(BUSINESS MAN TO

A majority of the city council has
amended the request, to the general as
sembly for authority to reorganize At
lanta's street improvement system, ask
ing that the charter provisimt requiring
the head of the construction department
to be an engineer of ten years' experi
ence be repealed.
The amendments, asked as a result of
The Georgian's campaign for better
streets, were put through the council in
such a hurry a week ago that the resolu
tions did not give as full authority for
reorganization as the council desired. A
majority of the council, however, has
signed a request to the legislature asking
that the proper changes be made. The
committee on municipalities of the house
of representatives will give a final hear
ing on the amendments this afternoon.
Their passage Is assured
Members of Hie council insisted on this
latest amendment for the reason that
they believe a business man could better
fill the place of head of the construction
department than an engineer. The idea
of a majority of the members of the
< oun< II seems to be to divide the present
chief of construction department into a
construction department and an engi
neering ilepartment, with a business man
as the head of the construction depart
ment.

East Lake Club Puts
Ban on ‘Turkey Trot* •
And‘Bear* Rag Dances
Waltz and Two-Step Only Num
bers to Appear On Week-
End Party Programs.
The East Lake Country club has barred
the turkey trot, the grizzly bear and all
similar spectacular dances at its week
end parties. The action requiring the
members to confine their dances to the
old-time waltz and two-step was taken
■ several days ago by the house committee
and enforced for the first time Saturday
' night.
Everybody was not doing it, but sev-
■ eral of the young people had become
adepts. When one particular couple
danced the "trot” Saturday night many
i of the others stopped to watch them. A
member of the house committee warned
' the young man that he would he fined if
1 he danced the turkey trot again Bui he
had an engagement for a turkey trot the
next dance and in his gallantry he danced
it, resigned to the tine, rather than break
, the engagement with the young woman.
It was the lust turkey trot at East
Lake.
MU SMILES IS HIS
WITNESSES TESTIFY
In a court room so .jammed with a crowd that officers had to fight
back outsiders who sought admittance, in an atmosphere so close that
men became nauseated and the woman around whom the whole ease
centered almost fainted under stress of excitement and was only re
stored by an injection of strychnine, the trial of Mrs. Daisy Opie
I ’ w ■ 1
charged with shooting Iht husband, Eugene IL (trace, with
intent to commit murder, was begun today. A jury was chosen and
the first witnesses began the graphic story of the shooting.
The scene was the most dramatic, as the ease is lhe most peculiar,
s in the annals of the Fulton county courts. For the man whom the
woman is accused of shooting lay on a cot within the court room, as
i he had sworn he would do, unable to raise his head from his pillow.
Grace Smiles as He Lies on Cot
His voice was stilled by flu l ruling of the supreme court that a
husband can not testify against his wife, just as his limbs were para
lyzed by lhe bullet which had laid him low. But he lay there and
lit 1 was put on a stretcher and carried to and from the train by members of the Elks. The
picture was taken as he was lifted from Ihe t rain. Before the camera snapped Grace hid his face.
