Y ' M. C. A., in winning the 1 <*l metre fins last Sunday, when be made several false starts in order to wear down his foreign opponents. According to in- Olympic rules no penalties are attach ed' to false starts. Sweden originated the idea of drawing up a new code of rules and a majority of the other na tions fell in line without delay. The new bodv would probably take the form of an international legislature and will supplant the authority of the original Olympic committee in large measure. It would be a court of last resort for the settlement of disputes as well as a law-making body.

An unromantic father, a busy tele graph Instrument and the law, as rep resented by an Atlanta detective, this afternoon put an abrupt ending to the two weeks old romance of Ruth Bobe, a pretty sixteen-year-old girl, who ran away from her home in Mobile to mar ry a vaudeville performer, M. H. Avery. Avery' has not yet shown up. The girl said lie was In Birmingham. Just two weeks ago Ruth saw Avery’, and her heart did a flip-flap. It wag in a Mobile theater. Although stage folk were, not regarded so highly by the folks at home, she pulled a few strings, set her friends to work and me’ the actor man. She was his and he was hers in the first Inning; so they straightway decided to get married. Gulf climates not being partial to ro mances. he advised her to meet him In Atlanta. He then went on to Birming ham. In accordance with instructions, she left Mobile. Her father, J. W. Bailey, a business man of Mobile, learned of it shortly and placed the police on her frail. An unremitting search of several Southern cities resulted In bringing Ruth to light in a boarding house at 64 F'rtrmwalt street. She had original ly been a guest at the Finley hotel. The management there was responsible for her capture. Ruth was highly dismayed when cap tured. but even the ruthless law couldn’t put a crimp In the untram meled love she has for the actor man. "Father's hurting no one but him self." she said. "I am going to marry the man 1 love despite brass buttons and parental objections." And then she smiled charmingly at everybody, including Detectives Hewell and Hollingsworth, who arrested her. TESTIMONY BEGUN IN MRS. MORROW’S TRIAL EOR KILLING HUSBAND CHICAGO. July 12.

Council to Move For Immediate Improvement of Thorough fares—Conference Called. Aroused by The Georgian's publica tion of the terrible condition of At lanta's streets, many members of coun cil declared today that they were ready to bring about sweeping reforms. A number are urging that an infor mal conference be called at once that there may be united action. Though some stated privately that the chief of construction department is far be hind with its work and needs reorgan izing, they were not willing to be quot ed. But others are willing to unite and make a fight in the open Several members said today a reso lution would be Introduced at the meet ing of council Monday asking for a charter amendment which would sep arate the chief of construction de partment into an engineering depart ment and a construction department. This would revert to the system sim ilar to that which war abolished two years ago. A large number of the members of council now declare that the consoli dation of the two departments was a mistake. It makes one department too big. they assert, the chief of construc tion department now being almost as large as all the other departments com bined Unless a change in plan Is made be fore the meeting of council Monday and some other plan agreed upon, it now seems certain this amendment will be adopted and a vigorous effort made to get it passed at this session of the legislature. A number of other plans have been suggested for the reorganization of the system of street improvements. Offi cials generally admit that there are faults in council's system of appor tionments of money and the selection of points to he improved. An informal conference Is being urged. \mong the propositions ad vanced is an administrative board of public works, similar to the board of education and water board and the other city boards. Others want author ity to do more of the work by con tract Now the pavement of sidewalk and smooth pavements is practically the only work done by contract. Mayor Winn today vetoed a resolu tion of council authorizing the chief of construction to employ more free labor for certain street work. He said he was not opposed to the plan, hut as the work to be done and the source of the funds were not specified, he was forced to veto the resolution. However, there Is no doubt that a resolution, which is technically correct, will be presented to council Monday authorizing more free labor, and it will be passed. In the ordinance committee recently a charter amendment was drafted which, though general on its face, gave council the authority to retire R. M. Clayton. chief of construction, on a pension of SIOO per month. Under the leadership of Harvey Hatcher, chair man of tile streets committee of coun cil, the group of officials most directly in control of the construction depart ment. this resolution was tabled by a majority of one vote. There is talk to. day that it will be revived. Captain Clayton is elected by the people and so far as the administra tion of his department is concerned he is independent of council. He is at Asheville. N. C., now recuperating from a recent illness, and so has had no op portunity to defend his department. Mayor Minn has appealed to the county commissioners for a squad of convicts to aid In repairing damages caused by the rain. The commission ers are also handicapped by bad washes it) the county roads and were unable to give this aid at present. Chaotic System | Blamed for Condition I c . I Standing out today a’ the great - 'u ■ for complaint.- <hout AH ant a street* i.- the lack of system in im p:ovem»nt wo-k a* »aVn up by the been authorized by council. Big as Atlanta, is. with its millions for expenditure on improvements, the system of making better streets is about he same that it was when the city was the village of Marthasville. There is not a man in the city, hall who can tell when an improvement will begin, though the funds for it are already pro vided. Any councilman will explain that the hardest part of getting an improvement for his ward is after council has au thorized It. The construction depart ment always has so much work out lined by council that it is impossible to do it all within anything like the time expected. To get an improvement start ed always means days and days of work with the streets committee of council and the chief of construction by the councilmen and citizens inter ested. The work .that impresses the officials as the. most _ important is be gun first. I Can't Plan Ahead, This mass of work always ahead of the. construction department has de veloped another awkward situation The city engineers are never able to plan ahead. They are so constantly urged to do this or that work that it is more than the department can do to live up to the plans of council. With each councilman pulling for his par ticular section, every piece’ of work passed up Is always considered indi vidually with little regard to the gen eral development of the city. The greatest amount of work now planned is In the new and undevelop ed sections. Hove also the most com plaint. A great amount of this work WARNING! LAST CALL!!

M. has been provided for by council. The construction department has done the grading for much of it. The heavy rains have come along and washed dozens of such streets into terrible condi tions. The city convicts have been kept busy making repairs. But few streets have been completed so that they can withstand the rains. It is estimated that eight miles of sidewalk curbing has been put down ori streets this year where the side walks have not been graded for pave ment. With curbing in this condition the rains have washed much of it away. DRIVER ATTACKS MAN WHO TRIED TO STOP CRUELTY TO ANIMAL W. T. Winn, chief carpenter for the cits' public works departrhent and fa ther of County Commissioner Thomas Winn, today exhibited to Recorder Broyles a badly discolored eye and bruised face, the result of his efforts yesterday afternoon to Save a mule from being beaten brutally. When Mr. Winn remonstrated witli J. R. Davis, driver of a public works wagon, and advised him to treat the mule more humanely, Davis struck Mr. Winn in the face, smashing his glasses and al most knocking him from the wagon. The two were in the wagon and were coming into the city along Bellwood avenue at the time of the trouble. Judge Broyles reprimanded Davis for striking Mr. Winn, who is a much older man than the assailant, and imposed A tine of $10.75.
