SMOKE MAKES FOLK OF ATLANTA DODGE NEEDED FRESH AIR Commenting on the sti: emeftt of S. G. Lindholm, the municipal expert on health and sanitation, that Atlantans are afraid of fresh air, Ur. Claude A. Smith, head of the city laboratory of hygiene, said today that one of the main reasons Atlantans kept their doors and windows closed so tightly was the smoke niusance. Dr. Smith said it was absolutely es sential for the human system to have fresh air to be able to resist diseases, and that people here did not fully real ize the need of proper ventilation. But he said that smoke did as much to keep fresh air out of offices and homes as the fear of cold. 8188 TEACHERS JOIN PENSION ASSOCIATION MACON, GA..

Clay Unmoved As Kin Beg Him, In Death Celt To Tell Them Goodbye Weeping piteously, Mrs. W. H. Whit aker, only sister of Rober L. Clay, the wife slayer and alleged maniac, condemned to hang Friday on the Tow er gallows, stood today before the barred door of her doomed brother’s cell and pleaded with him to speak to her- —begged for just one word. Clay sat on his bunk witli bowed head and drooped shoulders, his long, unkempt hair falling over his forehead. His emotionless gaze roved about the cell floor. He did not say a word, and not once did he lift his head with a glance of recognition. Beside Mrs. Whitaker stood Mrs. J. A. Clay, sister-in-law of the con demned man, and she, too, wept. Just behind the women were J. A. Clay and J. W. Clay, brothers, who were un able to control their emotion as they peered through the bars and joined the women in trying to get the doomed man to speak. "Bob, speak to us. Don’t you know us?” cried the brothers, but Clay main tained the silence he has broken but once since he was imprisoned last May. While she pleaded at the cell door, a three-year-old boy, son of Mrs. J. A. Clay and nephew of the prisoner, tugged at the dress of his mother and prattled of the strange prison sight. In the event there is no stay in the plans for the execution Friday, this probably Is the last time the relatives will see Robert L. Clay In life. The entire family will appear before Governor Brown tomorrow morning and make a last plea to save the doomed man. THE WEATHER Forecast: Fair tonight and Tues day colder.

GEORGIA LAWS UPHELD DESPITE CRIME, HE Governor Joseph M. Brown returnee! from Richmond and Washington today, where he has been attending the an* nual conference of the national "hous® of governors.” The governor talked most interesting* ly of his trip, and incidentally pays his respects to Governor Cole L. Blease* of South Carolina, whose open advo* cacy of lynch law shocked the gath* ering. Governor Brown administered a tell* ing rebuke to the South Carolinan, and in doing so cited some recent history; to prove that Georgia entertains contrary view. Governor Brown said: Conferences of Governors Valuable. “These annual conferences by the governors of the states are of great value in that they bring the executive officers of the states into personal ac* quaintanceship with each other and en able them in all subsequent correspond ence to have a more intelligent knowl edge of respective views and environ ments than could be the case if they had never met. They enable them to realize more fully the similarity be tween general conditions in the respec tive states and wherever there are laws In one state radically different from those in others to become advised as to whether exceptional conditions have or have not required exceptional laws. "Ultimate uniformity of laws, w-hen* ever practicable, is, of course, the desid* eratum, as such a status tends more and more to a unity of that as well as unity of interest. "Regarding the defense of ‘mob’ lai* by Governor Blease, of South Carolina, concerning which you have asked mo, I will state that I have not talked with a single other governor or a single otheo visitor at the conference w-ho could sea any call for such remarks. “No State Law Condones Crime. ’ ’ "I will venture to say that there is nothing in the constitution of any American state which encourages cr condones crime of any character. All states and all laws among civilized peo ples have for their object the supres* sion of crime by the process of law. -Immediately after Governor Bleasa had concluded his speech I arose and stated that one of the chief factors in securing my last election was my prom ise that I would not abuse the pardon ing power, but, on the contrary, would see that the process of law in the pun ishment of criminals who had been tried In the courts was faithfully up held. I stated that the executive of no state had a monopoly of devotion to the white women of his state or to the> determination to protect them, but that whatever the crime in Georgia we held that the criminal must be punished by the law instead of the mob, that Geor gia did not have to depend upon mobs to punish those who violated her laws. Georgia Militia To Protect Negroes. "I instanced the fact that I had three times sent portions of the military of Georgia to Cumming to protect the laws of Georgia in the custody, trial and execution of negroes convicted of criminal assault that the majesty of the law might be maintained regard less of the character of the crime. I stated In this connection that when ask ed by the judge of the circuit how many troops I could send I had an swered that I would send the entire na tional guard of Georgia If necessary to uphold the laws of the state. "I regard Governor Blease’s advo cacy of ‘mob’ laws as exceedingly un fortunate for the simple reason that in every other state in the American Union the devotion of white men to white women is as sacred as it is in South Carolina and the determination to protect them, or. if needs be, to visit condign punishment upon those who have wronged them, is as deep-seated and irrevocable as it is in South Caro lina. "Every governor with whom 1 talkei and every lady who gave me her opln lon stood as one in advocating iaga process instead of ’mob' law.”
