern
orship. It would be hard to And a more
popular man In Georgia politics than
the clerk of the house. He has been on
the job eo long that he knows practi
cally every politician In the state.
Tom Hudson.
T. O. Hudson, commissioner of ag-
rlculture, Is still uncertain as to an
nounclng for governor. The Ault In
restlgatlon of hts department and the
fact that J. Pope Brown, from his con
greaslonal district, Is In the (lied are re
sponsible for this. The Investigating
committee under the Ault resolution
organized Monday, electing Senator
Bush as chairman and Senator Harris
secretary. That It Intends to look Into
the department's affairs for the entire
time Mr. Hudson has been commission
er Is Indicated by the fact that Mr.
Harris took the trouble Tuesday to
ascertain the exact time Mr. Hudson
went Into ofllca In 1*05.
J. M. Slaton. •
John M. Slaton, president of the state
senate. Is still awaiting ex-Oovemor
Joseph M. Brown’s decision a* to be
coming a gubernatorial candidate. Un
til Oovernor Brown speaks, Mr. Slaton
will rcmnln passive on the question. It
Is said the uncertainty of the time when
Governor Hoke Smith will resign Is
causing Oovernor Brown to withhold
hfs derision at present. In any event
Mr. Slaton will serve CO days ss gov
ernor, between Governor Smith's resig
nation and the Inauguration of his sue

have his marriage to Mrs. Mary B.
Savage, of Florida, shortly before his
death, annulled on the ground that he
was Insane and drunk at the time It
was contracted In 1909. In a court bill
filed Tuesday they charge she took ad
vantage of an old man 75 years of age;
that she la disposing of the real estate
to get the money in her pocket. They
question her character before the mar
riage, assert she Is extremely wasteful
snd extravagant, and ask for a perma

straining Mrs. M. B. Crawford, admin
istratrix of the estate of the late J. B.
Crawford, from paying out any money

ford was cited to show cause at 9:30
o'clock on August 26 why the petition

Bottom, Mass., Aug. 1.—The Atlanta
advertising men today swelled the num

the world'* greatest advertising con
vention. They launched their boom at
once for the 1913 convention. Balti
more Is also on the ground In force
seeking the same honor. The Atlantans
failed to arrive In time to thwart the
Marylander* at the Fanuel hall open
ing meeting this morning.
The Baltimoreans marched thru the
historic hall singing "Maryland, My

and the Missourians on the right joined
with them In singing "Dixie” and the

historic rafters.
It is rumored today that 8. C. Dobbs

Much Oratory Expended.
■The chief contention of the opposll

to allow- them to practice law; that
their ephere was at the homrslde and

ued Mr. Beck.
Joe Hill Hall, of Bibb, whose record
as an opponent of the bill has already
been established, mode It plain that
this bill was a product of what Is called
the New South. He said that the bill |
was degrading to womankind.
I “It shows Its commercial spirit on Itsl
(face,” he shouted. “Mrs. Hale Is a
graduate of the Atlanta Law school.
This bill Is a dodge to let down the
bars of the law schools. It Is purely
[commercial.”
Mr. Hall then handed the clerk a let-

