The examination made In Dr Derr’s office showed that the bullet has not moved the trad of an inch from its lodgment when the firsl X-rays were taken, a week after the shooting, it showed more—that Grace is getting power back into his paralyzed legs, for Dr. Derr tested him by the sharp blow just below the knee cap and proved by the old pare«is test that the muscles and the nerves of the helpless legs are beginning to come to life again. Dr. Derr said, after the long examina tion. that an opt ration was under con sideration, and Grace himself Ita.s de manded that the bluelt he taken out before he leaves Atlanta. Grace came from Newnan on the 10:30 train this morning. He rode in the baggage car. as he has ridden on nil his trips since the shooting in Eleventh street, and he was borne off the train into one of Patterson's auto ambulances by his stepfather. Mr. Hill, and E. W. Hubbard, a liveryman of Newnan, and his negro valet, Rob. The trip had been made in the utmost secrecy, and Grace was borne from the baggage car to the ambulance without the customary newspaper concealing his face, but with a brown checked golfing cap upon his head. He lay stretched a« helplessly as before upon the litter, but his face seemed fuller than when he left At lanta before, and he smiled freely, though he would say nothing. Grace Demands Operation. The ambulance whisked him quickly to Dr. Derr s offices, and ho was borne up the three flights of narrow steps to the office by his valet and two other men. Tlte tests began immediately. The photographs show red no festering of the wound, but that ttie bullet had made a sac about itself in which it might lie to the end of Graces natural life with eighty chances out of a hundred that it would not infect him fatally On the other hand there is the doubt as to whether the removal of the bullet will completely restore his strength to the lower bodi and limbs, or whether If left where it is. he might not still re gain their use Epon the final consultation of the doctors at the sanitarium rests the de cision as to the operation. Grace de clares that he will force them to take the bullet out. ELEVATOR MIRRORS ARE OUT AS AID OF FLIRTS PHILADELPHIA, Aug B—Mirrors in Philadelphia elevators are doomed.

AUGUST R. IM2 $1,000,000 Building Will Chase Rats HEALY IS READY TO BUILD SI J I I 1 I William T Healy. Atlanta millionaire, snapped by the cam era man as he was superintending work at the enormous hole which is soon to be replaced by a giant skyscraper if he car ries out his plans. Mr. Healy wouldn’t pose, and this is believed to be the first time a picture ol the man known to virtually every Atlantan, by sight or reputation, has appeared m print. Will Erect Monumental Build ing With Own Cash—Tells Some Graphic Rat Stories. William 'l' He.tly. Atlanta multi millionaire, told a' Georgian repotter today that he was ready to begin work on a giant skyscraper on his lot bound ed by Forsyth. Poplar. Broad and Wal ton streets. It is to be the largest of fice building in Atlanta, covering an entire block, sixteen stories high and costing more than $1,000,000 when finally completed. Hut Its size and cost will not be its most Individual features. The reasons it Is to be built and the methods of its construction will always mark it as distinct (rom other structures when it Is surrounded by loftier buildings Mr. Healy, who through the years has diligently saved the income from his vast properties until it lias reached a great sum, is tired—not literally, of course—of his money. The gold ac quired through economy and self-denial has failed to satisfy. He is going to spend it for a monumental building. And It is said that he will finance the building of this great structure with out borrowing a penny—a feat which has hardlk been equaled before in this country. Began With One Mule. The methods of construction are en tirely original—Mr. Healy a own. He begun excavations for the f oundations three years ago with one negro and a mule. As the hole grew deeper people began to ask what it was for. But Mr. Healy kept his counsel and the curious wondered more and more from day to dny. The original hole, on the Forsyth street side of the lot. was made deep and round and narrow at first. It looked like a giant well. But the negro and the mule kept at work for many days until the hole finally took the shape of an execavation for a building Then Mr. Healy announced that he was go ing to erect an office building, some day. Then he quickened his pace. More negroes and more mules were put to work. Excavations for half of the block have been completed. Archi tects Morgan & Dillon have finished the plans. He Sees the Fine Points. Mr. Healy has outlined his ideas. He will begin work on one-half of the building at once. When the leases on the Broad street side buildings have expired he will tear them down and build another half of the skyscraper. The upper floors will be for offices and store rooms will front on all four streets. Mr. Healy has personally supervised • the tearing down of all the old build ings and the excavations. Every day he can be found watching the work with a keen eye. His methods are odd and original; but he sees fine points that many another would miss. A negro laborer was pitching down loose bricks from one of the low build ings which is being demolished. An other negro stood on the ground and stacked them up. "Re careful. Williford," shouted Mr Heal*. "Don't hit those brick against one another. You’ll break them." And Williford was more careful. A Tale of a Rat Battle. ,The hole is large and empty. < x< ept for piles of brick hats and old cobble stones. In the quiet hours of the day tremendous rats can be seen to steal out to find food where the mules have been ted. Several days ago a number of them were noticed divided into two droves. Opposing loaders were in the vanguard. Suddenly the leaders clashed in battle while the others stood by. One was victorious. He took pos session of the food with his band while the vanquished leader with his band withdrew. Mr. Healy told a group this story the other day . He said it was true, because his foreman had told him. and the fore man was a truthful man. A number of rats were eating where the horses had fed.” he related. "The foreman looked up and saw a sparrow hawk on the weather vane of the city hall. Suddenly the foreman saw the hawk shoot toward the rats like an ario". He came from his perch, a block and a half away, as straight as a shot, and grabbed a rat from the ground without an instant’s pause. "The hawk Hew up for a height of about 30 feet, but stopped suddenly in the air and screamed. The rat was dropped. It had bitten its freedom from the hawk—had 'anguished the mighty bird. "The rat fell heavily to the ground and rolled over. Then It crawled slow ly away. The foreman was merciful, after witnessing such a game fight, and he let it escape.” But this playground for rats will soon be no more. Mr. Healy said prac tically all the details for beginning work on the new bulldii were com plete.. It "'ll not be long before the old buildings on Broad street will be torn down. Then one of the most mag nificent developments in Atlanta will be a reality. And it is safe to say that Mr. Healy "ill be present every day to watch with his keen eye the progress of the work. He is worth millions and could spend his time in Europe or touring unknown seas in a private yacht. But his de sires are different and he lives deter minedly his own way. WATTSAND CABAN ISS IN A SHARP CLASH ON FLOOR OF THE HOUSE The house of representatives was the scene of a sharp attack on Represen tative Emmett t'abaniss, of Oglethorpe county, this afternoon, when Repre sentative J. N. Watts, of Randolph county, charged that Mr. ('abanlss was concealing a certain portion of corre spondence then being read by the Ogle thorpe member. Mr. t'abaniss. rising to a point of personal privilege, charged in his turn that tlie attack on his fairness had not been made "by the rank and file of the members, but by persons interested in fertilizer manufacture or in the employ of such manufacturers." His remark's caused a stir which was only silenced by the speaker's gavel. The matter came up when the bill by- Mr. t'abaniss. prohibiting the use of deleterious fillers" in fertilizers, was on its passage There was a strong fight on tiie bill, its opponents dt siring to permit the use of certain fillers, "hich, they claimed, were not adulter ants.

