HULL OF TENNESSEE
STARTS SHARP CONTEST

WASHINGTON, June IA sharp con-
test developed In the house today over the
motion of Representative Hull, of Ten
nessee, to call upon the state department
for information gathered through diplo-
matte channels in regard to wages and
cost of production in foreign countries
except Germany. Chairman Payne, of the
ways and means committee, read a letter
from Assistant Secretary Wilson, stat
ing that the department had no informa-
ton which exactly met the request of the
resolution.
Mr.. Hull then offered amendments to
make 1t clear that he desired the reports
transmitted to the ways and means COM
mittee.
Mr.. Payne opposed the request, saying
that all members of the house were priv
ileged to inspect the reports on the same
conditions as those imposed on the COM
mittee of keeping them confidential
Some of the consular agents, Mr.. Payne
said, stated that the information was re-
ceived under a pledge to regard the in
formation as confidential
IF we ever expect to show our face
to the world, and ask for further infor>
nation, we had better observe this con-
dition," declared Mr.. Payne.
"A parliamentary dispute as to prece-
dents arose when Mr.. Hull moved the
previous question on his amendments and
resolution, and Mr.. Payne moved to lay
the entire matter on the table. Finally
Mr. Payne's motion was held to be in or
der, and a vote was ordered, resulting 1O2
ayes to so noes. A point of no quorum
was made by Mr.. Hull, whereupon Mr.
Payne moved to adjourn until Monday,
and another roll call was ordered. The
motion prevailed, and at 1:24 p. m. the
house adjourned. 49,.

DR. George Brown, one of the repre-
sentatives-elect from Fulton county, was
educated at the North Georgia Agricul-
tural college, and when quite a young
man went west, entering the railroad
service in the republic of Mexico. He
returned to Atlanta in 1890, and COM
menced the practice of his profession in
this city as a specialist on diseases or
the throat.
He was secretary of the American Con-
gress on tuberculosis, the first organiza-
ton formed in America to combat that
dread disease; and was afterwards vice
president of the congress. He was the
first president of the American Anu-Tu-
berculosis league, an association which
numbered 5000 physicians, the first year
it was organized.
Dr. Brown was a member of the old
Gate City Guards, which was in its time
one of the crack military companies OF
Georgia. He was lieutenant colonel and
aide on the staff of Governor Gambler, and
was afterwards transferred 10 the medical
department, serving as surgeon general
Of the Georgia state troops under Gov
ernor Terrell and Governor Smith. Dur
ing Governor Smiths administration he
was retired with the full rank of colonel,
which he still holds.
DR.. Brown drafted the bill which au-
thorized the first commission for the
study of tuberculosis in the southern
states. This commission was appointed
by Governor Terrell.
In 1908 Dr. Brown established the first
sanitarium for the treatment of tubercu-
losis in this section of the country. 1t is
situated mile and half from Piedmont
park on the north side of5Atlanta.
DR.. Brown made his race for the legis-
lature upon one platform, that the state
be made TO take care of the tubercular
poor. He was the first physician in the
state to agitate the building Of a state
sanitarium for the benefit of these poor
sufferers, and his work is soon to be real
lied in this cause
DR.. Brown was married in January, 1905.

Southbend railway, operates a line from
South Bend to Kensington, Ill.
The special wreck train carrying 20 of
the injured, arrived at South Bend at
2:10 a. m.
Most of the injured were TOO nervous to
even given an intelligent idea of the
wreck.
CONDUCTOR SHOWED ORDERS.
Courtes Kline, of South Bend, states
that the eastbound car had the right Of
way. the crew having orders to pass the
westbound car a point two miles farther
east. The conductor on the eastbound
car had the orders in his pocket and
showed them to injured passengers.

ciate his work. In addition to the pub
lie offices already told OF, Judge Fair
cloth served two terms as chairman of
