4 HOUSE ITS ON FIGHTING SENATE End of Session of Congress In definitely Delayed by States Claims Dispute. WASHINGTON. Auk 26.--A plan nf ran’paigu was evolved by members of the house early today to put the ques tion of adjournment squarely up to the senate. The plan. It Is said, included an agreement by house members that after today no question of a quorum ehan be raised and that a speaker pro tem. shall be designated to < all the house to order every two or three days, permitting most of the members to leave, and to conduct business along this line until the senate gets tired of staying here This plan was unofficially circulated among the members of the senate. To day the senators from Virginia. Oregon. Maryland and Texas appeared to be Just as firm In their determination to fight adjournment until the claims of their, ytates are restored to the general defi< iehey bill as they were Saturday night. Senators I.aFollette and Pen rose were prepared to stand by their fight No Overtures to Senate. Representative i’nderwood today an nounced that no overtures would be made to the senate with regard to the deficiency appropriation bill or a set tled date of adjournment. ■'Ro far as the house Is concerned." said he. "the general deficiency bill Is out of their hands and on the way to the president. If the senate insists on amendments to this bill which have no right to be In ity the house can not be held responsible We arc prepared to stand until the senate shall send word that it desires a further conference on this bill " Congressman Fitzgerald declared to day the house would never yield. Speak er Clark Is of the opinion that the house will meet the compromise. In this event the deficiency bill probably will he passed In February. 1913. In anticipation that the senate might recede, the general deficiency bill, minus the $600,000 state claims, which have been the cause of the fight, was en grossed today, so that within a few minutes it can be forwarded to Presi dent Taft. Taft Swelters and Waits. The first train north leav ing Washington after congress adjourns will carry President Taft toward Beverly. That's all any one here knows today about the time the chief executive would leave for Massa chusetts. The adjournment of con gress was then a very much unknown quantity, and Taft felt that he could not leave while the national legislature was in session. Washington today Is in the throes of the summer's hottest epell. To add to the president's discomfort was the fact that all of Mr. Taft's summer clothes had been sent to Beverly, and he spent yesterday and today In woolens In stead of the flannels or crash he is ac customed to wear. In addition, the knowledge that ft was costing him S2OO a day for his private car held ready for Immediate use and the provisions to stock ft did not add to the president’s comfort FATHER'S SKIN IS GRAFTED ON SON’S BURNED LEG NEW YORK, Aug. 26. David P. Condon, a fireman of Tompkinsville. Staten island, is In the Smith Infirmary on Staten Island and next him lies his five-year-old son David. On the child's hft leg are some 40 Inches of his fa ther's skin grafted there after an op eration pel forme ! by Drs. \ H. Thom. ks and Charles Cruger last Monday. The boy burned his leg six weeks ago playing with a box of matches. Condon went to fire headquarter* last week and toid Commissioner Johnson that he wanted five days off He had to be urged to give his reasons, but when he did he was toid to take as much time off as he pleased It was said last night that the graft ing had been a success and that both father and son would re. over Making the Personal Call ■■" by Wire Telegrams Open the Door Marked ‘'Private ’’ A Western Union DAY LET TER or NIGHT LETTER will convey all the essentials of a per sonal visit at a fraction of the cost and in a fraction of the time. Full Information and Rates b\ Telephone THE WESTERN UNION TELEGRAPH COMPANY SEARCHINGSIDELIGHTS ON GEORGIA POLITICS A great many politician* fn Georgia are taking the results of Wednesday's primary to mean, among other things, that the state of Georgia is pretty well satisfied with the measure of prohibi tion. real or imaginary, It now has, and that Immediate efforts, at least, to change the status of things is going to meet with failute. Whatever of rank dissatisfaction there may be with the present law and its enforcement would seem to have been well rounded up in the vote ac corded Mr Alexander. Mr. Alexander made the prohibition question the paramount issue of his campaign. He based his entry Into the figlit against Mr Slaton upon the gov ernor's failure to sign the Tippins bill, after that bill had passed the house and the senate by a two-thirds vote of each house. The gentleman from DeKalb made the issue plain from one end of Georgia to the other. He pictured whatever of the horrible there may be In Georgia's present attitude with respect to t-he prohibition law. He said, with vehe mence. and it was heralded by the newspapers everywhere, that Georgia was “in a state of anardhy.” If any man ever was qualified seem ingly to force the issue of prohibition at this particular time. Hooper Alex ander certainly was that man. And yet, on the issue of "Georgia in a state of anarchy," because of the pro hibition law as it stands today, Mr. Alexander was able to carry hut one lonesome county—and that by the nar rowest sort of margin. His popular vote was something like twenty per cent only of the total vote cast. The conclusion that Georgia Is not In a state of anarchy seems, therefore, by many to be abundantly warranted. One of the most pronounced and ar dent prohibitionists fn Georgia, dis cussing the question of prohibition a few days before the primary, said: "Georgia is trying out a most inter esting experiment, and I, as a prohibi tionist and temperance man, would like to see it carried to Its logical conclu sion. "We have abolished the old-fash ioned barroom, w here all sorts of heavy drinks were sold, and substituted for It a bar In w»hlch only beer Is dispensed. "True, we know that real beer is sold in these places, and not 'near-beer,' so called. But. as a rule, nothing but bee’ Is sold there. "In one or two big cities the law is HILLYER TRUST CO.

