Physicians Complain Its Endeav
or Is Confined to Labora
tory Work,
By JAMES B. NEVIN.
The physicians of Georgia are anx
ious to see some legislation effected
in the next general assembly that
will amplify and extend the work of
the Stata Board of Health.
Physicians complain, and many
think Justly so, that the present en
deavor of the State Board of Health
is too cramped, and extends to little
if anything more than laboratory
work. It is hampered, too, of course,
by skimpy appropriations, although
the Legislature, as a rule, inclines
io do the best it can lor the depart
ment.
Certainly, the Board of Health can
do much to carry forward the educa
tion of the masses as to the vital
necessities of sanitation, thereby
avoiding many epidemics and conta
gious diseases, and to the State’s
great advantage, if the incoming Leg
islature will help it a little more ex
tensively than heretofore it has been
helped. Also a complete and intelli
gent system of birth and death regis
trations might be installed.
As a matter of fact, much needful
and also-helpful medical legislation
might be effected fit. Georgia were
the physicians a little bit better pol
iticians and not quite so sternly eth
ical in their efforts to get what they
wish.
Men of the right thinking sort are
perfectly able to understand why
physicians should, seek to maintain
high ideals of ethics, but whenever
they undertake to write their pro
fession.d code too evidently and too
plainly into the statute books, al
most invariably' they fall down.
Their ethical program frequently
is admittedly magnificent, but too
often it is not legislative war.
Nevertheless, the high stand the
physicians have taken for an efficient
and practical State Board of Health
generally is approved throughout
Georgia, and it now seems more than
probable that the incoming general
assembly may be depended upon to
give their ideas effect by enacting
them, or at least, some of them, Into
laws.
The doctors have started off right
this time, anyway:
Judge Fite hasrefused to grant an
injunction tasked by Leon Connally
afia others against the school trus
tees of Trenton, Dade County, thus
bringing up an interesting point in
connection with the State’s local tax
school act, which specifies that local
taxation must get a two-thiras ma-
, jority to become effective in a dis
trict.
The Trenton district three years ago
adopted local taxation and built and
equipped a modern school. The ’act
states that similar elections may be
held every three years, and in the
election held there recently, local
tax advocates polled SO votes, with 34
against,the lax. The ordinary de
clared local tax had carried, and
when the anti-tax men filed an in
junction, Judge Fite refused it by the
following order:
"The . meaning of section 1536 of
the code, under which the election
was held, is to me ambiguous and
uncertain if constitutional (Section
6579’of the code;, and I do not be
lieve that the Legislature intended
to authorize a small minority to
override a large majority and repeal
a law enacted by a two-thtrds ma
jority. T therefore refuse the in
junction.”
Judge Fite holds that while a two-
thirds majority is required for a dis
trict to pass the local tax law, he
doesn’t believe a minority can repeal
the law, once it is established.
The question, which is of interest
all over Georgia, will be carried to
the higher court for an opinion.
"The' right of Governor Brown to
call the Legislature in extraordinary
session, lor the purpose of perfect
ing Senator Bacon’s title to a seat
in the Senate, is unquestioned 1
think,” said a well-known Atlanta
lawyer to-day, “and I do not know
but that it is the best way to do it,
too.
“The popular elections amendment
to the Federal Constitution is not
yet in effect, and the Legislature
very quickly could declare Bacon a
Senator, in the old-fashioned way.
There Is no opposition to him—he is
clearly the Democratic nominee.
"The only objection to calling the
Legislature in special session would
be the expense of it—about $15,000.
But it will cost more than that to
hold a special election for him, and
the legislative way would be much
the quicker.”
Girl With Strange
Mania For Thefts
Stole at College
Miss Annette Dudley Left University
of Tennessee Under Cloud—
Came From Alabama.
KNOXVILLE. TENN., April 18.—
Miss Annette Holme Dudley, the
Southern GirJ, whose mania for petty
thefts is puzzling New York brain
specialists, and whose strange malady
has attracted the sympathetic interest
of Mrs. W. K. Vanderbilt, Sr., came
to Knoxville last year from Wylani,
Ala., in the coal district near Bir
mingham. She entered the University
of Tennessee* to take the'- English
course, with a view to equipping her
self for newspaper work. While at
the university she sought employ
ment on local newspapers, indicating
that it was her purpose to make jour
nalism her life work.
Miss Dudley was a girl of few
friends, it appears. Soon after ner
advent at the university she was. re
garded with suspicion. It is charged
that she took a watch belonging to
another girl and hid it in a closet.
This alleged incident came to the at
tention of officials of the university.
Subsequently she left school and re
turned to her home in Alabama.

Women Fight for Admission to
Libel Action of Lord Douglass
Against Arthur Ransome.
LONDON, April 18.—Society wom
en !n great numbers fought to-day
to get into the High Court building
for the resumption of the libel action
of Lord Alfred Douglass against Ar
thur Ransome, an author, because of
statements made in the latter’s book,
“Oscar Wilde; a Critical Study.”
The court room was packed when
the trial was resumeed. Lord Alfred
Douglass continued making passion
ate protests against the reading of
letters which passed between him and
his friend Wilde.
Many Missives Read.
Despite the protests, however, many
letters, some of them spicy in the ex
treme, were read. When Lord Al
fred objected because a forgotten
scandal was being brought up, Jus
tice Darling reminded him that he
had brought the suit.
Lord Alfred Douglass is a brother
of the Marquis of ^ueensberry. His
charge is that Mr. Ransome’s book
accused' him as the" mati to whom
Wilde felt he owed some of the cir
cumstances of his disgrace. The
plaintiff testified that at the time
he was Wilde’s chum he had no re
ligion, but said that since Wilde’s

whose term began l^st November.
He has ^erved considerably over one-
third of his term.
death he had become a Roman Cath
olic.
Wilde Great Spender.
Speaking of Wilde's extravagance,
he said: “You could give him $1,500
on a Staurday night and on Monday
morning he would be around looking
for breakfast mopey.”
Lord Alfred Douglass in his testi
mony entered into a dissertation on
British morals, declaring that "vice
is rampant in the English public
schools and that every one knows that
it gets worse every day.”
He declared that he meant to make
it his mission to stop it.
