HOUSE HUTES NOT
TO INVESTIGATE
HEALTH BOMB
Bills for Icing Fruit Cars on
Sundays and Screens for
Coaches Passed.
The house this morning killed the pro
posed investigation of the state board of
health by refusing to agree to the report
of the house committee on htygiene and
sanitation that the resolution pass.
I his was a senate resolution, and was
championed in the house by Representa
tive Brown, of Fulton. It was the out
come of an old row between Willis West
moreland. of Atlanta, former chairman o!
the beard, and Dr. H, F. Harris, the sec
retary .
The investigation was opposed by Uep
tesentative Vinsdh, of Baldwin, and the
motion to disagree to the committee re
port prevailed by a vote of 65 to 79.
Hooper Alexander's effort to have a
i'ommlttee appointed from the house and
senate to investigate the matter of the
re-lease of the Western and Atlantic rail
road seven years from now, was headed
oft by a vote on rhe railroad committee's
favorable report', which was disagreed to
by 37 to 59.
Car Icing Bill Passed.
The house took the view that this was
more an effort to provide a few nice Jobs
tor somebody than a necessary measure.
The bill of Mr. Frederick, of Macon,
providing that fruit cars might be iced
on Sunday, when necessary in the move- 1
ment of the peach or other perishable
crop, was passed by a vote of 109 to 1.
As the law now stands, cars ran not h»
prepared for the reception of fruits on
Sunday.
Senator Harris’ bill requiring railroads
operating passenger trains in Georgia to
screen all windows was.passed.
X batch of bills affecting the military
establishment of the state were passed.
, < tne of these bills provides for the
ceding oi the state's authority in the na
tional military reservations in Chicka
mauga and Fort OglethoFpe to the Fed
eral government.
I he others are companion bills and af
fect the state militia only.
No Passes For Sheriffs.
They provide that all riot situations
shall be immediately in command of the
senigr military officer present, so far as
t'ne operations of the militia is concerned,
instead of the sheriff, as the laws now
stand; that military trains may be operat
ed on Sunday in Georgia, that all clerks in
the adjutant general's office shall be
under civil service rules, and that the
state military law's shall conform to the
national laws in other minor particulars.
Senate bill No. 96, which provided that
railroads in Georgia might issue free
passes to sheriffs, was slaughtered by an
adverse vote of 89 to 30.
I’he house plainly was not interested in
its work today. There was not a vote
called that did not have to be taken from
two to four times, in order to get a quo
rum recorded.
The speaker, time and again, had to
admonish the members that it was their
duty to vote one way or the other on al)
questions, and repeatedly had to send the
pages into the lobbies and halls to bring
in wandering legislators and force them
to vote.

Father 0. N. Jackson Calls
Craze of Women to Show x
Shapely Forms Shocking. '

