WIRE MESSAGES
The declina‘ion of the Government
to act in the Nelms disappearance
mystery, based on the ground that
the known facts are not sufficient,
caused the police and the Nelms legal
advisers, Attorneys Reuben Arnold
and J. A. Watson, Jr, to center all of
their efforts Friday on immediately
obtaining from the telegraph compa
nfas the telegrams that passed be
tween Victor E. Innes, the Portland
lawyer, and Mrs. Eloise Dennils, The
two attorneys had a conference with
Attorney Albert Howell, ggunsel for
the te'egraph companies, who in turn
gdvised the companies to produce the
telegrams at once, pursuant to the
order of Judge Bell
Immediate search for the telegrams
was institued by the telegraph com
panies, with assurances tnat the mes
sages would be turned over to Clerk
Arnold Brovles, of the Superior Court,
as soon as found. The first of the
telegrams are expected to be received
by Clerk Brovles Friday. The hopes
of the probers now rest on tll- tele
grams, as they furnish the only ap
parent opening for new light on the
great mystery.
May Yet Interest U. S.
1f thess telegrams should develop
new facts as to the relations between
Innes and the young widow, the au
thorities believe they may be suffi
olent yet (o prompt the Federal Gov
ernment to take a hand.
Advices from Washington state
that while the officials found that the
evidence in hand did not justify Fed
eral activity, much sympathy was ex
pressed for young Nelms and his
mother, Mrs. J. W. Nelms, and he was
assured that should sufficient grounds
develop the Government would lose
no time in entering into the investi
gation.
Young Nelms had conferences with
Senator Hoke Smith, the Department
of Justice, and the Postoffice Depart
ment. l‘
THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN
VOL. XII. NO. 307.
Firmly Establishes Reputation as
Chief Orator of Georgia
House by His Speech.
Always recognized as a speaker of
tremendous force blessed with a fac
ulty for sound argument, Represcn
tative Samuel Olive, of Richmond
County, awoke Friday to find himself
famous, with a reputation firmly es
tablished as the “silver-tongued ora
tor of the House of Representatives.”
His speech in behalf of the Shep
pard child labor bill Thursday is des
tined to go down in legislative his
tory as one of the most powerful,
convincing and compelling oratorical
efforts that has ever resounded
through the historic halls of Geor
gia’s Capitol. £
There is no doubt that Mr. Olive
is the best speaker in the present
Georgia Legislature, and it is likely
that when he is speaking on a sub
ject with which he is thoroughly fa
miliar—and it might be mentioned
here that he never speaks unless he
knows his subject up and down and
sideways—and one which his heart
tells him is right and just and bene
ficial to his beloved Georgia there is
not a man in Georgia who can da
iiver a more telling speech.
For nearly an hour Mr. Olive hell
the members of the House fast in
the grip of his eloquence and tihe
convincing force of his arguments;
he painted word pictures of the little
children slaving in the mills that wiil
remain as masterpieces of verbal de
piction, and he showed his maateryi
of argument and his skill at loglcal
presentation of facts, clothed in ma
jestic language, by switching sudden
ly from compelling descriptions of
the soul-shriveling toil in the mills
and factories to a discussion of the
child labor evil from an economic
standpoint.
Men who heard Mr. Olive speak on
the Sheppard child labor bill heard a
speech such as they are not likely
ever to hear again, one that will
stand for yvears as an oratorical mas
terpiece.

FIGRT ON
MILL ACT
Debate Limited and Passage of
Measure Is Predicted To-day
by Big Majority.
The real test in the fight to free
the child slaves of Georgla from their
toil in the mills and factories of the
State will come in the House of Rep
resentatives Friday, when the vote
will be taken on the Sheppard child
labor ®bill.
Leaders in the House, familiar with
the sentiment of the members, declare
the Sheppard bill will be enacted with
a substantial majority, and the fight
will then shift to the Senate, through
which the measure must pass before
it can be placed on the statute books.
- By virtue of a motion made by
Representative Sheppard Thursday
and carried almost unanimously, the
House will necessarily come to a
vote on the bill by 12.40 o'clock Fri
day, the debate on the measure hav
ing been limited to that hour,
Opponents Open the Dehate.
It is probable, however, that the
roll call will be reached before that
time, as there are only a few mem
bers remaining who desire to speak
on the bill and who have not yet been
heard.
The debate Friday will be opened
by the members who are opposing the
Sheppard bill and advocating the
substitute offered by Representative
Moon, of Troup County, a measure
that is practically identical with the
substitute recently proposed by the
mill owners of the State.
Adams, of Hall County, probably
will open the discussion, and several
others are scheduled to speak both
for and against the Sheppard bill.
Sheppard to Close Fight.
Representative Sheppard, the au
thor of the bill, will close the de
bate, utilizing the twenty minutes al
lowed to the chairman of the Labor
and Labor Statistics Committee,
which has reported the bill favorably.
It was conceded Friday even by
many of the opponents of the mea
sure, that the Sheppard bill will pase
the House by a substantial majority.
Many members who on Thursday
were uncertain, due to a misunder
standing or lack of understanding re
‘garding the provisions of the bill, re
turned to their desks Friday thor
oughly convinced that the Sheppard
bill offers the only remedy for the
child labor evil in Georgia, and just
as thoroughly convinced that the
Moon substitute is merely a subter
fuge and a measure that affords al
most unlimited opportunity for evad
ing the law.

