Alexander Amendment to
Strike Out First Three
Sections of Slaton
Bill Defeated.
The Slaton bill to amend the consti
tution of Georgia to provide for the
establishment of a court of ‘appeals
wee passed by the house Wednesday
morning, after three hours considera
tion, by a vote of 144 to 4.
The Slaton bill, providing as It does
for a constitutional amendment, will, if
passed by the senate, be submitted to
the people of the state for ratification.
The court of appeals, as provided for
In the bill passed Wednesday morning,
will consist of three Judges, two of
whom shall constitute a quorum. These
Judges shall be elected by the people
and shall hold office for terms of six
years. They shall be paid a salary of
14,000 a year. The court of appeals
will have Jurisdiction over certain cases
appealed from the city, county and Jus
tire courts, and has been recommended
by the house with a view to taking
some of the work off the supreme court.
Election In November.
An election for the Judges of the
court of appeals, If established, will be
held the first Tuesday after the first
Monday In November, 1900, and the
Judges elected will start In on the du-
ties of the court January 1, 1907.
At the beginning of the session on
Wednesday morning there seemed to be
much opposition to the Slaton bill, but
by the close of the session the house
was practically unanimous In Its vote
on the bill.
Court of Appeals Bill.
On a special order granted last Mon
day, the court of appeals bill by Mr.
Perry, of Hall, was taken up lmmediat
ly after the roll call.
Owing to the absence of Mr. Perry,
tome members wanted the bill tabled,
but when It was stated that Mr. Perry
was In favor of the substitute bill by
Mr. Slaton, of Fulton, the house voted
down the motion to table made by Mr.
t Berrien.
by Mr. Perry, of Hall, pro
vides for a presiding Judge and four as
•oclstes, while Mr. Slaton's bill would
create a court with three Judges, two
of whom shall constitute a quorum.
The bill by Mr. Perry was not consid
ered, the substitute having been. ac
cepted by the friends of the bill.
On the motion of Mr. Hall, the house
went Into the committee of the whole
to consider the bill. Ur. Knight, of
Berrien, took the chair, at the request
of Mr. Dunbar, of Blchmond, speaker
pro tem.
Mr. Perry, of Hall, came Into the
hall at 9:40 o'clock.
Wanted Anderson to 8peeify.
Mr. McMullIn, of Hart, arose to a
question of personal privilege, and call
ed on Ur. Anderson, of Chatham, to
•how his hand In the charges he made
Tuesday against the Southern Cotton
Association ofttcals.
Mr. 8tovall, of Chatham, said that as
his colleague was not In the hall, he
would suggest that the matter br
dropped until Mr. Anderson should ar
rive.
Mr. Slaton, of Fulton, was recogniz
ed by the chair to speak for his sub
stitute. Waiting for several amend
ments to be sent to the desk and read,
ho began hla argument, after stating
that owing to a very severe cold, he
could speak but a few minutes. He
said:
"This substitute bears my name, but
had Mr. Perry, of Hall, been here Mon
day when the substitute bill was ord
ered printed his name would no doubt
have been on the bill.
"No Polities In It."
"This bill has no politics In It. It
has the support of the people. The
dally press Is In favor of It. The great
dallies In my own city, while differing
on many questions, are all supporting
this measure. The Atlanta Georgian,
The Journal, The Constitution and The
News have all come out for this meas
ure, which Is purely patriotic and In
the Interest of the people."
Mr. Slaton then reviewed the meth
ods of courts In different Southern
states, showing how much more per
fect la the Georgia system, the only
trouble with which Is the enormous
amount of business that must be tried
by the supreme court. He said the
business of the Georgia supreme court,
where the humblest man could take his
case without cost, was equal to the
combined number of cases tried by the
supreme courts of the Carolines and
Virginias.
"As to the bill Itself," continued Mr.
Blaton. “It will take 4t per cent of the
cases off the supreme court's docket."
Mr. Wright, of Floyd, asked what
was meant by the words “city courts
of Atlanta, Savannah and like courts.”
Mr. Slaton said the courts of Atlanta
and Savannah were constitutional
courts, and that city courts like that
at Bamesvllle were not “like courts."
The bill, he said, meant that the busi
ness from county and constitutional
city rourta would go by writ of error
to the new court of appeals. He con
tinued his argument for the bill, ex
plaining the different clauses and sec
tions.
Following Mr. Slaton, the chatr rec
ognised Mr. Aiken, of Bartow, who was
Informed that he had 12 1-2 minutes.
At this point there was considerable
discussion as to the time to be al
lowed for the debate on the bill In the
committee, the chair holding that the
committee had been Instructed to re
port the bill back In one hour and
thirty minutes, and that 25 minutes
had been taken up In reading the bill.
An attempt was made to- go back to
the house for further Instructions, but
Mr. Aiken, of Bartow, would not yield
the floor for such a motion.
Mr. Hall, of Bibb, attempted to In
terrupt to give some Information to
** r - Aiken, who would not yield, and
who. Instead, fired a rebuke at the
gentleman from Bibb. He said:
Takes Shot at Hall.
“The gentleman from Bibb always
tries to give Information, which Is very
often erroneous. On this bill, I have
no Idea of allowing the time of the op
ponents of the bill-to get Information
from a >source which, I have no doubt,
will furnish Inaccurate Information On
this measure."
Mr. Hall—Will the gentleman yield?
Not after that remark?
Mr. Aiken—I- refuse to yield.
Mr. Hall—All right; I Juat wanted Ao
tell you something.
Mr. Aiken then launched out In hla
argument against the Slaton bill,
claiming that it was not properly
drawn, made unnecessary provisions
and left out Important ones. He said
he thought the bill was full of politics
and should not be Injected . "Into , a,
heated campaign like this."
Mr. Felder, of Bibb, spoke In favor of
establishing a court of appeals,
but did not desire It to be mixed up In
the present turbulent political condi
tions of Georgia.
Mr. Alexander, of DeKalb, made a
fiery talk. In which he claimed that the
legislature was about to pass, to rail
road through, a dangerous piece of
work. I
"Dangerous,” Says Alexandsr.
"This bill," continued Mr. Alexander,
“Is crudely dVawn. It Is unnecessary
and absolutely dangerous. You will
fasten In your constitution detailed
principles never Intended to be there.
"Why, I am called on to point out the
errors, but I haven't time, owing to
the way they are railroading this bill
through the house. This bill Is full of
errors. I want to Introduce an amend
ment which will remedy the defects of
this bill, for three long pages of It ore
drawn up In apparent absolute ignor
ance."
Alexander’s Amendment
Mr. Alexander's amendment was as
follower and on It a bitter fight was
made by the friends of the Slaton bill:
Amend the 81aton substitute by
striking out sections 1, 2 and 2 and
Inserting In lieu thereof the following:
"Article VI, section 2, paragraph I,
of the constitution, by adding at the
end thereof the words following: 'But
If the general assembly should here
after create some other appellate court.
It shall have the power to define the
Jurisdiction of the same and designate
what cases shall be reviewed by the
supreme court and what cases shall be
reviewed by the court of appeals. . ,
The committee reported back to the
house and secured an extension of time
for debate In the committee, Into
which the house again resolved Itsqlf.
Mr. Alexander took the floor and con
tinued his argument against thei bill.
The gentleman from DeKalb h«ld
that the general assembly had the right
now to establish the court of appeals,
that It was against the provisions of
the consUutlon to Inculcate In It all
such details as are In the Slaton sub
stitute. He said the salaries hadnt
been fixed In the bill, and that the
terms of six years for the Judges were
danirerou*, for th6 reason that twre
might be reason to want to shorten the
terms, though such could not be dime
If the Slaton bill was passed. He
claimed that the passage of the bill
would mean 120,000 expense every year.
"I call on you, gentlemen, to ko
slow I do not say we should not pass
a measure to relieve the supreme court,
but I do say we are Increasing the qx-
pendltures at an alarming rate.

