THEIR LIVES IN VARIOUS SEC
TIoNs AS RESULT OF THE
PRIZE FIGHT.

New York, July 7,-hnvestigatiOn
shows that fourteen were killed and
over 800 were injured in riots, which
was the result Of the Reno prize
fight.
In the South the disorder was less
than in Northern states, the most
serious outbreak being in Washing

may die. | nearly every instance
the whites were to blame.
In New York and Philadelphia the
situation looked serious for a time

police in both cities been alert there
would have been much tbloodshed.

MADE A LONG SEA
VOYAGE IN A
TINY BOAT
DARING YOUNG EXPLORER ENDS
A 15,o0o-MILE TRIP IN A LITTLE
FiFTYFooT LAUNcH.-SPENT
SMALL FORTUNE.

Paris, July IA hardy young ex-
plorer, Mr.. Rallier du Baty, who ac-
companied DR.. Charcot on his prev
ious anarctic expedition, returned to-
day from an adventurous voyage to
which he and his brother Herr devot-
the whole of their small fortunes.
Two and half years ago they pur-
chased a Boulogne fishing boat fifty
five feet in length, renamed her the
]. B. Charcot, and, having fitted her
out with the aid Of some friends, set
sail with crew of four other young
companions for the desert islands of
Kerguelen, in the south of the Indian
Ocean. In the forty-ton fishing boat
they have successfully completed a
voyage of $4,000 miles. After a fine
outward trip as far as Rio deJaneiro,
they encountered a terrible cyclone
between that port and the island of
Tristan da Cunha, which was reach
ed in twenty days form Rio. There
they found poulation of eighty souls
which they describe as half civilized
and as of English origin.
From Tristan da Cunha to Kergue-
len took another months sailing. The
little boat was buffeted by heavy
storms off the cape, but the desert
isle was safely reached in March,
1908. Fifteen months were spent in
exporting the island, making sctep-
titic observations and hunting seals.
d. NJ wember the monotonous life
was varied by the arrival of Nor
wegian steamer. The only other
vessel that visited the island during
their prolonged stay was a French
sealer.
In June last year the party started
for Australia. They had a terrible
passage one storm after another was
encountered, and several times all
hope was abandoned. 1t was only by
throwing out oil that the boat was
kept af1oat. Melbourne was reached
after two years absence from civili-
zation. The sale OF the seal oil col
lected suficed to- pay the small
crews, but for long time all efforts
to sell the now sadly deteriCrated
fishing boat proved unavailins.
The young explorer was six months
in Melbourne before he managed to
disyOse CT the craft to q Numean
captain for a handful Of gold This
he says. was his ransom, and with
heart rather heavy at parting with
the vessel that had safely carried
him ever $4,000 miles of ocean, he
took the passenger steamer from
which he landed at MarsseilIes and
came on to Paris. He will report on
his voyage and observations to the
academy and the geographical So
ciety.

time there. He went for the purpose
OF renewing old associations, seeing
his relatives ETC., but he certainly
renewed old associations. He met

the long ago-older but more beau
tiful. Peter returned to this coun-
try with new energy, new life and a
new determination to some day re-

getic business man and has made a
success here.

be asked, it would be denied.

CITY WAS STRUCK
BY ELECTRIC
STORM
BOLTS OF LIGHTNING PLAYED
FRANKS ON ELECTRIC WIRES
FOR A TIMES-NO SERIOUS
DAMAGE RESULTED.

Brunswick was visited by quite a
serious electric storm late yesterday
afternoon, which, for a time, played
navoc with electric wires, striking
several of those of the Mutual Light
and Water company, as well as one
or two of the telegraph and telephone
companies.
While no real serious damage was
done, it was feared for a time that
the trolley line would again suffer,
as one of the cars was struck and
put out Of business. AS soon as the
lightning started to playing so reck-
aessly about the city the cars were
stopped and the power cut off in or
der to prevent a serious accident.
For a few minutes every electric
light in the city was out as the
result of bolt which struck many of
the wires of the company. AS soon
as the lightning put many of the
lights out of business the company
Shut off the power, thus cutting out
all lights, but it was only few min
utes before they were turned on
again.
The wires in the rear of the Ogle-
thorpe hotel were also damaged by a
bolt, which played around the big
hostelry for few seconds, putting
it in absolute darkness until the dam
age could be repaired.
Several of these Electric storms
have visited the city recvently and
each time the light and water COM
pany has suffered more or less dam
age.

