4 SUICIDE ATTEMPT HEUNITESCOUPLE Galloway and His Wife Are Glad He Didn't Succeed in Killing Himself. C. G. Galloway, a foreman employed by the Willingham Lumber Company, is glad today he did a poor job when he rut his throat and stabbed himself ove; the heart yesterday In a boarding house at 337 East Hunter street. Mrs. Galloway, the young wife, is equally happy The husband and wife at Grady hos pital today forgot all of their matrimo nial differences. It was his wife’s re fusal to live with him that caused Gal loway's fit nf despondency. "My. I thought I h>.d lot him when I heard about his cutting his throat and stabbing himself." said Mrs. Gal loway, as she leaned over the cot where her wounded husband lay. "But he's going to get well now, and is not going to do this any more." "No. indeed; I'm done now," declared Galloway. Galloway said he had worried his Wife so much that she "ran him away from home." He said he went back'to the home 169 Kirkwood avenue, yes terday, but that his wife would not lis ten to him. He then determined to kill himself, going to the Hunter street boarding house. "I fully intended to kill myself with gag." he said, "but I found there was no gas in my room I obtained a. razor and slashed my throat. I realized this slash would not kill me, and. as it hurt so, I didn't have the nerve to cut iny throat again. I then pulled nut my knife and jabbed It In my side, think ing to hit the heart. This hurt, too, so badly that 1 wouldn't try the knife again. I'm glad now 1 didn't make good." Essie May Duke. The body of Essie May Duke, little daughter of Mr and Mrs C. A.

Mitchell Street Opposite Terminal Station LEGISLATORS ARRIVE; READY FOR WORK The sleepiest bell hop in the Kimball house lobby had to wake up today and chase ice water and o'.her things up and down the stairs. The chairs were al! filled and the lobby began to look like another convention was about to break loose It was the annual day-before the-legislature crowd. coming in to boost pet bills, get things lined up for putting something over or putting something else In the pigeonhole, pick ing out a boarding house or landing a small job left vacant since last session The assembly begins tomorrow to last 50 jla vs. not including* Sundays, holi days or dies non. which means a day which "doesn't count.” The report that the legislature would convene, call the roll and adjourn over until next week on account of the Bal timore convention is discredited by of fl dale of the two houses and those early arrivals .who came prepared to start, business. “There are not half a legisla tors in Baltimore, anyway, even in cluding J. Randolph Anderson," said one of the house officers. "There's no reason why we should adjourn. We all admit that Baltimore has a three ring circus compared to our sideshow, hut we're going to keep open all the week if we don’t take tn a cent, as the country storekeeper remarked the day everybody left for the footwashing. We likely will pass some dozen bills before Baltimore turns out.” Speaker Holder to Stick to His Desk. Speaker John N. Holder Is here and likely to stick right at his desk, in spite nf the fact that he's running for con gress from his home district and would like to be in the fray. But it wmpd make pretty good argument to say the speaker had deserted bls post to run for office, and John Holder Is wise. Be sides. he ran see most of the big guns in his district right here, for they'll all be coming to Atlanta during the legis lature. The Tippins antl-near-bear bill, first on the house calendar, will never come up for passage this summer, according LHE ATLANTA GEORGIAN AND NEWS, TUESDAY, JUNE 25. 1912. to gossip in hotel lobbies. Opponents of the measure assort that the bill will be "sidetracked" and the house will never reach a vote on it Its opponents are not desirous of go ing on record against Its passage, while its friends, except a few enthusiasts, do not seem bent on making it an issue. "Even should the bill pass the house It has a small chance in the senate.” said one member. "And Joe Brown will veto it even if it passes both houses. He promised last year to sign no bill which would change the pres ent status of the. prohibition law- un less the measure should first be sub mitted to a vote of the people. "The Tippins bill would have to be amended to provide a referendum, and not be done and the election held before the close of this session.” It is not expected that any other pro hibition legislation wilt be given much consideration this 1 summer. There are a number of local bills to prohibit the sale of near-beer in certain counties, and these will probably be passed with out serious opposition when backed by their local delegations. There Isn't much excitement sched uled this session. There are no officers to elect, for the president of the senate, the speaker of the house and all other officials were elected last year and hold over through this summer. There may be a few vacancies to be filled on ac count of deaths or resignations, and a few now members to be sworn in for the same cause. There will be the usual flood of new bills on the first day, ranging from an act to amend an act. regulating a foot bridge across Goose creek to an act to prohibit running trol ley ears on Sundays. But all the mem bers have been seasoned by a year’s experience and fewer “freak" bills are expected than are the rule at first ses sions. Capital Bill Likely to Sleep. Nearly every big question brought up last year has been left over for consid eration at this session, but they are not arousing the enthusiasm which followed their introduction. Bibb county still has its bill to move the capital from Atlan ta to .Macon, and the selection of a new site for the governor's mansion and the sale of the old property still is pend ing. There are several bills providing new counties, which means more coun ty seats and more county jobs. A change in the present law, to make the state game warden elective by the people instead of having that official appointed by the governor, will come up for passage and will probably be passed, according to friends of the bill. Representative Wilson, of Gwinnett, one of the veterans of the house, is in towrj for the session. Mr. Wilson is al ways one of the first to arrive in At lanta. first in his seat and the last to leave. He is considered as much a fix ture in the house as the speaker's stand. ' I've got one hill which I want to sec passed." he said today. “It provides for the Australian ballot system, a secret vote, and it gives every party a •chance to share in the choice of elee-, tion officials and get a square deal. "I'm referring to regular official state elections, of course. Yes; I know the primary Is the main thing now. but it won't always be. When we really get rid of the negro vote, as we shall, we won't need so many primaries." TUFTS COLLEGE PREXY CAN'T BEG.

