Mayor Reported To Be Back of
New Commissioner, Elected
by His Vote.
Following Mayor Woodward’s
triking vietory in the police
| commissionership fight in Coun
cil. there were insistent rumors
| Tuesday that Robert T. Pace,
| elected by the ecity exeeutive’s
’ vote, will be put in the race for
the chairmanship of the board.
The present leading candidates are
W. P, Fain and W. A. Vernoy. It is
gene v conceded that Fain is al
most 4 certainty. The Mayor, it has
generally been understood, will vote
for Robert €', Clarke, who, however,
is very little ehance and it is now
reported that “Mr. Woodward will
susport Pace in the hope that votes
| pledged to Vernoy will swing to him
| on the second ballot.
‘ Experts Still Bank on Fain.
| f those directly interesied
would talk of the situation Tuesday,
hut the meeting of the Police Board
next week s being eagerly awalited.
The political experts stlll insisted
it Fain’s position was impregnable
nd that he would be chosen on the
nd ballot, but there was some un
fasiness among his friends about
‘St-minute developments.
Mlavor Woodward, whose vote brolie
* tie between Mr. Pace and Marcel
¢ M. Anderson and elected the for
mer, refused Tuesday to express his
Opinion as to the effect the election of
Mr. P ind Mr. Clarke would have
ot future policies of the Polize
Roord
He declared, however, that their se
£ction to places on the board is evi
dence that the people of Atlanta are
tting tired of senseless and cease
f¢s agitation, and that Councll has
€zun to recognize this feeling on the
't of their constituents.
People Tired of Agitation.
“The people of Atlanta want &
l*an. business government,” said
Mayvor Woodward, “and they want
this agitation to cease. The election
“T Mr. Pace certainly evinces a dis-
Position on the part/of Council to give
the ¢ltv 4 sane business goyernment.
We don't want to run wild over fa-
Baticism and let burglars and foot-
Puds control the eity.,
Mr. Face is a good man, with the
““Uinterests of the city at heart, and
"am confident that he will do his ut-

The election of Mr. Pace and Mr.

ion of Council by a lot of
i political whip-straws. Being
ro aten by these politicians un-
YT the guise of reformers has long
been Council's greatest fault, but by

Toke loose, and it is to be hoped they

Let Various States
WASHINGTON, March 3.—Propos
ing that the Democrats adopt a con
stitutional amendment which would
give to tho people of every State, upon
petition of a certain percentage of
their votars, the right to decide
whether women o, that State should
have the vallot, Mrs, Antoinette Funk,
of Chicago, led the woman suffrage
forces at the hearing of the House
Judiciary Committee on the proposed
amendment granting the ballot to
women. Mrs. Funk spoke for the Na
tional Armerican Woman Suffrage As
sociation.
“I know pretty much whether you
a2:> going to enfranchise us or not,”
she said, “and you know that I kn~w
that the majority party in Congress
at present is pretty much committad
to the States’' cights doctrine, but
this plan which we proposc simply
puts it up to the several States to
answer the suffrage question for
themselves. .
“What it would accomplish wonld
be to eliminate great barriers now
standing between the people and their
own rights to vote upon the question.”
CHICAGO, March 3.--A handsome,
athletic voung man, impersonating
“Nap” Rucker, was sought by detec
tives to-day on the story'of Miss Nel
lle Bates, of Trinidad, Colo., who said
that she gave him $2OO, her watch
and a diamond pin, believing him to
be Rucker, pitcher for the Brooklyn
National League club, Miss DBates
met “Rucker” on a train coming from
‘San Francisco to Denver.
She sald he proposed marriage, and
that after they reached Denver she
accepted him and came to Chicago.
On the way Miss Bates said the bo
gus ball pitcher warned her against
the danger of carrying so much mon
ey in a big city, and she gave him
her $2OO, watch and pin.
“Rucker” went into the Pullman
office to identify his suit case, and that
was the last Miss Bates saw of him.

News of Blaze—Only Few
Effects Saved.
I'ire within the space of little more
than one hour Tuesday afternoon to
tally destroyed the $20,000 home and
imperiled the family of James 8.
Floyd, vice president of the Atlania
National Bank, at No. 35 East Fif
teenth street.
Mr, and Mrs, Floyd, with their two
children, James and Frances, had re
turned from a visit to Fiorida only
the night before. Mr. Floyd was at
the bank Tuesday. Repair men ovar
hauled the furrace in the morning,
and, after building a fire, left.
A few minutes later the butler at a
home about a quarter of a mile away
noticed the roof of the Floyd home
ablaze., He told the servants at the
next home, and in this way the news
traveled from house to house until 1t
reached the Floyd home, wheére the
occupants were as yet unaware of the
fire.
All of “the expensive furnishings of
the home were consumed except for
a small portion which Mrs., Floyd and
the children, with the help of neigh
bors, carried out before the smoke
became too dense. Only the brick
walls remained standing.
The insurance cn the house was
about $12,000. A delective fiue is be
lieved to have been the cause of the
fire.
The home of Mr. and Mrs. Roger
Dewar, next door to the Floyd resi
dence, caught fire twice and the fire
men, seeing that they would be un
able to save 'tlfe home of Mr. Floyd,
turned all the streams on the other
building. The damage there was
slight.
