MILITARY HONORS
GIVEN GEN. HOKE
Senator Smith’s Uncle Buried
in Raleigh With Impressive
Ceremonies Today.
RALEIGH. N. C.. July 4.—Full mili
tary honors and the closing of the state
offices marked the funeral today in Ra
leigh of General R.' F. Hoke, ranking
officer of Confederate veterans, who
died yesterday at his home. Lincoln
ton. N. C.
General Hoke, who was well known
to many Atlantans, was the uncle of
Senator Hoke Smith and of Burton
Smith and father of Dr. Michael Hoke,
all of Atlanta. He also leaves a wife,
who was formerly Jdiss Lillian Van-
TVvck. of New York, and a son, Van-
Wyck Hoke, of Lincolnton.
Since the Civil war General Hoke had
been In business and at one time was
president of the Seaboard Air Line rail
road. He was 75 years old at the time
of his death.
As a soldier of the Confederacy, Gen.
oral Hoke held an enviable record. He
was generally believd to be the man
whom General Lee desired to be his
successor in case of death. Starting
out as a captain of Company K of the
First North Carolina regiment, known
as the "Southern Stars,” the young sol
dier rapidly rose in rank until at the
close of the war his rank was second
only to that of Lee’s. At the battle of
Cold Harbor General Hoke commanded
Early’s devision. He whs in command
of the district of North Carolina in
iB6O and surrendered with General
Johnston at Durham station, April 26,
1865.
On several occasions during the war
General Hoke was publicly thanked b’-
the Confederate congress for bravery
and coolness in command of his troops
end he was regarded as one of the
most efficient officers under Lee.

Southern Woman in
Lead in Race for Club
Federation Presidency
Mrs Percy V. Pennypacker Ap
parently Has Won Honor—Mrs.
Sarah Platt Decker 111.
SAN FRANCISCO, July 4.—The next
meeting place of the Genera! Federa
tion of Women’s Clubs convention was
the principal topic of conversation to
day among the delegates.
Tellers were still engaged in count
ing the ballots east in the presidential
election, and report was that Mrs. Per
cy V. Pennypacker. th» dimunltive can
didate from Texas, was far in the lead
over Mrs. Philip Carpenter, of New
York.
Much dissatisfaction ie expressed to
day because of the utter inadequacy of
the arrangements for conducting the
balloting for president. Many women
stood tn line for hours before being able
to east their votes.
The condition of Mrs. Sarah Platt
Decker still is serious. Her Illness,
which was first reported as a threat
ened attack of typhoid fever, proved to
be intestinal congestion and inflamma
tion. An operation may become neces
sary.
FORSYTH SECURES BIG
PLAYGROUND AND PARK
FORSYTH. GA., July 4—Forsyth is
to have a playground and park. For
some time the women of the Civic
league have been working to this end
and Judge T. B. Cabaniss has given his
large grove and lake to the league for
this purpose. Already the league has
built a pavilion and has equipped the
park with benches and swings, basket
ball and tennis courts and It will be
formally opened with speeches and ap
propriate exercises this week.
300 BLIND MEN GO TO
PARK TO SEE THE SIGHTS
PHILADELPHIA, July 4.—More than
360 blind men enjoyed an outing to
Willow Grove yesterday. It was a re
markable excursion for them and said
to be the first of the kind organized for
the blind of this city on such a scale.
They were accompanied by some of
the officers of the Society for the Blind,
and after enjoying the amusements at
tended a dinner. Then they heard the
orchestra in the afternoon and returned
home by special car.
WASHINGTON WANTS
TO GET EXTENSION
OF BRINSON RAILWAY
WASHINGTON, GA.. July 4—The
following letter from the Washington
Chamber of Commerce to the backers
of the Brinson railroad shows how this
section is interested in the projected
extension of the road from Waynes
boro, through Washington, to Ath
ens:
"This section is most needful of rail
way improvement of any in the state
of Georgia. Here we have a section of
country approximately 56 miles wide
and 36 miles long that is fed by a paltry
eighteen-mlle branch road of the Gear,
gia railroad. The opportunities here
are very wonderful, and the people of
this section have, only begun now to
awaken to their chances.
“We have offered the Brinson rail
road here in the city of Washington
$67,400, and propose to increase that to
$100,006 before many days have passed,
to extend that road here. Thomson has
offered $35,066 and the intervening
country will doubtless give free right
of way through the entire distance.
“Should this road go to Augusta, it is
possible that it will not be extended
farther, though we believe its extension
to Augusta will not debar Washington
from enjoying its privileges at a later
date, and we are not by any means
fighting Augusta. but we want the
Brinson railroad; we want it to come
direct, and we want it right off the
bat—now.”

