LIE PASSED US
BUDGEIWAR
Appropriations Bill Passes House
After Bitter Verbal Battle.
Little Danger of Veto.
The lie was parsed In the House
Friday, Representative Barry Wright,
of .Floyd, using the word in resenting
lobbying charges intimated by Rep
resentative Howard Ennis, of Bald
win. Ennis started toward Wright,
but several of the other members of
the House Intervened and the matter
was quickly straightened out, Mr. En
nis declaring that his words carried
no innuendo or intimation, but that it
was simply asking for Information.
Representative Wright had movsd
for a reconsideration of sections 4 and
b of the general appropriations bill,
which the House was considering as
a committee of the whole. These two
sections provide for the appropria
tions for schools, colleges and State
institutions.
Ennis interrupted Wright in m
speech and Inquired If “he was not in
spired by members of the ‘third
house* to ask for a reconsideration ’’
Wright’s Retort Sharp.
• The reply of Wright was that "an
such a statement was a lie, an abso
lute falsehood.'* He demanded that
if Ennis had such proof or evidence
that he at once submit it to the
House.
Ennis explained that he had no
such evidence; that he did not mean
to Intimate that the Representative
from Floyd had be^en so Inspired, but
that he simply wanted to find out if
such could be the case.
Carrying with It an appropriation
of $6,795,667, which Is $108,900 under
last year’s bill, and carrying an addi
tional appropriation of $3,679,000 to
refund bonds in 1914-16, the general
appropriations bill was passed by the
House Friday.
By the passage of the bill at this
time all House records were broken,
and everything looks safe for a quick
passage through the Senate and to the
Governor for approval.
Little Change in Bill.
The bill, as amended, showed a dif
ference in but three of the appropria
tions recommended by the committee.
This included $2,550,000 for the pub
lic school fund for each of the years
1913 and 1914. which was an increase
of $60,000 over the committee recom
mendation; $30,000 instead of $26,000
for the maintenance of the Soldiers’
Home, and a slight Increase in the ap
propriation for clerical help In one of
the Statehouse departments.
Much debate was Indulged in on
several items. Representative Barry
Wright objecting to many on the
grounds that It was following in the
footsteps of the 1911 Legislature,
“which was the most extravagant in
the history of Georgia."
The Confederate pensions section,
which covered many items, totaling
$1,074,800, was an object of special at
tack, but no change was made In it.

BEAUTY EXHIBIT AT

A reader suggests that the pictures
of the ten leading beauties in the
booster button contest be included in
he Georgia exhibit at the Panama Ex
position in San Francisco.
It is not unlikely this suggestion
will be carried out by the Booster
Club.
When the prettiest girl finally is se
lected for the *‘500,000 Club" booster
button her face will become the em
blem of that organization, but her
name will not be on the buttons. The
only words under the pretty face will
be the slogan: "W T atch Atlanta—She’ll
Get You Yet.”
Miss George Green, of No. 223
North Jackson street, is one of the
entrants to-day. She is another bru
nette and makes the number of bru
nettes equal to the blondes In the con
test. At first it seemed that the
blondes would predominate.
Nominations still are invited. Girls
nominated now will have practically
as good an opportunity from the
standpoint of time as those suggested
at the first. It is with The Georgian
readers who is to be selected, the
nomination and voting coupons being
published each day.

As a raault of severe burns received
when her skirts caught fire from a
grate in which she was burning some
trash at her home, No. 349 Capitol
avenue. Miss Bessie Lyon, 19 years
old, died Thursday night at the
Georgian Hospital. She was the
daughter of R. L. Lyon, superintend
ent of the Austell Building.
In the room next to the one in
which the girl succumbed, her heroic
mother Friday lay, suffering from se
rious burns received while trying to
extinguish the flames which envel
oped the daughter.
The accident occurred Wednesday
afternoon. Miss Lyon had swept
some light trash into the grate in the
front room on the second floor, and,
after applying a match to It, turned
to leave. A tongue of flame leaped up
to the hem of her skirt as it swished
over the fire, and immediately the
filmy cloth blazed.
Girl Flees in Terror.
When the girl discovered her plight,
all presence of mind left her. Scream
ing. she burst open the door and leap
ed down the stairway. Her body by
this time was enveloped In flames.
Mrs. Lyon, emerging from a back
room, saw her daughter as she bound
ed down the stairs. Grabbing a blan
ket. she ran after her. catching the
terrified girl os she reached the first
floor of the building, where Mr. and
Mrs. B. Olein live.
A struggle between the two women
ensued before the blanket was placed
j about the younger one. In her ef-
I forts to save her daughter, Mrs. Lyon
let the flames catch in the sleeves of
her own dress, and for a time It
looked as though both women would
I be burned to death.
Pedestrians from the street rushed
in. Mrs. Clein had picked up a rug
from the floor and was endeavoring to
i throw it over the mother and daugh-
I ter.
Mrs. Lyon was separated from the
burning girl and the flames in her
dress were quickly extinguished.
Girl’s Dress Burned Off.
So fllmy was the material of the
laughter’s dress, however, that It
turned off of her before the Are was
out out. The girl was unconscious
ind her body blackened.
An ambulance was called and the
two women were taken to the Geor
gian Hospital. The daughter never
regained consciousness.
The mother received burns about
the face and arms, from which she
will recover.

