Another Effort Will Be Made to
Establish Fact of a Con
spiracy.
Another effort to establish the fact
of a conspiracy between Mrs. Mary
Belle Crawford, chief beneficiary of
her husband’s $250,000 will, and Fred
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
Thursday.
Cdlonel J. S. James, attorney for
the heirs, kaid Tuesday that recent
investigations had revealed to him
more conclusive evidence of a plot
between Mrs. Crawford and 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,
having rid herself of the old man,
marry Lumb will be the contention
which Colonel James will endeavor
to prove.
Lumb. answering to a statement of
interrogatories, has categorically de
nied all of the charges made against
himself and Mrs. Crawford.
He maintains that he knew Mrs.
Crawford only casually in St. Augus
tine and that the only time he ever
saw Joshua Crawford was one day
when one of the persons about the
hotel asked him to go up to one of
the rooms and assist in dressing an
old man. He said that Crawford ap
peared very feeble
The suggestion that Crawford came
to his death through poison adminis
tered by his wife or with her aid is
laughed at by her attorneys
They brought out In Dr. .1. W
Hurt's testimony Monday the physi
cian's opinion that the 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
vinced that Crawford died of pneu
monia and not from any kind of poi
soning.

SCHOOLS OF CITY
NEW TRAFFIC LIW 10 GET 5101,81!
Members of the commltee 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 mad*
against the ordinance by society
women who drive machines and oth
ers whose personal interests are con
cerned. there were some amusing ef
forts 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 motion, 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.

portionment of the State school fund
as it will be distributed through the
various cities and counties.
The total amount to be distributed
is 42,550,000. This goes to the coun
ties and to the city schools, accord
ing to the school population of each.

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,-
474.14,
The city of Atlanta gets from the
State, exclusive of the Fultcn appor
tionment. $101,912.33.
