FIGHTRECALL
Committee of Southern General
Assembly Opposes Applica
tion to Officers.
BRISTOL. TENN. May IS.—A spe
cial committee of the Southern Pres
byterian general assembly. now in ses
sion here, today, reported strongly
against the overtures of presbyteries
for the ‘■recall" to be applied to church
officers. Dr. John F. Cannon, chairman
of the committee, made the report con
demning the proposed "ecclesiastical
recall” in strong terms. 1 The commit
tee declared it to be against every
scriptural teaching and the tenets of
the church.
e find that in the apostolic time
the term of service was Indefinite, and
if care and prayer is used in the elec
tion of church officers we believe the
'recall' will be unnecessary."
The report says that it would tend to
lower the standard of Presbyterian gov
ernment to meet existing unsatisfactory
conditions
University Goes Over.
The ad interim committee to look
into the matter of the establishment of
a great Presbyterian university near
Atlanta reported that the time was
hardly ripe. It was proposed to ex
pend $150,000 as an initial invest me:
The matter was held in abeyance.
The special committee on changes in
the fundamental law of the church, re
specting the basis of representation in
the general assembly, submitted the
following amendment to paragraph 87
of the book of church government:
"Evert presbytery shall be entitled
to send one minister and one ruling
elder for every 1.000 members but if
the number of communicants and min
isters be over 1.000. it shall send an
additional minister and elder for every
additional 4.000 communicants."
The committee adds:
“The basis of representation recom
mended is in closer harmony with our
church forms than the one we .now
have. It will yield a fairer and more
equitable representation and will make
the assembly about its present size "
A motion to adopt the report was
made. but. objection being raised, the
moderator docketed it.
The assembly voted almost unani
mously to hold the 1913 session at the
North Avenue Presbyterian church in
Atlanta. It is expected that rhe North
ern and United Presbyterian assemblies
will meet in Atlanta at the same time
for the proposed Pan-Presbyterian
Pentecost, with joint meetings in the
city Auditorium.

SUBMARINE FAST IN SAND
ATLANTIC' CITY. N. J.. May 18.—
More than 1.000 persons lined the beach
at Longport today while a rescue fleet,
worked to pull the stranded subma
rine boat C-2, which went ashore in
Great Egg harbor in a fog on Thurs
day. from her dangerous position. Cap
tain Dannenhauer and four members of
his crew were still aboard the craft,
which had worked her way, since her
stranding, through the quicksand of the
outer bar to the middle shoal.
Because of the shoals, none of the
fleet could get nearer than half a mile
of the grounded vessel. After a. spliced
hawser was attached, the collier Leb
anon put on full steam, but the C-2
stuck fast. The Lebanon’s commander
decided to wait for high tide before
making another try.

New Bids Asked for
Marietta Street Work;
Other Contracts Let
Because only one bid was submitted
for the contract to pave Marietta street
with asphalt and it was above the cost
limit, the streets eotnmitee of council
has decided o ask for now bids, again
delaying the paving of this street. The
contract will amount to near $70,000.
Owing to a disagreement between the
property owners and city officials as to
the kind of pavement to be used on the
street the work was delayed for many
months. The property owners finally
won their contention for asphalt rather
than any block pavement. But the fail
ure of contractors to submit satisfac
tory bids may cause a change in the
material.
Bids were accepted for the pavement
of the following streets:
North avenue, from Peachtree street
to Williams street, with wood blocks;
Fourteenth street, between Peachtree
and "West Peachtree streets, with bi
tuminous macadam: Bi < hatles ave