NEVIN. flagrantly violated, and the old-time bars flourish with impunity—those citit s never will obey any sort of pro hibition law, perhaps. Certainly not at this time. "But In Atlanta, the capita! of the stqte. and In the other cities, the law is well observed. There Is not a bar In this city that sells anything stronger than beer. "Gradually, I think, the public taste for drink in Georgia Is being switched away from whisky to beer. “if that be true —and It will take time to demonstrate the truthfulness of the suggestion, to b* sure- I think pro hibitionists and temperance advocates may well pride themselves that much good has been accomplished.” This Georgian then went on to dis cuss something of the progress of pro hibition and temperance in Georgia, saying': "1 am getting to be an old man. I saw. when I was a boy. barrooms every where. "The old cross-roads bar was a com mon sight then. There was hardly a fork In the country byways that was not decorated with a doggery. The farmers then knew what it was to be harassed by the liquor problem in a manner unknown nowadays. These country bars were almost devoid of po lice protection, and they were breeders of all sorts of lawlessness. "The first step was to abolish the cross-roads bar This was done by the enactment of law prohibiting bars within certain distances of churches and school houses, unless located in in corporated towns. "It was a great relief to get the bars confined to the towns, and removed from the rural sections. "Gradually, we restricted the bars to the cities. We limited their number, we licensed them high, we regulated their hours. "Then we drove them from the small er towns and confined them to large towns "Then we closed all the old-time bars fn the cities, and we are now weaning the public away from its former taste for strong drink, and If we can induce it to confine itself to beer and light wines for a number of years, logically we may hope eventually to get rid of the question entirely. "Certainly we have made most ex cellent progress. Certainly the experi ment we are now undergoing is prom ising. "I think the public will reject any violent changes In the present state of things that may be proposed in the near future." ATLANTAN’S BROTHER KILLED BY ENGINE IN SAVANNAH R. R.YARDS SAVANNAH.

TRAINED NURSE CURES DIABETES A letter from a trained nurse. Miss Isa belle M. Potter, of Portland, Oregon, con denses to the following: "I have care of a patient who is taking your Diabetes Compound. It has been my pleasure to have several of these cases. I say pleasure because it is quoted as in curable. but 1 can not see it that way. This patient was in a very despondent mood, staying in bed most of the time. Today he was out walking several times, walking nearly three miles. I am not an advocate of drugs, as a rule, but when a patient thinks he needs one thing or an other I never oppose. My patient is im proving fast. His sight was failing, but already shows decided improvement.” The plain fact is that Diabetes, al though supposed to be incurable, is now being cured every day in people of mid dle age and over. We marvel that phy sicians and hospitals can be content to see patients slowly succumb under code ine, arsenauro, etc., when many of them can recover by the simple use of a mild infusion under which specific gravity and sugar begin to decline in most cases with in twenty days. There is no uncertainty as to the re sults for the can be weighed and the specific gravity recorded and the re sults noted from day to day.