City Charter Bill to
Get Hearing Friday;
Mayor Opposes It
The House bill providing for
amendments to the charter of At
lanta was gone over carefully Friday
by Representatives John Y. Smith,
Ralph Cochran and Robe‘r& Black
burn, of Fulton County, preparatory
to a hearing on the measure Friday
afternoon before the House Commit
tee on Municipal Government. The
bill was referred to the three Ful
ton County Representatives Thurs
day, when Mayor James G. Wood
ward appeared before the committee
and vigorously opposed certain pro
visions of the bill !
Mayor Woodward based most of
his opposition to the bjll on the
amendment giving Council the right
to elect a chairman to a ¢ity board,
and the one giving the city the right
to condemn streets and sidewalks.
The Mayor declared that the present
iaw covering both these points works
all right, and that new laws are not
needed.
City Attorney Mayson was at the
meeting to represent the City Coun
cil. Other amendments to the char
ter called for in the bill are the crea
tion of the office of consulting cn
gineer, the fixing of building lines,
the Tixing of saiaries of city ofiicials
in the year preceding elections, and
the changing of the location of Els
wald sireet.

English Avenue Patrons Object to
Children Crossing ‘Social
Boundary’ to Ashby.
Atlanta public school workers be
gan Friday the task of arranging new
school districts to prevent the condi
tions of overcrowding and congestion
l that grew up in the last school term.
‘The task, as the School Boazd
learned at its meeting Thursday, in
volves a little of everything from sim
lple arithmetic to the constitutional
rights of American citizens, and is
i likely to plunge the board into unpop
lularuy with ;athers and mothers of
school children here and there before
Lit is completed, p
That understanding was reached
Iwhen 2 delegation of citizens from
Western Heights, patrons of the Eng
lish Avenue School, appeared before
the board Thursday, headed by J. ..
Greer, former Councilman. In an ap
peal that was tinged with defiance,
‘the Western Heighters asked that the
‘boundaries of the English Avenue
‘district remain unchanged, and that
‘another building be rented to take
care of the overflow of the English
"Avenue School, rather than that the
‘children who can find no seats be
sent to other schools.
j Object to Ashby Scheol.
Particularly, an objection was
‘volced to the Ashby Street School,
lthe nearest school, and the one to
‘whlch the overflow most likely would
lbe sent, When the School Board
}members hinted that it would be out
of the question to rent quarters, sev
‘eral of the delegation openly declared
they would rather keep their children
:uut of school than hav them trudg
ing off into the Ashby Street dis
‘trict.
.~ “Simpson street, which separates
the districts, provides a distin~t
‘moral and social line of difference.”
)exmained Mr. Greer. “The people
‘never cross and never mingle, and
‘have no interests in common. We
‘have built up a social center in the
lEngli§h Avenue district, and we bpe
lieve that center should remain intact
‘and that our children be not sent
ja.way frorn home, particularly the
younger children, who will be subject
to the dangers of the road.”
The audience was ended by the
promise of the board members to Jdo
the best thev could toward providing
for the younger children to rema'n
in the home school x
Distance Basis of Scheme.
The scheme of redistricting, ams
provided in a resolution by Commis
sioner Hatcher, is that convenience
as to distance be made the basis for
the new districts, and that lines equi
distant from the schools be drawn as
the lines separating the several dis
tricts. Cards will be sent to pareats
of school children by September 5
telling of changes in districts 0
which various children have been
assigned. According to the resolu
tion, if there is am overflow in any
of the grades, the children in excess
of 45, the number to be assigned to
each room, will be sent to the near
est school of another district.
Attenticn will be given to keeping
the smaller children in the schoolg
nearest the!r homes, and to sending
away only the larger children if any
must be assigned to other schools.
Parents who contemplate Inoving
their residence before October 1 are
requested to notify Assistant Super
intendent Landrum, who is in charge
of the redistricting work.

