IN STATE SENATE,
SAYS JOEJ. HALL
Says Body Has Veto Over House,
But Is Not Repre-*
sentative.
SPECIAL ORDERS REFUSED
Not Likely That Senate Lieuten
ant Governor Bill Will Be
Reached By House.
"It reform le needd anywhere
Georgia today," said Joe Hall In the
houee Friday mornlnr, “It Is In the
senate." He was arguing the necessity
tor the house granting a special order
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 records In the county clerjc’s of-
flees 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
Increase the clerical force of the comp
troller general was given a special or
der.
A special order for the senate bill
creating the office of lieutenant gov
ernor was refused, and It Isn’t likely
that this bill will be reached by the
house In time for It to be advertised
and submitted to the people at the elec
tlon this fall.
House Proceedings.
Rev. B. E. L. Timmons opened the
house, with prayer Friday morning at
» o'clock. Following the roll call and
reading of the Journal, a motion to
adjourn at 1 o'clock to I o’clock 8at.
urday morning, doing away with the
afternoon session, was made, by Mr.
Uttle, 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 ysar 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
attending to the business of the house
—I introduced a resolution a few days
ago to require a, record of the attend
ance and unlesa a member had a good
excuse for being absent, he should not
he allowed to draw his per diem. Some
members whispered It about Shat I lived
close by and could go home on a street
car. This Is not true. I believe that
we should stay here and attend to the
business the people have put In our
hands.
"This shirking of work should be
•topped 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 offlee of lieutenant governor
a special order for Monday, August L
Not Trssting Senate Right.
Mr. Wright said It was necessary for
ai! conatltulonal amendments to be de
cided on by the house before next Fri
day, owing to the law requiring pub
lishing of the amendments a certain
time before the election. He said the
house had not been treating the senate
right, as that body’was practically up
with the house Mils submitted.
Mr. Hall, of 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.
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 66,000 as coinpen
satlon for hie wounded feelings.
Hong Hon Is a Chinaman. His very
name Indicates that, to say nothing of
his trailing pig-tall; his silken gar'
ments, his eyes cut slightly on the bias.
But he alleges that a street car con
ductor ordered htm 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 seat 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 set aside for
negroes; which Hong Mon refused In
dignantly to do. Thereupon, alleges
the petitioner, the said conductor did
grasp the petitioner by the arm and
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 110,400
for the Jamestown Exposition. The
previous question being called Jmme-
dlately by Mr. Dunbar, of Richmond,
the motion was voted on and over
whelmingly lost
Dunbsr 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 the table for considera
tion.
Mr. Dunbar, the author of the bill,
explained Its purpose, urging Its pass
age.
Mr. Overstreet, of Screven, offered a
substitute to Mr. Dunbar’s bill and
spoke In favor of his measure, arguing
that the latter would not necessitate
new docket hooka.
New Bills.
The following new bills were Intro
duced Friday and read the first time
by Reading Clerk McClatchey:
By Mr. Duckett of Banks: To reg
ulate the manufacture and sale of
fertilisers.
By Mr. Land of Wilcox: To repeal
act creating county court of Wilcox.
By Mr. McMIchapI of Marlon: To
require hotel and Inn keepers to thor
oughly clean rooms and provide clean
''"bv Mr. 8pence of Mitchell: To amend
act establishing city court of Camilla.
By Mr. Seymour of Whitfield: T<
enlarge the powers of the railroad com
mission. . .. _
By Mr. Shults of Lumpkin: To au
thorise the commissioner of pensions to
jay pension where husband died prior
:o the maturity of his pension. 1
Dunbar Bill Passes.
After the substitute was defeated the
house passed the original Dunbar
measure 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
ficer, 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 bad been made on the dock
et of the court from which the execu-
tlon Issued, or on thi docket of the
superior court. If such execution Issued
from a Justice court, and that such
entries are required to be mads on
such Venera! execution dockets for this
**The committee on rules mads a re
port recommending special orders for
house and senate bills, carrying const!-
rational amendments, and limiting de
bit* on the bills given special order
to thirty minutes. ..
The bill to Increase the membership
of the senate to 76 was proposed for a
■medal order, but the house voted It
down. Mr. Mitchell, of Thornes, moved
to reconsider the action.
Mr Hell, of Bibb, urged the house to
reconsider Its action, for the people de
manded a change In the senate, which,
he said, was not a representative body,
but on. ths. merely held a veto over
forcibly eject him from the car, this
being' done publicly and to the great
humiliation of Hong Hpn, who suf
fered great mental anguish thereby.
Therefore, comes Hong Hon and prays
punitive damages lh the sum of 16,000
against the company, whose servant In
flicted the Insult on Hong Hon.
The suit presents an Interesting
proposition. There are seats provided
by the city ordinances for white per
sons and negroes. A Chinaman Is not
a whits person, neither Is he a negro.
It the ordinance read "colored per
sons” a street car conductor might
think himself Justified In placing a
yellow man In the rear seats. He
might feel s hesitancy In placing a yel
low man In the seats for white per
sons. The problem Is a knotty, one.
But Hong Hon sets forth In his pet!
tlon that he Is not a negro. Whether
he shoves the hot Iron over snowy
shirt bosoms or mixes the pungent
chop suey and the seductive blrdsnest
stew is not set forth In the petition.
But that he, In company with other
Chinamen, resents being classed with
an Inferior race, Is evident In the peti
tion presented by him to the courts.

