The He was in the House Friday, Representative Barry Wrifcht, of Floyd, usinR the word in resenting lobbying charges intimated by Rep resentative Howard Ennis, of Bald win. Ennis started toward Wright, f>ut 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 os was simply asking for information. Representative Wright had mov-»d for a reconsideration of sections 4 and I 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 * speech and inquired if "he was not In spired by members of the ‘third house' to ask for a reconsideration."

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 $25,000 for the maintenance of the Soldiers' Home, and a slight Increase in the ap propriation for clerical help in one of the Statehouae 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.

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 Are. 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 as she reached the first floor of the building, where Mr. and Mrs. B. Clein live. A struggle between the two women ensued before the blanket was placed about the younger one. In her ef 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 be burned to death. Pedestrians from the street rushed in. Mrs. ciein had picked up a rug from the floor and was endeavoring to throw it over the mother and daugh ter. Mrs. Lyon was separated from the burning girl and the flames in her dress were quickly extinguished. Girl’s Dress Burned Off. So filmy was the material of the laughter’s dress, however, that it ’ urned off of her before the Are was lit out. The girl was unconscious md 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.

The rope was found wedged in the tadiator 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.
