POLITICS fW
( JAMES B. NEVIN %/L
Mr. McMichael of Marlon Friday
made puz-i-tlvely hie firzt American
appearance as Speaker Pro Tern of
the Georgia House of Representa
tives. and got away with victorious
eagles and things of that sort.
The Speakership Pro Tern carries
no prerogative other than that of
presiding when the Speaker Is absent
from the chair, and. as Mr. Burwell
had not been absent a minute up
to the time of Mr McMichaels par
ticipation In the direction of affairs
in the House, nobody In the House
knew exactly what sort of a Speaker
Pro Tern It had selected, so far aa
hla ability to handle things was con
cerned.
Whatever doubt there may have
been In mind that McMich
ael would get away with things was
speedily removed The gentleman
from Marlon seemed perfectly at
home from the very beginning of
hla Bctlve career a* Speaker Pro
Tern and was warmly applauded by
hla colleagues when he had finished
Round 1
Mr. McMlchatal, by the way, is one
of the beat and moat convincing
speakers on the floor of the House,
and has the happy faculty of making
himself understood perfectly He la
clean-cut In enunciation and exceed
ingly easy to follow
Moreover, he Is very popular among
his fellow members and whatever
he Mays attracts Instant and Inter
ested attention.
Judge John T. Allen Is perhapfl,
the best speaker on the floor of the
Senate And that is no mean com
pliment, either, for there are several
good speakers In that honorable body
Judge Allen not only Is a mighty
good lawyer, but he also is a busi
ness man of widespread reputation.
His voice has great carrying power,
without tn any way being harsh
Whenever he arises to address the
Senate, Is Invariably given close at
tention
Whether one agrees with what he
says or not. Judge Allen never Is
at a loss for words In which to make
himself perfectly plain
Dispensing with the reading of the
journal In the Senate Is not easily
effected. Notwithstanding the fact
that the journal has been examined
and approved, n motion to dispense
with reading rarely gets by without
objection.
The Senate is more dignified than
the House, as a rule, anyway, and
Its methods of procedure are much
more orderly and repressed
It Is an Interesting circumstance
that the Senate Committee on Consti
tutional Amendments has reported
favorably a bill to raise the total of
Senate membership from 44 to 60.
There Is an excellent chance that the
bill will pass, and if it does, the Im
pression is that the people will rat
ify it.

He knows the game, he haa the

ATTORNEYS PASS
LIE AND BLOWS
111 MACON
Solicitor General Ross and Law
yer Harris Clash Over Trial
of Vice Cases.
MACON. July 12.—Attorney Jesse
C. Harris brought about a sudden
adjournment of the special criminal
session of the Bibb Superior Court
yesterday afternoon by calling So
licitor John P. Ross a liar and strik
ing him in the face in the court
room. Harris was fined 350 for con
tempt of court and also censured by
Judge Mathews for his conduct.
Harris represented fifteen women
' of the restricted district who are
charged with operating disorderly
houses. In moving for a continuance
of these cases, he declared that So
licitor Ross would not call the cases
represented by any other lawyers, but
was seeking solely to prosecute those
represented by him (Harris).
“That's a falsehood, your honor,”
interposed the Solicitor.
i "You’re a liar." shouted Attorney
Harris, striking the Solicitor in the
face.
Deputies seized both men imme
diately.
“He's a dirty little scoundrel; let
me hit him once." shouted Solicitor
Ross, but was restrained.
Judge Mathews held that the jury
was prejudiced in the matter of try
ing any of the defendants represent
ed by Harris, and as Solicitor Ross
refused to call any other cases,
though stating that he was prepared
for trial in all of them, the court
was adjourned for the term and all
parties discharged. The Solicitor
stated that Harris represented all of
the prominent defendants, and that
he did not propose to try the lessor
and weaker defendants first. "There
are 'stars' of varying magnitude in
Tybee (the vice district) as well as
in glory," he said.

Widow's Side of Case. "
Attorney Arnold, for Mrs. Crawford,
issued the following statemnet Friday
afternoon:
“There is nothing whatever new in
the recent developments of the Craw
ford case.
"Four years after Crawford’s death
some of the collateral kinpeople of J.
B. Crawford and his first wife, who
are seeking to recover this estate,
worth perhaps 3100,000. from the wid
ow and legatees under Crawford’s
will, went to Carroll County with
their lawyer, J. S. James, and. Dr.
H. F. Harris, and on some kind of
showing which we know nothing of
persuaded the Coroner to exhume the
body and allow the doctor employed
by thees relatives to make a post
mortem examination. Neither the wid
ow nor any of the other legatees who
are defendants had any notice and
were not present.
Claims Lungs Shriveeld.
"The doctor for these people took
various parts of the body of Craw
ford and made a test for morphine.
He claims to have found a trace of
morphine by applying the color test.
He would not swear to any quantity
of morphine or meconic acid and
could not swear as to any quantity
which the deceased took in his life
time.
"This doctor also looked at the
lungs of J. B, Crawford and swore
ttiat they had shriveled up about one
third of their size.
"The presence of the morphine and
meconic acid. Dr. Harris (who was
employed by these collateral kin)
said, indicated that a large quantity
had been taken by the deceased in
his life, but how much more he could
not say. Harris could not swear that
he found more than one-fiftieth of a
grain, and said he made no tast for
quantity.
Tempest in Teapot.
"The whole thing is a tempest tn
a teapot, an effort to make a moun
tain out of a molehill.
"Dr. ojhn W. Hurt, who treated
Crawford for pneumonia in his last
Illness, and the trained expert nurse
who attended him show that Crawford
died of pneumonia. To ease Craw
ford’s severe pain Dr. Hurt had given
him several injections of morphine,
and no secret was made of the fact.
To ease Crawford’s coughing Dr. Hurt
had given him a cough medicine
which contained opium, which was
taken into the stomach.
"This administration of these drugs
by Dr. Hurt, who is a safe and con
servative physician, would account for
vastly more than the trace of mor
phine found in Crawford’s body by
Harris.
Calls Charge Illegal.
"As to Dr. Harris’ opinion that Dr.
Hurt was wrong In diagnosing the
case as pneumonia we will be able to
show by various experts that Dr.-Har
ris' opinion, based on the examination
he made on these shriveled lungs four
years after death Is worthless as com
pared with the opinion of Dr. Hurt
and the trained nurse.
"We propose to try this case in
court in this county and will be satis
fied with the judgment that the court
renders; but in justice to our client we
