SISTER DEAD IT HER SHOT, GIHLPUNS SUICIDE News of Fatal ; Ending of Scuffle Over Revolver Kept From Ruth Berry. Unaware that her sister lies dead in the Noble sanitarium on Pryor street as a result of a scuffle over their fa ther’s revolver, Ruth Berry, of Peach tree City, threatenen time and again today to commit suicide if the wound she had unintentionally inflicted ended, fatally. She was kept undefc constant guard by her father, William Berry, a deputy sheriff of Gwinnett county, who feared to tell her the tragic outcome of the unfortunate fight in the Berry-home. The Gwinnett county authorities have taken no action against the girl, and planned none. The father insisted that the shooting was entirely acci dental, although many conflicting sto ries were told. One had it that the victim was shot defending her mother. According to Mr. Berry, the younger sister. Sallie, was accidentally shot when the two daughters were contest ing for possession of his revolver at their home late Thursday. It was dis charged and the younger sister was shot through one side. The bullet lodged against hip bone and was yesterday removed by an operation, but the girl died. Decided to Leave Revolver at Home. if I had only carried my revolver with me when I left home Thursday, all this would have been avoided," said Mr. Berry, who, with his wife, was at the side of the wounded daughter until she passed away. I had some papers to serve on per sons several miles from my home and at first started to take the revolver along. But it was so heavy I decided I «ould not and left it on a table at home. “Then my daughters saw’ it there and began to scuffle over it. My.wife was almost prostrated after my daughter was shot, but neighbors summonad aid and Sallie was rushed to Atlanta. “Ruth is at home almost alone and continually declares she will commit suicide if Sallie dies. If she knew her sister had died, I believe she would car ry out her threat.” bursting flywheel EXPLODES BOILER; 15 WORKERS ARE HURT NEV YORK, July 6.

IXTR4 2 CENTS EVERYWHERE f m a o y r E n ° FIGHT BEGINS ANEW OVER THE COUNTY UNITPLAN State Committee Meets Today, and Will Likely Rescind Former Action,. PLANS OUTLINED FOR THE COMING PRIMARY Judges, Solicitors and Senator To Be Named by the Plu rality Method. The state Democratic executive com mittee will meet in the senate cham ber of the capitol today at noon tc fix the. rules for and name the date of the forthcoming general primary, and faced a fight over the county unit plan. While the leaders Inside the com mittee insist that no concerted plan of action has been agreed upon and that the rules and regulations, as well as the date, will be fixed absolutely by the committee within itself, it may be taken as approximately certain that the primary will be called upon the following terms and conditions: Unit Plan Will Probably Succeed. It will be a white primary, re stricted to Democrats, and the reg istration lists applying to the lata presidential primary will be pre scribed to determine who has the right tgi vote. The governor and state house of ficers will be nominated under a strict county unit plan. The judges and solicitors will be nominated under a popular plu rality plan, inside each judicial cir cuit. , A United States senator will be named under a popular plurality plan. The nominating of state senators and congressmen will be referred to the various senatorial and congres sional executive committees for ■ settlement. The date of the primary will fall somewhere between August 20 and September 10, probably close around August 30. Today’s committee meeting has been anticipated by politicians with acute interest, and its final adjustment of things will clear the political atmos phere wonderfully in Georgia. There has been great ifficertainty and hesi tancy among candidates and would-be candidates because of the committee’s tardiness in meeting for the purpose ot calling the primary. The one uncertain feature of the pro gram as agreed upon by the leaders in side the committee is whether the state house officers shall be named under a county unit or a popular plurality plan. The committee apparently is ail but divided evenly upon that, and the lead ers have been unable to count noses with positive accuracy. The probabil ity is that the county unit plan will prevail, but it is a fact that this com mittee has adhered in the past to the popular plurality plan, and to call a county unit primary, it will have to reverse itself —a thing many members are loathe to do.
