BURGLAR AT HOUSE FETE IS ROUTED BYCHILD Baby Girl (4) Surprises Thief in Guest Room and Scares Him Away. COMMANDS PRQWLER TO LEAVE; THEN CALLS AID Lee Hagan’s Tiny Daughter Saves Hundreds of Dollars From Intruder’s Clutches. Four-year-old Julianne Hagan scared a burglar away from the guegt room in the home of John Hagan at 265 East •Fourth street late last night and saved hundreds of dollars in money and jew els to the guests who were feasting 'downstairs. The burglar escaped with a single pocketbook containing about ■s2o. Little Julianne, who is the daughter of Lee Hagan, president of the Hagan- Dodd Company, had been put to bed by 'her aunt because she is a very little girl and because the Hagans were 'holding a big reception to half a hun dred guests in the brilliantly lighted 'dining hall below. And while she lay alone in her dark ened bed room upon the second floor she heard a noise at the window of the guest room, where all the wraps and purses lay just beyond. Julianne crept out of her bed and toddled into the other room and came upon the burglar bending over a bed on which lay many hats and cloaks with the women guests’ pursue in the pockets. Child Orders Burglar To Leave. The baby looked at the burglar as the burglar hastily drew a silver mesh purse from the pocket of a cloak that belonged to a woman guest from Chi cago. Then he confronted Julianne. "Go ’way from here," cried the un frightened four-year-old. "Go 'way from here, ’cause you’re a naughty burglar man. If you don't Um going to call for my auntie." "I ain’t any burglar," said the in truder to Julianne. "I’m just here to fix that bed there. You run back and go to sleep." “I won’t go back to sleep and I'm going to call my auntie,” retorted Ju lianne, and she did cry out lustily so that the guests in the ball room heard her screams and began running up the staircase to find out what al! the sudden trouble was about. Thief Takes Some Os Little Girl’s Candy. The burglar took fright at their ap proach. Curbing the little child who still faced him boldly from the door of the darkened guest room he thrust the pocketbook he had stolen into his coat pocket and bolted through the open window, shinning down a porch post and scooting through a back alley Just as Mr. and Mrs. Hagan and half their guests burst upon the scene. Then Julianne knew that there wasn’t any more danger and she began to cry with fright. The police were notified, after the guests had searched the neighborhood fruitlessly for a half hour. < iffieers An derson and McWilliams hurried out to the Hagan home and in the alleyway they found the pocketbook, which the burglar had thrown away after he had taken out the money. They found, also, that, the alley was strewn with disks of vari-colored candy which they think the burglar took believing they were poker chips. The candy had been a present from her uncle to Julianne. Julianne was put to bed again, .after all the guests had kissed her and told her what a little heroine she was, but she couldn’t go to sleep all night. All she could tell about the burglar was that he was a “great big white man" and had something over part of his face. Julianne is the toast of the neigh borhood. She is staying at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Hagan while her moth er and father are away upon a motor ing trip. VOLIVA SEES THE FINISH OF BIGGEST CITIES IN U.S. <' 111<' A< >' >. July 9.

Even the substi tutes proposed for this hill come within the governor’s threat (to veto the Tippins measure).

ATLANTA ASKS FOR ELKS GRAND LODGE CONVENTION IN 1914 PORTLAND, OREG. July 9. Elec tion of officers for the ensuing year and the choice of a meeting place for next year's reunion is ties most im portant business confronting the Elks grand lodge in session here. Roches ter N.

TIPPINS CHAMPION ATTACKS GOVERNOR DRAWING COURSE ON IN SCHOOLS Manual Training Also Will Be Re-established at Opening of the Fall Term. The department of drawing and manual training will be re-established in the pub lic schools at the beginning of the new term, according to a decision of a num ber of the members of the board of edu cation at a conference held today. It was further decided that a meeting of the teachers’ committee of the board should be held this week to plan the details of the system, which, it is declared, will be more simple and practical than the one formerly- used. Since the majority of the board voted a month ago to abolish this department, Mayor Winn, W. R Daley, president of the board, and others have been working for its re-establishment. It developed to day the opposition of the majority was to the system as then conducted rather to drawing itself. The principal change in the system is expected to be in the method of training the teachers in this art. Many of the teachers formerly had been required to attend normal classes in drawing and manual training. They constantly were protesting against this requirement. FELDER TO TESTIFY IN S. C.