its advent anti the condemnation of
many wishes to perform her devotions
at St. Anthony's Catholic church, she
must first rush home and change hi r ;
habiliments for something more like ■
•ho garments grandma used to wear.
When the pink possessor of one of ;
those summery, low-cut. sleeveless j
dresses de.-ires to attend services in I
the same church, she must don some
thing mote suggestive of the solemnity
of tlte occasion than is implied in the
name “peek-a-boo.”
Father <>. N. Jackson, pastor of St.
Anthonys. has taken a firm stand in
the matter. He believes that these
vanities have no place in the ceremo
nies of the church. He believes that if
the women are forbidden wearing such
raiment in church they’ will cease wear
ing them on the street. When they
cease wearing them in the street, he
thinks, a great good will be done wom
anhood.
immodest Clothing Worn.
Therefore, he has announced that in
the future there will be no persons pos
sessed of “peek-a-boo" in the pews of
his church, while the hobble skirt wili
be greeted with equal/disfavor.
"It is a deplorable fact that there
are many young women in Atlanta
streets daily who wear immodest cloth
ing," said Father Jackson. “The Cath
olic church Is against such a custom,
and I mean positively to forbid such
dress in my church.
“By immodest clothing I mean the
clinging skirts and low-cut or sleeve
less waists often seen in the most pub
lic places. Such dresses will not even
be allowed in a church reception here
“When in the business section of the
city I have often seen young women
dressed in costumes ’hat tire little less
than shocking. Thjy bring remarks
from men on the streets when the
wearers step into street cars or even
pass down the street.
Want to Show Pretty Necks.
“I think the women do not intend to
do the harm their suggestive costumes
bring about. They arc vain—have
pretty shoulder.-, a beautiful neck or
shapely arms, and simply like to show
them. Fashions are formed by this
same vanity. Now dresses are some
times introduced for no other reason
than they display the graceful lines of
a woman's form—and a dress that does
this is always a popular one.
"A suggestive dress is more harmful
than a vulgar costume. The latter
would arouse disgust in men. As it is,
some dresses of the latest fashion bring
ideas of lax morals to the young men
who view them. That is why they will
not be allowed in my church. At serv
ice worldly thoughts should not •be
aroused, and I believe one of the most
common causes for them is the dress
of some of our women. They must have
the entire body covered with the cloth
ing approved of by oup modest people,
if they wish a part in St. Anthonys
church.”
Father Jackson spoke of the pres< nt
d.iy costumes of women upon learning
lof such dresses being barred front
services by Cardinal Cavallari. at
Vienna, recently. Tile cardinal spoke
from his pulpit and stated that he
would in future bar such dresses from
his i iiurch.

i 'I he question of compensation for in
dustrial accidents is dealt with by the
committee appointed in 1910 to I’o-op
erate witii the National Civic federa
tion. The emnmittec finds much yet
to be desired and recommends the en
actment of uniform laws by all the
states and by the United States, based
on the foilowing principles:
It should be compulsory and ex
clusive of otiier remedies for in
juries sustained in course of indus
trial employment.
It should apply to all industrial
operations.oi at least to all indus
trial organizations above a certain
limit of size.
Regardless of Fault.
It should apply to all accidents
occurring in the course of indus
trial operations, regardless of the
fault of any one, self-inflicted in
juries not being counted as acci
dents.
The compensation should be ad
judicated by a prompt, simple and
inexpensive procedure.
The compensation should be paid
in regular installments, continuing
during the disability, or in case of
death during dependent period of
bonefieia ries.
The compensation should be
properly proportioned to the wages
received before injury.
The compensation should be paid
with a near absolute certainty as
possible, in the most convenient
manner, and there should be ade
quate security for deferred pay
ments.
The committee on patent, trade
mark and copyright law severely con
demned the proposal of President Taft
that the question of providing a single
court of last resort in patent cases be
solved by adding the proposed duties
and powers of such a court to the func
tions of the commerce court. It is
pointed out that judges who at some
time or other specialized in patent law,
and yet possess a broad understanding
of general law, are needed. To this
end it is proposed that the court be
formed of five Federal judges, the pre
siding judge to be appointed by the
president and to hold his term for life
and the others to be designated by the
chief justice of the supreme court, each
to serve six years. A bill introduced in
the present session of congress by the
Hon. William A. Sulzer, of New York,
prov iding for such a court, is indorsed.

answered the assertion of t'ommission
ei General of Immigration Keefe, Hint
Chafin's charges that white slave laws
are not enforced are untrue.. Chafin
said:
“I refer Mr. Keefe to the July issue
of Tlie American Advance, which gives
a list of disreputable houses which
swarm around official buildings of
Washington. Every one of these houses
holds a Federal tax receipt for license
to sell liquors at retail, and not one
holds a local lictn.se granting that per
mission.
“There are 52 of these speak-easies
and slavi marts lying within the dis
trict between the white house and the
postoffice. Eight of them are within a
block of the white house.
I maintain that President Taft is
responsible for this defiance of the law.

would."