NEW YORK, July 26.—The tragedy
of suicides which followed the elope
ment of Elsa Schroeder with "Baron”
Richard Arkovy, a Hungarian adven
turer, culminated to-day when Rob
ert W. Schroeder, a retired stock
broker, ended his life by gas in the
same room where his wife, heart
broken over their daugUter’s mar
riage, also committed suicide with the
same gas Jet.
In 1909 the "Baron” captivated Elsa,
then a 19-year-old girl. She had in
herited $200,000 from her grandfa
ther, Jacob Hoffman, a brewer. De
spite her parents’ opposition, Elsa
eloped. The "Baron” went through
the girl’s fortune in a few months.
She left him to return to her par
ents, but in the interval, her mother
had taken her life.
Arkovy continued in the limelight
for a time after his wife had sued
him for separation. He was heard of
in Monte Carlo and other gambling
resorts. Then came the news that in
April last he had killed himself with
morphine in a London hotel.
The suicide of the father come as a
climax to the disasters which fol
lowed on the heels of the elopement.

certain the trial would begin, and ho
will urge that both sides go to trial
rather than Inconvenience the Jury
and witnesses, many of whom will
make arrangements to absent them
selves from work to be at the court
room Monday.
Jim Conley was questioned again
late Thursday and was made to re
hearse his movements on the day of
the tragedy, being taken to the va
rious places he asserted he visited
the forenoon and afternoon of April
26.
Chief Beavers assumed charge of
the negro and was assisted by De
tectives Starnes and Campbell, who
had taken Conley to the Tower the
day before without the Chiefs per
mission.
Conley was taken from the station
secretly, and the four were in the
Chief’s automobile and out of sight
before the officers’ Intentions were
known. The negro was taken to Car
ter street and Fllectric avenue, the
point where William H. Mincey swears
he 88w Conley the afternoon of April
26. and heard him boast of killing a
girl.
That the detectives are bending
every effort either to discredit or es
tablish definitely the Mincey affidavit
was made evident by the number of
persons they interviewed, with the
purpose of ascertaining if anyone had
seen Conley at the place and at the
time Mincey says he had his conver-
! sation with the negro.
Conley also was taken to the office
of Solicitor Dorsey, where he was
quizzed closely in regard to his re-
J ported remark when crowds began to
gather near the factory that he "w'ould
give a million dollars if he were a
white man.” The remark was said tc
have been overheard by another ne
gro, and this negro was in the Solici
tor’s office to confront Conley.
Chief Beavers would not divulge the
results of the afternoon's work ex
cept to say that nothing had devel
oped to change hU theory of the
crime.
Rope Also Found.
It became known Friday that a
piece of rope was among the finds
made on the first floor of the National
Pencil Factory after the murder of
Mary Phagan. It was found by the
Pinkerton operatives at the sanv 1
time the torn envelope purporting to
be Mary Phagan’s and the blood
stained club were discovered.
The defense has not hastened to
an assumption that any of this evl-
case. The attorneys have Insisted
dence is of vital importance in the
that the evidence be proved genuine
beyond a doubt It is understood
that no absolute proof has been found
that the envelope was that in which
Mary Phagan received her money
The same lack of definite informa
tion is said to exist in respect to the
club and the piece of rope.
The rope was found wedged In the
radiator near the spot where the club
and the envelope were discovered and
only a few feet from the box on
which Jim Conley was sitting Satur
day afternoon.

Passenger Train Strikes Locked
Switch on Marietta Street.
Fireman Near Death.
Passenger train No. 17 on the Sea
board Air Line, due in Atlanta from
Abbeville. S. C., at 8:40 a. m., was
wrecked Friday morning when just
abreast the National Furniture Com
pany plant at 844 Marietta street, by
plunging into an interlocking switch
set against it.
The negro fireman, Albert Wallace,
of No. 44 Rock street, Atlanta, was
thrown across the tracks when the
engine toppled, and was carried to
Grady Hospital unconscious. He is
not expected to live. Engineer C. A.
Tennant, of Abbeville, S. C. t was bad
ly shaken up and bruised, but was not
seriously injured.
The front trucks of the flrst coach,
a combination passenger and baggage
car, left the tracks, and the occu
pants, all negroes, were given a se
vere jolting. None of the other four
cars was derailed.
Inquiry Begun by Road.
Officials of the Seaboard, in an
effort to fix the responsibility for the
wreck, are investigating the report
that the signal board indicated "all
clear” until the train was almost upon
the switch and that at this instant
the operator in the tower pulled the
signal and derailed the train.
T. L. Brook, of No. 66 Currier
street, long in the employ of the
Western and Atlantic Railroad, is tne
towerman. He denied the signal had
been set against the incoming train
Just as the interlocking switch was
reached, resulting in the derailment.
He said that a dead Atlanta, Birming
ham and Atlantic train on its way to
the yards was crossing the Western
and Atlantic track on which Seaboard
train No. 17 was approaching, and
that Tennant must have overlooked
the signal set against him.
Two Employees Shift Blame.
Tennant claims that the signal was
white. Towerman Brook declares
that it was red. The W. & A. officials
will join with the Seaboard in the in
vestigation. Tennant hae been with
the Seaboard since 1902 and has be?r*
regarded as careful and trustworthy.
He has had a passenger run for threo
years.

power improperly to have the bill
passed in the form he desired.
