Building Inspector Pledges Help
in Chief Cummings’ Crusade
Against Perils.
Ed R. Hayes, inspector of buildings, In
a statement to The Georgian today de
ciares he is going to co-operate with
Fire Chief Cummings to eliminate the fire
peril which the chief declares endangers
10,000 girls in Atlanta daily. Mr. Hayes
denies that he is at loggerheads with
the chief and declares that he was mis
represented in a recent Interview, al
though he does not deny he declared he
was “too busy” to remedy the evils of
which »Chief Cummings complained.
Here is Mr. Hayes’ statement in part:
"Tn February, 1911, the building code
under which the city of Atlanta is now
operating became effective. With the
adoption of this code many changes were
brought about in building construction. To
many minds they were revolutionary. To
educate the builders along a new line of
building and to enforce these laws has
required a great deal of time and per
severance. However, I have found time
to take up the question of fire protection
by having had erected more than 200 fire
escapes and fire ladders; also in innumer
able instances I have had occasion to have
plans changed on proposed buildings that
would insure better protection tor the in
mates.
“A word about the automatic sprinkler:
The law as quoted is correct, but let us
put the emphasis where it belongs.
‘Buildings of large area, which are occu
pied for mercantile or manufacturing pur
poses, when located within a congested
district, forming, in the opinion of the in
spector of buildings or chief of the fire
department, conflagration breeders, shall
be protected throughout the entire build
ing with automatic sprinklers.’ At the
present one of the uptown buildings will
follow immediately, and this will con
tinue until the ‘fire peril’ in Atlanta will
have been reduced to a minimum.
“The fire department and this depart
ment have co-operated in the most har
monious manner. We fully appreciate the
importance of the position we occupy.
Upon the friendly relations of these two
departments the safety of our citizens
depend. Therefore, as public officials do
ing our duty, or as private citizens, we
will work together, pull together for the
uplifting and upbuilding of our great
city.”
PRAISE FOR ATLANTA
HEALTH OFFICERS IN
CLEAN CITY CRUSADE
Recorder Pro Tern. Preston, on the
bench in police court today, compli
mented the health department and san
itary inspectors on their aggressive
ness in the present war for the health
of the city.
The recorder had just concluded the
trial of several health cases when he
remarked:,
. “The sanitary Inspectors are doing
fine work ift cleaning up the city. I
hope they'll keep it up and show no
quarter to disease and conditions that
breed disease. All persons refusing to
comply with the health laws should be
arrested arid brought into court, no
matter who they are nor what theii
social station may be.
He raid he would back up the health
department, and would apply drastic
sentences, if necessary.
DRINK-CRAZED GREEK

dodge behind trees and telephone poles
at 4:30 o’clock this morning to escape
bejng shot to death by Alexander Lu
cas. a Greek merchant of 216 Edge
wood avenue, who. crazed by liquor,

tance away, walking in the direction of
the store, when the Greek opened fire

that he was shooting at random, the
officers made no attempt to shoot him.

Mabel Taliafero Says the Stage Is Safe
"PROTECT SOCIETY GIRLS"
Actress Declares Rich Young
Women Face the Greatest
Snares in Big Cities.
“Protect your young society women
from temptation; the women of the
stage can more often than not take
care of themselves,” said Mabel Talia
ferro today. Speaking from a twenty
one years experience—and she isn’t
much older than that—this w-ell-known
star believes that the stage is the saf
est and cleanest profession a woman
can follow.
Miss Taliaferro came into Atlanta on
gum-slippers last Fridaly. Although
she moved with freedom about the city,
nobody knew she was here until the
curtain went up on her sketch Monday
afternoon
Miss Taliaferro is very serious, very
loyal and very enthusiastic about her
profession.
“I’m not talking at random when I
say this," she said. “If I had a daugh
ter, I wouldn't hesitate to place her,
unchaperoned, on the stage. Instead of
throwing a guard about her, I would
simply put her on her guard. A young
woman in society meets temptation in
so many and such extremely subtle
forms that unless she be of unusual
fiber she finds herself considering it,
subconsciously often as not.”
She Has Investigated.
Miss Taliaferro is more than an ac
tress. She has often engaged in set
tlement work and made close investi
gation of conditions in Chicago, and
knows whereof she speaks.
“All of which goes to prove that the
perils of the stage are largely a matter
of myth.” said Miss Taliaferro,
“But don't think I'm urging an in
discriminate rush to the stage. We
have too many now who are actually
not worthy but hang on for some rea
son or another. It makes me mad— ’’
and here she clenched a tiny fist and
looked as fierce as it is possible for a
might}* pretty girl to look—“when some
ignorant little upstart breaks in, and
because of money or a trim figure or
some other quality equally as super
ficial, gets Into a position and shoves
out a performer who is capable.
"We have lots of actors and actresses
this moment who, because they can't
find a play or for some other reason,
are receding slowly from the public
gaze when they shouldn’t—when, if the
public could see them, it wouldn't allow
them to go.
A Company of Lost Stars.
"Sometimes—and here's a story for you
though it may never materialize. I am
going to organize a company composed
of old stars —old in reputation. I mean,
who for the moment have become lost.
There would be Annie Russell, and
Viola Allen, and Mrs. Fiske, and Mrs.
Leslie Carter, and a number of others.
And the people would Immediately say:
‘Why, where have you been? Why
haven’t we seen more of them?’ Just
think of what a drawing card it would
be.”
Miss Taliaferro will be in vaudeville
until the first of December, and the
greatest part of her tour will be confin
ed to the South in accordance with her
own request. Being a native of Rich
mond, Va., and a member of the fa
mous Taliaferro family of Florida, she
is naturally prejudiced. She likes
Southern people and Southern customs
and wonders in a quaint, w ondrous way
why more Southern women with their
lovely voices have not taken to the
stage.
Miss Taliaferro herself has the ear
marks. Her syllables flow as smoothly
and mellifluously. She is intense in
spots, has blue eyes and freckles. All
of which combines into a rare Southern
insouciance.
Furthermore, she is afraid of thun
der.
ACCUSE AUCTIONEER
OF WHISPERING SALE;
WRIT HALTS THE DEAL
The Fairburn Banking Company told
Judge Pendleton in third division of
superior court today that C. O. Webb
is the original whispering auctioneer
and asked the court to set aside the
sale of property comprising the estate
of the late Mrs. Lizzie Summerlin,
which went under Webb’s hammer for
$6,000.
The banking company asserts it held
a mortage for SI,OOO on the Summer
llnp property. The officers were told
that. Homer Summerlin and Joseph
Summerlin, executors of the estate, in
tended to put the real estate up at pub
lic auction.
The bankers were present when the
sale was begun and expected to stop it
when the Summerlin property was
reached. Webb, so the banking compa
ny asserts, whispered the sale and
knocked the property down to Joseph
Summerlin for $6,000.
Judge Pendleton was asked for an
injunction against the transfer of the
property and granted a temporary or
der.