Foes of Child Labor Must Vote
~ For Sheppard Bill To-day
Every friend of the SBheppard child labor bill, as amended ac
ceptably by Mr. Dorough, will be in his seat in the House of Rep
resentatives to-day, when that measure comes to a vote.
The Sheppard bill is a just and righteous measure, and it
will before a great while become the law of Georgia. Nothing
ever is settled until it is settled right—and the problem of child
labor in Georgia will be settled RIGHT ! '
Every member of the House who favors the Sheppard bill
will be there TO VOTE to-day—those who are absent will be
listed against the bill. e
Indeed, it will be more manly to remain in the House and
vote against the bill, than to remain away and dodge. Physical
inability ALONE will excuse a professed friend of this measure
for being absent to-day.
Upon this entire matter, The Georgian intends to keep the
people of Georgia FULLY AND DEFINITELY INFORMED.
There will be three classes of voters to record—those who
favor the bill, those who oppose it, and those who dodge it. Only
the first class can be considered friends of the measure.
The Sheppard bill is not a fad with The Georgian. This
newspaper favors it, and has fought for it—and will continue to
fight for it—but it is backed by many other large influences, for
which The Georgian is-proud to be the spokesman.
The Georgia Federation of Labor has indorsed it, the Geor
gia Federation of Women's Clubs has indorsed it, humane and
religious organizations innumerable have indorsed it, and thou
sands of individual citizens have indorsed it.
The Georgian will keep these people informed of what
THEIR Legisiature is doing.
The Georgian will do this in the interest of right and justice,
to these organizations and to the people, and particularly to the
white-faced and stunted child slaves of the cotton factories in
this State.
The Georgian cares nothing for the snapping and snarling
of the occasional disgruntled few who do not like what The
Georgian is doing. The Georgian will be here, long after these
people have passed to their political graves, unwept, unhonored
and unsung. And The Georgian will be here to pass on to and
fight for other pressing problems and reforms, long after the one
of child labor has been adjusted as it should be.
In the meantime, however, we shall keep the people informed
as to WHAT is going on, and HOW it is going on. Those per
sons who think The Georgian is not entirely and altogether in |
deadly earnest in this matter are reckoning without their host,
and are not yet REMOTELY ACQUAINTED with The Georgian
and the real purposes of its existence.
Those members of the Legislature who are REAL FRIENDS
of child labor reform will be in their seats in the House to
VOTE to-day, when the roll is called!

Sentiment Shifts Against Prisoner
as Letters Expose Relations
of Pair.
PARIS, July 24.—The betting
in sporting cireles, which has
‘hitherto favored the aequittal of
Mme. Henriette Caillaux, who is
on trial for the murder of Editor
‘(Gaston Calmette, took a turn to
day as a result of the story told
on the stand by Caillaux’s first
wife, and wagers were offered
that the defendant would be
found guilty.
Mme. Gueydan, the former wife of
Joseph Caillaux, once Premier and
later Finance Minister of France, has
become one of the most talked of wo
men in Paris In consequence of her
amazing story on the stand, her
theatrical attack and her cleverness
as a witness.
This frail little woman, who
matched her wits with those of
Maitre Labori, chief of counsel for
Mme, Caillaux, and one of the fore
most lawyers of France, succeeded in
getting before the ceurt letters which
Caillaux and Labori fought to have
excluded.
Lawyer Becomes Famous.
Another person has come to the
fore through the medium of the Cail
laux case. Maitre Charles Chenu,
counsel for Calmette’s children, has
emerged from comparative legal ob
scurity to a high place among French
lawyers. It was he who guided Mme.
Gueydan, who counseled her and
helped her out of tight places. It
was Chenu who defied the powerful
Caillaux face to face and whose sar
castic and forceful speeches have
swayed the courtroom,
Malitre Labor! had fought hard to
prevent the reading of private letters
in the possession of Mme. Gueydan
because they not only betrayed dark
places in the past life of the defend
ant, but showed up Caillaux as a po
ligical trickster. Now the question on
the lips of Paris is:
“How many more secret documents
exist which touch upon the social and
political morals of our high states
men 7"
All Talk of Exposure.
Restless crowds were moving to
ward the Palace of Justice several*
hours before the fifth day’s session of
Mme. Caillaux’s trial opened.
All talked of the exposure which
Mme. Gueydan had made and there
were angry denouncements of Caila
laux.
A heavy force of republican guards
was on patrol duty.
The little knot of guards opened a
space for a moving picture operator
and his machine clicked merrily in
‘the midst of the milling crowd, while
cries and shouts and scufflings rose
around him.
‘ To guard against rioting in the
courtroum, Judge Louis Albanel had
troops scattered among the specta
tors. The disorder of Thursday had
sounded a note of warning in the
Jjudge’s ear, i e