Issues His Defy to the People
By Private Leased Wire.
.'St. Petersburg, July 25.—The following manifesto has been Issued by
Pramjer Stolypln In the shape of a telegram which has been gent to gov
ernor generals, governors and prefects throughout Russia and to the
viceroy of Caucasus: '
"In conformity with. Instructions received from the emperor with the
view to securing full co-operation between the different local authori
ties, I hereby Inform you that the'government expects you to exercise
vigilant rend untiring supervision over your subordinates, so that order
may be promptly and definitely restored. Disturbances must be suppress
ed, and revolutionary movements must be put down by all legal means.
The measures you take must be carefully considered. The struggle begun
Is against the enemies of socjety, and not against society Itself. Conse
quently, wholesale repression cannot be approved of. Imprudent and Ille
gal acts are likely to give rise to discontent Instead of conducing to calm
and cannot be tolerated.
"The Intentions of the emperor are Immutable. The government firm
ly desires to assist In the amendment .of the legal procedure laws hith
erto enforced, which no longer serve their purpose. The old regime will
be regenerated, but order must be fully maintained. You must act on your
own Initiative, as you are Invested with responsibility. Firm and vigor
ous steps taken on these lines will doubtless be upheld by the best part of
society.” /

Mr. Hall, of Bibb, answered ¥ r -
ii.v.n<t.r of DeKalb. claiming that —
the Slaton bill being dan-‘line, after the word 'therein.’ the fol-
gerous, the Alexander amendment was
the most dangerous he had ever heard
Mr. Aiken, of Bartow, asked If It
was not true that great commercial
powers were behind the Blaton bill, but
dr. Hall did not agree with him.
-Well, I do," said Mr. Aiken.
Mr. Hall then spoke for his amend
ment, which had been accepted by the
friends of the bill, and without which
he would not vote for the bill.
Mr. Hall's amendment, which was In
the Interests of trials by Jury and the
preservation of the verdicts, was as
follows:
"Amend section 2 by Inserting In the
fourth line of said section, ifter the
word 'entire,' In said line, the following
words, to wit: "In law and equity.’
Amend further byjnsertlng In the fifth
lowing words, to writ: ’Or carried

Amend further by Inserting In the said
fifth line, after the word 'of,' the fol
