THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN AND NEWS Man Who Trapped Reeves and Miller Says It Is Exciting, but Once Is Enough. Playing burglar for six weeks in the interest of society is a “ticklish busi ness,” according to J. A. Harris, for mer railroad detective. He says he doesn’t want to try it again. Harris, whose identity has just been disclosed, is the man who caused the undoing of T. W. Reeves and R. W. Miller, accused as the leaders of a burglar band and who are now in the Tower facing numerous. charges. Working as a pal side by side with Reeves* and Miller in different jobs, Harris obtained information that en abled city detectives to run the. al leged burglars to earth last week. Detectives sav^Harris’ feat is one of the most daring ever attempted in this section in an effort to bag crimi nals. Harris' own story in court of how he acted the role of burglar fol lows: “My part In this affair has been solely to aid the detectives in round ing up these men, who I felt were a menace to society. I have known Reeves and Miller for some time. A few weeks ago I w'as approached by them to join in a plan to rob. They told me they were making lots of money, and making it easy, and that they were in no danger, that they were getting away with their game for the reason that they were both above suspicion. I saw that here was an opportunity to do a good turn, and I immediately took hold of it. I told them I would likd to make some of this easy money, and fell for their game—at least, I convinced them I did. “They seemed to trust me implicitly, and I was soon completely in their confidence. “When I realized that they meant business and that I really could be come a fake burglar, my next step was to report to Chief of Detectives Lanford. I assured the Chief I could trap this gang, and he told me to go ahead and work the game for all it was worth.. I would meet with Reeves and Miller, we would discuss and frame up possible, jobs, and I would report to Chief Lanford as quickly as possible. “I made daily reports to the Chief. pqttijig„him wise to every move being made by the gang. Sometimes I would meet the Chief at his home and sometimes I would Slip' d<5wn” to his office in the police station. But J would never risk th.e., telephone. ‘“The night Reeves and Miller were captured in Gober’g Ft ore in Carroll street I was along and made my es cape from the store. Of course, the detectives let me get away. As I dashed away from the store I heard several pistol shots—the detectives were shooting into the air. “But I’ve got enough n6w—I don’t want another job like this.” j Climate Failed; Medicine Effective R«st. fresh air and well-eoofted, nourishing food do help many persons suffering with Lung Trouble.

ANP MY FRIENDS l KEEP THE MOMEY' “Avast! If you don’t care to avast then I insist that you either ahoy or belay, whichever you pre fer !” This stirring maritime language was utttered by Admiral Juice, of the battleship “Piffle,” as he stepped ashore on an island known as Jappo-Greaso! It was inhabited by two tribes of hostile natives called the Jappo and the Greaso tribes respectively! They may not have been quite the most disagree able natives on earth but they were near it—very near it! The Greasos were always looking for trouble and the Jappos could live on two cents a week and s ave money! With fierce gestures they shouted “Down with honorable American laws!” “Viva la revolution!” and other coarse and impolite ex pressions! Advancing firmly toward them, followed by a sailor known as Professor Slick, Admiral Juice said, “My friends, if you will gather around me and produce two dollars apiece I will deliver a lecture “Peace, and How I Make It Pay!” after which the Professor here will read extracts from his “Life of Colonel Harvey!” There was intense silence for a moment and then with blanched faces and cries of terror the natives turned and fled! They were a tough lot but they had to draw the line somewhere! Suddenly a deep, hollow rumbling was—(To be continued before long). GEORGIA POLITICS JANIS B.NEV7N There seems to be little, if any. doubt that the Legislature is to hurry along the general tax act, just as it has hurried’along the general appro priations bill. There are, counting to-day, exact ly fourteen working days left to the Legislature's credit. This does not include two Saturdays and two Sun days, however. It, therefore, may De seen that the Legislature can. i*f it will, place both the appropriations bill and the tax acts—the general tax act, at.least— in the hands of the Executive ten days ahead of-adjournment, as he has requested. If - this is done—and it likely will be done—the present.Legislature will have accomplished a record of speed never before equaled in the history of the State. Despite all the complaining and criticise to the contrary, the present Legislature-has been the most prompt, within the memory of any Georgian, in the matter of passing the two vitally big and necessary measures of the session—the general appropria tions bill and the-general tax act. Credit must be awarded the com mittee heads, the committees and the Speaker for this remarkable achieve ment. and President Anderson has given his assurance that the prompt ness of the House shall be duplicated in the Senate this week and next. Taken altogether, the record of the Legislature as made up for this ses sion is all right and a credit. It is, indeed, far better than usual. Mr. Shuptrine, of Chatham, is very much*opposed to - the measure permit ting the addition of a kindergarten system to the public schools of the State. Mr. .'Shuptrine does not believe the Constitution of the State contem plates anything of the kind, arid, moreover, he thinks it would be b it the first .step in the direction of giea*- ly expanding the school fund, already smaller thah the necessities of the State seem to warrant. “If we pefmit this innovation, not warranted in the fundamental law at all, we shall have application made Within the "life of the. present Legis lature, perhaps, for more funds to meet the kindergarten requirements,” said Mr. Shuptrin to-day. “I know that it is proposed to add this feature to the school system without- additional appropriations to cover it. but that is merely a sop to *rcl the bill on the statute books. Once we inaugurate this system, we shall have to take care of it. and it will be argued that funds as now appropri ated are not sufficient to handle the new department. “Georgia already is dealing most generously with her schools—she is ttraiiiing the limit to take care of them—and I am not complaining so much about that. But I do think it would be a sad mistake to add any further burdens to her budget—and certainly' along the line of providing public education to tots from 4 to 6 years of age.” Senator M. C. Tarver has aban doned for the present his effort to get the Representatives and Senators of the various counties affected, in terested in the proposed Chickamau- ga judicial circuit. “The bill could rot be passed at this session,” said Mr. Tarver, “for sev eral of the Representatives of the counties proposed for the new cir cuit are opposed to any change of the present arrangement. Others, while desiring a change, couldn’t get to gether on an arrangement of counties that was mutually satisfactory.” Mr. Searcey’s bill to make the buyer and the seller equally guilty in “blind tiger” cases, was killed in the Senate, upon the theory that it af fords the “blind tiger” exactly the protection he desires, rather than re tards him in the operation of his business. “The one thing a ‘blind tiger' dreads above all other things,” said a Senator, discussing the bill, “is that among his numerous customers may be one who will tell. “This bill removes that dread, for anybody who reported a ‘tiger’ under this measure would become a crimi nal himself. Besides, because of the law which excuses a man from in criminating himself in testifying, this man would become immediately in competent as a witness. “It is hard enough now' to convict ‘blind tigers’, and it would be a thou sand times harder under this law. “Prohibitionists who seek to go the limits this bill proposes are to b< commended for their zeal, perhaps but surely' not for their common sense. This bill is sound enough in theory, if you view’ it from a certain angle, but it falls to pieces as a prac tical measure and would defeat the very object its author had in mind when he framed it.” The Senate defeated the measure by a vote of 18 to 22, which was not such a wide margin of defeat, after all. $1,400 Guarantee Of Wedded Bliss ROCHESTER.

Kings to Send Costly Gifts to Miss Wilson WASHINGTON, July 28.—Despite President Wilson’? attitude in dis couraging the gift of Baltimore Demo crats to his daughter, Jessie, at her wedding next November to Francis B.
