SPECIAL ORDERS REFUSED
Not Likely That Senate Lieuteu-

Reached By House.
"If reform I. needd anywhere
Georgia today," raid Joe Hall In the
houee Friday ipornlng, "It la In the
senate." He was arguing the nece.alty
for the house granting a special osder
to consider the bill Increasing the
membership of the senate to 75, which
would require a constitutional amend
ment. The special order was refused.
A bill relative to the keeping of cer
tain record. In the county clerk', of
fices with a view to preventing the
dormancy of Judgments was passed by
the house Friday morning. The bill
was by Mr. Dunbar, of Richmond.
An attempt was made to set certain
senate bills requiring constitutional
amendments for special order of busi
ness Friday afternoon and Monday,
with a view to passing them In time
for them to be advertised the required
length of time before being submitted
to the people for a vote. The bill to

A special order for the senate bill

House Proceedings.
Rev. B. E. L. Timmons opened the
house with prayer Friday morning at
9 o'clock. Following the roll call and
reading of the Journal, a motion to
adjourn at 1 o'clock to I o’clock Sat
urday morning, doing away with the
afternoon Session, 4 was mad. by Mr.
I.lttle, of Hancock.
Mr. Alexander arraigned the mem
bers for not attending to the business
of the house. He said:
"The house has passed 100 bills that
were Introduced last ytar and there
are still 600 bills held over from last
year, besides the bills Introduced this
year.
"This matter of going to ball games
and running home on Friday and not

CHINAMAN, MADE TO SIT
AMONG NEGROES IN CAR,
WANTS $5,000 DAMAGES
Hong Hon, his feelings wounded and
his body sore from Indignities alleged
to have been Inflicted by a street car
conductor, entered suit In the superior
court Friday afternoon against the
Georgia Railway and Electric Com
pany. He demands $5,000 as compen
sation ^or his wounded feelings.
Hong Hon Is a Chinaman. His very
name Indicates that, to say nothing of
hla trailing pig-tall, hla silken gar
ments, his eyes cut slightly on the bias.
But he alleges that a street car con
ductor ordered him to occupy a seat In
the section of a car set aside for ne
groes.
The petition, filed by Lamar Hill and
Harvey Hill, sets forth that Hong Hon
was a passenger on a Marietta street
car on July 14: that he paid his fare
and occupied a aeat near the middle of
the car. It is alleged that the conduc
tor twice ordered Hong Hon to move
Into that part of the car let aalde for
negroes, which Hong Hon refused In
dignantly to do. Thereupon, alleges
the petitioner, the said conductor did
grasp the petitioner by the arm and
we should stay here and attend to the
business the people have put In our
hands.
"This shirking of work should be
slopped and I trust this motion will be
voted down."
The motion was voted down.
Mr. Wright, of Floyd, Introduced a
resolution to make the senate bill cre
ating the office of lieutenant governor
a special order for Monday, August 1.
Not Treating Senate Right.
Mr. Wright said It was necessary for
ad conatltulonal amendment* to be de-
- tded on by the houae before next Fri
day. owing to the law requiring pub
lishing of the amendments a certain
lime before the election. He said the
house bad not been treating the sehate
right, as that body was practically up
with the bouse bills submitted.
Mr. Hall, 6f Bibb: 'The two bills
passed by this house at the first of
the session have not been acted on.
These bills. It might be mentioned,
were Introdurnl by Mr. Hall. rj-- . ^
On the m.tlun of Mr. Felder, of Bibb. The house.
Mr. Wright's resolution was tabled.
Mr. Trammell, of Harris, moved to
reconsider the action taken by the
house on house resolution No. (7, pro
viding for an appropriation of $1(7000
for the Jamestown Exposition. The
previous question being called Imme
diately by Mr. Dunbar, of Richmond,
the motion was voted on and over
whelmingly lost. •
Dupbar Bill Up.
The bill by Mr. Dunbar, of Rich
mond, to prevent the dormancy of Judg
ments by requiring that but one execu
tion docket be kept In each county, was
taken from lha table for considera
tion.
Mr. Dunbar, the author of the bill,
explained Its purpose, urging Its pass
age.
Mr. Overstreet, of Bcreven, offered a
substitute to Mr. Dunbar's bill and
spoke In favor of his measure, arguing
that the latter would not necessitate
new docket books.
New Bills.
The following new bille were Intro
duced Friday and read the flret time
by Reading Clerk McClatchey:
By Mr. Duckett .of Banke: To reg
ulate the manufaclure and sale of
fertilisers.
By Mr. Land of Wilcox: To repeWl
act areatlng county court of Wilcox.
By Mr. McMlchafl of Marlon: To
require hotel and Inn keepers to thor
oughly clean rooms and provide clean
linen.
By Mr. 8pence o'f Mitchell: To amend
act establishing city court of Camilla.
By Mr. Seymour of Whitfield: To
enlarge the powere of the railroad com
mission. _ .. _
By Mr. Bhultz of Lumpkin: To au
thorite the commleeloner of pensions to
pay pension where husband died prior
to the maturity of his pension.
Dunbar Bill Pattet.
After the aubatltute was defeated the
house passed the original Dunbar
meaaure by a vote of »5 to 0.
The Dunbar bill provides that the
entering of an execution or the record
ing of entries thereon by a proper of-
fleer, upon the general execution dock
et of the county, shall have the same
effect In preventing the dormancy of
the Judgment as If such entering and
recording had been made on the dock
et of the court from which the execu
tion laaued, or on the docket of the
superior court, IX such execution Issued
from a Justice court, and that such
entries are required to be made_ on

