2 TIPPINS MURE NEARS PASSAGE IN THE HOOSE Randolph Anderson Attacks the Bill. Fighting for a Local Option Substitute. Continued From Page One. tivp art 1s sent to him for approval or ' rejection. The governor has said that he will reject any proposed amendment to tip liquor laws of the state unless it car ries a provision referring it to the peo ple for their consideration and verdict via the ballot box. If the hill goes through without the referendum amendment, therefore, it goes to an almost certain veto, and that many of its friends wish to avoid Women in Attendance To Support Measure. This state of things leaves the fate I of the referendum amendment very i much in doubt, with the chances slight ly against its adoption. All other substitutes and amend- < ments probably will be rejected by the 1 house decisively. The bill will go to a vote some time \ before adjournment today, as It Itas been agreed that it shall bo called as j the previous question immediately aft er debate has been concluded. The public Interest in the Tippins bill is widespread and general. The at tendance upon the sessions of the house yesterday and today has been large This morning the galleries were filled to overflowing, noticeably with many women, members of various temper ance societies and clubs Interested in the pending legislation. At times the galleries have manifest ed by their applause a keen Interest in the proceedings on the floor below, but Invariably they have been called down by the speaker and admonished that, under the rules of the house, applause in the galleries is sternly prohibited, A heavy percentage of the gallery at tehdaVtce isi made up of women. 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 ate are: S. C. Upson, solicitor of city court of Athens. P C King, solicitor of city court of Fort Gaines Joseph E. Pottle, trustee state uni versity. Henry D. McDaniel, trustee state university. S Burkhalter, solicitor county court of Clinch. W. A. Milton, judge city court of Blackshear. S F. Memory, solicitor city court of Blackshear J. H. McGahee, trustee state univer sity. A L.

LEGISLATURE WILL CLEAR REALTY TITLE CLOUDED 30 YEARS After the elapse of SO years the Geor- I gia legislature will officially ratify an action of the late Governor Alfred Col quitt to remove a cloud from the title to property formerly belonging to the state but long since passed to the heirs of the Brown estate The property is the centrally located Decatur street plat, two-thirds of an equity In which was recently bequeathed to Georgia Tech by the late .Julius Brown, brother of the governor. One-third inter est in the property rests with the gov ernor In 1882 Governor Colquitt authorized the sale of the Decatur street lot to Ju lius Brown and the transfer was made Since the bequest to Georgia Tech it has been discovered that the legislature never ratified Governor Colquitt's action Senator Roberts today introduced a resolution asking affirmation.

POODLE HALTS SOLDIER TRAIN Sergeant Delays Start to An niston Camp Until He Cap tures His Pet. Just as four companies of the Seven teenth Infantry were leaving Atlanta 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 w hile. He confided to a bystander that unless “Jenks" had come along the Anniston maneuvers would never have seen him. This soldier wasn't alone in posses sion of pets. Throughout the dozen or more coaches enlisted men could be seen with “mascots” in their arms. Sometimes It was a huge, ugly bull dog, or maybe Just a plain tabby cat Four companies—C, G, E and F— the band, several dozen mules, some few hundred pounds of bacon and a big supply of coffee and other pro visions were wblsked away from the Union station this morning.

W GIRL SHOOS ouoGimms GUESTS OUNCE 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. BRIDE OF FEW MONTHS DIES. CONFERS, GA.. July 9.—Mrs. W. O.

Woman Counsellor of Erring Boys 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 gether, and until the last few years was supposed to be Incurable.

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. know but what he's right.

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 bridge. Old-fashioned card players, robbed of their rubber of bridge by this devas tating new craze, speak of it contempt, uously as “ a sort of glorified "old maid."
