THIRD DEFEATFOR SEN. HOKE SMITH Senate by 29 to 11 Kills Reso lution Asking Governor to Re turn List of Appointees. p, r t he third and last time'United states Senator Hoke Smith has lost his fi K ht before the Georgia senate for con firmation of his appointments made while governor. The Sheppard resolution requesting Governor Brown to return these ap -ointments to the senate for considera. tjon went down In defeat after a bitter sis it by a vote of 29 to 11 today, when !t was indefinitely postponed. The Smith strength, which amounted t 0 19 votes last year when the senate jailed time after time to confirm the Smith appointments, failed to material ize \t least two senators —Whitehead and Felker —counted as Smith partisans during the last session spok?. against the resolution, and six more flopped when the vote was taken. Factional Fight. Senator Sheppard attempted to keep his fight on a legal basis, and the Brown forces, led by Senator Roberts, adopted this course, but factional poli ties injected into the debate assumed proportions that would not down. if we couldn't get confirmation dur ing the last session when Hoke Smith was governor, how could we expect to it now'.’" said Senator Whitehead, a Smith supporter, in explaining his vote against the resolution. Whitehead's re marks voiced the attitude of mind of the Smith forces. Senator Sheppard practically waged his fight alone. He admitted that his motion to return the appointments to Smith on the last night of last session \ gave him but little fighting chance. \ Senator Felker. also a Smtih follow : er in last year's skirmishes, asserted ■ that Governor Smith had taken the ap pointments with him when he left the executive office. Defends Governor.' 'How can we expect Governor Brown to return us a list of appointments when the list is not in the governor’s office. Senator Sheppard has just ad mitted that all his resolution calls for is the physical paper containing the names of Smith's appointees. Govern, or Brown hasn’t got the it is Impossible for him to return it to us.” Senator Roberts provoked a laugh when he accused Sheppard of having put himself in a hole by securing a re turn of the appointments. "Doesn't Senator Roberts realize that he voted to send them back?” shouted Sheppard, jumping to his feet. “Yes, 1 guess 1 did,” answered Rob erts; “and 1 was glad to do so to get rid of these appointments.” Appointments Smith Made. The appoitments in question which were made by Hoke Smith as ad in terim appointments on August 17. and have never been confirmed by the sen ate. are: S. I'pson, solicitor of city court of Athens.