FIGHT DILL AIMED
AT MBS. GRACE
Many Legislators See Effort to
Convict Woman by Chang
ing Witness Law.
When Representative Harrell intro
duced in the house of representatives
his bill to permit a husband to testify
against his wife he stirred up a hor
net's nest and is apt to have consid
erable buzzing about bis head for the
rest of the session. The house is full
of sympathizers with Mrs. Daisy Grace,
accused by her husband of shooting
him. and they immediately considered
the bill an effort to convict the woman
by changing the law. ,
Despite Representative Harrell’s in
sistence that he had no Interest in the
Grace case and that his bill was mere
ly designed to correct what he believed
to be a serious error in the criminal
laws, he was n\idc the target of sharp
questioning after the house had closed
its session. Joe Hill Hall, the Macon
statesman who also is a candidate for
governor, is said to have been out
spoken in his opposition to the bill,
while Mr. Hardeman, of Jefferson and
Thweatt Moore, of Butts, are among
those lined up against. It.
Moore Doesn't Discuss Bill.
Another member remarked that the
bill had about as much chance of pass
age this season as a one-legged man
in a marathon race. If it is not chloro
formed in the committee it will be
smothered on the floor or die in a
dusty pigeon hole when the session
ends.
John W. Moore, of counsel for Mrs.
Grace, would not discuss the hill to
day. or criticise Mr. Harrell for its
introduction. Ho remarked that a num
ber of women had called him by tele
phone yesterday afternoon immediate
ly after The Georgian published the
story of the proposed law, insisting
that the legislature seemed bent on
convicting a woman even though it
refused women the right to practice
law, but he declined to discuss the ef
fect of the bill upon the chances of his
client if by any possibility it should
pass.
It is promised that a sharp fight will
be made if the bill is reported back to
the house for passage. Several mem
bers have announced their intention of
speaking against it, with open refer
ence to the Grace case.

WOMEN TO AID OF
GIMMS
Petition Asks Council to Let the
Policemen Wear Cool Uni
forms in Hot Months.
Women of the Atlanta Civic league
today petitioned the mayor and coun
cil to grant the police and health and
sanitary department men the privilege
of wearing light weight , Sicilian coats
during the summer months instead of
the heavy weight, tight-fitting uniform
coat now prescribed by the rules of the
departments. >
“We are sure that the ’heavy coats
now worn buttoned to the throat are
torture to the men compelled to wear
them and a handicap to excellent ser
vice as well as a menace to health,"
says the petition.
Policemen complained to The Geor
gian some time ago that the “summer"
uniforms purchased through contract
and paid for by the individual members
were as hot as overcoats, heavily pad
ded and unfit for summer wear. The
petition of the women will be
given the hearty approval of the po
licemen. v
The petition is signed by Mrs. Amel
ia R. Woodall, Mrs. M. L. McLendon,
Miss Katherine Koch. Mrs. Alice C.
Daniel and Mrs. A. G. Holmes, officers
of the league.

ST. SIMONS “LID” TO
STAY ON TIGHT, SAY
OFFICIALS OF GLYNN
BRUNSWICK, GA., July 4.—Efforts
made by the near-beer dealers on St.
Simons island to have the “lid" re
moved by petitioning the Glynn county
commissioners have been in vain. The
dealers tried to convince the commis
sioners that by closing these "refresh
ment stands," as they termed them,
much harm is done the island; that
people from Interior points expect to
enjoy a "cold bottle" when they visit
the resort, and that by closing these
saloons the island will lose its popular
ity.
The commissioners lent a deaf ear to
all entreaties and further instructed the
special officer placed on the island for
enforcing the prohibition law to en
force it to the very letter. It is a vio
lation of the state law to sell beer in a
corporation of,less than 2,500, and as
St. Simons has a much smaller number
of inhabitants, the commissioners in
sist that by allowing this law to be vio.
lated they would be parties to the
crime.

BHIDGE BUILDING
FOUST ALLEGED
Floyd County Commissioners
Want Present Contract Law
Repealed by Legislature.
ROME. GA., July 4.---The Floyd
county board of revenues and roads
has gone on record as favoring the re
pealing the present state bridge law
whereby Georgia counties are required
to advertise bids and contract with
private concerns for the building of
bridges
The board alleges that there is a
bridge building trust and that the dif
ferent contracting concents always ar
range which one is to be awarded the
contract before they put in their bids.
It also claims the present measure was
adopted mainly through the efforts of
the “bridge building trust;” that the
county can build its own bridges
cheaper, and that the law should be re
pealed.
Chairman W M. Gammon and Coun
ty Clerk W. R. Shaw have been named
as a committee to go to Atlanta and
meet with representatives of other
counties.
