Lumb, an itinerant barber, will be
made by Joshua Crawford's heirs-at-
law when the hearing is resumed be
fore Auditor James L. Anderson on
Th ursday.
Colonel J S. James, attorney for
the heirs, said Tuesday that recent
investigations had revealed to him
more conclusive evidence of a plot
between Mrs. Crawford arid Lumb
than he had possessed before.
He declared that he would seek to
prove that Lumb and Mrs. Crawford
really were engaged to be married
while in St Augustine, where Mrs.
Crawford, then Mrs. Savage, con#
ducted a hotel.
Lumb Denies Charges
That this marriage was postponed
so that the woman might marry
Crawford for his money and later,

laughed at by her attorneys.
They brought out in Dr. J. W.
Hurt’s testimony Monday the physi
cian’s opinion t,hat thp aged man did
not come to his death through poison
and that the morphine found in his
body might very easily have been
contained in th • cough medicine that
was given him from time to time.
Dr. Hurt said that he was con

Members of the commitee who
framed the new traffic ordinance are
planning to make a fight for its adop
tion. Councilman W. G. Humphrey
said if the City Council expected to
heed every objection Atlanta never
would be relieved from the congested
conditions in the center of the city.
Because of the fight being made
against the ordinance by society
women who drive machines and oth
ers whose personal interests are con
cerned, there were some amusing ef-
for a by members of Council to avoid
being on the committee that is to
conduct the public hearing.
On the motion of Alderman John S
Candler the ordinance was referred
to the Street Committee. Alderman
Candler had to leave the meeting be
fore adjournment. As soon as he was
gone Councilman Orville H. Hall got
a motion through to reconsider the
action on the ordinance, and he then
made a m >tion, which carried, re
ferring the ordinance to a committee
including all the members of the Al-
dermanic Board.
This Is the first time Council ever
took such action. After the Alder-
manic Board has finished its duties
as Aldermanic Board Thursday it
will adjourn and convene as a spe
cial committee on traffic legislation.
Persons interested in the new traf
fic laws will be given a chance to be
heard.

The State Superintendent of
Schools Tuesday announced the ap
portionment of the State school fund
as it will be distributed through the
various cities and counties.
The total amount to be distributed
i* $2,550,000. This goes to the coun
ties and to the city schools, accord
ing to the school population of each.
— Several counties will get back from
the State a great deal more by way
of the school fund than they pay into
the State Treasury in taxes, but this
condition is not unusual and this
year’s distribution differs only slight
ly from last year's.
The per capita expense of the
schools to the State is $3.17, which
is a decrease per capita from last
year of 27 cents.
No Delay in Distribution.
The total amount to be paid, for
instance, to Fulton County, is $19,- ik
474.14.
The city of Atlanta gets from the
State, exclusive of the Fulton appor
tionment. $101,912.33.
