SHORTAGE IN STATE LIBRARY
BOOKS AND PLATES MISSING.
Property of State Worth $4,000 Has
Disappeared.

Atlanta, Ca, Jan. 10.-As the result
of an inventory taken in the state Ii
brary by direction of Mrs. Maude Bar
ker Cobb, state librarian, it is alleged
that there is a big shortage of books
and of plates for making reprints
which belong to and should be in the
possession of the state.
1t is charged that the shortage in
books, consisting of Georgia acts and
other documents which should be in
the library, is approximately $4,000.
1t is also alleged that the value Of
the plates for making reprints Of state
books, which should be in the posses
sion of the library, but cannot be
found, estimated at $3.50 each, is APP
proximately $4,000.
The value fthe total property in
books and plates alleged to be missing
is placed at nearly $4,000.
The shortage is said to have &C.
Cured under an administration prior
to that of Mrs. Cobb, whose investiga-
lions have just brought it to light. II
is due to the failure of the then public
printed to deliver all of the books and
plates for which the state paid.
The matter has been reported to
Gov. Brown, and he has referred it to
Attorney General John S. Hart for in
vestigation.

Sarged with involuntary manslaught-

from a disease easily cured, or at least
palliated, by a simple surgical opera
ton.
The jury, without consultation,
brought in verdict of guilty.
William Brown, district attorney,
told the jury the boy had been i'll a
long time, his condition grew worse
until it attracted the general atten-
ton of the neighborhood. But the
father never called in a doctor, he said,
and the boy died absolutely without
medical attention.
A dropsical condition of the abdo-
men was the cause of death. The lit
tie fellow became so deformed by the
disease that he was unable to walk
and on the Sunday previous to his
death the father carried him to the
Christian Science church in his arms.
Sitting beside the accused during the
trial were Ambrose Clark, the pastor

HASTE IN WHITE HOUSE
A THING OF THE PAST
Visitors Are JOIIied While
They Wait.

washington, Jan. lots curious
and interesting little struggle that's on
between Congress, or a portion of it,
and the White House as to appofnt-
ments for conferences, and the general
question of getting at" the Chief Exc
cutlve. And while it wages with deem
emotion and some temporary bitter
ness on the part of few Congress-
men, President Taft takes it all pla-
cldly as he does everything else.
Inc real sufferers are Fred Carpen-
ter's private secretary and Rudolph
Forster, assistant secretary.
The kicker then was the man who
was pushed through the White House
with the rapidity of a pig being sent
through one of the packing houses of
the West. The kicker now is the fell
low who has such important business
That he cannot wait to be ground
through at all, and who frequently re-
fers to the ease with which he could
see President Roosevelt.
ROOseVelt'S WAY.
President Roosevelt made Compare
lively few private appointments. and
saw the majority of his Congressional
and other callers practically en- masse.
merely taking one to one side at a
time, finishing him or her in quick ar
der, and then taking a few steps to the
next one. That's how many good news
items leaked out of the White House.
The caller would overhear what Mr..
Roosevelt was saying to another. and
then tell his good newspaper friends.
When Mr.. Roosevelt did see callers
behind closed doors his nervous nature
quickly finished the interview unless
the subject was one of extreme i'm
portance.
In the first part of his administra-
ton President Taft could have little
privacy, his own room and the waiting
rooms being so closely connected that
the voices of callers could be heard
Just outside the closed door.
The New Way.
The new addition to the executive
ofhces has changed all this. The Presi-
dent has a large, comfortable private
room separated by a wide hall from
the waiting rooms. He does not see
the impatient strides of Senator So
and-So as he walks backward and for
ward across the congressional waiting
room, often glancing toward the pres
1dential door to see how soon he viii
get in. The President is content that
he is having satisfactory talk with
the man ahead of the Senator.
He doesn't see the congressional
callers going away from Mr.. Carpen-
ter's door with wry faces because they
have been told that the Presidents ap-
pointment list is crowded for the next
week or ten days and that it will | be
impossible to make an engagement be-
fore that time. He does not see the
half dozen Congressman who have
strolled in without appointments.
Fred Carpenter, however,
md knows it all. Once in
Sg he venture to speak of it to the
calm big man sitting in the main Of
fee.
