HfIYESAIDSWAR ON FINE TRAPS 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 FIRES FUSILLADE AS OFFICERS APPROACH Policemen Wiley and Morgan had to 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, wildly fired a fusillade of shots from a revolver into the street in front of his store. The two officers were but a short dis tance away, walking in the direction of the store, when the Greek opened fire Realizing that the man was crazed and that he was shooting at random, the officers made no attempt to shoot him. When the firing ceased. Wiley and Morgan closed in on the merchant and captured him without resistance. Re corder Pro Tern Preston fined Lucas $50.75, equivalent to 30 days in jail, and bound him over to the state courts.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 Write for free KIIJjIM book for expect ant mothers which contains muetf valuable Information, and many sug gestions of a helpful nature. * BRADFIELD REGULATOR CO., Atluta, Gr* 5
