Members of Old Guard Say Cum
mins Is Hasty and Is Likely
to Hurt Party.
WASHINGTON, May 9.—Old line
Republicans to-day expressed in
strong; terms their antagonism to the
Independent action of Senator Cum
mins of Iowa a lid other members of
the progressive' wing of that party
in calling a conference in Chicago to-
f morrow. They declined to approve
the plan and declared that the Cum
mins contingent was laying the party
open to another split.
Senator Gallfnger of New' Hamp
shire, minority leader of the Senate,
said:
“I think the Cummins conference in
premature, and when the time comes
Jo recognize the Republican party i
'shall certainly follow the men who
made the party rather than those who
helped to wreck it”
Senator Smoot of Utah declared
“that neither Senator Cummins nor
any other Progressive can reorganize
tne Republican party.”
Senator Stephenson of Wisconsin
was of the opinion that the Cummins
conference presaged another party
split. “They w r recked the party,” he
said bitterly, “and now they are try
ing to damn it.”
Senator Penrose of Pennsylvania
said that it would be better to post
pone • the Cummins conference now
and to hold it later under the regu
lar Republican banner.
In the House the old line Repub
licans. from Minority Leader Mann to
the latest incumbent of office, viewed
the conference with disapproval.

Recreation Congress Speaker De
clares Vigorous Games Are
Character Developers.
RICHMOND, VA.. May 9—Too
1 much distinction is made between
boys and girls, in their play, their
work and their educational training
This was the text of an address by
Mrs. Charles T. Weller, of Lawrence,
Kansas, at the morning session of
the Recreation Congress.
“Many people begin, in his baby
hood, to train the boy away from
the gentler side of life by taking
away his doll. letter they teach
him that certain home duties belong
to the girl; and since the boy’s work
—such as cutting wood and drawing
w-ater—no longer has a place In the
city household, he grows up without
sense of responsibility and devotion
toward his own home when he has
one.
“The girl, on the other hand, Is
constantly repressed and. because her
faults are not dramatic like those of
her brother, her elders fail to realize
that she needs broad training to free
her from the narrowness and petti
ness of women, which has been the
Jest jbf the ages.
“Vigorous sports, especially games,
are found to develop Just those char
acteristics in which women are lack
ing.
‘ Let the girls play hard sometimes
and forget themselves. Quieter sport
—music, literature, art—have their
very important place for the girl; and
quite as much for the boy. For with
this all-round training each may be
gentle and each may be strong when
occasion demands it; and together
they may round out a fuller, more
w’holesome life for the race.

