TO PUSH DIG
[[ ATLANTA BALKS AT NOSE VeIl
MUST SEE ALL OF PRETTY FACE
DIXIE IS DELUGED FREED, FORMER
Decks Cleared in House and Ap-
priation Measure Will Go to
Senate This Week.
When Chairman Wheatley, of the
House Appropriations Committee,
calls up the general appropriations
bill to-day he will ask that it be
ma*3e a continuing order until it is
disposed of in the House and sent to
the Senate.
The chairman of the Appropriations
Committee has the extraordinary
right under the rules of the House of
calling up his bill whenever he
pleases, and it must have the right
of way.
Chairman Wheatley has determined
to exercise his right to the limit, and
to that end has invited and obtained
the promise of Speaker Burwell's
earnest and sincere support in putting
the bill through.
Trying to Push It Along.
It is the purpose of Chairman
Wheatley and the Speaker to have the
general appropriations bill in the
hands of the Senate at least by the
end of this week, and if they succeed
they will have the bill in the Senate
earlier than it has been since the war,
and at least ten days earlier than it
has been in thirty years.
When the big bill comes up the
House will immediately be resolved in
a committee of the whole House, with
some member other than the Speaker
presiding, as the rules require.
The chairman of the Committee of
the Whole House has not yet been an
nounced. but it is likely it will be Mr
McMichael, of Marion, or Mr. Miller,
of Bibb.
Both are experienced parliamenta
rians and either would make a fit and
proper person for the work. Both are
behind the effort to get the appropria
tion bill Into the hands of the Gov
ernor well in advancq of adjournment,
as the Governor has requested.
General Tax Act Next.
The bill carries the constitutional
appropriations, statehouse salaries
and the like, which can not he
changed by the House, in full, and
these items will be quickly disposed
of.
The other items will go In in blank,
to be filled in by the committee of the
whole.
Immediately after the general # ap-
propriatlons bill is disposed of the tax
revision bill and the general tax act
will come into the House from the
Ways and Means Committee, when
at the request of Chairman Aiken,
those bills also will be given the right
of way. Both should be in the hands
of the Senate before the end of next
week.
Speed Assured in Senate.
If this is accomplished, another
House record will be smashed.
The chairmen of the two big com
mittees and the Speaker of the House
have been assured by a large major
ity of the House that they will be
co-operated with in their efforts to
expedite legislation.
In the Senate President Anderson
Is but watting for the House meas
ures in order that he may duplicate
there the program of orderly haste to
be enacted in the House. He has as
surance of co-operation from a prac
tically solid Senate.

Business Is Better and Geor
gia Is Forging Into Lead.
"Dixie is bubbling over with pros
perity.”

which J. W. S. Hardy, of Way cross,
president of the Retail Merchants
Association, defined commercial con
ditions in the South when seen by
The Georgian at the association’s
convention neadquarters in the Hotel
Ansley.
"But we can better the present con
dition and our merchants in all parts
of Georgia have come to the realiza
tion that by individual effort and
plugging In the right direction we can
make Georgia the foremost State in
the Union.” declared Mr. Hardy.
"To this end the convention was
called." said Mr. Hardy, "to meet In
Atlanta while the Legislature is in
session, so that merchants can be in
close touch with their Represents
tlves and exercise every Influence in
their power to get them to support
and vote for the garnishment and
fraudulent check bills.

ness men, and in no sense is it for
the purpose of boosting Atlanta in
terests. Its only purpose is to work
for the best interests of the mer
chants of Georgia