Georgian's Guests Spend Day inCincinnati SIGHTSEERS A HAPPY FAMILY Niagara Tourists, Traveling on Special Train, on First Lap of Week's* Jaunt. The Georgian's guests, who took ad vantage of the offer to see the wonder ful scenic, beauties of Niagara Fails and visit Cincinnati, Toronto, Buffalo, Detroit and other famous cities, free of post, are now in Cincinnati, making the first stop for a day. They will leave late this afternoon for Toronto, and go from there to the falls. The grim old Union depot was en tirely changed yesterday afternoon when the merry crowd left in the spe cial train. A throng of those who could not go said good-bye at the train, filling the station until the time for the train to leave. * “Oh. yes, I’m going: aren’t you?” and “Yes, I’m going, too!” echoed* among the greetings of’those who recognized friends in the party. From an hour before train time until the big special pulled out there was a constant chatter of voices and the met- ft F 4 f ISO w. Ilk * ® Mil l Wte’ x. \ ..is;? ry laughter of the many women and girls mingled with the crowd. A dem ocratic feeling predominated and friends introduced their friends to oth ers who were on the trip, so that when the loud voice of the train caller an nounced something that sounded like "Na’ga Fall Trip Speciah” most of the party were on speaking terms with all those near them. Many Women in Party. “Oh, I'd just give anything if I'd made arrangements to go, too,” said Miss Fay Watterson, an Atlanta girl, who came to the station to see a party of friends off. “I didn't realize how much fun it would be until I saw the kind of people who are taking the trip.” “Come on and join us in the picture on the step," cried a friend while a pno tographer was waiting to snap a party on the back of the train. 'TH play ‘make-believe’ once more,” she answered, and joined the laughing group entering the Pullman. There were many women and a num ber of children in the party. Many of them from various parts of south Georgia and several from Alabama and Florida, where, they say. The Geor gian's free offer to see Niagara Falls for the trouble of gathering a few sub scriptions for the paper created as much or even more interest than in At lanta and right around this section. Many hurried to obtain their own re served seats in the comfortable Pull mans, and after they had deposited suit cases and bundles they leaned out the ear windows and added their happy voices to the hundreds that were al ready ringing in the station. Wave Good-bye to Friends. When the final signal was given and the train pulled out, there was a -volley of shouts and a caving of handker chiefs that would have put a "Chautau qua greeting" to shame. From every ear window, from the steps and the observation vestibule white pieces of linen In the hands of the women and girls fluttered a good-bye to Atlanta and their many friends here. Then the persons whose lot it was to wish godspeed to the travelers turned and left the station, expressing the wish that the.v had tried to be in the pa rt y "Oh, we ll do it next year, if we have THE ATLANTA GTOBdIAN ANT) NEWS.TUESDAY, JULY 9. 1912 an opportunity," were their last words to each other as they separated at the depot entrance. The party is in charge of J. H. Mc- Farland. representing The Georgian; F. J. Parmelee, of the C., H. & D. rail road, over whose lines the greater part of the trip will be mhde, and R. F. Bishop, Pullman conductor, who has been assigned to numbers of the trips by his compariy and whose record for providing every convenience for his patrons is widely known. - //•'k I \ I F i yi V JWH RADIUM CHANGES GOLOROFGEMS LONDON, July 9. —-Still another won derful property of radium has been placed on record —the property of be ing able to change the colors of pre cious and semi-precious stones. The change is effected merely by continued exposure to radium salts, and the stone which gives the best results are sapphires. • A young German chemist is said to have obtained the most wonderful re sults from this remarkable discovery. He recently purchased several va rieties of sapphires, and placed them in a box with a small quantity of radium bromide. The astonishing transforma tion of the stones after only about one month's exposure to the radium are described as follows: Original Color. New Color. White or uncolored. Topaz like yellow. Blue Cmerald green. Violet Sapphire blue. Wine colored Beautiful ruby. Inferior dark col- ored Deep violet. Scarcely during to credit the evidence of his eyes, the chemist visited a jew eler from whom he bought the stones at an average price of 40 cents per carat, and asked what the jeweler would offer for the "new" parcel. The jeweler, suspecting nothing even after a close examination, offered $lO per carat for all the stones, with the ex ception of the small but exquisite ruby colored one, for which he said he was willing to give no less than SIOO a carat.

JUDGE COVINGTON FOR GOVERNOR, IS ALEXANDER’S HINT The bitter fight over the Tippins bill in the- legislature may force the state wide prohibitionists to bring forth a gubernatorial candidate for the August primary. Hooper Alexander, house leader for the prohibitionists, gave evidence of this today when he more than hinted that Judge W. A. Covington, of Moul trie might make the race. Rumors lhat Judge Covington would put his hat into the ring have been rampant for a week. "It may be possible that the people of Georgia will be forced to elect a gov ernor who will stand squarely upon a prohibition platform,” said Alexander in the course of the debate on the Tip pins measure. Representative Alexander intimated that an effort was being made to get an out-and-out prohibitionist in the governor’s race. Judge Covington is this prohibitionist.

Winds are good or ill, according to the viewpoint of two well-known At lantans today, whose vocations a’re much affected by the weather. The re cent wet weapSer has caused two con flicting opinions. Dr. J. P. Kennedy, city health of ficer and one of the men discussing the weather, said that the heavy rains had brought a blessing to Atlanta by wash ing away all the mosquitoes. While the mosquito season has arrived, the mosquitoes have not. Dr. Kennedy ex plained that the rains washed away the mosquito eggs before they had time to hatch, and that, therefore, contrary to the popular impression, dry and not wet weather added the pests. He add ed. however, that if the rain water col lected in puddles or elsewhere and was allowed to stand mosquitoes would un doubtedly be bred On the other hand, Captain Tom Donaldson, superintendent of construc tion for Fulton county, said this had •been the worst year for construction work during his 6 years of experience. He said that the rains not only prek vented work on many days, but wash ed away all that had been done. “The weather has kept things at a standstill practically all the year," h 0 declared. M ADVISED ED RETURN TO KILTS Englishman Says Modern Attire of Male Sex Has Reached Acme of Ugliness. LONDON, July 9. —Modem fashions were criticised by J. Grant Ramsay in a lecture at the Institute of Hygiene on “Dress and Clothing in Summer.” Men’s attire, he said, had reached the acme of ugliness, and the only ex cuse for It was that It was meant to be useful rather than ornamental. There were indications, however, that a re action toward adornment and color had begun. There were bright blue ties and pale pink socks as well as Ham burg and Tyrolese hats. Even the feather had appeared and although it was a tiny one, no one knew to what length it might grow. Man, however, required a more sci entific garment than that now worn. This might be secured by the adoption of the kilt. They would find it not only an attraction, but the best invest ment they ever had to deal with. Criticising “the mountainous con glomeration of every conceivable form of eccentricity” which women now wear a.s a head dress, he said there might be some advantage In having the sifrishade and hat In partnership, but the weight was often a real danger to health. “If," he said, “such a bur den were placed on the head of the lower animals, it Is not at all improb able that we should soon find some hu mane society taking drastic measures to put a stop to it.” HE’S ANXIOUS TO HANG, BUT LAW JOPPOSES IT AUSTIN, TEX., July 9.—The famous Burrell-Oates case at Dallas ha« been advanced another step toward a final decision. Oates Is the negro who has been pleading in vain for several years to be hanged. He is greatly pleased over the action which the ijtate court of criminal appeals has Just takerf* in affirming the death penalty imposed by the trial court. All that, now'stands be tween Oates and the gallows is the re mote possibility that the court of crim inal appeals may grant the applica tion that is to be made for a rehear ing. Oates is charged with murdering Sol Oronoff, a merchant of Dallas, on-the night of November 30, 1904. He con fessed, but under the law he could not be sentenced unless convicted on trial.

