TAX ON AUTOS
Opponents “Poke Fun” in Effort
to Defeat It—Urge License
for Baby Carriage.
The bill of the House Ways and
Means Committee providing for a
State registration tax of $5 on auto
mobiles was passed by the House
Wednesday morning. 107 to 64, after
a fight that raged since Monday
morning.
The original bill provided that the
funds obtained by the tax should go
into the general fund of the State.
An amendment offered by McMlchael,
of Marion County, diverting the pro
ceeds of the tax into the State road
fund, was carried, and the purposes
of the Ways and Means Committee in
presenting the bill to provide more
revenue for the general expenses of
- the State were defeated.
I Would Tax Baby Carts.
The opponents of the bill, led by
Stovall, of Elbert, and Sheppard, of
Sumter, tried to defeat the bill by
poking fun at it. To that end half a
dozen amendments were offered of a
facetious nature, but all were voted
down.
4 Oliver, of Quitman, wanted to
amend the bill to tax wagons and
buggies in relation to their "horse
power;” Smith, of Fulton County,
wanted to amend the bill to place a
tax of $1 on all goats and wagons,
and Estes, of Lincoln, offered an
amendment that placed a tax on ox
carts and baby carriages.
Other amendments Included those
by Lee, of Wilkinson, who wanted to
double the tax; Culpepper, of Meri
wether. to require two license num
bers instead of one, and Myrick, of
Chatham, that the autoist register his
number with the clerk of his town.
School Tax Bill Up.
Consideration of the bill offering to
■ the voters a constitutional amend
ment limiting the levy for school pur
poses to two and one-half mills was
begun Immediately after the passage
of the automobile tax bill, and was in
progress when the House adjourned
at 1 o’clock. It will be continued at
the afternoon session.
The bill for the constitutional
amendment was offered by Speaker
Burwell, and has the indorsement of
the Administration. The Speaker
took the floor and spoke for half an
hour urging the passage of the bill.
Others who spoke on the bill at the
morning session were Representatives
Stovall, of Elbert, who opposed it;
Shuptrine, of Chatham, who favored
it; Fullbright, of Floyd, who is in fa
vor of the measure; Meadows, of
Wayne, who opposes it, and Barry
Wright, of Floyd, who is against the
bill. Mr, Wright had the floor when
the House adjourned.

Special Cable to The Atlanta Georgian.
MEXICO CITY, Aug. 6.—Prominent
members of the American colony to
day expressed the opinion that the
administration at Washington had
made a mistake In removing Ambas
sador Henry Lane Wilson at this time.
President Wilson’* action In sending
John Lind, former Governor of Min
nesota, here on a special mission has
given Provisional President Huerta
another excuse to protest against out
side interference. That Huerta is be
coming exceedingly angry at the
Washington Government Is rvldent.
Two unofficial envoys have been
sent here within the past six months
to study the situation and to re
port to President Wlfton on actual
conditions and their presence has
piqued Huerta.
Jingoes are making capital out of
the present status of affairs by de
claring that the United States Is
afraid of Mexico and will not make
any move which would infiame the
populace.
Lind Will Investigate
Charges Against Envoy.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 6—One of the
first duties devolving on former Gov
ernor Lind of Minnesota, when he ar
rives at Mexico City as personal rep
resentative of President Wilson, will
be to check certain features of the
report by Ambassador Henry Lane
W T il8on and to find out whether oer-
tain charges made against the former
envoy have any foundation.
It is expected that Charge d’Affalres
O’Shaughnessy will aid In ascertain
ing how American influence in the
Mexican Captal has been used for the
past two years.
At Vera Cruz he will confer with
Admiral Fletcher, who will report on
conditions In Frontera, Tampico and
other points on the east coast. Mr.
Lind desires to strip his mind of all
possible misinformation he may have
acquired through inspired sources be
fore taking any action.
The special envoy will leave Gal
veston to-morrow on the battleship
New Hampshire, it was announced at
the Navy Department to-day, and it
is expected he will be in Vera Cruz
within 36 hours and in Mexico City
within 48 hours after he leaves the
Texas port.
Sidney Dell, Once
Atlanta Attorney,
Dead in California
News has been received in Atlanta
of the death July 24 near Los An
geles of Sidney Dell, once a leading
attorney and prominent Mason in At
lanta. Mr. Dell’s wife found him dead
in bed. The funeral was held July 28
from the residence in Glendale, near
Los Angeles.
Mr. Dell was In Atlanta about the
same time that Woodrow Wilson was
here, but left soon afterward for the
West to seek his fortune. He was
elected mayor of Portland and missed,
by only a few votes, election to the
governorship of Oregon. He went
to Washington State and thenc?,
twenty years ago, to Los Angeles.
He claimed to have discovered the
right of Los Angeles to tide lands
at the harbor worth $50,000,000, which
the city gained through the courts.
Mr. Dell sought a fee for his services
but he never was rewarded.
Among lodgemates of Mr. Dell In
Atlanta were General A. J. West and
other well-known citizens, who re
member Mr. Dell as an unusually bril
liant attorney and champion of muni
cipal rights.

at Prices a Third to a Half Less Than Regular
These bath 1 mats are the product of the best mill in America. In consider
ation of heavy orders placed throughout the year, they favor us at certain seasons with their
accumulation of “seconds”—bath mats which because of some slight defect fail to pass the
critical eye of the inspector as absolutely perfect. The “hurts,” however, are hard to find; in ]
fact, scarcely noticeable. Each bath mat will give perfect satisfaction. !
The hath mats are big thirsty fellows that will soak up water like a sponge, j
Thick and comfy; soft and luxurious. Firmly looped threads. They should wear almost for- ]
ever. In various colors and sizes. This is the price range: \