R. R. COMMISSION HAS
NO JURISDICTION OVER
ALIEN CORPORATIONS
The state railroad commission has
decided that it has no Jurisdiction to
review the stock and bond issues of
foreign corporations, even though such
issues arc made on developments in
Georgia.
The commission reached this conclu
sion in deciding the old Atlantic Coast
Line bond case, upon which hinged
similar cases affecting a score of for
eign corporations operating in Geor
gia.
The A. C. L. issued $30,000,000 in
bonds, and failed to submit the issue to
the commission for approval. The rail
road was cited to appear, and its at
torney’s argued that the commission was
without jurisdiction because the A. C.
L. was a Virginia corporation.
In agreeing with the Coast Line at
torneys. the railroad commission has
practically relinquished authority over
the capitalization of developments pro
jected by foreign corporations in Geor
gia.

■lls WITNESS
HITSGALIFORNIAN
LONDON, June 5.—J. Bruce Ismay,
managing director of the International
Mercantile Marine, and one of the few
men survivors of the Titanic, today
added his indictment to the many oth
ers against the Leyland liner Califor
nian, commanded by Captain Lord,
which is said to have stood by’ and of
fered no aid while the White Star liner
went down, carrying more than 1,500
persons to their grave.
Mr. Ismay’ was again called to the
witness stand when the board of trade
inquiry into the Titanic disaster was
resumed before Lord Mersey. He
swore that in his opinion the Califor
nian saw the distress rockets fired from
the Titanic as she was foundering. The
witness declared that he never attempt
ed to dictate to the captains of any
ships owned by his lines when he was
a passenger.
Questioned as to why Captain Smith
had shown him the ice warning mes
sag“. Ismay replied that the Titanic
commander probably thought that the
aerogram “would interest him.” It was
because of his company's great confi
dence in Smith that he was given com
mand of the Titanic, the witness de
clared.

NEWEST AIRSHIP
BALANCE!iITSELF
PARIS, June s.—An aeroplane with
a real automatic stabilisator is said to
have been invented by a M. Moreau, at
Combs-la-Ville, and he has issued a
statement which is sensational, to say'
the least, namely, that he yvas able to
fly a.distance of 30 miles or more with
out touching any levers. The appa
ratus automatically balances Itself in
the air, made circuits, and needed di
rection only when it was. a question of
turning to one side or the other, rising
or descending, and when landing.
M. Moreau has been trying to solve
the problem of automatic flight since
1901. He was supported generously by
a committee of Combs-la-Ville, and his
apparatus, a monoplane, differs con
siderably in general appearance from
other aeroplanes. His main object was
to obtain an automatic horizontal sta
bility. This is obtained by' an oscil
lating contrivance under the aeroplane.
The aeroplane consists of a pair of
wings resembling those of a crow’ or
dove, forming a united plane.. The
steering tall is of large dimensions, and
is movable in all directions.
Moreau made his first flight in this
machine a year ago. and. after having
continued working on It and improving
it, he made what he considers a con
clusive experiment on May 10 this year
at 7:25 in the evening.
No young woman, in the joy of
coming motherhood, should neglect
to prepare her system for the physi
cal ordeal she Is to undergo. The
health of both herself and the coming
child depends largely upon the care
she bestows upon herself during the
waiting months. Mother’s Friend
prepares the expectant mother’s sys
tem for the coming event, and Its use
makes her comfortable during all the
term. It works with and for nature,
and by gradually expanding all tis
sues, muscles and tendons, involved,
and keeping the breasts in good con
dition, brings the woman to the crisis
in splendid physical condition. The
baby, too, is'more apt to be perfect and
strong where the mother has thus
prepared herself for nature’s supreme
function. No better advice could ba
given a young expectant mother than
that she use Mother’s Friend; it is a
medicine that has proven its value,
in thousands of
cases. Mother’s MflTil
Friend is sold at IULK3I
drug stores. /W-tnirThlrfa
