HALT DALLYING
Custom of Extending the Daily
Sessions Blocked—Calendar
To Be Followed Closely.
The rules committee of the house,
anticipating tin- end of the present
legislative session, and having in mind
the crowded status of the calendar and
the press for time, took a firm bold on
things in the house today, and blocked
the custom of extending for specific
purposes, dally sessions of the house
for from ten to forty-five minutes.
The rules committee is determined
to hold the house rigidly to the calen
dar from tills time forward, and to fix
no more special orders or agree to any
thing outside the order framed for daily
procedu re.
Mr Hardeman, vice chairman of the
rules committee. explained to the
house that intelligent dispatch of busi
ness could bo achieved only through
sticking to the calendar, which, lie as
sured the house, should be framed in
the greatest fairness to all.
Vehement protest was made against
the "iron band” of the rules committee
by various members, but without avail.
(>n a vote to sustain the committee's
objection to depart from the calendar
by extending dally sesions for specific
purposes, the committee was sustained
by a vote of 81 to 36.

Frank Gilreath, Jr., is the youngest Georgia relative of
Woodrow Wilson, and, like him, is depending on a donkey to
carry him where he wants to go. Frank is 8 years old today.
Frank Gilreath, Jr., Is Youngest
Relative of Next President
in the South.
•Little Frank Gilreath. Jr., who lives
In Inman Park, came home today with
a copy of this photograph in his hand
and sat down and wrote a letter to
Woodrow Wilson op the back of the
picture. This Is what he said.
Mr. Woodrow Wilson: Dear Sir
I hope the donkey the pictures in
the pupers show you riding on
will carry you to the white house
as easy as mine carries me to
school.
Hoping you are the same, yours
truly, ’•
• FRANK GILREATH, JUNIOR.
Then Frank went in and put on his
other clothes, for it’s his birthday and
he's giving a party to celebrate - ills be
ing eight years old.
Frank had an especial interest in
writing to the nominee, for ho is
Woodrow Wilson's youngest relative in
tile South. Mrs. Frank Gilreath, his
mother, is a first Cousin to Mrs. Wil
son, and the two were great girlhood
friends.
It may be that Frank, Jr., lias his
eye on a government job after next
March, or maybe he thinks perhaps
President Wilson will lend him that
gold-mounted season baseball pass the
president receives every year.
Anyway, lie wrote the letter and he
will watt for tlie postman's whistle
every day until the answer conies.
MAYOR WOULD BAR
SANITARIUMS FROM
RESIDENCE SECTIONS
Although a large sign announces the
opening of a sanitarium to treat in
ebilates'and drug victims within halt' a
block of the residences of Mayor Winn
and Alderman John E. McClelland, tu
Washington street, that sanitarium will
never care for any patients. The city
officials declared today they would pre
vent its opening
Mayor Winn said that a residential
section was no place for such institu
tions and that lie always would use his
influence to prevent them. He said
promoters of such enterprises in At
lanta should realize that they must go
to other than home centers to estab
lish their hospitals.
As permits from the mayor and
council are requiiyd for such hospitals,
his wishes in the matter probably wi)l
tie carried out.

FIFTH IS FRIISED i
BT ITS OFFICERS
Colonel Pomeroy Outlines Three
Aims of Atlanta’s State Mili
tia Organization.
Home from a week's encampment at
Anniston, Ala., members of the Fifth
regiment of Georgia militia are today
enjoying the heat rest of their lives, for
they have beeti through strenuous ma
neuvers.
Colonel E. E. Pomeroy said today that
the boys did tine. He outlined to The
Georgian these aims of the Fifth regi
ment. which, lie said, were being rapid
ly attained:
To be prepared to do riot duty in the
state on the shortest possible notice.
To be able to answer the first call
to arms in case of war.
To maintain a high standing in the
community so that the best young men
will enlist and tile public will always
give hearty support.
Colonel Pomeroy said the tendency in i
America was to train as many men in I
the military as possible. In Germany
and other European countries every i
male citizen is required to serve «t cer- I
' tain period. The American system is i
different, but Colonel Pomeroy said that !
thousands of men were being capably
trained through the state militia.
He said tile most notable fact about j
the camp was its absolute cleanliness, j
Not even cigar stumps or match stubs I
were thrown upon the ground. Should !
this country have another war. the I
colonel said there would be no such !
condition as during lite Spanish-Amer- ,
ican war. when more men died from ■
disease than bullets.