SENATE PASSES BANKING BILL Section Prohibiting Loans of More Than 30 Per Cent of Capital Killed. Th? general banking bill, which ere lates a new code of laws'for the banks of Georgia, passed the senate by a vote of 30 to 3 today. A mass of amendments to (he measure, some em bodying the ideas of the inter-session commission and some representing the pet hobbles of members of the upper house, were attached to the bill. The section prohibiting a bank from lending more than 30 per cent of its capital stock to a single borrower was stricken after a heated debate. Sena tors opposing the measure used the ef fective argument that this provision i would favor the big city banks over the country institutions. I Tlie measure, in its present shape, i has the indorsement of the Georgia I Bankers association and is said to in- I elude many of the best features of the I banking laws of various states. It | creates a department of banks which is to have sole charge of the administra tion of the state's financial institu tions heretofore under the jurisdiction I of the treasury department. Squirrel shooting, temporarily sus pended by the passage of the game bill, will be resumed in White, Union and Habersham counties if Senator Ed wards' measure, passed by the senate today, meets with success in the house. The game law lid has been lifted on squirrel in the three mountain counties because the animals are destroying crops. Senator Williams provoked a gen eral discussion on squirrel hunting when he attempted to amend the bill allowing squirrel shooting only when the animals were actually destroying crops. “Suppose you go into a field and the squirrel runs to a fence. Under your amendment you violate the game law if you shoot," asserted Senator Shingler. It was agreed that the amendment was too technical to give the north Georgia farmers the relief desired. It was lost by a vote of 39 to 4. FAST TRAIN JUMPS TRACK INTO SWAMP; 4 KILLED, 100 HURT BOSTON, Aug.

BANK EXPECTED TO USE GROUND FLOOR OF HURT BUILDING One of the national banks of Atlanta probably will occupy the ground floor of the new $200,000 seventeen-story building which Joel Hurt is to erect. Much discussion as to which bank it will be has been aroused.

A feature of its construction will be metal doors opening both into corridors and com municating between rooms in a suite.

