WITH PADDLE AS WEAPON
POLICEMAN KEPT ORDER
IN CROWDED WHITEHALL
A decidedly unique method of pre
serving order and ridding- Whitehall
street of the nGisy Fourth of July flre-
racker was adopted Wednesday by
Policeman Berry, who does duty In
that busy thoroughfare.
Numbers of small boys seemed Im
bued with the Idea that Whitehall was
the proper place to shoot firecrackers
and make other Fourth of July noises
and the fun started early In the day.
Policeman Berry realized that he had a
Job on his hands and he sought a plan
by which he hoped to most effectively
rid the street of the disturbance.
Finally, a bright idea flitted into his
brain. Going to a fireworks stand,
he procured a piece of board and con
verted it Into a hefty looking paddle.
And” then armed with this new weapon
of police warfare he started out on
crusade.
Wielding the poodle, the officer in
formed the small boys what they
might expect If they shot any fireworks
In the street. This warning had more
effect than a threaf to arrest. The boys
f**ared th<- jm.M1i’ and they “skldooea
it was nspamry 1 fbr the officer
touch up only OM pC two little fellow
lightly to Impress on them the mean
ing of his threat. .
The paddle crusade worked so sue
cessfully Officer Berry waa not co
polled to enter a case against any
the boys for shooting.

NICARAGUA’S PRESIDENT’S SON
IS CHARGED WITH THEFT
r
By Private Leased Wire.
Washington, July 6.—Driven almost
to the limits of desperation for want
of funds, Alphonse Zelaya, son of the
president of Nicaragua, and his bride
of less than three months, who was
formerly an adopted daughter of Dr.
William W. Baker, of Washington, have
become estranged for the second time,
and Mrs. Zelaya asserts that she has
left her husband for good and all.
Zelaya has been playing the piano
In a down town saloon. HIb wedding
followed a sensational kidnaping of
himself by agents of the Nicaraguan
government to prevent his marriage to
the beautiful American girl.
Zelaya says his father has positively
refused to supply him with funds, or to
lend any financial assistance, and in
his predicament Zeyala has been
pressed almost to the limit.
Mrs. Zelaya has. taken up her real
dence with a friend and says she will
sue for divorce on grounds of non
support.
The Zelayas roomed In a house with
Policeman Chester R. Samson, of tho
First precinct, and this morning Sam
son sworo out a warrant charging
Zelaya with larceny of certain articles
of clothing. At 1 o'clock this after
noon the police had been unable to find
him.
Mrs. Zelaya is in no way related to
Dr. Baker or Mrs. Baker. Who sho
really is Is a mystery. “I am a niece of
the late General Fltzhugh Lee,” was
the most definite Information she gave,

