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. High Cost of Dying Cut by Funeral Bus CHICAGO, July 22.—The high cost of dying is to be lowered In Chicago with the advent of motor 'buses.

V » — ■ V She says it will not do for Atlanta beauties at all. v T ,V-. _ A ‘ V- U,: Retailers’ President Declares Business Is Better and Geor gia Is Forging Into Lead. "Dixie is bubbling over with pros perity.” That is the characteristic way in 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. "This is a business meeting of busi. 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 "We are In an era of good business that is unrivaled. Competition is keen, but it is also true that compe tition is the life of trade and prog ress. From all parts of the State come encouraging assertions that'this year has been a little better than last Even a little Is better than no Increase at all. But I am inclined to believe that business this year Is Infinitely more than a little better than last in all lines.” Slit Skirt 0. K. If There Is No Ogling CINCINNATI, July 22.—Chief Copelan announced to-day that Cin cinnati women may wear the near slit skirts without police interference, provided their garments doesn’t cause riots or blocking of traffic. "I am trusting to the good sense and modesty that I have always ob served among Cincinnati women to prevent them from wearing indecent garments,” said Chief Copelan. "I do not set myself up as a dress censor, anyway. So long as the wom en do not raise a riot, they can dress as they please.” 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.

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. ‘Cherry Pie’ Made Of Watermelons CHICAGO - , July 22.—"David and Solomon and some other patriarchs were excellent men as judged by the standards of their own time, but they would not be admitted to member ship in the church of to-day," said the Rev.