When asked if it were true that the trustees want "a beggar." and not an educator, for president, he said: "That is to a certain extent true. I admit that I have not raised any very large amounts of money for the college. "I suppose, more than anything else, the situation is rthat I have always conceived my position to be that, of an educator, but the trustees want a solicitor of funds.’.’ Bargain Priced Steamer Trunks flip saving we offer you will help pay the expense of your summer trip.

Edwin p, Ansley., prominent real es tate man. in a letter to the Chamber of Commerce made public today, calls upon the citizens of Atlanta to revolt against “the politicians” and put a Business Men’s Ticket in the field at the city election this year. Mr. Ansley declares that the city is In the grasp of politicians who run it for their own benefit and violate all their pledges of public Improvement. He charges that there is today an epidemic of typhoid fever in Atlanta, and lays the fault upon the open sew ers. Never before,in the history we.e the streets in such frightful condition as at present. Urges Business Men to Revolt. "What the city needs,” he goes on, "is immediate relief from these open sewers, but it will take a meeting of the progressive business men of At lanta, acting either through the Cham ber of Commerce or otherwise, to do it. Nearly half a million dollars is being spent this year in street work and yet the streets are In such condtion that the health of the city is shamefully neglected. "Let the Chamber of Commerce or the business men get together and se lect a ticket for council and officers to be elected this year, composed of good business men, who will run the city government on a business basis. Let us have a competent engineer to get away from the makeshift system we have been following for years ’’ Denounces Neglect Os City Officials. "Let us remember that.we are build ing not only for today, but For tomor row, and that what is sufficient today will be holly inadequate a few years hence. The public works department is the one which is suffering most and needs th? most attention.” Mr. Ansley scathingly denounces the alleged neglect of the city government in such cases as rhe coagulation basin, th? fallen Jackson street bridge, the inadequate school houses and the Spring street grade.

L. Brittain in his annual re port. Georgia's chief difficulty, so the su perintendent maintains, Jias been its inability to pay teachers promptly—a difficulty due largely to the dependency of the common schools upon the state treasury. No more than twenty coun ties in the state levy a local tax for the maintenance of schools, and some counties draw more money from the state for schools alone than is paid in general taxes. Great Reforms Needed. State statistics show’, the report says, that counties in which the local tax system exists maintain the most effi-’ cient schools. The local tax system is the system used in the majority of states and »in the states that have the best schools. Mr. Brittain urges less rigid restric tions be placed about the matter of cer tification of teachers, particularly as it may concern high school and super vising teachers. The stat*, he believes, should generally recognize licenses and certificates from other states coming up to the approved standard. He insists upon a codification of all school laws. In discussing the matter of compul sory education, Mr. Brittain maintains that other and greater school reforms are needed in Georgia before its schools will be In condition to permit of the passage of a rigid compulsory educa tion law. No state, he says, with con ditions similar to those found in Geor gia has been successful with a compul sory law. J. T. BROCKMAN DIES. J.
