LEGISLATURE TAKES A HAND
No Power Above or Below Can Beat
That Asylum Crowd, Said Joe
Hall in Attack on Institution.

ATLANTA.-Before adjournment
last night the house and senate both
passed a resolution providing for the
appointment of a joint committee to
investigate during the recess the
charges which have been preferred
against the state sanitarium, which
were recently investigated by a COM
mission named by former Governor
Smith. There was quite debate
over it in the house, where it was
charged that conditions at the sani-
tarium were not what they should
be. When the resolution got to the
senate it was passed without debate
or opposition.
Mr.. Henderson of Irwin asked for
an investigation on behalf of the in
stitution, he said Mr.. Vinson of
Baldwin said that as a representa-
tive from Baldwin county and as the
defender and protector of the insti-
tuition since these charges have been
made public, and as this was the
only way the legislature could deal
with them he favored the appoint
ment of an Investigating committee.
He asserted that there was no cor
ruption in the management, and that
the affairs of the sanitarium had
been economically handled He re-
sented the unwarranted attacks that
had been made upon it, and well
coined any investigation which would
enable the sanitarium officials to
prove these attacks unfounded.
Halls Sizzling Attack.
Mr.. Hall of Bibb while opposing
the appointment of the legislative
committee made a bitter attack on
the sanitarium, declaring it to be
the worst managed institution in the
state
There is not enough power in
heaven or hell to beat that santa
rum crowd" he said.
They can get around any legis-
latiye committee you send down
there.
There was man there who was
proved to be absolutely unworthy.
| He had spent thousands of dollars
| OF the states money without rem
dering any account of it. His removal
was recommended, and yet when the
democratic convention met in Macon
he was placed on the executive COM
mittee by the reform crowd. All
kinds of Irregularities have been
proved against this institution by the
investigating commission, but YOU
can't do anything"

ONCE OWNED CRIPPLE CREEK
ROBERT WONACK DIES IN Pow
ERTY IN COLORADO SPRINGS.
Muttered to the Last Over the S1O,-
100000 Claim He Sold for $500.
Was One of Forty Miners.

Muttered to the Last Over the $1O,-
100000 Claim He Sold for $500.
Was One of FOrty-Niners.
Robert Womack, famed as the dis
coverer of Cripple Creek, is dead in
poverty at Colorado Springs, mutter-
ing to the last of new fields he hoped
yet to find to replace the ten million
claims he sold for five hundred dol
lars.
Womack was the son of a Forty
Miner" Robert Womack, Sr., who in
the latter eighties had left to his son
the heritage of a dream-that the
gold which the father had sought in
vain for forty years would be re-
vealed near Cripple Greek if the son
kept up the search. The father
died; young Womack took his place
as a prospector, and in spite of the
jeers of others ranged close about
the Greek country with shovel and
divining rod for twenty years.
Then one day in 1901 he hit the
yellow ledge. His friends told him
it was fools gold" his brother-in-
law and partner took it to the near
est assay Office only after days Of
protest. He came back with gov
eminent certificate to show that the
find" averaged eleven hundred dol
lars to the ton.
That news made Bob Womack one
day and broke him two days after
ward. For, after stalking out every
claim throughout the length and
breadth of the gold lead he went into
town, spent all his nuggets over a
bar and at a nearby roulette table,
sold all his claims for five hundred
dollars more in order to make a
final wager on the red-and a week
later was digging gold with a shovel
for the man who had bought his
rights to one of the greatest mines
the world has ever known.
For the last five years of his life
Womack had been too decrepit to
work. FOR two years he had lain
bedridden in a little lodging house.