BIG APPROPRIATION
BILL CAUSES LONG
DEBATE IN HOUS
First Afternoon Ses
sion is Set For
Thursday.
FLYNT, OF SPALDINO,
ATTACKS ATHENS SCHOOL
Says the Present Agricultural Col
lege Is Nothing But a Farce
and Sham.
House bill No. 1, by Mr. Conner,
Bartow, to appropriate $100,000 for the
erection and equipment of a building
on the campus #of the University
Georgia for the study] of agriculture,
was defeated by the house of repreaen’
tat!Vet Thursday morning, and an aft
ernoon session will be held In an effort
to conclude the argument on tho bill.
The feature of the debate on the
Conner bill was the attack made by Mr.
Flynt, of Spalding, on the alleged
worthlessness of the present agricul
ture college at Athens.
Among the bills Introduced Thurs
day morning was one to prohibit In
toxication or drunkenness on tho part
of state and county officials while li
the discharge of their duties. The pen
alty upon conviction is fixed at dls
missal from office and the inability of
one dismissed from office- from holding
the office before the expiration of three
years.
There was practically a full attend
ance In the house Thursday morning
when Speaker Slaton rapped for or
der. After prayer and roll call, the
reading of tho Journal was dispensed
with by unanimous consent.
Mr. Wright, of Floyd, made a motion
that the house meet Friday morning at
8:30 o'clock. He said:
“Mr. Speaker, we have boen here
now a week, and not one-fifth of the
time has been spent in work. We
have passed but two bills. If we keep
on with tho present methods, we will
not get to one-tenth of the bills on the
calendar. I merely make this motion
test ' If the members are not
with me I will say no more.”
A substitute by Mr. Ross, of Upson,
that the house meet at 9 o'clock pre
vailed by d vote of 81 to 40.
The report of the committee
rules that the Mattingly bonds bill
be made a special order for July 11
was again voted down, after the usual
useless debate on the question of this
bill taking precedence over others. The
report of the committee was voted
down Tuesday and reconsidered on
Wednesday.
Resolutions of sympathy In the loss
by death of Messrs. Lumpkin, of Sum
ter; Ramsey, «f Murray, uml M<*L«>n
non, of Telfair, were Introduced by
Messrs. Brown, of Brooks, and Barks
dale, of Wilkes.
Two Sessions a Day.
Mr. Hall, of Bibb, Introduced a reso
lutlon providing for two session of
the house eveey day after July 10, tho
hours 9 to 1 o’clock and 3 to 6 o'clock.
Tho resolution went to the committee
on rules by request of Mr. Hall.
Mr. Whitley, of Douglas, Introduced
resolution to make It Impossible for
the house to consider out of Its order
any bill carrying an appropriation If
the bill had been “lobbied.'' The reiO’
lutlon was torn up by the clerk.
The house resolved Itself Into a com
mittee of the whole to take up the
consideration of the Conner bill to
appropriate $100,000 to erect and equip
a building at the University of Georgia
to bo used In tho study of agriculture.
Mr. Flynt, of Spalding, who waa speak
ing when the house adjourned Tues
day, took tho floor to conclude his ar
gument iignlriHt the Ml! l,y Mr. runner.
The following sentences were taken
from Mr. Flynt’s remarks:
“The agricultural school at Athens Is
farce.”
“There is not a corporal's guard of
bona fide students In the agricultural
school.’*
"Why, old man Hunnlcutt, the dear
old man who Is paid $2,000 a year to
teach farming, says he can’t teach
blank walls.”
"Wo want an agricultural college
where something other than football
players and lawyers will be turned
out"
“They tell us the university has re
cently acquired $150,000 worth of prop-
L'BiUI/ nvquiicu ♦»uv,vvv nw*ut
t-rty, and s man who lived In Athens
for several year* told me the property
waa dear at 8(0 an acre.”
•'Farmers will not send their sons to
the present so-called agricultural col
lege, for they are taught nothing about
farming.’’
"Don’t talk to' me about building a
great Institution on the agricultural
school a* a foundation. It would be Ilk*
building on quicksand.”
"I'm not a-talklng against th* uni
verslty. I want It to prosper. 1 am
not opposed to an agricultural college.
e need something of the sort.’’
"The gentlemen from Bibb (Mr.
Hall) Is always ready to give to hie
alma mater, but he opposes an Increase
the appropriation to tha deaf and
nb school at Cave Spring.'

Lobbying Charged.
This bill has been ’lobbied' more
than any bill ever Introduced In this
legislature.”
If any railroad or corporation had
done the same amount of lobbying, tha
gentleman from Bibb would be roaring
in that mighty yolce of his against the
demon. corporation.”
Following Mr. Flynt’a speech. Mr.
Felder, of Bibb, Introduced a resolution
limiting the time of each speaker to
fifteen minutes. Messrs. Knight, of
Berrien, and Hall, of Bibb, took ad
vantage of this resolution to say a few
words. The resolution prevailed.
Mr. Holder, of Jackson, favored th*
bill. He made a short speech, prefac
ing his remarks with the statement
that while he waa an alumnus of th*
University of Georgia, he would not
favor a Mil Just to give 1100,000 to the
university.
Mr. McMillan spoke In favor of th*
Conner bill.
At 12:20 the committee of the whole
reported progress to the house and
asked leave to sit again.
Mr. Wright, of Floyd, moved that
the house meet Thursday afternoon at
t o'clock. There was some questioning
of Mr. Wright, after which a vote was

o’clock Thursday morning.
The dead body of the prisoner was
found lying on the cell bunk by the

MORE SENATORS

eentatlve Rlchardaon, of Houston, to
Increase the number of. (tat* senators
from 44 to 7( successfully runs the |
gauntlet of leglelatlve process thin ten

A bill will be Introduced to attach |
these dountlee to their proper *ena-
torlal districts. *
If Mr. Richardson's bill passes It will |
require no rearrangement of th* dis
tricts, since It la proposed to distribute
the thirty-on* additional senators I
among th* various district*.
Distribution would bo based on pop
ulation. - Atlanta, Macon, Augusta, Sa
vannah, Rome and Thomaavllle would
have three senators Instead of one, aa
now. In other words, each county!
