DELAY GRANTED IN
COURT HEARING OF
STILL-BYRD COMBAT
After a sharp discussion between Re
corder Broyles and Frank Hughes, at
torney for Luther Still, president of the
typographical union, the eases against
Still, Charles Byrd. Frank Cohen and
Torn Lyon, growing out of the fight
in the eapitol, were continued to Fri
day at fl o'clock.
Hughes told the recorder that he
must have a continuance because Sen
ator Oliver, a material witness for his
client, is out of the city. Hughes hint
ed incidentally that the recorder has
no jurisdiction, which brought from the
recorder the quick retort that Hughes
had before said tiiat t lie senate had no
juiisdietion in the case. Hughes said
the senate didn't agree with him and
the recorder answered quickly: ''Well.
1 don't agree with you. either.''
Attorney Robert Blackburn, attor
ney for Byrd and hfs friends, said he
was ready for a trial at once, but made
no objection to the continuance.

ND POWER PLANT
WITH MB
Destructor Company Agrees on
Contract With Electricity
Clause Eliminated.
*
Mayor Winn and the finance commit
tee of the council and representatives
of the New York Destructor Company
have agreed upon the terms of the con
tract for a garbage disposal plant, but
all chance of an electric power plant in
conjunction with it had gone glimmer
ing.
As some of the councilmen only voted
to accept the company's bid for a cre
matory plant because it also provided
for an electric power plant, strong op
position to the agreement is certain to
develop in the council.
If we can’t have an electric plant,
why should we pay $276,000 for a gar
bage disposal plant'.”' t'ouncilmen
Charles W. Smith, Orville H. Hall, Ai
dermen John E. McClelland and A. J.
Johnson and others have declared. "We
should build a cheaper garbage plant."
Company to give 5376.G00 Bond.
The agreement was reached last
night, and, if it is approved by th?
council Monday, the Destructor Com
pany will sign up and begin work.
The company will give a bond for $376.-
000, covering the bid for an electric
power plant to be operated by the he,at
from the burning garbage. If the city
has the money to pay for this $102,000
electric plant or can finance the deal,
the company's bond provides that it
shall be built any time within the three
years.
But the Destructor Company was un
able to finance the $376,000 proposition,
and its representatives failed to get it
underwritten so long as It included the
electric power plant feature. The city
is able to pay only $50,000 cash.
The agreement to be recommended to
the council is tha’ the company shall
retain the title to the plant until it is
paid for, and that the city shall have
charge of its operation under the su
pervision of the company.
Demands Title to Property.
The company demanded the title to
the property, rejecting the city’s moral
obligation for the deferred payments,
which it agreed to accept when the
contract was awarded by council more
than a month ago. But the company
refused to sign the contract after it had
been awarded by the council.
The other officials voting for the
proposition were Aidermen Spratling.
Nutting, Ragsdale and Warren and
('•luncilmen Greer and Knight.
Mayor Winn declared that this city
cry of the people for better streets
would be as a gentle zephyr compared
the complaints that would develop if
some system of garbage disposal were
not adopted.

