LEADERS AGREE
TD PUSH BIG
FI
Decks Cleared in House and Ap-
priation Measure Will Go to
Senate This Week.
When Chairman Crawford, of the
House Appropriations Committee,
calls up the general appropriations
bill to-day he will ask that it be
made 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 t oPush 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 hill comes up the
House will immediately be resolved In
8 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.
Roth are experienced parliamenta
rians and either would makf* a flt 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 advance 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 be
changed by the House, in full, and
these items will he quickly disposed
of.
The other items will go in in blank,
to he filled in by the committee of the
whole.
Immediately after the general ap-
proiatlons 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 Tight
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 hut waiting 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.
Again, Out Again, In!
In Jail, Out Again, In
MACON, July 22.—Put in jail for
failure to pay alimony, released on
bond, surrendered by his bondsman
and thrust back in a cell, released by
one judge on a writ of habeas corpus,
only to be sent to jail again by an
other judge for continued insuffi
ciency of bond, such has been the ex
perience of J. C. Brooks, a railroad
conductor, during the last week.
Judge Hodges in the City Court on
Monday granted a writ of habeas
corpus in his favor, but five minutes
later Brooks was rearrested on an
other warrant sworn out by Mrs.

who has obtained an alimony decree
and is now' suing him for divorce.
The hearing in this latest case w'ill
take place this afternoon.

tain the right to practice in the courts
of Georgia received a boost Monday

Photographers of
U. S. May Come to
Atlanta Next Year
KANSAS CITY, MO., July 22.—With
a dozen boosters putting forth the
brand of effort that captured the big
Shrlners’ convention. Atlanta’s
chances of getting the next gathering
of the Photographers’ Association of
America, now in session here, are
growing better every hour.
The Atlantans have opened an of
fice in the convention hall and a dis
play in the lobby of the Hotel Balti
more, where the delegates are enter
tained and provided with literature
descriptive of the Gate City. There
are about 800 delegates here now,
with several hundred more coming.
Harry Goodhart, L». D. Hicks and
FVed Houser, who head the Atlanta
delegation, are confident that the
Georgia city will secure the next con
vention.
Mr. Goodhart declared this morning
that “there is nothing to it but Atlan
ta. I have talked to several hundred
delegates and they all want to come
to the ‘New York of the South.’”

boosters are expected in Atlanta

Convention to discuss the formation
of a state Chamber of Commerce will

Atlanta Chamber. The invitations
have been awarded by city officials
and officers of commercial organiza

‘Doc’ Stork Alights
In Pullman Berth
LOUISVILLE, July 22.—The stork
presented Mrs. D. J. Jones, of John
son City, Tenn., with a girl baby
while on a westbound Southern Rail
way train to join her husband at Col
orado Springs.
The youngster arrived en route, be
tween North Vernon, Ind., and Fair-
field, Ill. The train was backed to
North Vernon, and the mother and
baby were taken to a hospital. The
husband was notified and is on the
way to North Vernon.
Pick of Mountain Herd Ordered
to Make Out Prize's for Geor
gian Contestants.
Telegrams Monday ordered John
G. Mobley, of Winnsboro, S. C., to
ship the thirteen ponies necessary
to complete the herd of 22 which
The Georgian and American will
give away after the close of its con
test, July 31.
Within a few days, the special car
bringing the Shetlands. should ar
rive. According to the expert who
went to Winnsboro and picked them
out, they are a feast for the eyes.
Mr. Mobley has a plantation of
1,400 acres. Of this area, 450 acres
of wood lot are used as a pony farm.
Just now, he has 100 head of ponies,
which have been roaming the woods
and the rich pasture, and, these hot
days, seeking the shady tangles.
The Georgian and American were
offered their pick of the entire five-
score ponies. Twenty negroes,
mounted on mules, started at 8
o'clock in the morning to round them
up. By 1 o’clock they had the 100
little fellow's on the summit of a hill
where Mr. Mobley is accustomed to
give them salt. From this knoll
they were driven to the pens, and
the best fifteen were selected. All
are sound, gentle, affectionate and
well trained. They vary sufficiently
in markings, colors and size to please
all tastes. Perhaps the pick of the
bunch is “Flash,’’ who looks like a
race horse, and is as fast as his
name.
Every one of the ponies is worth
well above $100, and with each goes
a guarantee of good health and free
dom from blemish.
If the boys and girls are enthusi
astic about the ponies already in At
lanta, they will be wildly excited
over the newcomers, it is predicted,
for they are believed to be, if any
thing, a little better than those first
purchased.
Anyone Seen Nogi?
His Pal Is Grieving
“Nogi” is gone and now, after a
futile search throughout the city, his
little master gives up his quest heart
broken. Nogi is a fox terrier and pal
of a little boy over on the South Side.
Last Wednesday he disappeared down
Whitehall street and has not been
found since.
A rew'ard of $10 has been offered
by Jack Roberts, of the Guthman
Steam Laundry, and L. P. Hoppe, of
the Southern Flour and Grain Com
pany, for his recovery.

JACKSON, MISS.. July 22.—Mrs.

Mississippi State penitentiary. She
