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. Read For Profit—GEORGIAN WANT ADS—Use For Results 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.

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."

Help less in her fright, she remained silent until the man, a negro, was in the room. Then she screamed with all her might.

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.

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.
