SENATE IGNORES | ML PROTEST! Defies England and Refuses to Strike From Bilil Right of Free Toll to Americans. WASHINGTON. Aug. 8. —The United States senate defi d Great Britain in her Panama canal protest when, by a vote of 44 to 11, about midnight last night it refused to strike from the Pan ama canal bill the provision exempting! American ships from payment of tolls! for passage through the Panama canal. , The defeat of the Button amendment ' to strike out the discrimination in fa- i ■o'- of American ships was the senate’s answer tn the protest of Great Britain against the legislation. It was this: clause of the bill which led Great I Britain to send a formal protest to the ! state department. The failure of the amendment means i that th- piovision wiU be kept in the bill. The only senators to vote for the j Burton amendment were Brandegee. I Burton, Crane, Pall. Gronna. Lodge, Nelson, Oliver. Penrose, Root and Wet-| more. The vote was reached at 11:30 p. m.. i following eleven and a half hours of i debate. Hoke Smith's Amendment Accepted. The senate also adopted an amend-! ment offered by Senator Hake Smith, i of Georgia, providing that the only ' ships to he exempted from tolls were ! those engaged "exclusively" in the | coastwise trade. This would bar ships | which engage partly in the foreign trade and arb thus brought ih competi tion with foreign ships. He added a provision that such ships when exempted fiom the payment of tolls should relieve the government from all liability for damage to ship, passengers and crew while passing through the canal. As first introduced, the amendmen would have required American coast wise ships to pay the actual expense <»f this passage, but Senator Bristow ob jected that if the cost of operating the ■ anal was $3,500,000 a ycal . and on|y > one ship went through, its tolls would be $3,500,000.

But Happy 500 AT SLATON'S 'CUE Members of the senate and house walked slowly and painfully into their halls today and sank heavily into their seats. They wore an air of placid sat isfaction. of absolute indifference to whether taxes were raised or lowered, whether their pet bills were passed or not. They didn't have spunk enough to rise to a point of order. They wouldn't rise to anything. For it was the day after the barbecue given by John M. Slaton, president of the senate: “Jack” Slaton, lawmaker for 17 years; J. M. Slaton, Atlanta citi zen: but NOT John Marshall Slaton, candidate for governor. That was clear ly understood. It is appalling to reflect upon what a terrific chance Mr Slaton took, now that all is safely over. The average consumption of barbecue per membei was one and three-quarters pounds, with a pound <>f Brunswick stew and a loaf of bread as side fixings. Then there were lemonade and things. Suppose there had been permitted to creep into that barbecue an ingredient not just right; suppose some crafty foeman had inserted into that savory sauce a pow der calculated to produce cholera mor bus, cholera infantum or kindred af fections of the department of the inte rior!

HOUSTON COUNTY SHOWS LOSSES IN TAX RETURNS PERRY. GA., Aug. B.—Tax Receiver J. F. Scarborough has completed the Houston county tax digest for 1912. There are returned for taxation 344.746 acres of land, valued at $1,863,725. being a loss in valuation from 1911 of $18,433. The total value of all property re turned is $3,947,037, this being a loss of $83,610 from 1911. There is returned 2.975 polls, against 3,270 in 1911: and 948 dogs, against 1.245 in 1911. wild cries for doctors and ambulances and favorite pastors! They would have blamed it all on Jack Slaton's barbe cue, and the whole state would have arisen in arms against him. He would have polled only the doctors' votes. But every thing's all right. The feast ers of yesterday have that happiness to day which comes only after a feast where too much was a plenty and no more. They may be lacking in appe tite. but they are full of appreciation. Surely bread and beef was never cast upon the waters with greater certainty of return in the form of ballots. But Mr. Slaton was careful to say he didn't give his 'cue as a campaign prop osition. When Mr. Upshaw, of Doug las county, was lifted to a barrel by his friends to thank the host' for the feast, hij pledged to the candidate the votes of all present. But Mr. Slaton smiling upon the assemblage, absolved them from the promise of their spokes man. and said the pledge needn't count. "I’ve been giving these barbecues for seventeen years," he said. "This will be my last year in the legislature, and Mrs. Slaton said 1 just mustn’t cut it out this summer. If I can feel that you and 1 are just personal friends, Ir respective of politics, the purpose of this barbecue is more than accom plished.” UDI GROSVENOR GDESfi-GYPSIfING Wife of Heir to Duke of West minster Finds Comfort and Rest in Roaming Life.

So the aristocratic gypsy will have new opportunity to indulge her fondness for gathering the legends and folklore of the regions through which she trav els. Naturally musical, possessing .a good voice, Lady Arthur illumines and vivifies gypsy songs which she learned direct I from those to whom they have come down from generations of wandering country men.

Beavers, of the Atlanta police force, leaned back in his ehair and smiled. "It s of course possible for a band of assassins to organize, lay in wait for a man, shoot him and even obtain tem porary freedom, but if you mean to ask whether the series of circumstances which led to the Rosenthal murder ■ ould exist in Atlanta—l say no. em phatically.” The chief gave several reasons. "In the New York department, if my information is correct, the system of protection to criminals which brought about the Rosenthal shooting was able to live on account of three things- a false idea of loyalty which made honest officers protect those who were not honest; secrecy of police records, and the extension of favors to criminals who might be useful. None of these exists or could exist in the Atlanta po lice force." Protection Couldn’t Exist Here. The Rosenthal sensation grows big ger with each passing day. After the gambler's death In front of the Metro pole revelations came thick and fast. Finally Lieutenant Becker, of thq po lice department, was arrested and then came to light the story of the "system’ which had enabled a man only l«o de grees removed from an ordinary police man to build up a graft institution feudal in its power. “I should say." declared Chief Beav ers. "that protection could not exist in Atlanta primarily because there Is nothing to protect. There is no gam bling here to speak of but if there should be and an officer would attempt LAD’S GRANDMOTHER AND MOTHER SEE HIM RUN OVER AND KILLED SAVANNAH. GA.. Aug.
