Auto scorching was tabooed In a bill
pawed, by the house Thursday morn-
In*.
The house adopted new hours for
sessions the rest of the summer term.
It will meet at » o'clock and adjourn
at 1:30 o'clock In the afternoon, doing
sway with two sessions a day.
It was a strange coincidence that
Mr. Ororensteln, of Effingham, who
made his maiden speech on the floor of
the house Thursday morning In sup
port of the James Oglethorpe monu
ment appropriation, Is a Salsburger,
and a direct descendant of those who
came to this country with Oglethorpe
and settled In Effingham county, where
Mr. GroVpnatAln'a fomiiu t... n.,.d -

Speaker Slaton and President West
were thanked by the house for the
barbecue Wednesday afternoon, and a
resolution of thanks to the auperln-
n. n ,it nt o f the experiment station at
origin for a dozen crates of peaches,
sent to the general assembly, was
P««sed unanimously.
“he advocates of the proposed new
county of Phil Cook are having a hard
time with the bill to create the county,
as those opposed have so far prevented
the bin from being read 'the second
time. An effort was made Thursday
morning, the last day for the passage
of a constitutional amendment, to have
!“ b111 read . but It was unsuccessful.
This action means the death of the
took county bill.
A few minutes after the house met
Thursday a discussion on the length of
the sessions of the house and time
limit to debate was precipitated by a
report of the rules committee on a
resolution by Mr. Calvin, of Richmond,

Pittsburg, Pa., Aug. 2.—The Hartje
divorce trial la over, with the excep
tion of the arguments by the attorneys
which tvjll begin Monday. This morn
Ing, after half a dozen witnesses had
been called by both sides to contradict
portions of the others' testimony, At
torney John M. Freeman said:,
''That Is all.” ..
Every one seemed relieved with the
possible exception of Mrs. Augustus
Hartje, the-beautiful libellant, who was
In excellent spirits this morning.
"Are you glad it's all over?” she was”
asked.
Turning with a smile that waa almoat
a laugh she said:
"I don’t know. "I—"
"Here, you must not talk," quickly
put In Mrs. Alex Slocum, the woman
who had been Mrs. Hartje'a constant
companion since the flrst day of the
trial.
The latter looked disappointed, as
she evidently intended to say that she
had begun to enjoy ths trial.
Immediately after the trial adjourned
First Assistant District Attorney Robb
caught Attorneys John Marron and
Edward Hartje before they could leave
the . court, room and said he wanted to
talk to them. The trio went to a, cor
ner of the room and had a long whis
pered conversation.
"I can't and won't say what the con
ference was about,” replied Hartje'a
brother when questioned. "I let those
two-newspaper men In and they turned
out to be spies."
He referred to the testimony offered
by John R. Ball and John Qeyer, who
had testified this morning that Ed
Hartje had told them on April 12 that
he had letters written by Mrs. Hartje
to other men. Ed Hartje on the stand
this morning denied making this state
ment to the reporters.
Blonde Tell* on Hartje.
Alma Ross, the mysterious "blonde,"
who kept a rooming house, swore yes
terday that Augustus Hartje and Jose
phine Wright frequently met at her
house; that the Wright woman brought
him there and Introduced him, and said
that the house at which she had been
living was too public and too close to
the Hartje warehouse.
The Ross woman said Hartje paid
Josephine Wright's room rent there
after. Several days ago Hartje swore
he did not know Josephine Wright
and the Wright woman swore she did
not know Hartje.
On Information sworn out by Tom
Madlne, the coachman. Detect Ives H.
O. Staubb and John A. Anderson, who
testified that they took the famous
"love letters" from Tom Madlne'a trunk,
have been arrested on a charge of
entering a building with intent to com
mit a felony and larceny. Attorney
Edward Hartje, a brother of Augiftitus
Hartje, signed their bonds of 12,000
each, and they were released.

SOME OF THE SUGGESTIONS
THA 7 WERE NOT FOLL O WED
BY PROBING COM Mill EE
When the Investigating committee announced Wednesday night that the
taking of evidence was closed there were several essential details which
had not been brought out during the ten hours of questioning. The evi
dence was closed at the motion of J. D. Smith, one of the committee.
Among the matters of Interest which were not brought out at the In
vestigation wer* the following:
Who la P. A. Lee, for whom Richard Cheatham admitted handling fu
ture transactions In the exchange of albert ft Clay? Where does he live?
ft Company for Mike O’Orady under the name of "Mike Jones" Instead oi
using O'arady's name as he did at the Qibert ft Clay exchange?
Why was J. it. Cheatham, manager of R. Hledenburg. not brought be
fore the committee to tell what he knew regarding Richard Cheatham’s
trades In the name of "Mike Jones,” to corroborate the evidence of Hol
land Curran? The committee accepted Mr. Curran'a remark that Mr. Sled-
enburg would not appear as Anal.
Why was not Manager Love, of the Piedmont Brokerage Company,
called on to testify as to the stockholders In that company? Mr. Love
was In Marietta Wednesday night, but waa expected to return Thursday.
Why did Richard Cheatham carry his personal account In the Fourth
National Bank as "Richard Cheatham, Secretary?" Mr. Cheatham mere-
It? atmtmri (hat ha iIM (his fnp "nftnmnil pftlinns ”
greater rate of speed than a mile In 8
minutes. It also states that a mile In
3 minutes shall be . the limit except at
stated above. The substitute pjyvldea
further that no one ehall run an auto
mobile any where In the state at any
speed greater than Is reasonable, hav
ing regard to traffic and use of. pub
lic roads.
The substitute Is not to affect the
right of any person Injured, either In
his person or property, by the negll-
ent operation of an automobile,, to sue
and recover damage*. .A provision is
made for those handling automobiles
to stop them when animals become
frightened at the machines. Suitable
bells, horns or other signal devices
are required, as Is one white light at
night, one hour after sunset to one
hour before sunrise, this light to be
visible at a distance of 200 feet away.
There shall be a red light visible In
the reverse direction.
Mr. Lumpkin, of Walker, accepted
the substitute. In favor of which he
made a short speech, urging the house
to pass the act with a view to making
It safe for ordinary people to use the
country roads.

It was chiefly through the offices of
Senator Dolllver, the "stanft pat" lead

Cummins' advocacy of the "Iowa

the tariff plank, but It waa made so
moderate that the stand-patters decid

paragraph declnred for a tariff "op

Forced Into this attitude, Mr. Fairchild replied that he did and the com

At several points In the Investigation ths commute* wandered off Into
a discussion of the difference between bucket shops and legitimate ex-’

charge that an official of the association waa trading In cotton did not
refer to Mr. Jordan, but to Rlchanl Cheatham. He also stated , that hla

The Investigation was marked by a number of sensational Incidents.
Mr. Cheatham became violently Indignant on several occasions and a per

which had to be stopped by A call for order. The Investigation was any