Roosevelt Greets Old Wolf Hunter CHICAGO, Aug. 8. —Up early, re freshed with a few hours sleep after his strenuous day, which did not end until after midnight, Colonel Theodore Roosevelt plunged into political confer ences today. The first of the colonel’s callers today was George W. Perkins. James R. Garfield, formerly member of the tennis cabinet, was another ear ly caller. Colonel Roosevelt breakfasted with Mrs. Roosevelt. As soon as the morn ing meal was over he was ready for the political confabs. Governor Hiram Johnson of California, his running mate, yvas one of the first who visited the colonel's apartment. Later both men greeted the members of the na tional committee and the notification committee that had conducted them to the stage at the Coliseum. As the colonel yvas passing through the hall way he was greeted by a man who evi dently had waited to see him pass. After the colonel had gone by, he stopped, turned back and asked: "Is that Sam Burnett?” The man nodded. “Why, you old yvolf hunter; how are you?” cried Roosevelt. The man was S. B. Burnett, of Fort Worth. Texas. "Come right in; I want to talk to you,” said Roosevelt, and he took Bur nett along to attend the meeting of the committee. Jane Addams Tells Why She Is for T. R. CHICAGO, Aug B. Miss Jane Ad dams. famous for her work at Hull House, today in a statement gave her reasons for supporting the Progressive party. Miss' Addams was a delegate at the national convention. She said: “There are two principal reasons, for my support of the Progressive party. The first is that the platform of the Progressive party contains many planks and advocates many reforms for which I have been working for years. “The second reason is that the party comes out unequivocally for woman’s suffrage. A woman’s suffrage plank was presented to both the old parties and was refused. I appeared before the present congress of the United States and asked for woman's suffrage. It was refused. Forty-two times the congress has been asked to grant women the right of ballot, and Just as many times has it refused. “Now comes this party with a suf frage plank in its platform. These are my main reasons for the action I have taken." To Open Taft Rooms in Chicago CHICAGO. Aug. B.—David W.

T.fi.PLANSTB SWEEP SOUTH Plans Early Whirlwind Cam paign to Break the “Solid South.” CHICAGO. Aug. B.—Theodore Roose velt will invade the South and West. Hiram W. Johnson will swing through the East. Every state in the Union is to be visited, some of them by both candidates. This is the tentative plan of cam paign of the Progressive party as out lined today by the candidates them selves, the national committee and the leaders of the movement in a series of conferences that began when the first national convention closed last night otnd that were continued throughout this morning. The convention adjourned last night after naming Roosevelt and Johnson, governor of California, to head the ticket, and adopting the most radical platform ever approved by a national political convention. The campaign is to start at once. The work of organization will begin as soon as the work can be undertaken. Offices will be opened in New York and Chi cago for the general direction of af fairs, and other headquarters will be established where they may seem most needed. Headquarters for South To Be Opened. At the very outset it is expected that such haedquarters will be established in one of the cities of the ■ Southern states. For the first time in years an actual contest over the presidential election is to be waged below the Ma son and Dixon line, and a hot and strenuous campaign begun to break the "Solid South." Plans as now .outlined will catapuit the colonel himself into the Southern territory at the very outset of the cam paign. It was determined on for two reasons—first, because the Progressive leaders believe there is a chance to get a part ot the Southern electoral vote, and. second, because they believe that dlrctlng a flghi into the very heart of the Democratic stronghold will start affairs With a rush that will give them an advantage throughout the campaign, putting the Wilson followers more or less on the defensive. All this was discussed today by Colo nel Roosevelt. Governor Johnson. Jo seph M. Dixon, head of the new Pro gressive national commirnttee that came into being yesterday, and the other men who will conduct the fight of the Progressive party. Campaign Needs of Sections Discussed. Meetings of delegates and leaders of the various sections of the country— the South, the West, th* East and the New England states—were Held today before the national committee resumed its scssisons at 11 o'clock. The section al meetings were to determine the needs of the party there in the way of a campaign and to make a recommen dation to the committee. The final plans for the campaign will be based largely on these reports. The first meeting of- the committee was held last night with both Roose velt and Johnson present. Senator Dixon was elected chairman, ex-Gov ernor Franklin Fort, of Nett Jersey, was named vice chairman, and Oscar K. Davis, of New York, secretary. It was before the committee in the Florentine room of the Congress hotel shortly after midnight this morning that the first campaign speeches were delivered by the new candidates. The colonel's remarks were very brief. "We do not promise more than we can give," he said. "We promise to give every man and woman a chance to live their lives and get the best of such a life." Johnson spoke very briefly also. He said he had read carefully the address of Woodrow Wilson in accepting the Democratic nomination and found it lacking in the annunciation of human principles. “There is nothing to be feared from either Taft or Wilson.” he said. Johnson and Roosevelt went from the Coliseum to the hotel together last night after the convention adjourned. They dined with Mrs. Roosevelt and discussed campaign plans. A little later they held an informal reception in the presidential suite greeting the party leaders. About midnight they to the Florentine room, where they* met the national committee. Colonel Roosevelt and his party will 'eave this afternoon for New York. They will remain for some days at Oyster Bay. where the colonel will rest. His first public speech will be delivered at Providence, R. 1.. August 16. The following day he will go to Point of Pines. Mass., near Boston, where he will address the Progressive* ot the New England states. These speeches will be preliminary to the opening of the regular campaign. Colonel and Family Off for Oyster Bay.
