IMIEMH CAUSES MISTRIAL J. H. James, Recent Candidate for Railway Board, Wants Prisoner to Confess. John H. James, recent candidate for railroad commissioner, acting in ,the r .de of superior court juror inadver tently gave Putsy Garey, a negro, , parged with burglarizing, a. temporary ■spite from trial in criminal division today. "This prisoner not only pawned the •Atitched involved in this case, Hut he was in the pawning business by the wholesale.” shouted Solicitor Dorsey to the jurymen holding aloft a handful of pawn tickets. "That's right,” agreed James, inter rupting the trial and talking from the , try box. "Why doesn’t he plead guil ty?” For a minute the courtroom was si lent and the judge astounded by the unusual proceeding. The prisoner’s lawyer, quick to take advantage of the point, moved that Judge Ellis declare a mistrial. After several minutes of parley be tween lawyers, the judge recognized the technicality.

Every blessed one of them has been yanked from the dust of defeat into the big court by the grand Jury! This is one of the saddest tales fever chronicled in Georgia politics! Congressman Gordon Lee. talking to a group of friends in Atlanta today, discussed the subject of good roads, from the national standpoint, most in terestingly. Among other things. Mr. Lee said: "It is my opinion that congress, with in a few years, will pass annually a good roads appropriation bill, relatively as heavy as the rivers and harbors bill, and that the money under its pro visions will be of far more benefit to the masses of the people than the ap propriations carried by the rivers and harbors bill, as meritorious as many of those anoropriations are. "I have the very great honor of be ing a member of the special house com. mission having under consideration the entire subject of good roads. We will meet in November, and enter exhaust ively' into the subject, particularly wiUi an eye to lending Federal aid in the matter of road construction and their indirect maintenance. The nlan to have the government lease, for rural mail delivery purposes, such roads as are kept to a high standard by local au thorities. will enter into the Federal scheme of things, after some sort of fashion, eventually. I think. "The question of good roads is one of the most pressing that congress has to consider. The demand for good roads is confined to no one section. It spreads evenly from one end of the nation to the other "Personally. 1 know of no finer way to spend the people’s money—no surer, safer, or saner wav to eiva them back their own—than through the encour agement of good roads construction.” Barry Wright, of Floyd, former mem ber of the house of representatives and Democratic nominee for membership in the next, is an Atlanta visitor today . Mr. Wright is at present engaged in the practice of law in Rome, with his distinguished father, Seaborn Wright. The younger Wright is an ardent sup porter of Woodrow Wilson and has made several speeches in his behalf. The senior member of the firm Is also a Wilson man, but he is possessed of many repressed Bull Moose sentiments that threaten to break loose now and then, regardless. Young Mr. Wright says he hopes, however, to keep his father perfectly regular and shouting for Wilson, be sternly frowning down anv suspected inclination upon his part to come io At lanta tomorrow night and hear the colonel orate to the multitude. Governor Joseph M. Brown is fond of young people, and lends usually a most willing ear to their t>etitions. He does not suspect that all Jhe wis- - dom of tiie ages is tucked simgly be neath either bald heads or heads hoary with age. Particularly is the governor inclined to view with satisfaction the ancient and honorable institution of matrimony, fashioned in the days of man’s inno cencv. and perfected for the uplift and betterment of the world. The governor, as a man. doubtless would he only too glad to further love’s young dream, now being indulged in by a suitor for the hand of Thomas Edgar Stripling’s daughter. But he likely will not be able to help it along, if the only way he can do it is by pardoning Strip ling The governor thinks that by and by, perhaps, a further petition for Strip ling's pardon might be in order. Now, however. he can see no reason to change the opinion he formed whsm the case came before him originally—ana opin ion reached after long, careful, dis criminating and exhaustive investiga tion and consideration The letter from Youngblood to the governor, in whi< h Stripling's pardon was sought, precipiiated a deluge of mail in the executive office—largely from people of a sentimental turn of mind, who saw in Youngblood’s letter a note of pathos and genuine human in terest that appealed tremendously. flso Ladies’ Suits !!| Secured at the lowest prices ever sold in the city.

Floating flats for millionaires are the latest luxury in transatlantic travel, and the vessel on which, it is understood, the provision will be made is the new Cunarder Aqul tania, which will be launched on the Clyde about December and put in commission in the spring or early summer or next year. The Aquitania will be the largest ves sel flying the British flag, and probably the largest in the •world. “Probably” because the Hamburg-American line has another leviathan on the stocks which is said to be even bigger than the hn pera now heads rhe list of the world’s mg ships. Fashion in ocean travel changes pe riodically, and the decision to build flats on the Aquitania is said to be the out come of a growing tendency among fam ilies. especially English families, to live on board exactly as they would at home. there are in some of the Cu ria rders a • series of walled-off recesses where it is possible for families to take their meals by themselves. “Flatland afloat” is simply an elaboration of this system of private suites Liverpool at present has no dork that will bp able comfortably to hold the Aquitania. and the Mersey dock and harbor board Is hastening on the con struction of the new Gladstone dock at Seaforth, which is to he opened by the king in July of next year. There will be ample accommodation for the new Cunarder in this dock, and the sugges tion has been made that on the occa sion of the royal visit the king should enter it on one of the largest and latest Atlantic liners. in the absence of official confirmation, it is not unreasonable to suppose that the vessel selected for this honor will be the Aquitania U.