It required eighteen typewritten
pages for the house committee on the
Western and Atlantic railroad to re
port to the house the results of Its In
spections of the state road and sub
sidiary properties and to make Its rec
ommendations as to legislative enact
ments to foster ths’ Interests of tha
state In these properties. The report
went to the house on Tuesday, being
submitted • by Representative Hooper
Alexander, chairmen. The report de
clares ths rent I* paid promptly and the
road Is kspt In first-class physical con
dition hy the lessee, the Nashville,
Chattanooga and St. Louis railway.
The property says the report. Is suf
fering from adverse or permitted en
croachments nnd possessions In several
W |Trst, cases In which It la greatly
feared the state has suffered permanent
loss, being the abandonment of the
right of way from Nlnth-et. to the Ten
nesses rlvsr In Chattanooga, now a part
of Broad-st., and the surrender In 1860
of about eleven acres of land. Including
half the Chattanooga passenger depot
site, to the leasee.
Second, usee and encroachments by
the tacit or express permission of the
state, as the use' of three miles of right
of way by the Cincinnati Southern rail
way entering Chattanooga; the use of
seven mile* of right of way south of
Dalton by the Southern railway; the
use of four miles of right of way near
Atlanta by the Southern railway; the
use of the present passenger depot In
Atlanta by other roads that do not pay
the state rental; the use of rights of
way at Marietta* Cartersvllle and
Kingston hy other roads, and several
hundred eases of leas importance In
which aubatantlal encroachments ex
ist.
Third, uses of the state road property
apparently authorised by th* leasee,
particularly trackage rights enjoyed hy
the Seaboard Air Line, Atlanta, Birm
ingham and Atlantic railroad and
Louisville nd Nashville railroad for en
tering Atlanta and tracks built on the
Powell lot In this city.
The committee points out ss an Im
perative need that some designated
comnylsslon, agent or attorney, with
ample clerical help should be author
ised to prepare and preserve authentic
records of the state’s railroad proper
ties, both In and out of the stale, In or
der that the state’s rights In the prop
erty might not he loot sight of.
Purchases Rscommsnded.
In view of (he fact that the present
lease expires In 1919, the committee
recommends that steps should be taken
to enlarge the road's terminals, both In
Atlanta and Chattanooga, particularly
the latter cltV. so that It would be Inde
pendent of other roads for terminal fa-
duties. It report* the three optioned
tracts of land offered at Chattanooga
for euburban switching yards, and rec
ommends that the governor or a com
mission named for that purpose be au
thorised to purchase one of these tracts.
The purchase of switch yards adjacent
to Atlanta Is favored, after ample yard
facilities have been provided at Chatta
nooga.
It Is recommended that the unused
city terminal properties In Chattanooga,
after outside yards are provided, be
leased for business purposes to yield
the state a revenue of 9166,606 to 1366,.
000, or perhaps more. The committee
favors the leasing of the central prop
erty In Atlanta for etthsr the proposed
civic center plssa or for commercial
purposes, retaining, of course, trackage
connections with th* Georgia and other
railroads east of the present passenger
station.
The committee believes that the ex
tension of the state road from Atlanta
to the sea I* advisable, especially as the
Panama canal will have been completed
In a few years. It Is argued that the
receipt* from the leasing of Chatta
nooga and Atlanta central properties
would produce enough revenue alone to
pay the Interest snd provide a sinking
fund for bonds to constsuct the exten
sion to the sea.
M’ELREATH’S DELAY
GIVES LITTLE HOPE
FOR CHARTER BILL
After Open Hearing He Gets
Postponement, Leaving Eight
Days of Session.
COMPROMISE PROPOSAL
WAS NOT CONSIDERED
Question Debated Before the
House Committee—Speakers
Grow Warm in Remarks.
But eight days of the present session
of the Georgia legislature will be left In
which to consider whatever chartef
changes for the city of Atlanta may be
recommended by the house commtttoa|
on municipal government when its re
port Is mode. And after the house gets
thru with It the senate must act In that
same week. All of this means that
there Is not much chance for charter
revision of any kind to get thru at till* j
session. It Is all because the Fulton
county representatives succeeded In
stalling off a report by the committed
for one week to give them "time' to
consider” the commission charter bill
before the house.
Representative Adams, of the munici
pal government committee, In executive
session Monday afternoon. Insisted that
the committee Immediately agree on a
report either to recommend or disap
prove th# commission charter bill that
Is now pending.
McElreath Is Responsiblt.
Representative McElreath, of Ful
ton, who, with Representative West
moreland, also of -Fulton, attended the
executive session of the committee, ad
dressed the committee at length, asking
that no action be taken for a week to
give the Fulton delegation time to con
sider the commission measure. Mr. Mc-
Klreoth 1* a member of the committee.
The Impreeslen was left on members of
the committee that this was also the
desire ef Representative Westmoreland
and Representative Brown, the latter
not being present.
Representative Jo* Hill Hall, of Bibb,
rhamnioned th* plea of Mr. McElreath
and strenuously objected to Mr. Adams’
plan for an Immediate report. He ar
gued that he had never voted for a bill
he had not read and he had not read
the commission charter measure.
■ In Executive Session, "r' "' 1
After S public hearing h- ld In the
hall of representatives for two hour*
Monday afternoon. In which advocate*
and opponent* of commission govern
ment debated the commission bill, tho
committee wont Into executive session
In th* speaker’s room. For half an hour
the body discussed whether or not to
agree on a report The merit* or de
merits or the Mil were not gone Into at
this executive session, the one question
being whether to make an Immediate
report or delay action, as desired by
the Fulton delegation.-
No Tim* to Pass BUI.
As the committee agreed to the re
quest of the local delegation to defer
action for a week, a report ran not now
be formulated until next Monday after
noon. If done then. The committee ts
called to meet at 4 o’clock that after
noon for this purpose. The 60 days
limit of th* legislative session ends --n
Wednesday. August 16. The committee
can not make a report to th* house be
fore Tuesday, August 8. The measure
can not be expected to reach the senate
before the last of next week, sine* It,
must be read twice In the house after
the committee reports, before a final
house vote can be taken. The short
margin of time th* house will give the
senate almost certainly will prevent th*
senate from disposing of It. since after
reaching the senate (should the house,
is It up to the upper body). It must
referred to committee and the com
mittee must report. And everybody
know* what a rush of bills always
flood both houses In the last three days
of the session.
