Strong Pressure on Committee Is
Reported to Have Caused
Change of Opinion.
WASHINGTON, April 30, The
House resumed the tariff grind to-day
with the expectation of sitting until
11 o’clock to-night. Majority Leader
Underwood is confident the bill can
be passed by Thursday week, and he
is determined to keep the legislative
wheels in motion until the marathon
orators capitulate. Democratic mem
bers are taking only a perfunctory in
terest in the proceedings, and most
of the debate comes from the Repub
lican side of the House.
It was predicted to-day that when
the agricultural schedule is reported
the Ways and Means Committee will
accept an amendment putting cattle
on the free list. Meat already has
been made free and there has been a
strong agitation for free cattle.
The committee has heretofore fav
ored a duty on cattle by the narrow
rfiargin of one vote, and it was re
ported several of the committeemen
had expressed a change of heart.

which was presented to her by the
King of Italy in commemoration of
her work at the time of the Messina
disaster. She has worn gowns of red
and ruby velvet and chiffon all
winter.
Miss Katherine Elkins frequently
wears yellow and cream lace gowns
to set off her magnificent topaz or
naments.

general of the D. A. R., in an inter
view published here to-day, declares

NEGRO PUGILIST ON
TRIAL AS A SLAVER
This “Cop” is Friend
Of the Children.
“There is a policeman in Atlanta,”
said a business man on the car this
morning, “who certainly has made a hit
with children living on his beat. He
carries a big jackknife that he’s al
ways ready to lend to any boy; has a
key to tighten roller skates and arbi
trates childish disputes in the neigh
borhood. The children obey him to the
very letter. He never has any trouble
with them, and their mothers have just
about turned the matter of training over
to this good natured officer.
“Not long ago this policeman fell ill
and there was consternation among the
children on his beat. The second day
he was missing from his old haunts a
delegation of boys and girls, each with
a small bouquet, called at the sick of
ficer’s home with a message of hope
that he would soon be well. And he
told me yesterday that his recovery
from that time was rapid. I think it
would break his heart If he should be
transferred to some other beat. He’s
married and Bad two children, but both
of them died, and I suppose that is why
he Is so fond of the youngsters on his
beat. He calls them all “his kids,” and
they look up to him as they would a
big brother of whom they are very
fond.”
He Drew the Line
At Foreman’s Dog.
While waiting for the curtain to ring
up on the first number, one of the
comedians at the Forsyth this week
told this story in the green room last
night:
“Pat had been at work for three days
digging a well, and as the foreman
wanted it finished within the week he
had promised Pat another man to help
him. It was getting on to 11 o’clock,
and Towser, the foreman's bulldog, was
looking over the edge of the pit, when
Pat said to himself. ‘I’ll have a smoke.’
“He had filled his pipe and was about
to light It. when he glanced up and be
held Towser’s handsome features.
“Slowly removing his pipe from his
mouth, he said:
“ ‘Be-gorra. Oi’ve wor-rked wid Ger
mans and Hoongarians and Oi-ve worked
wid oitalians. but If a man wid a face
like that comes down here to w'ork be
side me Oi gets up.’ ”
Judge Swooned
At This Answer.
When Atlanta lawyers get together
at the court house a good many anec
dotes and humorous stories are told.
Here’s one that a well known attorney
told the other morning while waiting for
court to open:
“Taking the witness in hand the law
yer for the defense cast upon him the
piercing eye and asked:
“ ‘Did you have your nails polished
by a blonde lady on Tuesday morning?’
“ ‘I refuse to answer,’ was the prompt
reply of the witness.
‘ ‘Didn’t you have your hands mas
saged by the same blonde lady on Wed
nesday afternoon?’ was the next ques
tion of the lawyer.
“ ‘I refuse to answer,’ said the wit
ness, emphatically.
“ ‘Didn’t you have your nails polished
by the same blonde lady on Thursday
afternoon?’ persisted the lawyer.
“ ‘I refuse to answer,’ came defiantly
from the witness.
“ ‘Just a moment.’ interjected the
judge, with a stern glance at the wit
ness. ‘Why do you refuse to answer?’
“ ‘Because,’ was the smiling reply of
the witness, ‘he asks to'o manicurious
questions.’ ”
Conspiracy Similar to That Which
Resulted in King Manuel’s
Overthrow Exposed.
Special Cable to The Atlanta Georgian.
MADRID, April 30.—A conspiracy
in the Portuguese navy, similar to
that which resulted in the overthrow
of King Manuel and the setting up of
a republic in Portugal, was discovered
to-day, according to a telegram from
Lisbon.
Seven sailors on board the Portu
guese cruiser S.io Gabriel in the Te-
gus Harbor were arrested while try
ing to signal friends on shore, and
later one of them confessed that a
plot existed to turn the navy into the
hands of the royalists.
A Government message said that
order had been restored, following
three days of intermittent, rioting, but
admitted that the situation still is
critical.
Shortly after midnight a number of
small boats filled with armed civilians
surrounded th e cruiser Republica and
attempted to rescue the military ahd
political prisoners on board. Sentries
on the ship fired upon the would-be
rescuers and the boats drew off in
disorder.
‘Flat Sweet Flat'
Can’t Bring Tears

of ’Home, Sweet Home.' Says
New York Educator.
WASHINGTON, April 30.—"Chil
dren brought up In apartments miss

You may shed tears over ‘Home,
Sweet Home,' but you can’t extract

University of New York, in an ad
dress before the International Kin
dergarten.
“Saloons will go when people stop
building hospitals at the bottom of
dangerous cliffs and put’ walls around
the tups.
“Public opinion, the greatest force
for good, was never weaker than it
is in this country.”
CHICAGO, April 30.—A new inves
tigation of Mann white slave act vio
lations charged against Jack Johnson,
the negro pugilist, was under wa> to
day. The Federal Grand Jury, which

dence against Johnson, heard “Yank”

Approaching
Baldness
May be
Checked
By Using:
Herpi
cide*
The above expression is one which
is used frequently in connection with
hair preparations. Just exactly what
is meant by It in euch instance is a
question. Baldness is not a disease
and hence does not permit of a cure.
It is a result Invariably to be traced
to the dandruff germ and if the con
dition has become chronic, that Is. if
there is complete atrophy of the hair
follicles, a “cure" is absolutely im
possible. _ „
Approaching baldness, seen in fall
ing hair, may always be checked and
if the hair follicles are not atrophied
the hair may be induced again to
grow.
This is accomplished by regular
applications of Newbro’s Herpicide,
which cleanses the scalp and elimi
nates the dandruff. Checking the ac
cumulations of scarf skin removes the
most common enemy to beautiful
hair.
Soft, glossy, fluffy hair can not
grow on a scalp infested with dan
druff any more than a delicate plant
can grow on an ash heap. The scalp
must be kept clean and free from
dandruff. The best remedy for do
ing this is Newbro’s Herpicide, which
receives the highest indorsements
from professional men, the stage and
the best people everywhere.
Newbro’s Herpicide in 50c and $1
sizes is sold by all dealers who guar
antee it to do all that is claimed.
If you are not satisfied your money
will be refunded.
Applications obtained at all first-
class barber shops and hair dressing
parlors.
Address the Herpicide Company,
Dept. R. t Detroit, Mich., inclosing 10c
in postage or silver for sample and
booklet.
