BILL
Anti-Near-Beer Measure is the
Special Order In the House
for Next Monday.
SENATE DEMANDS PROBE
OF STATE HEALTH BOARD
Smith Adherents Scent Plot to
Oust Former Governor’s
Education Board.
Ths Georgia senate today adopted the
Beauchamp resolution to investigate
the state board of health, postponed the
hearing of a resolution calling on the
governor to return appointments made t
by Governor Smith and which did not ;
meet the Senate’s approval, and got i
down to routine businee*.
The house set the Tippins anti-near- !
beer bill for a special order on July 1, *
as predicted in The Georgian yester- |
day, and an amendment will be offered |
submitting the bill, if passed, to a vote
of the' people tn October. It received |
a bill providing that women shall have j
the right to practice law in Georgia, a j
bill to create a speota! department of i
Insurance, and passed a bill hanging i
over from last year appropriating $250 )
for a book case In the pension commit- •
sioner's office, which required a half I
hour of the house’s time. It adjourned j
shortly after 12 o'clock.
The Tippins bill, which promises the
principal fight of the session, will be
taken up next Monday. Two hours will
be given each side for debate, and on
the next morning at 10:30 o’clock the
previous question will be called and the
vote taken.
Representative Adams, of Hall coun
ty. will endeavor to amend the bill to
make it meet the. approval of Governor
Brown, who has stated that he would
veto any change in the existing prohi
bition law which is not first submitted
to the people. His amendment pro
vides for a referendum at the next state
election, the governor to approve it
only In case the voters favor ft. There
has been serious doubt expressed as to
the constitutionality of submitting a
statute to public vote after its passage,
and a hot fight is expected on the
amendment, which might result in
throwing the law out under a supreme
court test.
Smith Men Scent
Plot in Appointees.
Smith adherents in the state senate
scent a plot tq, oust the former gov
ernor's appointees on the board of edu
cation. They are fearful if the Brown
forces are victorious in the fight over
the Sheppard resolution scheduled now
for Tuesday, July 9, that Governor
Brown will reappoint the members of
the newly created state board of edu
cation.
This situation developed today more
or less definitely through statements
made by several of Senator Smith’s ac
credited followers in the senate. Brown
men. they asserted, were by no means
satisfied with the personnel of the
state board and would take this op
portunity to effect a change.
It will be up to the senate to decide
on legal grounds if the appointees on
the educational board, along with the
directors of the Augusta Medical col
lege fall strictly under Smith’s uncon
firmed appointments. AU of these were
originally appointments made under
acts passed at the last session of the
legislature.

member was named by Governor
Brown. Walter Steed was appointed to

Dr. Summerall Shows Evidence
and Facts on Which Man
agement Was Exonerated.
Following action by the board of trus
tees and medical board of Grady hospital.
Dr. W. B Summerall. the superintendent,
today prepared a statement regarding
conditions in rhe hospital, showing the
evidence,, and facts on which the two
boards based their exoneration of the
hospital system, and showirig that the
criticism of the food and charge of
"overwork” were unwarranted. It was
criticism that the internes were "under
fed” and "overworked" which led to the
recent investigation and the complete vin
dication of the hospital and its methods.
As to the criticism that nurses are
compelled to pay for instruments they
break; it is shown that this plan is in I
effect in all big hospitals, and that dur
ing a period of three years and three
months the total amount paid for such
breakage was only $45.30.
"Nothing to Hide.”
The statement goes into detail, the su
perintendent explaining that the hos
pital lias nothing to hide and that its
affairs are always open to the public.
The statement Is signed by a committee
of trustees. President Joseph Hlrsch,
Charles S. Northern F. .1. Spratllng and
i Wade P. Harding It concludes as fol
lows:
"The institution is doing great good.
The work is enormous anti continuous.
Publicity as to what we are doing and
as to true conditions will help us. Un
warranted and gratuitous defamation may
retard the good work, but it will not
■ stop it.”
The identity of the person who gave
out the false information concerning the
1 hospital still is a mystery, despite ef
forts of the officials to disclose It

“KIDNAPS" MINISTER
After weeks of preparation and pre
nuptial parties' had centered the inter
est of Newnan society folk on the mar
riage of Miss Katie Sue Brewster to
Professor A. M. Proctor, principal of
the Newnan High school, the assembled
wedding guests almost forgot to con
gratulate the bride in the excitement
produced by the unexpected elopement
—if it may be called that—and mar
riage of her maid of honor. Miss Ruby
Lovejoy, and Mr Joseph Parks, a prom
inent young Newnan mereha nt. ■ and
they were still talking about it today.
The same minister married both cou
ples and the two ceremonies were per
formed within an hour. yet. neither Miss
Brewster. Professor Proctor nor the
guests assembled for their wedding
knew that the ceremony was being de
layed in order that Miss Lovejoy and
Mr. Parks could first be united.
Bride and Groom
! Kept Waiting.
At 7:45 o’clock last night an auto
mobile was sent to the Lovejoy home to
take the maid of honor to the home of
Miss Brewster’s sister. Mrs. Robert
Barnett, while tile Brewster-Proctor
nuptials were to take place. Rut Miss
Lovejoy was not there, and the auto
waited, the chauffeur being informed
that she had gone to the home of her
grandfather nearby and would soon re.
turn. Another auto was sent to the
home of Rev. Dr. Cotter, the minister
chosen to perform the ceremony.
Eight o'clock and still no maid of
honor or minister.
The minutes slipped by until It was
almost 8:30, the hour set for the wed
ding. and still no attendant, or preacher
for the waiting bride an\l bridegroom.
Miss Brewster became ous.-Pro-’

I'Hl<’AGO. June 27.—Led by a yotbig
woman, fashionably attired, and armed

guests became nervous.
"What has happened7 Why doesn't
Ruby tome? WhaT's decayed Dr. Cot
ter?” were questions that passed back
and forth. The bridegroom became dee-,
perate.
"I will go and . get them,” he said,
and. securing another auto, he sped to
tlie Lovejoy residence. There he found
the first car waiting and learned that
Miss Lovejoy had gone to her grand
father’s home. He jumped in his ma- '
chine and sped over there. He rang the 1
bell and when it was answered was in
formed that Miss Lovejoy would be ,
ready in just a few minutes and for ,
him not to wait. He hurried back to
his bride-to-be with this message.
The wedding party at the Barnett '
home waited. They heard an auto drive
up. And in walked minister, maid of ,
honor and a MAN. The minister. Dr.
Cotter, grandfather of Miss Lovejoy,
announced that he had been delayed
because he had to stop to marry Miss
Lovejoy and Mr. Parks. The excite
ment of this announcement was such
that for a few minutes the waiting
bride and bridegroom were forgotten
while the guests crowded around Mr.
and Mrs. Parks to extend congratula
tions and express surprise.
When the excitement had subsided
sufficiently, Dr. Cotter proceeded with
the Brewster-Proctor ceremony, and
Mrs. Parks took her place as matron
instead of maid of honor.
The two couples boarded the train
for Atlanta. Mr. and Mrs. Parks going
to the Piedmont hotel and Mrt and Mrs.
Brewster to the Georgian Terrace upon
their arrival here. Today they left for
their honeymoon trips, the Brewsters
going io Monteagle. Tenn., and the

went.

ing her visit to the convention.

its aim and end and nothing that Is
morally wrong can be legally right,
."Strengthen all who are gathered in
tliis convention in the endeavor to rep
resent the will of the people."
