FDR THIS SESSION
I
Leaders Think $25,000,000
for Public Buildings Would
Be Fine Measure.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 23.—The pros
pect of legislation of the ‘‘pork barrel"
variety 1s 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 harbor
measure providing for a continuance of
work on projects already on will be re
ported from committee. This bill, it is
declared by experts, should carry an
appropriation of not less than $30,000,-
000.
Advocates of an omnibus public
buildings bill lost their tight 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
economy and two measures, both mak
ing large drafts upon the public treas
ury. were not considered advisable. So
public buildings h gisiation 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 tiie coming session.
' There are other evidences already
apparent on capitol hill that the short
session will not adhere closely to a pol
icy of passing only the appropriation
bills that are necessary for the upkeep
[of the government. In the air is talk
| of a renewal of the fight for a greater
I> 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
[dally consultation with his assistants
'and Majority Leader Oscar Underwood.
HAAS & MacINTYRE HAVE

INSANE MAN SHGOTS
TWO AND IS KILLED
BY PURSUING POSSE
MINNEAPOLIS, MINN., Nov. 23.
One man is dead and two are dying as
a result of the escape of a madman
from the state asylum for 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
Lenzen, aged 26, near Hainelfi a village
fifteen miles southeast of here. He
fired twice through tl’.e window,
wounding Matthew Lenzen 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
the sheriff and a posse was formed and
started to hunt for Polker. They sur
rounded the barn. Polker, who was
armed with a repeating ride, fired
steadily at the members of tin- posse.
At length, still tiring, he merged from
the barn. A shot from the revolver of
Deputy Sheriff Wall struck him in the
forehead and he dropped dead. None
of the members of the posse was
wounded.
Polker was committed to the asylum
at Rochester after having set tire to a
number of barns in the neighborhood
of his home.

Twenty Teams Will Start on a
Whirlwind Campaign for
Funds Monday.
The Atlanta Ad Men’s campaign to
raise funds for the Associated Charities
is tn full swing. Twenty teams will be
turned loose on the town next Monday
morning to sweep ft clean like a bat
j o ry of harvesting machines in a field
I of wheat.
This afternoon the .*am captains and
team workers will meet in the M. & M.
club to rganize their canvass and to
map out their program. They will di
vide up the town in sections, fix an
I amount for each team to raise, agree
upon the hours for dally meetings, and
arrange all the various other details
Following are the names of the cap
tains: Jack Lewis, Fred Houser. Paul

som and Howard Geldert.
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 tiie campaign and say a good
word for it.
Women to Aid Worker*.
A large number of women who 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 the Ad Men are confident of getting
all they go after.

CANALEJAS’ SLAYER
SENT FROM U. S., SAY
SPANISH SLEUTHS
MADRID, 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 Meyler,
whose lives 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
tiie life of the Spanish premier, and the
German secret service have been
warned to keep a keen watch on all
suspicious foreigners in Berlin.

THE PULLMAN CARNIVAL OF FUN
EXCUSE ME
BY RUPERT HUGHES
Read What the Atlanta Papers Said
It is doubtful if the memory of the oldest and most confirmed first-nighter
records a play which has caused so much side-splitting merriment as "Excuse
Me.” Certainly none of recent years has deserved more applause.
Sidney Ormond —Atlanta Constitution.
An immense audience saw “Excuse Me." Laughs were continuous and
applause a-plenty.
Paul Wilkes—Georgian.
It is a rippling, bubbly, uproarious comedy. A sort of a glad combina
tion between a chuckle and a scream.
