FAVOR THE PROXY SYSTEM.
Georgia HoO-HOOs Want II COntinu-
ed by the Annual.

A meeting of a Hoo-Hoo committee was
held last night at the Office of Mr.. W. G.
stiIweu It was desired to gather the
sentiment in Georgia relative 70 a pro-
posed amendment of the law governing
voting in the ANIMALS of the order. The
committee adopted a resolution declaring
in favor OF the present system and OBJ
jecting to any change.
At the last annual of the Hoo-Hoos
which was held in Cleveland, o.. 1t was
proposed that there be state organiza-
ton Of Hoo Hoos and that regularly ac-
credited delegates 10 the annuas be elect
Cd. The present plan Is for all who desire
TO attend from each state. Each states
representatives then have the proxies from
that state divided among them. 50 that
if a state should have a hundred Hoo
Hoos send in their proxies and have five
representatives in the annual. each of
those members would have a vote Of TWEEN
~.
This system did not please a number who
attended the Cleveland meeting, though
those opposed to it were in the minority
and there seemed little hope for the sub
stitute they proposed being adopted at the
coming meeting, which is TO be held in
Denver Sept 8. Georgia will probably de-
clare IN favor of the proxy system. This
year the proxies of the members in the
state will be sent in first to the vice-gerent
shark who VIII forward them to the SUI
preme scriventor, and it IS believed that
such will be the plan followed for years
to come. The Hoo-Hoos do everything in
an unusual and unconventional style, that
being one of their customs. one Of the
advocates OF state organization gave his
own argument a death stab when he sug-
gested that the present system Is bizarre,
and unlike that followed by the Masons.
odd Fellows and other orders. The Hoo
Hoos generally decided il was for that very
reason they would adhere to il.
The committee was unanimously in fav-
or of the proxy system. Mr. Sullwell left
last night for Waycross. where he will
attend a meeting of lumbermen. nearly
all of whom are Hoo-HOOs as we'll. He
will sound them upon the subject and
doubtless discover their desire 20 have the
Old order prevail. Upon the sentiment of
the state as discovered a these meetings,
the Georgia delegates will determine their
action when the proposed change comes be-
fore the annual for consideration.
Mr. StillweN will leave Monday for Dem
yer. 1t is expected that Mr.. William Den
hardt. vice-gerent shark OF the Eastern
District of Georgia, will also make the
trip. The other delegates viii be Mr.. A.
c. Banks of Brunswick, Mr.. Charles T
Degen of Augusta, and Mr.. Harry W.
Anderson of Atlanta.

willing to Take Chances in Cuba
Some days ago the Morning News print
ed an item that immune stenographers
and typewriters were needed in the GUS
toms service al Havana, and that the
collector at Savannah had been asked by
the department to find out If there were
any such here that are available.
Since the publication of the govern
ment's need of stenographers and type
writer's upwards of fifty letters and in
quiries have been received by the collec-
tor In reference to the positions. Many
of the inQuirers are not immunes but are
willing TO take their chances with the
fever if they can get job. The govern
ment only desires immunes, however. 1t
does not want its work to suffer by the
likelihood of employees to be attacked by
the fever. A number of the applicants
whose credentials and information SEEM
ed satisfactory were referred to the treas
ury department.

WEATHER BUREAU IN NEW HOME.
Moved From Board of Trade Build

Moved From Board of Trade Build
ing to New PostOmce.
The weather bureau began moving into
its new home in the postofice building
yesterday morning. and by night-faH the
greater part of such furniture as win be
moved and all the apparatus had been
transferred.
A number of men were busy last night
putting things in shape, and it is expect
ed that they viii finish their work some
time to-day The task of moving was rap
idly done. and the only delay was that of
the electricians in making telephone con-
Rections and attaching the photographic
cable. How important the latter instru-
ment is to the bureau will be recognized
when it is known that it registers auto
maticaliy a continuous record of she va
riatiOns in atmospheric pressure, amount
OF sunshine or rainfall, and direction and
velocity OF the wind Had this part of the
work been finished the bureau would have
been IN ship shape" within a few hours
after the transfer OF the instruments.
The bureaus new quarters consist Of
two rooms number POI and POP on the sec
ond floor. at the northwest corner of the
building, and also a room in the tower
where records will be filed and where the
printing of maps, records, etc, viii be
done.
A platform has been built on the Bull
street side of the roof. and on this pat
form win be placed the various meteoro-
logical instruments. These are the in
struments that will be connected by cable
with the recording machines In the Office
on the second floor
Much of the furniture now being put in
place is entirely new, and the rooms when
the work is done, will be very attractive.

JURY LISTS COMPLETE.
commissioners Have Finished Their
Work for the Two Courts.

commissioners Have Finished Their
Work for the Two Courts.
The jury commissioners, who have been
engaged in revising the grand and petit
jury lists of the Superior Court for the
last three weeks, completed their work
yesterday afternoon The result of their
work is that there are 2i3 names on the
grand jurors list and 1925 names on the
petit jurors list. AS these names are Sc
lected from several thousand names on
the county tax digest and the list of regis
tered voters, Chatham county should have
a frst-class jury list.
The experience of the court officials,
however. is that about 10 per cent of those
whose names are on the list escape jury
duty by exemptions and excuses. BY law
all policemen hremen and other city en-
ployes. engineers and other employees of
the operating departments Of railways,
expressmen and telegraph operators, doc
tors and dentists are exempt from jury
duty. When TO these are added the large
number who hold military exemptions it
will be readily seen why 1t is that large
percentage of those drawn on each jury
panel fail to serve. OF the 1,S25 names on
the petit jury list 1t is estimated that
about 1000 will do jury duty.
The City Court has no separate jury list,
simply adopting that of the Superior
Court.

THERE is much food for thought
for the leaders in the fusion reform
parties in Colorado today. To the
democratic party must be conced-
ed the first place, although not in
any sense entitled thereto from a
preponderencc of votes. In the
face of such fact. however, such
men as Ex-Governor James
b. Grant, a gentleman who has
always been an uncompromising
democrat, unhesitatingly and un-
equivocally withdraws from the
state organization and the party in
power, and modestly casts his lot
with the party he has so long OPP
posed 1t means much to the state
as "A commonwealth. The TRIBUNE
does not wish to be understood ms
holding Mr.. Grant up as n savior,
but he is one of Colorado's solid
and conservative citizens, and his
action will be the undoubted means
of leading many others in he same
direction. Mr.. Grants statement
of the reason why he cast his lot
with the republican party is most
satisfactory. Following closely in
the footsteps of Mr. Grant comes
that other old line democrat Nat
Nathan, one who for twenty years
has been foremost in all democratic
