E. H. GRACE WILL NEVER RECOVER
The Atlanta Georgian
VOL. XI. NO. 9.
GRACE UNDER
KNIFE FOUR
HOURS, ALL
IN VAIN
Wounded Man Cheerful as the
Operation Begins and His
Physicians Hopeful.
FACED THE ODEAL WITH
APPARENT PLEASURE
Paralyzed Man Never Mentions
Name of Wife He Accused
of Shooting Him.
Eugene Grace was operated upon
today for four and one-half hours in
a vain effort to find the bullet which
he charges his wife, Daisy Opie Grace,
sent into his spine last March 5.
In the opinion of his physicians. Dr.
B. S. Moore and Dr. J. S. Clifford, he
he will be paralyzed for the rest of his
life.
Dr. Moore, expressing admiration and
pity for the wounded man. gave it as
his opinion that he has not more than
four months to live. From three to
nine months is the usual time for such
cases to run. It is five months since
Grace’was shot.
Gamest of Men,
Says Physician.
Everything that could be done to
save Grace from being a helpless par
alytic for the remainder of his days
has now been done. Stretched on a
cot. as he faced his wife In court, or
helped to an invalid's chair, he must
spend his days and nights
The surgeons cut three inches up and
down the spine, and. guided by X-ray
photographs, hunted the bullet. Their
search was vain. The bullet was not
in the spinal canal.
Dr. More said Grace's limbs were
absolutely paralyzed He declared the
wounded man was one of the gamest
men he had ever seen.
Grace stood the ordeal well and ral
lied from the operation quickly. He
will remain at the Georgian hospital
until further plans are decided upon.
No loose bone, which it was feared
might be resting against the spinal
cord, was fouad. The physicians kept
working cautiously down toward the
vertebrae, and as Grace's circulation
and respiration were both fine, the
prospects were that they would be able
to keep up the probe for some hours
The wounded man needed very lit
tle anaesthetic. One of the physicians
stated that if his strength continued
satisfactory the probe could be kept
up for seven hours.
Faced Operation
‘With Pleasure.
Previous to going on the table at the
Georgian hospital he declared that he
looked forward to the operation, not
only with confidence, but with pleasure.
His phvsical condition tended to justify
his confidence. His physicians declared
just previous to the scheduled time of
operation that he could not be in bet
ter shape to withstand the shock.
His mother, Mrs. S. L. Hill, was with
him throughout the morning. Othet
relatives were present. They seemed
in a measure to share his confidence,
but according to physicians present,
the man whose life was at stake seemed
least to realize the danger of the sur
geon’s knife.
Mind Did Not
Rest on Death.
His mind did not rest on the danger
of death. . His thoughts were only that
he was about to undergo an ordeal that
would mean a restoration to the health
he had enjoyed before he was wounded
by the shot which he accused his wife
of firing.
If that wife was in his thoughts be
fore the operation no indication of it
was given in the hospital ward, where
he rested. No word was received from
her. Her name was not mentioned to
those in the room.
Appeared in
High Spirits.
Grace slept well last night. He
awoke early and appeared in high
spirits. So excellent was his condition
that both doctors and members of the
family agreed that the proper time for
the operation had arrived.

Streets Reform Bill
Is Passed and Sent to
Brown For Signature
The Amendment Makes Necessary
Submission of Clause Annex
ing Capitol View.
The house this afternoon concurred
tn the senate amendments to the At
lanta charter provisions giving the city
council much needed authority in the
construction department. The charter
amendment bill now goes to the gov
ernor, who undoubtedly will sign it.
The action of the house proved un
founded the fears of those who believed
the amendment by the senate would
hold up the bill's passage.
The amendment made necessary the
submission of the clause affecting the
annexation of Capitol View to the cit
izens of that place. This referendum
election, however, will have no bearing
on the other provisions of the bill,
which become effective when the gov
ernor’s signature is attached.

