Senate Factional Fight. 1
Factional politics threatened to figure
prominently as the senate resumed its
sessions today.
The Sheppard resolution requesting
Governor Brown to return Hoke Smith's
unconfirmed appointments fixed on
• pedal order last week took up the
early hours of today's session.
As had been anticipated the resolu
tion furnished the first real struggle in
the senate. Both the Brown majority
and.the Smith minority let it be known
early that this political question which
had absorbed the senate for SO days
last year was now to be cleared.
Should Senator Sheppard be success
ful in passing his resolution it is ex
tremely doubtful if Governor Brown
will send the list of Smith appoint
ments to the senate. However. Brown
adherents in the senate are confidently
predicting the defeat of the resolution.
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

Book Trust Charges and Attack
on Secretary of Association
Foreshadow Battle.
■ L ., ti ,; ■»<’,..
CHICAGO, July 9.—The- fight over
the presidency of the National Edu
cational association has reached the
dark horse stage. With two candi
dates in the field for the office and with
feeling so bitter that the other work
of the convention has ben overshadow
ed talk of a new candidate intended to
'harmonize" the various sections of
the association has been launched.
Charges of book trust coercion and
attacks on Secretary Irwin Shepard
have thrown the convention into an up
roar.
The book trust charges were hinted
in connection with an attempt to swing
Mrs. Ella Flagg Young and the Chi
cago teachers into line for Miss Grace
C Strachan, of New York. The only
fact brought out to support the allega
tion that outside Influences were being
brought into the fight was the fact that
Miss Strachan brought a letter to May
or Harrison from Mayor Gaynor. Ac
cording to the New York candidate.,
herself, this was merely a letter of in
troduction.
The tight has harked back to the
Boston meeting of the association when
Mrs., Ella Flagg Young was elected
president
The Chicago Teachers association de
manded an explanation of Secretary
Shepard of statements made in an al
leged interview given by E E. Scrib
ner, of Michigan, printed in a San
Francisco paper at the time of the con
vention there. The article asserted
that members of the Chicago Teachers
association went to the secretary in
Boston to buy SI,OOO worth of active
membership badges.

Sergeant Delays Start to An

Just as four companies of the Seven

this morning for the Anniston en
campment, a little white poodle leaped
from the train. The next moment a
brawny sergeant was in pursuit.
“Stop the train,” he bawled. And
the train was stopped. It required
fifteen minutes for him to capture his
pet. the train waiting for him all the

unless “Jenks" had come along the
Anniston maneuvers would never have
seen him.
This soldier wasn't alone in posses

more coaches enlisted men could be
seen with “mascots” in their arms.

Lee Hagan’s Tiny Daughter
Saves Hundreds of Dollars
From Clutches of Thief.
| Four-year-old Julianne Hagan scared
I a burglar away from the guest room
in the home of John Hagan at 265 East
| 'Foqrth street late last night and saved
i hundreds of dollars in money and jew
: els to the guests who were feasting
I'downstairs. The burglar escaped with
a single pocketbook containing about
I 's2o.
Little Julianne. Who is the daughter
I 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 wqre
I holding a big reception to half a hun
i dred guests in the brilliantly lighted
I dining hall below.
| .And while she lay alone in her dark-
I enc-d bed room upon the second floor
she heard a noise at. the window of the
guest room,, w.here all the wraps and
, purses lay just beyond. . Julianne crept
o*at of her bed and toddled into the
j other room, and came upoh the burglar
i bending over a bed on which lay many
hats and cloaks with the women guests’
purses In the pockets.
Robs Woman’s Cloak.
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 I'm going to
call for my auntie.”
Downstairs musiciaps struck up a
waltz and . the guests, singing and
laughing, began dancing.
"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 all
the sudden trouble was about.
Took the Child's Candy.
The burglar took fright at their ap
proach. Cursing 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. Officers 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.

