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. FIVE BOYS ARE KILLED BY STICK OF DYNAMITE By Prlfate 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.

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.' ■The school at Dahlohega Is worth with Its Photograph of hlra.

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 PENCIL VENDER IS FREED FROM BASTILE BY DEATH A waiting trial on the charge of va grancy and confined In a cell on the third floor of the Tower, S.