Flanders, of Johnson: Do I un
derstand the gentleman to say that the
senate Is not proportionately represen
tative?
“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 offlee of lieutenant gov
ernor a special order, caused some dis
cussion and after It was voted down
an attempt was made to reconsider, but
was unseccessful.
Mr. Wright, of Floyd, said the house
should take up some of the senate bills
In a spirit of mere fairness. His sug
gestion had llttls effect, however.
A special order was granted to the
bill by Mr. Galloway, of Walton, to
amend the constitution relative to the
widows of Confedsrate soldiers.
Later, on a reconsideration, a spe
cial order was given the senate bill to
Increaae the clerical force of the comp
troller general.
Anti-Do-Nothing.
Mr. Wright, of Floyd, Introduced an
amendment to house rule number one,
compelling the attendance of members
wbo 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 leavs whenever
they want to, to go to the ball gams or
any other place. Such practices as
this must stop If we expect to accom
plish anything. Ws must give the pre
siding officer power to force the mem
bers to attend and I believe we have
a speaker with ths backbone to carry
out the rule.”
It was evident that the majority of
the members of ths house preferred
the present easy-going pace to the
strenuous work Mr. Wright would
have them do. There waa a number
of motions from every part of the
house In an attempt to kill the Wright
amendment, which waa finally tabled
on the motion of Mr. Mitchell, of.
Thomas.
It waa noticeable that all the stren
uous workers In the house supported
Mr. Wright, who attempted to get an
aye and nay votfl, that the members
would have to place themselves on
record. The members were too foxy,
however, and Mbled ths Wright reso
lution.
On the motion of Mr. Felder, of Bibb,
the house adjourned to meet again at
1 o'clock.
Cigarette Bill Pastes.
At the afternoon session Thursday
the anti-cigarette bill by Mr. Porter,
of Floyd, and Mr. Corn, of Towns, was
passed by a vote of 1*7 to 1.
There waa considerable debate on
the Mil. Mr. Porter leading the fight
for It. Mr. Anderson, of Chatham,
opposed the bill on the ground that It
waa unnecessary and extreme paternal
ism.
The bill prohibits the manufacture
and sale of cigarettes In the state.

Rock port, Maas., July 17.—Ths first
serious • accident which has occurred
since the battleships of the North At
lantic fleet arrived here for thalr ma
neuvers was reported early today.
While two miles off shore yesterday
afternoon a two-inch'steam pipe on the
Illinois broke, severely scalding two
men and flooding the starboard engine
room with water. The names of the
men Injured were not obtainable. They
were sent to the ward room of the
battleship for treatment.
It waa also reported today that only
by the amalleat margin did the battle
ship Indiana avoid colliding with the
Alabama, after coming In from the
maneuvers yesterday. The ahlpa came
Into the harbor In a column about 26
feet apart. The Alabama preceded the
Indiana. When the order was glvan to
drop anchors, the anchor -on tha In
diana waa dropped, but Captain Paus-
slg, on the Indiana, failed to rsverse
his engines. The ship was traveling
about six knots at the time and drag
ged her anchor about 150 fathoma of
chain. The Alabama had coma to a
full stop< and a collision was averted
by but a.small margin.
WIDOW OF sSAGE
GETS HIS RICHES
Continued from Pago One.
Stump’s stand In the matter, aa he ex
pressed himself today, was emphatlo
and unequivocal. The Troy heirs of
Russell Sage are determined to fight
the will to the very end, even to the
United State* supreme court If that
■hould become necessary.
"We believe Mr. Sage’s Inability to
attend to his own affairs,” said Law
yer Stump, "for the past few yean I*
almost so plain as to need no proof.
And, we can show. If necessary, that
he waa dominated by several persons
and waa not allowed to conduct his
business for a long time. This ap
peared to be a matter of general knowl
edge. A bodyguard had been employed
to look after his wants and to keep
him from doing anything that would
tend to reveal to ths public hla serious
condition.”
They May Compromise.
Then Lawyer Stump made a state
ment, most significant In Itself, aa In
dicating that some compromise between
Mrs. Bags and ths other relatives might
be arrived at without a contest of ths
wilt But he refused to go Into details
or vouchsafe any explanation.
"We may not contest ths will. We
hops. In ths first place, that Its pro
visions may make this unnecessary.
We can say better what we will do
when we know positively Just what ths
provisions of the will are. But In any
case It the thing prove ansatlafactory
my clients are prepared to fight for
their rights. We can show that some
Urns prior to ths signing of the will,
Russell Sage was placed against his
own wishes In ths cars of Thomas
Reilly, ■ nurse. At the time Rusaell
Sag* waa M years old. That ht 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.
e Nurse Wes in Charge.
When Reilly was placed In charge
of the old man. he found him In a moat
deplorable state. Ths old man was
going about in ragged clothes, did hot
wear underclothing, either In winter
or summer, and pottered about, busy
with the sewing on of buttons, the
patching of hi* own shoe* and ths
cleaning of stains from hla poor cloth
ing. It was dus to Reilly that these
things wsr* changed and Russell Sage
at least presented the appearance of
being In bis right mind."

Alabama State Free# Association, who
had Invited him, and a large assembly
of ladles and gentlemen from all over
the state. He was Introduced to the
great audience by the president of the
association. C. H. Greer, of Marlon.
At the first mention of Senator Mor

out In gteat and prolonged applause.
Senator Morgan commenced hi*
speech with a ttw preliminary remarks,
mostly humorous, which provoked
much amusement. He said that he was

City Attorney Mayaon Is about to
draw up an ordinance dlrlallng the

The committee on streets, Alderman
James L. Key, chairman, held a session
In ths city hall Friday, morning. The
entire committee was In attendance,
and It waa the evident determination oi
the committee to give the new gas
company a showing. It waa decided to
have the ordinance above mentioned
drawn up end returned to the com

The ordinance will deal with all the
details of the franchise, such as, how
many streets may be torn up for the
laying of pipe at one time, whether or
not there will be a franchise tax. and
numerous other points.
The matter of franchise tax la V.

In view of the recent happenings In

significant. He dwelt upon the neces
