children will be rendered.
The games will begin promptly at 3:30
o’clock. First, the nine contingents will
gather around a flag pole and the play
grounds banner will he raised while the
children give their playground yell.
Then in succession will follow the
high jumping contests, the relay race,
in which nine teams will compete; the
broad jumping, the tugs of war, whip
to the right, volley ball, circle dodge
ball and "snail.”
All the souvenirs have been donated
and are ready for distribution. A great ■
throng of grownups is expected to at- j
tend. Special cars will be run to the
park.

,lde were the mingled United States and
Japanese colors.
The weather was cold and rainy, but

’FRISCO HOLD-UPS MAKE
VICTIMS STAND ON HEADS
SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 23.—San
Francisco holdup men continue to in
vent neyv stunts for their victims. A
few weeks ago the command of "Down
on your belly" supplemented the com
mon salutation of “Hands up.”
“Stand on your head” Is the latest.
It the quaking victim demonstrates that
his gymnastic education has been neg
lected, he is cheerfully assisted, shaken
until his pockets have yielded the price
of eats, drinks and car fare, and spun
rapidly on his bald spot while the gun
men make their "get away.”

MADOOX DEFIANT
IN HOSPITIL w
Alderman J. W. Maddox, of the Fifth
ward, ordered by the police department
of Atlanta to cease work with a steam
shovel at Forsyth and Luckie streets,
today figuratively told the police de
partment to mind its own business
At the same time the aiderman de
■lared that before he would obey the
mandate of the chief of police he would
carry the fight through every court in
Georgia.
The clash between city law maker
and city law enforcer came when the
owners of the Elkin-Goldsmith sanita
rium complained tfiat their patients,
were being greatly disturbed by the I
noise of a steam shovel being used on
grading work at Forsyth and Luckie
streets, where the Hirsch-Spitz building
is being erected.
Alderman Maddox is the contractor
who has charge of this work. The hos
pital people charged that the shovel had
already been on the place an unneces
sarily long time, and was not only hav
ing an injurious effect on their pa
tients, but was also hurting their busi
ness.
Three days ago Chief Beavers sent
word to the aiderman that the shovel’
would have to be removed by 4 o'clock
yesterday afternoon. At that hour the
shovel was shoveling away as busily as
ever.
Charges of falling to obey orders to
abate a nuisance were filed against the
alderman-contractor. The contractor
was served wilh copies of the charges,
but he didn't stop work.
