HOUSEVOTESNOT
TO INVESTIGATE i
HEALTHBOARO
Bills for Icing Fruit Cars on
Sundays and Screens for
Coaches Passed.
*
_ I
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.
This was a senate resolution, and was
championed in the house by Representa
tive BrowYt, of Fulton, ft was the out
come of an old row between Willis West
moreland. of Atlanta, former chairman oi
‘he board, and Dr. H. F. Harris, the sec
retary
I he investigation was opnoseo 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
• ommittee appointed from the house and '
Senate to investigate the matter of the i
re-lease of the Western and Atlantic rail
re ad 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.
Car Icing Bill Passed.
I he house took the view’ that this was
n ore an effort to provide a few nice jobs
lor somebody than a necessary measure.
I’he bill of Mr. Frederick, of Macon,
providing that fruit cars might be iced
on Sunday, when necessary in the move
ment o» the peach or other perishable
crop, was passed by a vote of 109 to i. |
As the law now stands, ears can not be '
prepared for the reception of fruits on I
Sunday.
Senator Harris’ bill requiring railroads!
Iterating passenger trains in Georgia to
screen all windows was passed.
\ bitch of bills affecting the military
establishment of the state were passed.
' >ne of these bills provides for the
« eding of the state’s authority in the na
iion;J 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
«hall 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 I
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. w hich provided that j
railroads in Georgia might issue free
passes to sheriffs, w’as slaughtered by an I
adverse vote of S 9 to 30.
't 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
tum 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.

THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN AND N EWS-
Father 0. N. Jackson Calls
Craze of Women to Show
Shapely Forms Shocking.
When the fair and well formed wear
er of the clinging skirt that has drawn
’he stuciv of sociological workcis sintt
Mr
SBR w hi
its advent and the condemnation of
many wishes to perform her devotions
tit St. Anthony's Catholic rliunh. she
niii't first rush home and change het
habiliments for something mote like
tip garments grandma used to wear.
When the pink possessor of one of
thus* summery, low-cut. sleeveless
drtsst s desires to attend services ir
tne s'ltn? church, she must don some
thing mote suggestive of the solemnity
of the 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 Hie church. He believes that if
the women arc forbidden wearing such
raiment in church they will cease wear
ing them on the street. When they
eease wearing them in the street, he
thinks, a great good will be done wom
anhood.
Immodest Clothing Worn.
Therefore, he has announced that in
Hie 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 doth,
ing," said Father Jackson. "The Cath
olic church is against such a custom,
t and 1 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 ever
' 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 ears or even
pass down the street.
Want to Show Pretty Necks.
"1 titink tlte 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 bling
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 entile 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.

MILWAUKEE. WIS.. Aug 13.—Many
reforms, d<signed in the main to facili
tate iouit proiedur.-. are advocated in
reports of -lie --arious committees
»f the American Rar association, now
'n annual convmtion in this city.
rhe question of t dmpensation for in
dustrial accidrnis is- dealt with by the
committee appointed in 1910 to vo-op- ,
crate with the National t'iv'c federa
tion. The committee finds much yet '
to lie desired and rocqtnmontls the en- ’
aetment of uniform laws by all the
states and by the United Slates, based
on the following principles:
It should be compulsory and ex-
< lusive - f other remedies "or in
juries sustained in course of indus
trial employment.
It should apply to :.ll industrial
opc-iatlons or 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 proeedure.
Tito compensation should be paid
in regular installments, continuing
dining the disability, or In case of
death during dependent period of
beneficiaries.
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 eases 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 flv!e Federal judges, the pre
siding judge to be appointed by the
president and to hold'his term for life
and rhe 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.

TO BLAME FOR LAW
DEFIANCE IN CAPITAL
CHICAGO, Aug. 13.—Eugene Chafin,
in Chicago today to prepare for the
opening of his campaign as presiden
tial candidate of the Prohibitionists,
answered the assertion of Commission
er General of Immigration Keefe, that
Chafin's charges that while slave laws;
are not enforced are untrue. Chafin
said:
"I refer Mr. Keefe to the July issue
of The 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 license granting that per
mission.
"There are 52 of these speak-easies
and slave 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."

HISTORY OF NEGRO
IS TOLD IN A DRAMA
OF “PASSION PLAY”
Deep interest on the part of negroes
of Atlanta is being displayed in the
Negro Passion Play, which is to be
produced under the auspices of the
Atlanta Colored Musical Festival as
sociation at the Auditorium Thursday
and Friday.
Though the third annua! festival will
bo 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. The play is written by-
Rev. H. H. Proctor, of Atlanta, and
carries the negro through his three
periods of development. Paganism. Sla
very and Freedom. Special scenery
has been constructed for the 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 w ill form an
important part of the performance.
Tlte 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 first
negro religious organization to under
take such an endeavor.
SENATE PASSES A BILL
REQUIRING RAILWAYS
TO SCREEN COACHES
To 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 Mortis, 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 callet
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 1, 1913. Senator Harris said that
this is the law In South Carolina and
railroads entering Georgia have been tn
the habit of removing the deflectors on
crossing the state line.

CHICAGO STRIKE
MOTIVES
Slimy Hand of Politician and
Venal Labor Leader Behind
It. Says Lynch.
CLEVELAND. OHIO. Aug. 13.'—Dis
cussion of the Chicago newspaper strike
had a prominent place in the annua!
report of President James M. Ly nch, of
the Typographical union, at its conven
tion here. . •
The report, although not naming th®
Socialists, referred to them by un
mistakable inference, criticising the”®
shat ply. Regarding the Chicago strike.
President Lynch said:
"1 have no intention of criticising
any member's political belief dr at
tempting to influence his political opin
ions: those are sacred and they are for
the individual to forpi.
"But where the questionable phase of
politics is injected into trade disputes,
where, in fact, politics is responsive
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 tar. Opportunity was
presented for the wreaking of malicious
revenge against one publisher who is
prominent in national politics.
"I care not the party which, stoops to
avail itself of the I outline; that
party or those members of it who are
responsible should be promptly con-
■ detuned. The International Typograph
ical union Is the tail of no political
kite."
one of the Chicago delegates asked
that L. P. Straube. of the Chicago
StereotypOrs 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.