city limits, with bituminous macadam,
and McLendon avenue, between More

GETS NO DAMAGES
LONDON. May 18 The king bench
division of the high court of justice
was busy today with the interests ot a
woman who would not and a woman
who would and did Godivize Coventry >
coronation pageant.
The comedy actress Kathleen Hamil
ton sued the newspaper Sketch for pic
turing her as Lady Godiva, thereby, as
she claimed, injuring her professional
reputation. The photographs printed in
Sketch, according to the testimony,
were not those of Kathleen, but of Viola
Hamilton, who is in no wav related to
the plaintiff.
Kathleen Hartiilton indignantly as
serted that she had never worn tights
in her life.
Viola Hamilton took the stand, gown
ed in away Lady Godiva, never thought
of. and proudly claimed that the photo*
graphs represented herself. She gloried
in the fact that she had been chosen out
of 600 applicants by the town clerk of
Coventry, who had inspected and ap
proved her costume.
The jury decided that Kathleen Ham
ilton had not suffered any damage to
her reputation and gave a verdict fm
the defendants.

MO OF HEALTH
SCORES COUNCIL
Holding Up of Recommended
Destructor Plant Is Termed
“ Cheap Politics.'’
Members of the board of health do
not like the'way council's finance com
mittee Jias handled their recommenda
tion for a garbage disposal plant. They
said today that the action of the com
mittee is a cheap piece of "peanut poli
tics.” and that they intend to stand on
their original recommendation, no mat
ter what the finance eemmittee docs.
The board of health recommended the
acceptance of the $400,000 bid of the
Destructor Company of New York. The
finance committee has held up the mat
ter for ten days in order to hear new'
propositions from other companies.
"Duty of Council to Furnish Funds.”
After ex pi opsing his disapproval of
the action of the finance committee. Dr.
W. L. Gilbert, president of the board of
health, invited all lh«- other members to
do likewise. They immediately respond
ed in caustic terms. The unanimous
opinion of the boa;.l was that the duty
of the finance committee was to pro
vide the money and not decide what
sort of disposal plant the city needs
They said it was an insult to the in
telligence of the hoard of health to have
the recommendation on which they had
ppent months of work thus ignored.
This is the second breach between
council and one of the administrative
boards within the last few days. The
other board to protest was tin' park
board regarding the council's interfer
ence with Sunday swimming. But the
council and the finance committee hold
' the reins of authority, though the rec
ommendations of the administrative
boards are usually accepted.

Crazy Street Clocks
Nuisance That Must
Go, Councilmen Rule
"When is a clock not a clock?” asked
the man.
"When it doesn't tell time,” promptly
piped the city council.
The street committee of that ancient
and honorable parliamentary institu
tion met in session yesterday afternoon
and discussed in tones of gravity the
tact that certain well known clocks
about town were not keeping the proper
time. There was one. for instance,
which said quarter to one when it was
one and a quarter, while another kept
its fingers pointed at high noon all day
long.
The committee decided that a clock
which kept improper time should be re
moved from the streets or veiled from
public gaze Such a clock was a nui
sance, was entirely out of harmony with
the public peace, and should be elimi
nated.

We spent many years experimenting with the vari

out.
Three years ago we settled on the Red Comb feeds.
They were the best then and they are the best now.
Every sack is exactly of the same grade from one year’s
end to the other, the only poultry feed we have ever
found that does run regular. ,