“Atlanta Is at Parting of
Ways,” Declares Chairman
of Municipal Finances.
“ALL DEPARTMENTS OF
GOVERNMENT FAULTY”
Aiderman Believes Even the
Moral Reputation of Gate
City Hang? in Balance.
•
John S. Candler, ex-supreme court
judge and city aiderman. made these
striking statements today:
"Atlanta is at the parting of the
ways.
"The city is In the hole and the state
is in the hole.
“There is a great opportunity to pull
the city out. It is a much more dif
ficult proposition with the state.
"The biggest job in the state for the
next two years will be mayor of At
lanta.
Even City's Moral
Reputation Is in Danger,
“We have the reputation of being a
clean, moral city. That record today
is in the balance.
"We are confronted with attaining
the lawless, immoral reputations of
New York and the other cities of thute
country which dominate their respec
tive sections.
"We are face to face with the ques
tion of whether we shall continue to
enforce the state laws or become a
community with its own laws, as many
other American cities are.
"We have been too little attentive to
the remainder of Georgia. We are in
danger of getting a#ay from our Geor
gian ideals.
“Our city departments are out of
whack.
Reforms Needed
Everywhere, He Says.
"Reforms are needed everywhere.
"We need the best city engineer in
America to plan for the great building
opportunity that is today open to us.
"The next mayor of Atlanta will be
the man on whose shoulders the great
er part of these tremendous responsi
bilities will fall. There could be no
bigger opportunity to a man who would
serve unselfishly, bravely and patriot
ically.”
These statements were made in an
interview with a reporter for The
Georgian. Judge Candler made them
after reiterating the statement recently
published that he would not be a can
didate for mayor.
“I have told my friends and support
ers finally that I will not be a candi
date,” he said. “The job will require
more time and effort than I could pos
sibly give it.”
“City Offices Too Much
Affected by Politics.’’
But Judge Candler has two more
years to serve as alderman. He is
chairman of the council finance com
mittee and one of the most active city
officials
“I intend to continue to give my best
services as alderman,” he continued.
“I realize the great crisis we face to
day. I see a wonderful opportunity.
The greatest amßition of my life is to
help leave for my children and the
generations to come the greatest city
on earth.”
Judge Candler did not go much into
details of the present city's problem, as
he sees them. He touched upon the
tendency to breaK away from moral
lines. He said that city offices were
too much affected by politics, xle said
the most Imperative need was a more
efficient street and sewer system and
that city developments should be made
on more scientific lines.
“The irregularities of our tax sys
tem demands a complete revision," he
said "These will show the way for
reforms elsewhere."

Negro Pushed Mrs. E. B. Mc-
Daniel Back in Bed and Left
When She Screamed,
Lying awake until 3 o’clock this
morning with a sick six-weeks-old baby
boy, one of twins, Mrs E. B. McDan
iel, of 18 West Georgia avenue, the
wife of a Southern railway engineer
who was away on a trip, heard a bur
glar entering her room window. Help
less in her fright, she remained silent
until the man, a negro, was in the room.
Then she screamed with all her might.
The negro rushed at her and shoved
her back in the bed, then fled through
the window he had entered.
Charles McDaniel, a ten-year-old son,
was aroused and he pursued the bur
glar with his father's pistol.
Policemen David and Camp were
standing only a block away. They saw
a man running and overtook him.
The negro gave his name as Ed Mur
phy. They took him before Mrs. Mc-
Daniel, but she was unable positively
to identify him. Because of the weak
ness of the evidence Recorder Broyles
did not bind the negro over to the state
court, but sentenced him to the stock
ade for 30 days.

HUSBAND: FINDS HE
OBTAINED DIVORCE
When Mrs. Fannie Gwinn, of Spar

ing superior court to set aside the de
cree.
Mrs. Gwinn asserts that her husband
came to Atlanta nearly seven years ago,
leaving her in the South Carolina town.
In 1910 Gwinn asked the courts for a
divorce from her, though he did not
notify her that he had done so. Mrs.
Gwinn's petition will be heard Septem

■L OILL WINS
OVER TAFT VETO
Ten House Members Failing To
Vote Gives Victory to
Tariff Measure.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 13. —The house
this afternoon passed the w'ool bill over
President Taft's veto.
One hundred and seventy-four mem
bers voted aye, 80 voted nay and 10
“present.”
Nineteen Republicans voted with the
Democrats to pass the bill over the
veto.
It was at first thought the motion
had been lost by two votes, but Speak
er Clark set the Democrats wild by rul
ing that the ten members who voted
"present” were not to be counted in
the. final vote and that the Democrats
therefore had carried the wool bill over
the president's head.
By eliminating ten members who
voted “present.” the total number on
the floor was reduced from 264 to 254,
and 174 yeas constituted a two-thirds
majority.
