Lively Contest ChaTaGtefizes An-
 nuaI Election OfOrganizatiOO
COMMITTEE TURNED DOWN
Body Refused to Accept Their NomI. nations and Held Election In Open Meeting-To Give
 Smoker In July.

The meeting of the Board of Trade yes- ever held by the organization owing to the election of officers. The heated con- tests were taken by the members to mean that interest in the club was in- creasing and they all predict much greater activity during the coming year.
 The election of officers resulted as fol- lows:
 MT. J. T. Collins, president; MT. J. H. McCary, first vice-president; MT. Oliver Chalifoux, second e-president; MT. Si- mon Klotz, third vice-president; MT. H. H. sinnige, fourth vice-president; Mir Coleman Blach, treasurer; MT. Roy Me Collough, secretary.
 The board also requested the board of control to elect MT. John w. Tomlinson attorney for the Board, which will be done.
 The contests commenced soon after the board was called to order. Several ob- jected to the ticket which was placed in nomination by the committee appoint ed to nominate the officers. MT. John w. O'Neill moved the report be tabled, with a vote of thanks to the com mittee. Ills motion was amended by MT Rotholz, who moved the report be accepted and the committee be dismissed with a vote of thanks.
 The members then discussed open cleo ton and nominations by committee. The board was divided and for harmony 1t was moved the election be postponed un- til the third Wednesday in the month, that being the day on which the election should be held according to the by-laws. This was voted down and motion was made to lay aside the bylaws and hold the election. This was passed. and the election was held with the above re- suit.
 Repeated efforts were made to elect MT. T. V. Boardman and MT. John w. O'Neill as vice-presidents, but they both declined, stating they preferred to serve in the ranks.
 The report of the nominating commit tee. which was defeated, nominated MT. J. T. Collins, president; MT. T. V. Board- man, first vice-president; MT. J, M. Dew berry, second vice-president; Mir. Simon Klotz. third vice-president; Mir Ferd Marx, fourth vice-president; MT. John Parker, fifth vice-president; MT. Colman Blach, treasurer; MT Roy Mccullough, secretary and MT. John W.

CHILD BITTEN ON
 HAND BY A DOG
ANIMAL ATTACKS LITTLE DAUGH- TER OF MIR. ALEX T. LONDON. AT FIRST FEARED THAT THE ANIMAL WAS RABiD.

Rachel. the little daughter of MT. Alex London, was bitten on the third finger of the left hand Monday afternoon by g. small dog which 1t Is feared was mad. Yesterday morning the same dog tore the sleeve from the dress of little Bessie Patterson, the daughter of MT. c. R. Pat terson, but It's teeth cid not scratch the skin.
 The dog; which belonged to MT. Fred Bowron, was killed yesterday and par tially examined by Dr. T. D. Parke, who gave 1t as hls opinion that the dog was not suffering of rabies. The head of the dog was, however, sent to the Pasteur Institute In Atlanta to be examined. The institute is in charge of Dr. Claude Smith, considered one of the experts of the south on this subject.
 Notwithstanding the fact that the dog was not considered mad, every precsu- ton has been taken by MT. London to prevent i'll effects The bite was on the end of the third firger of the left hand. There has been no inflammation or swell ing and Dr. Parke gives this as evidence that the dog was not rabid.
 Should any unfavorabie symptoms de- Velop rom the wound 1t Is probable MT. London will take his daughter to Atlanta for treatment at the Pas,eur Institute.
 The children were playing in MT. Lon dons yard, Avenue l. aud Twenty-f1rst street, when his daughter was bitten.

NEGRO TRIES TO CROSS .. BUT IS ARRESTED
Judqe Coleman Fines Driver g Who Wants to Pass the Court
 House.

The block on Twenty-frst street be- tween Third and Fourth avenues still re- mains closed to travel during the sessions of the Circuit Court. Ropes are stretched across the street and a deputy sits in the shade at each end of the block and when a vehicle comes along he gets up and stops it. The ropes are let down to allow street cars to pass.
 Yesterday negro named Frank Wil- Hams, who drives one of the city's wag- ons, attempted to drive along this block He was arrested and carried before Judge Coleman, who fined him g and told him the next time he uid it he would be sent to jail. J. H. Sparks, city time keeper, went security for the payment of the fine and the negro was released.
 It is thought that the negro was order ed by the city authorities to attempt to drive along the block in order that they might bring the matter into the courts and there test the authority of Judge Coleman to pass such an order.
 City Attorney E. D. Smith stated yes- terday that the city would make an ap- plication for a mandamus this week in the supreme court to direct the street to be reopened.
 The street Is closed from a. m. to 12:3O p. m., and from p. m. to D. m.