FIGHT TO REPEAL
AMENDNIENTIS
Mississippi Convention Again
to Consider Urging That
Move at Baltimore Meet.
JACKSON. MISS.. May 18. -"We
urge our senators and congressmen,
both in this state and the nation, to
submit to the people of America an
amendment of the Federal constitution*
repealing the fifteenth and modifying*
the fourteenth amendment."
This is the clause in the platform of
the Democratic party in Mississippi
that the twenty delegates from this
state are expected to present to the na
tional convention at Baltimore, and the
outcome of the agitation of the ques
tion, if it attains that dignity, is being
awaited with much Interest in the state.
For the past eight years Mr. Varda
man's advocacy of the repeal of the fif
teenth amendment and modification of
the fourteenth amendment have been
his principal political propaganda, but
this is the first time that he has at
tempted to carry it into the council
chamber of the party and have it made
a part of the national platform.
The Mississippi delegates, while in
structed to vote as a unit, are not a unit
on this question. Seven of them are
pronounced anti-Vardaman men. and
therefore not likely to give him any
material aid in the agitation; first, be
cause they believe it would be unwise
to agitate such a question at this time,
when the Democratic patty has splen
did prospects of success, and. second,
because they do not believe any sug
gestion of such a plank in the platform
will get beyond the committee on reso
lutions.
The verbiage of the resolution in
structing the state delegation for Un
derwood is also a subject of much dis
cussion. The resolution declares that
the members of the delegation must
vote for Underwood, and vote for him
"first, last and all of the time.” Under
a strict interpretation of this sentence,
it would seem that in event of Under
wood's withdrawal during the early bal
lotting. the Mississipni delegation must
keep on voting for him. and therefore
have no voice in the actual naming of
the party standard-bearer.
The last public utterance, almost a
dying declaration from the lips of.C. H.
Alexander, one of the state-at-large
delegates, was to the effect that he did
not recognize the'authority of the state
convention to give him instructions
more stringent than those he bad re
ceived from the people in the primary
election; that he regarded the voice of
the people as a more supreme authority
than a delegate convention, and. in
event of Underwood's retirement, would
feel himself at liberty to vote for any
body he might see fit This, it is learned
on good authority, is the same feeling
cherished by other anti-Vardaman
members of the delegation.

BABY’S NOVEL HAT,
GRANITE-WARE POT,
IS SOFT SOAPED OFF
NEW YI.IRK. May IS.—The world of
surgery was startled by a marvelous
operation when Dr. Sovak, of Bellevue,
amid the applause of assembled sur
geons and nurses, removed an entire
granite-ware cooking pol from a baby's
head.
The pot was stuck fast on top, cov
ering the youngster's eyes, hut leaving
him full room for the exercise of his
vocal talents.
When his mother carried him through
the streets all the way to the hospital,
she was followed by an alarmed and
sympathetic crowd. The pot, wedged
down over the little dome, seemed cer
tainly to conceal some dreadful injury.
The screams of the child increased the
feeling of dread among those who know
nothing about babies.
Realizing that it was a case new to
surgery, Dr. Sovak adopted unique
methods. Two attendants stood Peter
on his head while the doctor applied
soft soap in generous quantities round
the edge of the pot. Then by- slow and
careful manipulation through a full
half hour lie gradually divorced the
baby from the clinging pot.
The unpleasant "lid" removed, little
Peter sat up. stared blankly and in
dignantly at tlie doctor for a moment,
uttered one hesitant, final yell, and
then laughed.

ing to remove SYMPTOMS without seeking to eliminate the CAUSE
of the symptoms will never produce permanent results.
All during my long medical career I have insisted upon correct
diagnosis. My associates—the best medical talent possible to secure
—and I are thorough in our examinations. There is too much care
lessness in prescribing for people afflicted with chronic troubles. The
time is past when a doctor may look at the patient’s tongue, feel the
pulse and scribble off a prescription.
What the profession today needs is not some new sure-cure or
specific, but a more scientific and intelligent use of the remedies
which are already known. More care and attention to the details
of each case are needed. And this is what I have always insisted
upon in my office. Because of this I have been successful with my
patients.
There are hundreds of people in the South in all walks of life
who know what I say is true. They know they have been restored
to health after believing themselves beyond hope.
In my new suite of offices in the Brown-Randolph building I
have the finest equipment in the South, and I do not believe there is
a better equipped office in the United States for the treatment of dis
eases of men, chronic diseases and nervous disorders. My labora
tory has everything necessary for the use of a scientific physician.
In fact, I have everything which a successful specialist should have.
To those who are suffering and who have sought relief in vain,
I extend an invitation to call and talk things over with me. Consul
tation is free. I will be frank and say just what I can and can not
do. My office hours are from Bto 7; Sundays and holidays, 10 to 1.