The bill to Increase the membership
of the senate to 75 was proposed for a
special order, but the house voted It,
* Ur uiirhall nf Thomas, moved
forcibly eject him from the car, this
being done publicly and to the great
humiliation of Hong Hon, who suf
fered great mental anguish thereby.
Therefore, comes Hong Hon and prays
punitive damages In the sum of $6,000
against the company, whose servant In
flicted the Insult on Hong Hon.
The suit presents nn Interesting
proposition. There are seats provided
by the city ordinances for white per
sons and negroea. A Chinaman la not
a white person, neither Is he a negro.
If .the ordinance read "colored per-
aons” n street car conductor might
think himself Justified.. In placing a
yellow man In the rear eeata. He
might feel a hesitancy In placing a yel
low man In the seats for white per
sons. The problem Is a knotty one.
But Hong Hon eete forth In hie peti
tion that he le not a negro. Whether
he ehovee the hot Iron over enowy
shirt bosoms or mixes the pungent
chop suey and the seductive blrdsneat
stew Is not set forth In the petition.
But that he, In company with other
Chinamen, resents being classed with
an Inferior race, la evident In the peti
tion presented by him to the courts.
the won’t of the senate caused much
laughter.'
Mr. Flanders, of Johnson: Do I un
derstand the gentlemkn to say thet the
senate? Is not proportionately represen'
“ Taln't Representative.’’
Mr. Hall: 'Taln’t representative at
all. Have you ever been over there?
The motion to reconsider prevailed,
but the resolution to give the bill
special order was again voted down.
The resolution to give the senate bill
to create the office of lieutenant gov
ernor a special order, caused some dis
cussion and after It was voted down
an attempt was made to reconsider, hut
was unseccessful.
Mr. Wright, of Floyd, said the house
should take up some of the senate bills
In a spirit of mere fairness. Hie aug-
gsstlon had llttla effect, however.
A special order was granted to the
bill by Mr. Galloway, of Walton, to
amend the constitution relative to the
widows of 1 Confederate soldiers.
Later, on a reconsideration, a spe
cial order was given the senate bill to
Increase the clerical force of the comp'
trailer general.
Anti-Do-Nothing.
Mr. Wright, of Floyd, Introduced an
amendment to house rule number one,
compelling the attendance of members
who have not been properly excused.
In support of his amendment he said:
"It Is mere folly, for us to continue
at the present rate. The votes today
have disclosed the presence of a bare
quorum. Members leave whenever
they want to, to go to the ball game or
any other piece. Such practices as
this must stop If we expect to accom
plish anything. We must give the pre
siding officer power to force the mem
bers to attend and t believe we have
a speaker with the backbone to carry
out the rule." •
It was evident that the majority of
the members of - the houae preferred
the present easy-going pace to the
strenuous work Mr. Wright would
have them do. There wee a number
of motions from every part of the
house In an attempt to kill the Wright
amendment, which was finally tabled
on the motion of Mr. Mitchell, of
Thomas.
It was noticeable that all the stren
uous workers In the house supported
Mr. Wright, who attempted to get an
aye and nay vote, that the members
would have to place themaelver on
record. The members were too foxy,
however, and tabled the Wright reso
lution. •
On the motion of Mr. Felder, of Bibb,-
the house adjourned to meet again at
S o'clock. ■
Cigarette Bill Passes.
At the afternoon session Thursday
the anti-cigarette bill by Mr. Porter,
of Floyd, and Mr. Com. of Towns, was
passed by a vote of 107 to 0.
There was considerable debate on

