EXPECT TO SAVE
CITY 5300,000
ANNUALLY
Research Experts Declare .Rev
olution in Economy Will Re
sult From Municipal Probe.
Atlanta tax payers will be saved be
tween $300,000 and $600,000 a year if
the municipal research experts are able
to put into effect the economies they
are expected to bring about in the city
government as a result of the Investi
gation they will'start in September.
President Wilmer Moore, of the
Chamber of Commerce, and Chairman
F. J. Paxon. of the research committee
of that body, told The Georgian today
that as a result of the municipal in
quisition by experts they are now se
lecting in New York some antiquated
systems now In vogue in the munici
pality of Atlanta may be revised and
some of the clerical forces reduced.
They denied, however, that there is any
expectation among any of the local re
searchers that "something rotten in
Denmark” will be disclosed.
Still Lack Expense Money,
They declared that the peaceful probe
'only Awaits the raising of the expense
fund to $18.00(1 to provide for three
years research by the experts. Mr,
Paxon said that sufficient money has
already been raised to insure the first
year’s investigation, but he added that
It was by no means the intention of
the committee to make the reform
movement an experimental or short
lived affair. He declared the research
ers of Atlanta are so certain of its suc
cess that some go oven so far as to
claim that, put Into thorough opera
tions. the economies recommended by
the experts will decrease by 10 per cent
the $6,000,000 the city now expends an
nually.
ft is the present plan to set the mu
nicipal ferrets into every department
of the city government, beginning
probably with the comptroller’s office.
The expert from the municipal re
search headquarters in New York will

all departments, he will make sugges

and privately, as though they had been
devised by themselves. If they reject
them, the expert will submit bis report

Pupils Who Are Found Men

To Be Segregated.
CHICAGO. June 13.—Rigid medical
examinations are to be made of every
one of Chicago’s 350.000 school chil
dren when tlie fall term openb in Sep
tember. The board of education has
decided on this action. Wh n the ex
aminations are completed those found
to be mentally or physically deficient
will be segregated.
Each pupil will receive printed blank
with instructions to be filled out by a
physician and returned by the board.
This plan was adopted in order that
parents who wish to have their chil
dren examin ’d by their family physi
cians may do so.
"Healthy children should be safe
guarded against communicable dis
eases, while parents of defective chil
dren should be apprised of the truth
sooner and thus be enabled to have
their children treated before their
weakness becomes chronic,” was an ex
cerpt from the report of a special com
mittee on medical examination ap
pointed by lite school board and which
was adopted by the board.

Lieutenant Commander Duems, Beau
Brummel of the German naval fleet
now visiting this country, says that
Mrs. Spencer Cosby, of New York, is
the most beautiful American woman he
has seen. He says he spoke also for
his fellow officers aboard the cruiser
Bremen—but the lieutenant command

critical judgment upon the belies of

admits that he has changed his "Amer

come—
Many Beautiful Women Here.
Mrs. Frank Meador has often been
called the most beautiful woman in
Atlanta, So have several other belles
under Southern skies, and Atlanta

Cosby is the most beautiful American
I have seen —-yet.”

charms that won him considerably

BROWN GROOMED
FOR SENATE MCE
i Friends Want to See “Little
Joe” in Another Contest
With Hoke Smith.
That a number of "Little Joe"
Brown s friends are grooming him —in
their minds, anyway—for the senatorial
race in 1914 there Is no longer any
doubt
Recently there has appeared in va
rious newspapers throughout Georgia
a story to that effect, and in many’ pub
lications the suggestion has met with
more than an ordinarily warm recep
tion.
The governor, so far as anybody will
tell, has never said anything about this
matter.
When cautiously and circumspectly
approached—there are still a tew mis
guided ones here and there who under
; take to get upon the blind side of "Ut
ile Joe" now and then —upon this topic,
I the governor merely smiles one of his
| justly famous super-noncommittal
smiles, and lets it go at that!
That may mean Barkis is willing—
and it may- mean Barkis thinks It’s
none of your business. One never can
tell for sure, unless the governor wants
him to.
Nevertheless and notwithstanding,
"they say"-—always lay things on "they
say.” if nobody else will stand for them
uncomplainingly—that ■ the governor
would not object to following further
in the footsteps of his distinguished
father, through serving a term or two
in “the most august deliberative body
on earth."
It looks as if Senator Bacon Is to
have relatively smooth sailing on his
way back to the senate, but If "Little
Joe” and Senator Hoke Smith should
flgh< It out In 1914 —well, to say the
least of it, there would be something
’ doing.

He abused her about it, she says, and
