The Atlanta Georgian Read For Profit —GEORGIAN WANT ADS—Use For Results (BUSINESS MAN TO BUILD STREETS 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the charter provisimt requiring the head of the construction department to be an engineer of ten years' experi ence be repealed.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. ATLANTA, GA., MONDAY, JULY 29, 1912. 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. THE GRACE CASE JURY JOI IN H. TODD, trader, 262 Greenwood Ave. J. E. EBERHARDT, real estate man. J. R. BRYANT, a farmer, of Bryants District. E.