Rockport, Maas., July $7.—The flret
serloua accident which haa occurred
since the battleships of the North At
lantic fleet arrived here for their ma
neuvers was reported early today.
While two miles oft shore yesterday
afternoon a two-inch steam pipe on the
Illinois broke, .severely scalding two
men and flooding the starboard engine
room with water. Tha names of the
men Injured were not obtainable. They
were sent to the ward room of the
battleship for treatment.
It was also reported today that only
by the smallest margin did the battle-'
ship Indiana avoid colliding with the
Alabama, after' coming In from the
maneuvers yesterday. The ships came
Into the harbor In a column about 25
feet apart. The Alabama preceded the
Indiana. When the order was given to
drop anchors, the anchor on the In
diana was dropped, but Captain Paus-
alg, on .the Indiana, failed to reverse
hls engines. The ship was traveling
about alx knots at the time and drag-
Kcd her anchor about 150 fathoms of
chain. The Alabama had come to a
full stop and a collision was averted
by but a small margin.
WIDOW OF SAGE
GETS HIS RICHES
Continued from Page One.
Stump's stand In the matter, aa he ex
pressed himself today, was emphatic
and unequivocal. Thi Troy heirs of
Russell Sage are determined to fight
the will to the very end, even to the
United States supreme court If that
should become necessary.
"We believe Mr. Sage's Inability to
attend to hls own affairs," said Law
yer Stump, "for the past few years Is
almost so plain as to need no proof.
And, we can show, If necessary, that
he was dominated by several persons
end was not allowed to conduct hls
business for a long time. This ap
peared to be a matter of general knowl
edge. A bodyguard had been employed
to look after hie wants end to keep
him from doing anything that would
tend to reveal to the public hls serious
condition."
They May Compromise.
Then Lawyer Stump made a state
ment, most significant In Itself, as in
dicating that some compromise between
Mr* Sage and the other relatives might
be arrived at without a contest of thy
will. But he refused to go into details
or vouchsafe any explanation.
"We may not contest the will. We
hope,'In the first place, that its pro
visions may make this unnecessary.
We can say better what we will do
when we know positively Just what the
provisions of the will are. But In any
case If the thing prove unsatisfactory
my clients are prepared to fight for
their rights. We can show that some
time prior to the signing of the will,
Russell Sage wea placed against hie
own wishes Jn the care of Thomas
Reilly, a nurse. At the time Russell
Sage was (* years old. That he had
become completely Incompetent, and
although he appeared almost dally at
hla office, he was taken there by Reilly
merely to humor the old man’s senile
Illusions.
Nurse Wes in Charge.
"When Reilly was placed In charge
of the old men. he found him In a moat
deplorable state. The old man was
going about In ragged clothes, did not
wear underclothing, either In winter
or summer, and pottered about, buoy
with the sewing oil of buttons, the
patching of hls own shoes and the
cleaning of stains from bis poor cloth
ing. It was due to Reilly that these
things were changed and Russell Sage
at least presented the appearance of
being In bis right mind."

Pittsburg, Pa., July 27*—It was In
timated by attorneys for the defense,
after the Hartja divorce proceedings
before Judge Fraser had reconvened
this morning, that a sensation would
be sprung. By this It Is thought that
the "Schenley Park blonde" woman
Is to appear In the case for the pur
pose of corroborating the eletement
of Tom Madina, who declared on the
witness stand that he had seen the
two, .Harije and this mysterious wom
an. driving In Schenley Perk together.
The prosecution, too, It le thought, le
about to play Ita final card, which, as,
has repeatedly been Intimated by At
torneys Ferguson and Merron, will cre
ate a decided sensation, or In the words
of Attorney Ferguson, "create a stench
to the nostrils of every person In the
court room."
Thet "Susie" Letter.
The prosecution has since early yea
terday morning been calling witnesses
In rebuttal for the purpose of showing
that Mrs. Hartje did write the "Susie’ 1
letter, oxhlhlt No. «, In spile of the
foot that the defendant denied em
phat lenity that she was the author of
the missive. „ „ ...
Blanche Rowland, formerly of 240
Second avenue, ' was placed on the
stand by the prosecution. She de
clared that during the period of her
residence In the place she had never
seen Hartje with a' woman In the
h< Mre. Mary Budlnaky, a slater of Su-
sle Wagner, eald she remembered re
ceiving a letter last November for

At the Bret mention of Senator Mor

out in great and prolonged applause.
Senator Morgan commenced hie
speech with a few preliminary remarks,
mostly humorous, which provoked
much amusement. He sold that ha was

Tha ordinance will deal with all the
