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.

Ph 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.

MILWAI'KEE. M IS.. Aug. 13. Many reforms, designed in the main to facili tate court procedure, are advocated In line reports of the ■ arious committees of the American Bar association, now in annual convention in this city. 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.

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. because he could stop it at once if he would."

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.

TO HEAD RAPS CHICAGO STRIKE MOTIVES 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.