Contrary to expectation, a vote was not reached on the Tip pins hill in the house of representatives today, and a desperate fight, marked by a vicious attack on the governor, went over un til tomorrow- So many substitutes and amendments are pending, and so many members wanted to speak upon them, that the leaders agreed at the last minute to permit the speaking to proceed, even though it did carry the bill over another day. The interesting feature of today’s debate was Representa tive .Alexander’s attack upon the governor, and the defense of the governor by Representative Hall, of Bibb. Both of these addresses were listened to in almost breathless si lence. The bill will conic to a vote about noon tomorrow. There are two more speeches to be made in its favor, and five in opposition. Woman Temperance Champion Attends. Conspicuous in the gallery today throughout all the speaking was Mrs. Mary Harris Arr Sour, the famous tem perance leader. She waved her hand kerchief and applauded every speaker in favor of the bill. Representative Anderson, of Chat ham, will close for the opposition tomor row. and Acting Chairman of the Tem perance Committee Beck, of Brooks, will close finally for the bill, Alexander Attacks Governor Brown. At 10:30 o'clock this morning tn the house of representatives the great fight over the Tippins bill was resumed. Mr. Alexander, of DeKalb.’concluded his address of yesterday with a tjhort summing up of his previous reasons for favoring the Tippins bill and a ‘sensational attack on Governor Joseph M. Brown, charging him with confes sions of inability to enforce the prohi bition law and with threats to block any further legislative enactments whatsoever with respect to the same. Mr. Alexander also took occasion to remove any impression that might ex ist in the public mind that he had sought deliberately to criticise the courts harshly or unfairly. "I would not willingly be put in the attitude of employing harsh terms or criticising the judges, and if the hastily written and necessarily fragmentary' reports of what I said yesterday have so represented me or left that impres sion, Ldeslre now to correct it and to disclaim any language attributed to me that comments or condemns. "No man will say, and 1 so declared on yesterday, that the judges in th< se circuits are hostile to the law; no man will say that they are incompetent: no man will say that they are afraid. ‘When great numbers of good citizens, puzzled by this condition, appeal to the governor, whose whole duty' is summed up by' the constitution of the state in the mandate 'to take care that the laws are faithfully executed,’ he publishes the statement that he is ‘as helpless as a baby’ to enforce the law. 1 am now told that he denies saying it. Then the fact remains that he can en force the law, but does not. “Court Also Powerless, They Plead.’’ "Turning to their chief magistrate, who is specially charged by the char ter of his office to take care in every emergency that the laws are enforced, they are told that he also is powerless. "Sending their representatives to the capitol, after the patient and law-abid ing manner of our ancestors, to strengthen the harlds of both the co ordinate branches of their government, the people see them met by a message that the governor will veto anything they do about it. “Where shall the people turn for re lief? I asked it yesterday. 1 ask ft again today. the substitutes proposed for this bill come within the governor’s threat. Anything we do about it. he tells us. will be vetoed. Where shall we turn? We are con fronted by a state of open anarchy and forbidden to attempt its cure." In concluding, Mt. Alexander dis tinctly hinted that a candidate might yet be entered against Mr. Slaton and Mr. Hall in the governorship race. In this connection, he said; “Let the People Decide By Officers They Choose.’’ "The courts do not enforce the law. The governor says that he can not and that the legislature will not. The peo ple can speak on August 21. They are the masters of us all. It may- come that sooner nr later we must appeal to them to change their jtidges, hut a more Im mediate and desirable appeal might be made next month in the selection of legislators and a governor freshly in- EDITION 2 CENTS EVERYWHERE Y RE NO structed as to the sovereign will and altogether in harmony with it. what soever It may be. If the people want liquor sold in Georgia either by law or in defiance of law, let them choose a governor and legislators who so think. If they want law enforced and its pow er strengthened, let them say so by the men they choose. Paraphrasing the last counsel of a great patriot to his people, I say to the people of Georgia. .‘lf it seem evil unto you to obey law. choose you this day, but as for me and my’ house, we stand for the law and will serve the honor of the state.’ ” Substitute Bill Includes Amendments. Mr. Alexander, of DeKalb, and Mr. Tippins, of Appling, this morning in troducerr a substitute for the original Tippins bill, which is generally accept, ed to be the hill that the Tippins bill advocates will undertake to pass, which provides all the amendments to the prohiibtlon law contained in the original Tippins bill, with an addi tional and specific prohibition of locker clubs. This is the law that the house will be asked to pass in lieu of the original Tippins bill, and was introduced just before Mr. Alexander commenced his concluding argument. Mr. Alexander was followed by Rep resentative Joe Hill Hall, of Bibb, who spoke against the Tippins bill. Mr. Hall severely' criticised Mr. Alexander's speech and said it was such a speech as had never been delivered in a Georgia legislature, and that it ■completely admitted all the criticism he or any one might advance against the bill. “Unfair to Governor," Says Joe Hill Hall. "The gentleman from DeKalb," said Mr. Hall, “says that because of the present prohibition iaw we are living in a state of anarchy, and he seeks un fairly’ and unjustly to saddle responsi bility for this upon the governor. "That.” continued the gentleman from Bibb.” is. unfair to the governor. The present governor was elected on a distinct statement that he would veto any proposed change in the present prohibition law, unless it proposed a referendum to the people. Why should the gentleman from DeKalb arraign the governor for saying now’ that he will do what he said he would do in the plat form upon which he was elected? “if we are living under a state of an archy under the present prohibition law. as the gentleman from DeKalb says, for God’s sake join me in voting to repeal it. "The gentleman Is mistaken in saying that the governor's threat to veto cov ers, mv proposed substitute. It does not. for my bill carries a distinct pro vision for its referendum to the peo ple.” Denies Hostility To Prohibition Law. Mr. Hall distinctly denied hostility to the present prohibition law. wherever it worked, but he favored, and his bill sought tn provide, relief whee it never has worked and where public sentiment not only’ Is not be hind it, but positively opposed to It. "Taws must be supported by public sentiment or they are worse than use less," said Mr. Hall. "I have always stood on this question free of influ ence and independent. Let’s amend this law sensibly, or leave it alone. Let’s enact my substitute which holds al! that is good in the prohibition law, and gives relief where it is needed and .should be extended." Mr. Massengale, of Warren, followed Mr Hall, in vigorous support of the Tippins bill. Mr. Massengale deliv ered a typical temperance oration and addressed himself very briefly to th., merits of the measure. Mr. Adams, of Hall, urged that his amendment providing for a referen dum be adopted, declaring that a vote for the hill without the amendment was a vote against the bill for the gov ernor will veto it without the amend ment and the nouse will not pass It over his veto. Mr. Darsey, of Spalding, advocated the passage of the bill in a ten min ues speech, characterized by much eitu
