All-Night Debate.
SACRAMENTO, May 3. The <'«H-
fornla Assembly to-day voted unan
imously to suspend the constitutional
procedure and put the Senate antl-
alien land bill for a final vote without
the first and second readings. This
action was taken when majority lead
ers in the lower House received word
from Governor Johnson that he de
sired this plan carried out.
Democrats In the Assembly at first
opposed the Governor's plan, Hut later
voted with the Republicans and Pro
gressives.
SACRAMENTO, May 3. The Cali
fornia Senate, by a vote of 35 to 2,
early to-day passed the Birdsall-
Thompson bill prohibiting the owner
ship of land for agricultural purposes
In California by aliens not eligible for
citizenship in the United States. The
measure permits a three-year lease
hold by aliens. It was adopted after
an all-night session.
Secretary of State Bryan had re

His secretary, Robert P. Rose, said
Mr. Brvan would dec ide to-day when
he will leave for the E%st. The ac
tion of the Senate was considered
a partial victory for Secretary Bryan,

"If ii were a choice between health

Make the child healthy; then educate
bun." \\a- the terse comment by Dr.
T R Abercrombie, Inspector for the
State Board of Health, before the
association this morning.
••The child's health comes before
everything else; conditions that sur
round him and the condition of his
physical being for the development of
his mental qualities are most impor
tant factors," he continued. "Too often
the citlld'has been developed mentally
when hi? physical part was absolutely
unfit. The great problem lies In mak
ing him fit physically and then to de
velop his mentality.
■‘A rigid campaign along this line
1s what is needed. Teachers have
been educated to the need of health
among children. It remains for the
State to follow up this work."
Dr. Abercrombie’s address was lis
tened to attentively. One of the
strongest features of the Georgia Ed
ucation! Vssociatlon since its organ
isation has been the promotion of
children's health.

CARDIFF. WALES, May 3—The
strike of Welsh coal miners in pro
test against the open shop policy of
the mine owners is spreading to a
serious extent. Fifty-five thousand
men were out to-day.
Leaders of the miners' union expect
a speedy victory, because many of
the mine owners have already prom
ised to hire no more non-union men.
This is compelling non-unionists to
join the organization.

New York Justice Does Not Take
Kindly to Artifices of Modern
Feminine Dress.
Ye women of Atlanta, have a
ca re!
The judicial temperament, like
the Cole B lease lemperament,
does not take kindly to the ar-
tiflccs and blandishments of mod
ern dress.
Listen to thin story from New
York:
Supreme Court Justice Gavegan
looked over his spectacles in Part
XIV of the Supreme Court and scowl
ed at a dainty pair of pearl gray silk
stocking®.
The hosiery was displayed upon the
foet of Mrs. Rachael N. Ducas. a
pretty wife of Benjamin P. Ducas, a
wealthy manufacturer. Mrs. Ducas
sitting at the table of her coun
sel. her feel crossed.
• I want to say,” the Court began
gravely, "that the young lady in black
there is disrespectful to this Court.
If she wishes me to be more explicit.
I will say for her benefit that her
lower limbs are insufficiently clad.
She Is making far too free an exhibi
tion of them in a public place.”
Mrs. Ducas promptly pulled her
hobble skirt down over the silver
buckles on her slippers and kept
her feet under her chair during the
Coroner Conditionally Accepts the
Earl of Cottenham’s Story That
Wife’s Death Was Accident.
Special Cable to The Atlanta Georgian.
HENLEY. ENGLAND, May 3.—
Deep mystery surrounds the violent
death of the Countess of Cottenham,
wife of Charles E. P. Kenelme, Earl
of Cottenham. whose body was found
in a thicket near Goring. She had
been shot to death. The case was
supposed to be one of murder, al
though the authorities said that the
countess might have shot herself.
The maiden name of the Couiuess
of Cottenham was Lady Rose Nevill,
daughter of the Marquis of Aberga
venny. She was married to the Earl
of Cottenham in 1899. They had three
children.
Absence Leads to Search.
The protracted absence of the
countess from her home led to a
search, and the body, pierced with a
bullet, was found in a clump of un
derbrush in the thicket.
There was some delay in calling
the author! teis into the case when the
police began their inquiry. A theory
was advanced that the countess had
either been lured to the lonely spot or
else in a fit of despondency had re
paired to the copse to end her life.
There was no evidence of a struggle
at the scene of death, but the ground
was hard, and it was argued that it
would require extreme exertions to
dig up the turf.
Family Denies Quarrel.
Members of the family denied there
had been any Ill-feeling of late be-
tweeikthe earl and his wife.
The Earl of Cottenham was the
countess’ second husband. Her first
husband was John Blundell Leigh, a
rich land owner. Mr. Blundell se
cured a divorce in 1899. Within a few
months Mrs. Blundell became the
Countess of Cottenham.
The divorce suit of Colonel Leigh,
who was an officer of the guards,
was one of the biggest scandals which
has stirred English society in t'ns
past twenty years. The Earl of Cot
tenham was named as co-respondent.
Highly sensational testimony was In
troduced at the trial.
Coroner Accepts Earl’s Story.
At the inquest the earl testified
that he found his wife's body. He
advanced the opinion that his wire
had tripped and fallen and that her
firearm had then been accidentally
discharged.
As there was no witness to the
tragedy, the coroner decided to ac
cept this theory with reservation that
the case might be reopened if fresh
evidence were secured.
This picture is odd. Running for
three days in The Georgian without
any comment, it has caused endless
discussion as to who it is and what it
is. The Georgian has been besieged
with telephone calls and letters from
its readers asking for an explanation.
We do not wonder that you had some
doubt as to why it is here. This is
the answer:
The Georgian has purchased a
serial story, more interesting
than any Atlanta has had in
years. This picture typifies the
story.
Based on the picture, what in
your judgment is the title or
ought to be of this story? Five
dollars in gold will be paid to each
of the five best literary judgments
received.
The title of the story has al
ready been selected, and it is now
in a sealed envelope in the hands
of T. J. Peeples, cashier of the
American National Bank.
The answers will be judged
upon their originality, their liter
ary valine and upon their analyt
ical clearness.
Address all answers to "Litera
ry Editor, The Georgian," Atlanta.