THIS COURT MAKES MEN
Little Gus stood on a chair, but even
then his round black eyes could hardly
peep over the desk, so Judge El'tis had
to bend forward to see the prisoner.
Gus' trousers came up under his arm
pits and were held there by real sus
penders, and he looked like one of
those funny pictures of B’rer Rabbit
fn an Uncle Remqs story. He would
have been "just a baby" had he lived
in the Peachtree section, but they doff
babyhood with their milk bottles where
the streets are the nurseries.
z Gus is Just six. but the probation of
ficer told the court that he had stolen a
mule and wagon; he had been “up"
once before for stealing a, goat, and
such things as carpenters’ tools and
bicycles just wouldn’t stay where they
were put when Gus was near.
“Why, if you’re stealing mules at
your age," observed Judge Ellis, "you'll
be running off with locomotives by the
time you’re in long pants. What made
you take the mule?"
Gus Appreciates Joke.
Gus grinned his appreciation of the
joke. His eyes sparkled in the best of
humor, he dug his toes into the chair,
he waggled almost out of his red sus
penders.
"Wanted to take a ride,” he ex
plained. "I was going to bring him
back.”
Judge Ellis called Gus' father, a,
swarthy foreigner of the type that ar
rives with a bundle of shoe strings and
leaves his children a department store.
“You take the boy home and be good
to him, and persuade him to do right,”
he urged, kindly. “Gus, will you be
good if 1 let you go this time?”
"Yes, sir,” returns Gus. confidently.
‘‘l'll be so good.”
Gus was the first defendant in the
children's court, the new tribunal which
convenes each week to pass upon the
offenses of bad boys and girls. Some
times Judge Ellis hqlds the court, some
times another of the superior Judges,
but always the probation officer sits
beside him to tell the story of the
young defendant’s offense and perhaps
drop a hint as to his record.
Miss Laing Always Busy.
Miss Margaret Laing, the woman pro
bation officer who holds over child sin
ners the power of the high justice, the
middle ahd the low, is busy in the
background counselling parents or pat
ting the curly head of some youngster
who has been given "another chance."
The court room is a study in black and
white and all shades of yellow.
There are two' dozen boys in the
group ushered in by the officer. Half
of them are black, with close cropped
bullet heads and clothing in all stages
of disintegration. They separate in
stinctively from the white boys as they
file into the bar and slide into the rear
seats, where they watch with expres
sionless eyes the progress of the trials.
None of them betrays the slightest in
terest in the proceedings, and even
when one's own case is called he stands
before the judge as unmoved as an In
dian, apparently indifferent as to his
fate.
There Is more Catarrh In this section of
the country- than all other diseases put to

they didn't find the cause of the trouble.
My office hours are 8 to i; Sundays and
holidays 10 to 1. My monographs free by
mail in plain, sealed wrapper.
The white boys are younger, as a
rule, and excited. They watch with
interest to see what becomes of their
companions, speak up quickly when
asked a q’uestion. and are ready to
promise better behavior in the future.
Half of them are apparently “back
ward" boys, their mental and physical
development stunted by adenoids, their
eyes dull, the faces heavy and stolid.
Behind them are their mothers, per
haps their fathers and a neighbor or
two. Sometimes the mother pleads
that her boy "isn’t really bad, just fail
of mischief.”
Mother “Tells on” Boy.
Sometimes she begs that the judge
help her to make her son behave. There
was one woman in the court this week,
a silent witness in the case of her son,
who was accused of stealing a watch.
The boy, a sunburned, sturdy youngster
of fourteen, dented the theft. But the
mother spoke at last.
"He steals everything he gets his
hands on, judge,” she said. “He steals
his own clothes and his sisters' skirts
and waists and pawns or sells therm I
can’t do anything with him. It’s up to
you now.”
The court plainly hesitated. It is
hard to handle a case like that. Then
the judge leaned forward.
“My boy. I’ll have to send you out to
Professor Means' school, the reforma
tory,” he said, kindly. “It’s a hard
place out there. They keep a tight rein
on the boys, and there isn’t much fuh
in living there. But they'll make a bet
ter boy of you if you'll let them. And
If you don't help them and are brought
before me again when you are older—
why, then, my boy, it must be Milledge,
ville for you.”
All Kinds of Offenses.,
There are boys who steal bicycles,
and boys who throw rocks, and boys
who insist on riding the freight trains.
There was one slender little fellow of
thirteen, the type one would expect to
see playing with the girls rather thari
on the baseball field, who had threat
ened to kill a companion and was try
ing to do it when sotnebodj r Interfered.
There are negroes caught shooting
craps in the alleys, others accused of
carrying pistols.
The court hears their stories, weighs
their records and decides whether they
may have another chance or go to the
reformatory. If the y are placed on pro
bation, they must report each week to
the court officer and show that they are
at school or at work, and not in more
trouble. Sometimes they are released
on a mere promise to be good. But
they are no longer locked in jail or sent
out to the stockade to learn new les
sons from those universities of crime.
The state has learned that it is easier
to save a boy than punish a criminal,
and far cheaper in the end.

My personal experience in the use of

warrants me in pronouncing them the most
valuable remedies within my knowledge.
I say this after consulting eminent

publicly recommend these gentle, effective,
and economical remedial agents.

Home Game Is played.
The game is played with two packs
of ordinary cards and two jokers. U
are shuffled together. Ten cards , lrt
dealt to each player, and another
turned up. to form the nucleus of 3
"rubbish heap.” As his turn comes
■each player takes up a card, which may
either be the top card of the "rubbish
heap” or the undisclosed top card ~f
the undealt pack, and in return for f(
places another, face upward, on the
top of the heap.
His object then is to get rid of a il
his cards before anybody else. He can
lay down, face upward, either three or
more cards of a similar value, or a se
quence of three or more cards of the
same suit. He plays then when he
pleases; if he prefers, he may hold up
for a larger coup or to prevent opening
up the field for other players.
The next player does exactly th*
same—with this addition: he may add
a single card, or more, to anybody's
disclosed sequences or sets of a value.
He may even shift the joker to the
other end of a sequence if that suits
him, but the joker can only be shifted
once. And so the game goes on until
one player has no more cards In his
hands, and he is the winner.
Women are exceedingly fond of the
game. It has the engaging element of
chance, tempered with some Judgment,
and is devoid of the finer Intricacies

of their rubber of bridge by this devas