Repairing of Dolls
Quite a Business.
"Doll* Repaired Quickly and Cheap
ly."
.That sign prominently displayed at
a point on Peachtree Street, by which
thousands of people pass daily, is one
likely to attract the attention of little
folks—girls, of course—whose dol!i?f
are in need of such necessaries ns
eyes, hair/hands and feet.
"You'd be surprised,” said the old !
gentleman who answers when anyon-M
makes inquiry concerning the sign. I
"the number of dolls that we repair!
every day. My whole family is en .
gaged in the business. It Is a quee I
thing about child nature, but girls - |
the little ones, you know—become so
attached to their dolls that when they
wear out the children are almost in
consolable. They like a new doll, of
course, but nothing can take the place
of the old one in their ohlldish affec
tions. That’s where our business
comes in. We take the old doll, pui
new feet and hands on it, insert an
eve if one is needed and, in fact, fix
Miss Dollie up so that she looks like a
new one. But to its. little 'mother' It
is still the same old Polly Hopkins,
or Susan or Mary, as the case may he.
It really does my heart good to see the
little folks when their mothers bring
them to my place to get the rejuve •
nated dollie. They co into raptures
over the made-over toy, and their
outbursts are evidences of genuine
affection. ‘Mothe#-love,’ I suppose you
newspaper fellows call it.”
How Window Dressers
Keep Track of Pins.
"I'll bet," said one of two men who
had paused before the display window
of a Whitehall Street department
store while the window dresser was at
work "that it was a woman who in
vented the filing that chap has fas
tened to his left arm.”
His attention having been called io
it. the other man took a squint at the
object. It was a pincushion about
three inches square fastened to a
wfide elastic band—like a garter—
which was passed around the arm just
above the elbow. The cushion was
filled with all sorts of pins—small
ones and large ones; some plain and
some black.
As lie worked, arranging pieces of
cloth here and there to give the de
sired fold effect, the dresser had occa
sion to use countless pins. They were
always right at his hand.
"When 1 w'as a young man,” re
marked one of the onlookers, "I used
to dress windows and I carried a
mouthful of pins all the time. The
danger of swallowing them, however,
was great, and I never cared mu.’ii
for the job. This fellow' has the prob
lem solved, but if he's married, I’ll bet
his wife invented it. No mere man
would ever think of that pincushion
affair.”
The Story of Two Boys
And What They Have Done.
"1 was reading in The Georgian the
other day,” said the doctor, "when my
attention was attracted by an article
concerning some bequests made to
education by Mrs. G. P. Dodd. In
stantly I remembered two young fel
lows who used to live in Atlanta and
with whom I attended the Boys’ High
School. They were Phil and Karl
Ackerman, sons of Mrs. Fannie Ack
erman, w ho was a sister of Mrs. Dod 1,
and to whom Mrs. D<gld left a be
quest. The Ackerman boys lived wiih
their uncle on Whitehall Street be
tween Cooper and Windsor. Both were
real geniuses, and both were en
amored of the stage—not as actors,
mind you, but as managers and pro
ducers. In the basement of the DoJ.I
home they had fitted up a scenic stu
dio and there in 1891 they built the
scenery for 'Xonia, or the Fairy
Queen,' a spectacular play which they
presented at Concordia Hall, then on
Marietta Street.
"The cast was made up of local
young folks and the play was put on
in admirable style. There was no end
of trick scenery, all designed, built-,
and painted by the Ackerman boys.
Phil played the part of an Irishman,
Earl was a 'demon’ and the part of i
clown was played by Cliff Saul, broth
er of Milt Saul, who is publicity man
ager for the Georgia Railway and
Power Company. Another member of
the company was Henry Franklin,
now a staid Atlanta business man,
an officer of a big hardware concern.
Artisticaly, ‘Xonia’ was a success. 11
am not certain about its financial sue
cess,
"Soon after this Mrs. Ac kerman an 1
her sons removed to New York, and
ihe boys evidently kept in touch with
things theatrical, because Bob’ Good
man, another Atlanta boy who has I
risen to heights in stage affairs, told
me not long ago that Phil and Earl
Ackerman are the owners of one of
the largest secnic studios in Brook
lyn."
Court Halts Work on
Concrete Structure
Debtors File Petition Against Owners
of Building at Linden Avenue
and Peachtree.
Work on the concrete building at
Linden and Peachtree Streets was
halted to-day, as a result ot a peti
tion. filed Thursday afternoon by the
Mackle-Crawford Company.
The petition asked that the Penn
Mutual Life Insurance Company and
Mrs. Mary Potts be enjoined from
doing further construction work on
the building, pending payment of
$4,4S3 which the Mackle-Crawford
Company claims is due it for con
crete framework of the building
The petition maintained that fur
ther work on the building would con
ceal the work done by the company
and render proof difficult.
Kirk Declares Statement That He
Made Raided House His
Headquarters Is False.
Policeman James Kirk, a member
of Chief Beavers’ “vice squad.” Fri
day mornins emphatically denied the
charges of improper conduct made
against him by Mrs. N. 1*. Powell,
Mrs. Lena Bernard and Mrs. John
Bryant, whom Kirk, with a squad of
polit e, arrested last w'eek on a charge
of running a disorderly house at 95
Spring Street.
The charges have no foundation,”
he said. ”1 went to Mrs. Powell and
her husband, and told them if tr»e>
didn’t get rid of the women they had
staying there and shut up their place,
W’e would arrest th e m. Both the wom
an and Powell told me they would
UmiUv me women leave anu quit run
ning the kind of a house that Chief
Beavers has ordered out of the city.
We watched the place for several
nights, and saw from five to fifteen
men going in and out of the place
every night.
"When we saw that they continued
to run the house we raided them.
There were four men there at the
time, but they escaped by Jumping
out of the windows. The women have
been held to the Grand Jury.
“The statement that I made the
place my headquarters is a falsehood,
pure and simple. Mrs. Powell. Mrs.
Bernard and Mrs. Bryant are known
to the police. They have been ar
rested numerous times.”
The hearing of the injunction
which Mrs. Powell, through her at-^
torneys, Gober ft Jackson, got from
Judge Bell to restrain the police from
evicting her, will be held Saturday
morning.

Are You Subject
To Constipation
Here is a Simple Way of Cor
recting It Instantly Before
It Becomes Chronic
>
( Very few people go through life
without some time or other being
troubled witfi constipation. Thou
sands injure themselves by the use
of strong cathartics, salt mineral
waters, pills and similar things.
They have temporary vafue In some
cases, it Is true, but the good ef
fect Is soon lost, and the more one
takes of them the less effective
they become.
A physic or purgative is seldom
necessary, and much* better and
) more permanent results can be ob-
‘ tatnod by using a scientific remedy
like Dr. Caldwell’s Syrup Pepsin.
It does not hide behind a high
sounding name, but is what It la
represented to be, a mild laxative
medicine. It is so mild that thou
sands of mothers give It to tiny
infants, and yet it is so compound
ed, and contains such definite In
gredients that it will have equally
good effect when used by a person
suffering from the worst chronic
constipation. In fact, among the
greatest indorsers of Syrup Pep
sin are elflerly people who have
suffered for years and found noth
ing to benefit them until they took
Syrup Pepsin.
It is a fact that millions of fam
ilies have Syrup Pepsin constant
ly In the house, homes like those
of Mrs. G. B. Pruitt, Berea. Ky.,
who used Dr. Caldwell’s Svrup
Pepsin as a laxative tonic. Mrs.
Pruitt writes that it so strength
ened and cleansed her system that
she was quickly relieved of a severe
cough which had troubled her for
months. The special value of this
MRS G B PRUITT,
grand laxative tonic is that it is
suited to the needs of every mem
ber of the family. It is pleasant j
tasting, mild and non-griping. Un
like harsh physics, it wo^ks grad
ually and In a very brief time the
stomach and bowel muscles are J
trained to do their work naturally 1
again, wffien all medicines can be
dispensed W’ith.
You can obtain a bottle at any
drug store for fifty cents or one
dollar. The latter size is usually
bought by families who already
know its value. Results are always
guaranteed or money will be re
funded.
If no member of your family has ]
ever used Syrup Pepsin and you
would like to make a personal trial |
of It before buying it in the reg
ular way of a druggist, send your ;
address—a postal will do—to Dr.
W. B. Caldwell. 417 Washington St..
Monticello, Ill., and a free sample
bottle will be mailed you.
