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 OPENED REALTY OFFICE I In addition to their insurance and bonding business, Haas & Maclntyre have opened real estate offices at their present location, third floor, Atlanta National bank building. Homer A. Mc- Afee, well-known real estate man, re cently with Emmett Hight, will have charge of the sales department and he will pay especial attention to city and suburban property and farm lands. THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN AND NEWS. SATURDAY. NOVEMBER 23. 1912. 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. U. S.

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.

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. Is your husband cross?

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.

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.
