Bathers at Piedmont park lake no ticed two wpmen standing in one spot in the pool for nearly an hour. In cessantly they churned the water up and down as they moved their feet around feeling for something on the wooden flooring. They had gone in to gether and after paddling around for a short time an exclamation from one had caused both to stop swimming and start the queer search. At last Captain Ben Schlomberg. of the United States Volunteer Life Sav ing corps, noticed their predicament. For a few moments he swam around them and then gathering his courage, asked in a whisper that could be heard by all nearby: “Is there anything that I can do?” • “Er —er —I have lost my false teeth,” replied one. “I'll dive for them; I can get them, sure,” said the gallant life saver. The woman clutched his arm. “For goodness sake, if you get them, don’t bring them to the surface of the water,” she replied. ‘‘Just hold them under the water, and pass them to me.” The sunburned head and shoulders of the life saver disappeared. Hardly a moment later he came up. All was well for he surreptitiously passed some, thing to one of the fair swimmers who left the water as rapidly as they could. weddedTelopes. AND IS CAUGHT Young Woman Faints as Mont gomery Man Admits He Is Bigamist. After a two days search in Atlanta, A. L. Given, the married man who eloped from Montgomery with pretty Mary Lee. was foumTAnd arrested this morning in a boarding house at 59 Carroll street. When Given admitted to the police that he was a married man the girl fainted. She went back home today with her gray-haired stepfather, T. M. Beck, who had come from Montgomery to find her and' run down the man who had de ceived her. Given admitted that he was a biga mist and he was locked up until an officer from Alabama can arrive to take him back for trial. Three days ago the girl and the man disappeared from the Beck home in Montgomery. The aged stepfather in vestigated, because he had been told that in Opelika, Ala.. Given already had a wife and four little tots. Further in vestigation showed his stepdaughter had married the man she ran away with, and, believing that they would come to Atlanta, he hurried here to find them. Boy Gives Officers Tip. Early this morning the old man. with Officers Dobbs and Hannah, set out upon the search. They were standing at a street corner, discussing the better way to go. for they had no trace of either man or girl, when a small boy, who overheard them, told them that he could tell them where to find the ones they wanted. He led them to the Car roll street house. They routed Given out of bed and accused him of the bigamy. He admitted the crime and said he had told the girl that his wife was dead two years and that he had no children. The girl, listening at the bed room door, overheard him. She fell to the floor in a dead faint and the officers had to send for a physician to bring her back to consciousness. Her stepfather forgave her when she told him how she had been deceived. Given waived requisition. z THE SCORE CARD FOR TODAY’S BASEBALL GAME AT PONCEY PARK TIPPINS BILL BATTLE ON AGAIN IN HOOSE Randolph Anderson All Primed With Ammunition, But the Measure Will Likely Pass. LOOK FOR GOVERNOR TO ATTACH HIS VETO State-Wide Prohibition Fight Is Certain if Act Finally Carries Referendum Proviso. After a tour days’ vacation and an opportunity for a last word “with th' folks back home." the Georgia legisla ture met at 10 o'clock this morning, ready to settle the fate of that pestif erous and absorbing measure known by and large as the Tippins bill, set as a special order today. By agreement, debate is limited to two hours on each side, and the bill will come up for passage, on a call of the previous question, at 10:30 tomorrow morning. A hard fight will be made against the Tippins bill, under the leadership of Randolph Anderson, of Chatham. He represents a constituency solidly op posed to the measure, and he will make a supreme if approximately hope less effort to keep It from passing to morrow. Unquestionably, a very great deal of interest and no small measure of anx iety centers in this proposed act. Insiders Believe Bill Will Pass. It was framed primarily to strength en the state-wide prohibition law by outlawing utterly the sale of near-beer or any imitation of beer in Georgia. It limits the percentage of alcohol in any beverage to one per cent by volume, and it prescribes all makeshifts or al leged substitutes for beer. This bill cut considerable figure in the late special gubernatorial cam paign. in which Joseph M. Biown was named governor. There were three candidates in that fight—one was open ly hostile to the Tippins bill, another was openly friendly to It. and another, who was elected, assumed a position of neutrality, contenting himself with saying that he would veto any act in tended to amend the present prohibi tion law. unless it carried a provision whereby the proposal might be submit ted to the people for approval or rejec tion. The Tippins bill will pass the house and the senate undoubtedly, so the politicians who keep their ears to the ground believe. And the governor is expected to adhere to his intention to veto it, unless It carries the necessar.v provision for popular approval or re jection. State Prohibition Fight Threatened. In the event it does carry such a ■ ro vision, it will pave the way for an other state-wide prohibition fight, in which the question will be submitted directly to the people; in the event it does'not carry such a provision, ft will precipitate a big fight in the legisla ture to pass it over the executive veto. That it will nass the legislature as a primary proposition is assured; that it will pass over the governor’s veto is quite another question. Its opponents believe that there are a number of leg islators who will hesitate a long time to vote for it over the governor’s veto, even though they may be for it pri marily. The next 24 hours will tell what the bouse proposes to do with it—and the odds are heavy that the house will pass it. ATLANTA. GA., MONDAY.

GREEK BROAD JUMPER DEFEATS YANKEE STAR Relay Team From This Side, However, Makes Best Time in Trial Heat. By MICHAEL J. MURPHY. (Trainer of the American Team at Stockholm.) STOCKHOLM, July 8. —American athletes are now the overwhelming fa vorites In the fifth annual renewal of the Olympic games. The ease with which they swept the boards in the 100-rneter sprint was a revelation to the followers of athletics, and as a re sult Americans anxious to bet on their team were unable to place wagers of any magnitude today. What few bets were made installer the Americans as favorites with the odds at 4 or 5 to 1. American athletes went down in de feat in the first event of the third day’s contest of the Olympic games. This was the standing broad jump, which was won by Tsicletras. a Greek ath lete. He jumped a distance of 3.37 me ters. Second place was won by Platt Adams, of the New York Athletic club with 3.36 meters, and Benjamin W. Adams, of the New York Athletic club was third, with 3.28 meters. Tsicle tras’ jump was equivalent to 11.05 feet. The record is held by E. Wry. of Amer ica, who jumped 11 feet 4 7-8 inches at St. Louis, in 1904. Despite their defeat in the standing broad jump, however, the Americans were cheered when notified that their swimming team’s protest against the action taken In the 100-meter semi finals yesterday had been sustained by the international jury. The race will be re-swam before the termination of the games and the Americans are con fident that in this they will capture at least three points. Through some misunderstanding three men who had qualified for the semi-finals —Kahanamoku, McGillivray and Hussagh—did not appear for the semi-finals when they were swam off. In the trial heat Kahanamoku had broken the world’s record. U. S, Relay Team Swiftest in Trial.- America, Canada, England.