Piedmont Lake Sprite Is Challenged
WATER QUEEN HAS RIVAL
Piedmont park boasts another little
ten-year-old girl who is some swimmer
herself, and who has challenged Jen
nie Perkerson for a swimming contest
of any length, time m- condition. Sh'-
is Virginia Merkel, daughter of R L.
Merker. of 29 Langhorn street, and out
at Piedmont lake she came today in
quiring for "that Jennie Perkerson, the
one the pa pets wrote up so."
Jennie was not present, and her ri
val swam a 25-yard race against time.
She made it in 39 seconds, according
to one of the lifesavers, and that's jus'
a second faster than the record that
Jennie holds. Then little Virginia went
out and did a mile as -asih as if she
was born to the water. She wanted to
show that she was really in earnest and
really could swim.
At the swimming contests held on
July 4. Jennie Perkerson. who is only
ten years old. w<m the "woman's cham
pionship" in every contest she entered
and proved herself the marvel of the
lake. Since then she has been the cen
ter of a throng of admirers whenevr
she has come into the lake, and that's
every day.
Rivals to Race Next Week.
A race between the present holder ot
the title and little Virginia is scheduled
for one day next week, the distance and
manner of swimming to be settled later.
That the contest will be an exciting
one there can be no doubt. Both little
girls are as deadly in earnest as if their
lives depended upon the result of the
race.
A theatrical star suddenly finding
herself no longer the toast of the town
and the pampered of all the company,
her place about, to be given to an un
derstudy. oould he in no more of a
rage of jealousy than is little Miss Per
kerson whenever Virginia's name is
mentioned to her.
Jennie arrived at the lake a few min
utes after Virginia swam her mile, ate!
just at the time when about 2'U> spr i
tators were crowding around and con
gratulating her.
"Who's that'.’" said Jennie, 't'an 'hat

of Crawfordville, is petitioners' attor
ney,
child swim, that little girl?"
Some one told Jennie of what the
other girl hald done, and Jennie rushed
out and challenged her at once to a
contest, dnred her to enter the water
in competition. Captain Schlomberg
and several nf the lifesavers interfered.
Little Virginia had been in the water
for several hours in all and had just
finished a mile swim. The race must
come another day.
Jennie Wants No Delay.
But Jennie could not listen to talk
like that. "You’re just afraid to race
me!" she shouted in childish rage at
her rival.
Then for a moment things took on
the look of the Republican convention
in the heights of Its turmoil.
“I'll pull your haiF.out!" screamed
the titleholder.
Tiny Virginia Merker has lived in
Atlanta about three years. She has
been in swimming about three times in
those three years. Four years ago in
Beverly. 111., she learned to swim. Only
six >ears old at that time, she proved
better than all the other children In a
swimming school organized in het
town. She has not forgotten what she
learned and as she is as strong and
health.'- a child as one can imagine,
she had no trouble in getting right into
swimming form. Iler swimming stroke
is said to be prettier than that of Jen
nie's, and she has plenty of what ex
perts call “swimming form." She was
taught by an expert, while the Perker
son child practically taught herself.
Out at Piedmont nea’ly ever' one
of the attendants and the crowd of sev
eral hundred people who go in daily
are thoroughly excited over the out
come of the eorHest.
How long the firs! race will be has
not yet been decided. Roth the chil
dren are fast swimmers and both are
remarkable for their endurance, and it
Is probable that several races for the
various lengths will be pulled off from
tinje to ' ime.

GEORGIA SCHOOL
OF TECHNOLOGY
== Its Aims and Standards -
The aim of the college is to make men. Not
everv college succeeds, .judging them strictly by
their output. A college graduate should be useful.
He should, of course, be self-sustaining and in
fluential in his community; in fact, PROGRES
SIVE. If the college man does not make good, it is
partly his own fault, \ ERY OFI EN IHA I OF
THE INSTITUTION THAT GRADUATED HIM.
(]i It is a well known fact that Ter-b graduates
succeed. There are one or two good reasons for
this. The instruction at 'l’ech is very thorough. It
is said bv those who know that a student can t slip
through ’l ech and get a diploma. He must be thor
ough. HK MUST KNOW WHAT TIE KNOWS.
Then. too. the course of study at Tech is exceed
ingly practical. 'There a man’s hand is trained
along with his brain. From the handling of pig
iron in the foundry on up to the delicate work of
the laboratory, the Tech man must daily apply his
theories. He must learn to do things. Only this
kind of education counts nowadays.
€[] ‘''There is no reason." said a leading teacher
of the state recently, “why every Georgia boy who
wishes a technical training should not get to Geor
gia Tech, since each county is entitled to fifteen free
scholarships. In addition to these, there are sev
eral scholarships which carry a cash consideration
of from $125.00 to $200.00 annually, open to young
men of merit and ability."
