RISKS DIPLOMA TO AID COMRADE Student Helping a Classmate Called by Death Message Nearly Misses Degree. That a rlassmate might reach home in time for his mother's funerej, Hil liard Spalding, of Atlanta, a graduate in the University of Georgia law ciass of 1912, risked the chance of missing the graduation exercises In order to take his friend in an automobile to At lanta, where connections could be made. His return trip to Athens was made alone, and young Spalding reached the campus barely in time to throw a cap and gown over his dust ridden garments and receive a degree. His ascension to the chapel stage was a signal for a loud burst of applause. James E. English, a member of the graduating law class, received news early yesterday morning that his moth er had been burned to death in the Waycross fire. The news came too late, however, for him to make train connec tions. He was in despair. Makes Record Trip. Young Spalding came to the rescue. His big new Thomas Flyer was soon ready for the trip, and the journey through the country was probably the fastest time ever made between the two places. English made his train all right, and without waiting a moment Spalding started back to Athens, hav ing only a short time in which to make the trip. But he reached here all right, getting to the university chapel just as Chancellor Barrow called his name to receiw his diploma from the law de partment of the university. He wa* hastily put into a cap and gown, with out even having time to wash up. and all tired and dirty, his appearance on the stage was the signal for the big gest round of applause of the day, as practically the whole audience knew of his feat. By special permission of the board of trustees, English was awarded his di ploma. even if he was prevented from being here to receive it, and Chancellor Harrow announced that it would be sent to him. He had only the day be fore represented his department at the commencement exercises, and was en joying the law class dance when he re ceived the sad news. CONFERENCE DELEGATES.

CITY BOARDS NOT TO BE REDUCED Amendments Committee Urges Present System Be Kept Till After Financial Probe. Atlanta's big city boards, eleven members each, will remain for another year, in spite of the council’s resolution a year ago virtually. pledging a reduc tion to five members. The committee on charter amendmepts voted not to recommend the reduction of boards to five members each, taking the position that as the Chamber of Commerce was soon to begin an expert investigation of the city government it would be best to await the expert's report before making any change in the existing sys tem. Alderman Candler introduced the resolution looking to an amendment reducing thy boards, and it is said nearly every member of the committee favored such a reduction ultimately. If the amendment is not obtained at the coming session of the legislature, it must wait at least until next sum mer. The council adopted a resolution last June, while the cdmmlssion govern ment agitation was at its height, which placed that body on record as favoring a smaller council, a smaller board of aidermen. the wiping out of ward lines and .the reduction of all city boards to five members, one from each of five al dermanic districts to be created. This was regarded as a concession to opponents of the existing system, which would so placate them as to de feat the new charter movement. The charter movement nas defeated, but the action of the committee, which will be followed up by the council this afternoon, leaves the boards unchanged for another year at least. CONNALLY IS VICTOR OVER PENDLETON IN GAME OF MARBLES Marble hostilities ceased 65 years ago were taken up yesterday aft. ernoon at the Second Baptist church picnic held at Mount Gilead, by Judge John T. Pendleton and Dr. E. L. Con nally. The two got on their knees and shot, seven games. » Dr. Connally won six out of seven. Judge Pendleton immediately accused him of having hung a horse shoe around his neck before beginning. One of the younger generation interrupted, however, with the statement that Dr. Connally's skill was little short of mar velous. “Judge. I have considerable misgiv ings about this game,” said Dr. Con nally before the start of the match. “I understand that you practiced it only 40 years ago, and it seems that 1 am handicapped.” “The last time I played marbles at Mount Gilead.” added Dr. Connally, "was 65 years ago.” KITCHIN-SIMMONS FIGHT CENTERING AT CHARLOTTE CHARLOTTE.
