HOUSE VOTES NOT TO INVESTIGATE HEALTHBOARD 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 hygiene and sanitation that the resolution pass. 1 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 of the board, and Dr. H. F. Harris, the sec retary. _ The lnv?stigation was opposed by Rep resentative Vinson, 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 committee appointed from the house and senate to investigate the matter of the re-lease of th# Western and Atlantic rail road seven years from now. was headed off by a vote on the railroad committee's favorable report, which was disagreed to by 37 to 59 C r Icing Bill Passed. The house took the view that this was more an effort to provide a few nice jobs for 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 ment of the peach or other perishable crop, was passed by a vote of 109 to 1. As the law now stands, cars can not be prepared for the reception of fruits on Sunday. Senator Harris' bill requiring railroads operating passenger trains in Georgia to screen all windows was passed. A batch of bills affecting the military establishment of the state were passed. one of these bills provides for the ceding of the state’s authority in the na tional military reservations in Chicka mauga and Fort Oglethorpe 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 senior military officer present, so far as the 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 laws 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. The 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 all 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 Shapely Forms Shocking. TA hpn the fair and well formed wear er of the clinging gkirt that has drawn the study of sociological workers since —zz < 7 r ’***••** its advent and the condemnation of many wishes to perform her devotions at St. Anthony's Catholic church, she must first rush home and change her habiliments for Something more like I the garments grandma used to wear. When the pink possessor of one of those summery, low-cut. sleeveless dresses desires to attend services in the same church, she must don some thing more suggestive of the solemnity of the occasion than is implied in the- name "peek-a-boo.” Father O. 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 will 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 that are little less than shocking. They 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 are vain—have pretty shoulders, a beautiful neck or shapely arms, and simply like to show them. Fashions are formed by this same vanity. New 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 our modest people, if they wish a part in St. Anthonys church.” Father Jackson spoke of the present day costumes of women upon learning of such dresses being barred from services by Cardinal Cavallari, at Vienna, recently. The cardinal spoke from his pulpit and stated that he would in future bar such dresses from his church.

I The question of compensation for in dustrial accidents Is dealt with by the committee appointed in 191(1 to co-op erate with the National Civic federa tion. The committee finds much yet to be desirei] and recommends the en actment of uniform laws by all the states and by the United States, based on the following principles: Il should be compulsory and ex clusive of other remedies for in juries sustained in course of indus trial employment. It should apply to all industrial operations or at least to all indus trial organizations above a certain limit of size. Regardless of Fault. It should apply *.'• nil accidents occurring in t'.ie course < * indus trial operations, regardless i." 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 diitin’g the disability, or in case of death dining dependent period of beneficiaries. Tile 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, providing for such a court, is indorsed.

"Rut where the questionable phase of politics is 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 particular 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 the Chicago situation, to which I refer exhaustively in this report, was not caused in the first instance by un der-the-surface political effort, then the slimy hand of the professional poli tician and the venal labor leader was in evidence before the incident had progressed very far.