OECLMES NMI BESTJIPLOMAT Keystone Congressman Says Two-Battleship Plan Is the Greatest Peace Argument. By MICHAEL DONOHOE, Congressman From Pennsylvania. WASHINGTON, July 9.—1 am strongly of opinion that the congress of the United States should continue ap propriations for at least two battle ships a year. This has been, a well established policy for some time. I would hate to see it changed. If any nation in the world has need for a great navy it is certainly the United States. This is an aggressive country. It is progressive. Our people are ambitious. There are many rea sons for jealousies among competing countries We never are safe from the danger of international differences. We have an immense eoast exposure, besides a number of insular posses sions to protect. We all hope that oc casion may never arise for the need of a great navy, but the need may, and is apt to arise at any time. The millennium has not yet arrlvied. While all nations are striving for an age of peace, when battleships and big navies may be useless, that time has not yet arrived. We all know that peace may be most effectually secured through the maintenance of adequate military and naval equipment. Danger Lies in Weakness, I can not believe, that the people of the country approve a policy of econ omy that weakens our system of na tional defense and exposes us to the dangers of suicidal unpreparedness for any emergency that might arise. The Democratic party does not believe in such economy. The party is striving to avoid extravagance in the adminis tration of the government, but It does believe in the liberal expenditure of money where wisdom demands it. The Democrats in the bouse of rep resentatives believe In the building of adequate battleships to keep the navy in fit condition for any emergency, but they believe that this appropriation might be saved this year without se rious damage. The majority so decided in caucus. Some of us did not agree with the majority. I do not believe the decision of the majority wise. It lays down a precedent that may.'be dangerous. It establishes a record for economy that may not be good either for the party or. the country. Persuades Where Words Fail. A strong navy promotes peace. It inspires respeot from other nations. It commands recognition. It makes for dignity. The nation that is well equipped for war on land and sea Is safe from International quarrels that can be handled with diplomacy. A big navy is the finest diplomat in the world. It can persuade where words fail. . This country is too progressive and has too many large interests in every corner of the globe to neglect the ma chinery that makes for peace. An ad equate navy Is far more economical than one war. The absence of war is no argument for a reduction in the naval equipment. War debts a-nd war wreckage are harder to pay than the building of warships. Continued peace and the re speot of nations is worth more than adequate naval expenditures. DEATHS AND FUNERALS j Velma Hopkins.

Hooker and others against the executor and heirs of Henry O. Havemeyer. Vice Chancel lor Stevens holds that $10,000,000 worth of stock of the National Sugar Refin ing Company was issued to Havemeyer without consideration. Havemeyer come by this stock when he acquired the stock of the New York Sugar Refining Company, the National Sugar Refining Company and the Mol lenhauer Sugar Refining Company for $8,250,000, and consolidated the com panies Into the National Sugar Refining Company with a capital of $20,000,000 The defendants claimed the acquisi tion of the th-ee companies and the combining of them into one gave them a value far in excess of what was paid for the companies acquired individual ly. The vice chancellor held that, under the circumstances, this added value, if any, could not be capitalized to Havu meyer's benefit. 3
