PORKBARRELBILL FOR THIS SESSION I i Leaders Think $25,000,000 for Public Buildings Would Be Fine Measure. WASHINGTON. Nov. 23. The J?io - pect of legislation of tin “pork barrel” variety is growing brighter as the time draws near for the opening of the short, session of congress. The Democratic leaders are now quite agreed that a public buildings bill carrying some thing like $25,000,000 would be a good measure for the country. Likewise, it is their belief that a river and harboi measure providing for a continuance of I work on projects already on will be re- I ported from committee. This bill, it is I declared by experts, should carry an 'appropriation of not less than $30,000,- l 000. i Advocates of an omnibus public I buildings bill lost their light in the last ■ session, being compelled to give way to the bill which authorized the construc tion of a big battleship for the navy. The Democrats were striving for i econorrfy and two measures, both mak ing large drafts upon the public treas- I ury, were not considered advisable. So | public buildings legislation was side tracked. However, in the legislative trading process promises were made to the public building advocates and a de mand for the fulfillment of these prom ises will be made at the coming session. There are other evidences already’ apparent on capltoi hill that the short session w ill not adhere closely to a pol icy of passing only the appropriation Jtrlls yiat are necessary for the upkeep of the gove iiment. In the air is talk of a renewal of the fight for a. greater navy. Many of the Democratic leaders have arrived in the city and are busily en gaged in working out a legislation plan for the session. Speaker Clark is in daily consultation with his assistants and Majority Leader Oscar Underwood, HAAS & MacINTYRE HAVE OPENED REALTY OFFICE in addition to their insurance and bonding business, Haas & Maclntyre have opened real estate offices at their present location, third floor.

One man is dead and two are dying as a result of the escape of a madman from the state asylum tor the insane and a battle fought with a sheriff's | posse. The madman, Henry Polker, aged 26. made his way to the farm of Matthew J.enzen, aged 26, near Hamelli a village fifteen miles southeast of here. He fired twice through the window, wounding Matthew Lennen and Leon ard Lenzen, Jr., ten years old. Both are. in a critical condition today. Then Polker went to the home, of his father. He did not go to the house, but made his way to the barn. Mem bers of the Lenzen family telephoned tlie sheriff and a posse was formed and started to hunt for Polker. They sur rounded the barn. Polker. who was armed with a repenting ritle, tired steadily at the members of the posse. At length, still firing, he merged from th.- barn. A shot from the revolver of Deputy Sheriff Wall struck him in tlie forehead and lie dropped dead. None of the members of the posse was j wounded. Polker was committed to the asylum at Rochester after having set fire to a number of barns in the neighborhood of his home. U. S.

Twenty teams will be turned loose on the town next Monday morning to sweep it clean like a bat tery of harvesting machines in a field of wheat. This afternoon the team captains and team workers will meet in the M. & M. club to rganlze their canvass and to map out their program.

Twenty Ad Men, selected for their speaking ability, have been chosen to appear before the congregations of twenty churches tomorrow morning and present the cause of the Associated Charities, and in addition the pastors of all the churches have agreed to an nounce the campaign and say a good word for it. Women to Aid Workers. A large number of women whb have lent their active services to the Ad Men held a meeting in the campaign headquarters this morning and mapped out their part of the work. A women’s auxiliary team will work with each canvassing team in the whirlwind cam paign next Monday, Tuesday and Wed nesday. On Thursday night the campaign will terminate with a brilliant street parade and White Way carnival. There will be brass bands, military organizations re splendent in full uniform and a mag nificent float symbolizing "Charity,” with a number of lovely girls in spe cially designed costumes, on the main corners during the carnival will be girls to receive contributions from persons who were overlooked by the canvassing committees—if there be any sucn. The Ad Men have undertaken to raise $25,000, which is a small amount, com pared to what Atlanta can afford to give to charity and what it is willing to give when the cause is presented prop erly. A substantial sum already has been raised through various schemes, and tlie Ad Men are confident of getting all they go after. Is your husband cross’?

Nov. 23.—That Manuel Pardinas Zarrate. the young anarchist who assassinated Premier Canalejas, was sent here direct from the United States to carry out his mission by an anarchist band was the ■ declaration made today by a leading member of the Spanish secret police. Since the assassination of the pre mier a special guard has been kept over King Alfonso and General Weyler, whose Ilves were also threatened. The king appears but little in public and no one is admitted to his presence save those having business of state to trans act. From their investigation, the police have found clews that indicate that Emperor William of Germany was em braced in the same plot which ended the life of the Spanish premier, and the German secret service have been warned to keep a keen watch on all suspicious foreigners in Berlin.