HISTORY OF NEGRO
IS TOLD IN A DRAMA
OF “PASSION PLAY”
Deep interest pn the part of negroes
of Atlanta is being displayed in the
Negro Passion Play, which is to be
produced unde'- the auspices of the
Atlanta Colored Musical Festival as
"ociation at th? Auditorium Thursday
and F: iday.
Though tlie third annual festival wili
he largely musical, it is the intention of
the association to devolve a higher
meaning on the occasion. The mem
bers have made their plans to have the
occasion historical, dramatic and edu
cational as well as a means of giving
Atlanta opportunity to hear the best
that the‘race has produced from a
vocal and instrumental viewpoint.
The center of the festival will be the
Passion Play, 'i’he play i- written by
Rev. H. H. Pioctor. of Atlanta, and
carries the negro through his three
periods of development. Paganism. Sla
very and Freedom. Special scenery
lias been constructed for tlie produc
tion and an endeavor will be made to
display negro genius through the sev
eral stages.
The poems of Paul Lawrence, Dun
bar and Coleridge Taylor will form an
important part of the performance.
The famous Fiske Jubilee singers
will furnish the chorus work, with
Anita Patti Brown, the famous negress
coloratura soprano, as the principal so
loist. The proceeds of the festival will
go toward forwarding the work of the
First Congregational church, the fir*t
negro religious organization to under
take such an endeavor.
SENATE PASSES A BILL
REQUIRING RAILWAYS
TO SCREEN COACHES
Tn vary the monotony of a dreary ses
sion the senate today was guilty of real
comedy while passing a bill to require
railroads to equip passenger coaches with
cinder deflectors. *
The bill was the work of Senator Har
ris, of Cedartown. Its principal opponent
was Senator Morris, of Augusta. Neither
was present when the measure was ap
proved.
Senator Harris, who has been working
for cinder deflectors for two sessions,
sought to have his bill called up to con
cur in a house amendment. Senator Mor
ris objected.
The vaudeville team of Harris and Mor
ris retired to a smoking room to argue.
In the meantime Senator Felker callel
up the bill and it was passed without op
position.
The bill requires all railroads operating
in Georgia to equip passenger coaches
with effective cinder deflectors beginning
May I. 1913. Senator Harris said that
this is the law in South Carolina and
railroads entering Georgia have been in
the habit of removing the deflectors on
crossing the state line.

CHICAGO STRIKE

Slimy Hand of Politician and
Venal Labor Leader Behind
It, Says Lynch.
' LEVELAND, OHIO, Aug 13.—Dis
cussion of the t'hicago newspaper strike
had a prominent place in the annual
report of President James M. Lynch, of
the Typography al union, at its conven
tion here.
The report, although not naming the
Socialists, referred to them by un
mistakable inference, criticising them
sharply. Regarding the t'hicago strike.
President Lynch said:
"I have no intention of criticising
any member’s political belief or at
tempting to influence his political opin
ions; those are sacred and they are for
the individual to form.
"But whee the questionable phase of
politics i- Injected Into trade disputes,
where, in fact, politics is responsible
for those trade disputes, where indus
trial disturbance is fomented and prop
agated in order to advance or disas
trously affect the political fortunes of
some nart'u ula • party or individual,
then those members of the trade union
movement who allow themselves to be
used for sinister purposes are open to
criticism, if not contempt.
"Malicious Revenge,”
"If tlie Chicago situation, to which T
refer exhaustively In this report, was
not caused in. the first instance by un
de:-the-surfave political effort, then
the slimy hand of tlie professional poli
tician and the venal labor leader was
in evidence before the incident had
progressed very far. Opportunity’ was
presented for tlie w reaking cf malicious
revenge against one publisher who is
prominent in national politics
“I care not the pa ty which stoops to
■avail itself of the tactics I outline; that
party or those members of it who are
responsible should be promptly con
demned. The International Typograph
ical union is the tall of no political
kite."
One of the Chicago delegates asked
that L. P. Straube. of the Chicago
Stereotypers union, be given the privi
lege of addressing the convention on
the- pressmen's strike.
President Lynch ruled that L. P.
Straube was not a member in good
standing of any trade union.