Career of Cardenio F. King, Pro
moter, Begun Here, Closes in
Massachusetts Cell.
The climax of a. sensational career
that started in Atlanta several years
ago cam-* at the State farm at Bridge-
water, Mass., Monday night, when
Cardenio F. King, once a newspaper
man and promoter of this city, but
later a well-known figure in Boston
financial circles, died a convict while
Governor Foss was preparing to grant
him a pardon.
King was well known in Atlanta,
and many of his schemes are re
membered here. He came to this city
number of years ago and engaged
in newspaper work. After a short
time, however, he forsook the news
paper business to embark in a num
ber of promotion schemes, few of
which turned out successfully.
Convicted in Boston.
He spent several years here, with
varying financial success, then re
turned to North Carolina. Later he
went to Boston, where he became in
volved in the schemes that brought
about his arrest and conviction.
King was prevented from dying a
free man only by a legal technicality
which made it impossible for the
Governor of Massachusetts to grant
a pardon over the telephone. King
had been suffering from an incura
ble disease for several months, and
word that his condition was hopeless
was sent to the Governor Monday
morning.
Pardon Came Too Late.
Late in the afternoon Mrs. King,
who was at the bedside of her hus
band, received the news that the Gov
ernor had decided to grant her hus
band a pardon.
Attorney General Swift ruled that
the pardon could not be granted by
telephone, and Governor Foss sent
word to the State farm that the pa
pers would be signed early Tuesday
morning. Dr. Emerson, medical head
of the State farm, hurried to Bridge-
water with the news, but found that
King was dead.
Accused Lawson at Trial.
King began his operations in Bos
ton in 1904, shortly after leaving At
lanta. In 1908 he was forced into
bankruptcy, when his customers com
plained that stocks they had pur
chased from him had never been de
livered. A warrant for his arrest was
issued and he surrendered in June of
1908. He was convicted and sen
tenced to serve from ten to fourteen
years.
He began his term at Charlestown,
but became ill and was removed to
Bridgewater. During his trial King
created a sensation by declaring that
Thomas W. Lawson, the Boston car -
I ltalist, had driven him to financial
1 ruin.

the effort to obtain requisition papers
for Fred Lumb, the barber alleged
to be an accomplice of Mrs. Mary
Crawford, and who Is said to be in

Attorney J. S. James, counsel for the
Crawford heirs, announced that the
papers would be asked for after the
appointment of a solicitor.
The application of Monday morn
ing was not a formal request for the
papers. According to Attorney James
he simply asked Governor Slaton if
it would be possible to obtain requi
sition papers for a mart before he was
indicted. This request, he says, he
made several days ago. and Governor
Slaton said he would advise him Mon
day morning.
As Colonel James had made no for
mal application, the Governor advised
him that he could not make a deci
sion.

noon asked Attorney Lewis Thomas
to act as Solicitor in the place of
Hugh Dorsey, who is disqualified to

Fair Sponsor of Arabian Style
Admits New Fad Is Doomed
Here.
Says Modern Man
Excels Patriarchs
At last Dame Fashion seems to have
overstepped the line in freakish wear
ing apparel for women, so far as At
lanta is concerned.
The Arabian nose veil, an importa
tion now much in vogue in Newport
and other Eastern centers of all that
is fashionable, has met a sharp re
buff here.
The veil in use is drawn taut over
the tip of the nose and covers the
mouth and chin. One sees but the
eyes of the wearer, Mrs. French
Vanderbilt, Mrs. William Goadby and
others are its sponsors in the East.
Miss Nancy Reed, a former At
lanta girl, now visiting Mrs. George
Spier in Twelfth street, is among the
first here to attempt the nose veil.
"It won’t do for Atlanta girls," she
declared, and her decision seems to
have been sustained, especially by
the men of the city, who enjoy seeing
all of a pretty face.

Refuses to Sign $19 Voucher for
Use of Very Machine That
Trapped Him.
Mayor Woodward again is refusing
to sign checks.
From the Police Department has
come a voucher for $19 to pay the
expense of the very dictograph that
entrapped Mayor Woodward, Colonel
T. B. Felder and others In the Wil
liams House No. 2. Chairman A. R.
Colcord, of the Council Police Com
mittee, hesitated at approving this
voucher and Mayor Woodward scoffs
at the idea of him signing the check.
Also, he explained, he is not in
clined to throw away $5 on an option
on an electric feature to the new
crematory. He sent the resolution
providing this back to Council with
out acting on It. The lower branch
of Council passed it up again by a
vote of 15 to 2.
Although Council easily overrode
Mayor Woodward the thirty-third
time on the tax office merger issue

islature to become effective. It will
have to be attached as a rider to the
other charter amendments and then
submitted to a vote, of the people