Atlanta, July For the lack Of
just six votes to make up the requir-

compulsory education bill was defeat
ed in the house this afternoon.
The vote stood 81 for the bill an"
68 against it. and thus it is that X
though a majority of the membres =
the house favored the measure, 1t
was defeated, owing to the fact that
it did not receive the constitutional

DR.. j. R. Littleton, of Richmond
county, who has been one of the lead
ers in the fight for the passage of the
bill, announced that at the proper
time he would move to have the bill
reconsidered, and the advocates Of

makers during the present session,

quired majority when the bill comes
up for reconsideration

has employed a larger number Of in

ought to be sufficiently large to en-
able the inspector to spend one en-
tire day al each camp during each
month.

is too great. They should be sent

MADE Report
PENITENTlARY COMMITTEE DES
cRlBEs CONVICT CAMPS UN-
DER NEW LAW.

The report of the joint penitentia-
ry committee from the sente and
house was submitted to the house
Wednesday by Representative Fer
NOR Barrett, chairman of the house
committee in penitentiary.
The report shoys that approximate
ly $500 men are now building public
highways in Georgia and that the in
spection of the convict camp has
been thorough and submitted to the
committee on penitentiary.
The report shows that approximate
marl1able degree the letter, as well
as the spirit, of the rules and regula-
tions of the prison commission have
Deen carried out.
In one county convicts were found
making rice fer market.
In another county guards were
! paid $50 per month in direct viola
tion of the law.
The state is supposed to pay the
wardens, but the committee says this
is carried out only in theory and not
in practice. 1t draws the line closely
as to whether the county or the state
owns the convicts.
The committee estimates the value
IF the road-building equipment in
the state, including stock, is s1,500,
Geo. During the past year 5000
miles of road have been graded and
made permanent and $4,000 miles
have to some extent been improved,
The committee places the cost Of
maintaining tde convicts at varying
prices Of from 40 cents per day each
to $1.50. The average it places at
from 80 cents to 80 cents
The committee recommends anoth-
er stocHade at the state farm, 50 the
races can be entirely separated, l.
terms the state farm nothing more
nan an infirmary.
A part of the report follows:
Some Abuses Shown.
There have been some abuses.
The camps and the management OF
the same in some of the counties
showed a higher degree of conform
ity with the law than in others.
''In one mine county the convicts
were to a large extent, making rice
for the market; in another guards
we're. in violation of the law, paid
$50 per month, in several proper
weekly reports were not made to the

culosis patients were found confin-
ed with healthy convicts; in several
the quarters, as to size, equipment
and cleanliness were not up to the
rrison commission; some were not
feeding as required by the rules; in
more than one county the sick were
quartered in the county jail; one or
more guards under the age OF Il

Thanksgiving day the cOnvictS were
REQUIRED to spend the day moving the
camp instead Of being permitted to

at will be remembered that our
visits of inspection were made six or
seven months after the conylcts
were placed upon the roads. The
commission had three inspectors to
visit and report upon about $50
camps. The convicts in many in
stances were in the hands Of per-
sons who were entirely inexperienced
in the handling Of convicts. There

irregularities were found.

PRIMARY RULES
THEY ARE EXPLAINED BY
CHAIRMAN OF THE STATE
COMMITTEE.

Several doubtful points about the
rules to govern the state democratic
primary in Georgia on August %,
that are said to be worrying num-
Der of people, are explained by
Hewlett Hall, chairman of the state
executive committee. Mr.. Hall will
succeed Judge Hart in Office on July
Is, which is the effective date of the
latter's resignation to enter actively
on his campaign for governor.
Mr.. Hall makes clear the provis-
icns of the rules about prorating of
convention votes, and Single shoot
ing" or voting for only one candi-
date where there are more than one
vancancy to be filed will not be per-
mitted. If, for instance, two rail-
road commissioners are to be chos-
en-, two candidates must be voted for,
A voter may strike all the candidates
under one head and vote for none
of them. He may strike the whole
ticket, but candidate or candi-
dates for one or more offices under
one head.
The printed rules governing the
primary are plain, and for the sake
of convenience have been catalogued
so that they are easy of reference.
Superior court judges and sOlici-
tor general candidates will be voted
on only in the counties of their dis
tricts, and not in the whole state,
though they will appear on the state
ticket in their districts.
To entitle him to the entire con-
vention vote Of county a candidate
must receive a majority OF the votes
cast in that county. Otherwise tae
vote will be provated, but not less
than one-fourth of a vote will be
counted in the convention,
The multiple that forms the basis
for representation in the convention
is for each representative in the
lower house of tae general assembly

il is entitled to one member the null
tiple is s; if to two members, the

For each member of the house of
representatives to which it is en-
titled, the convention has two dele

WHY NOT CONSERVE OUR HUI.
MAN RESOURCES?

The conservation of our natural
resources is of great Importance. the
fields, forests, water powers, miner
al wealth, the development of good
roads, the Improvement of our ma
tional waterways, the conservation
of the fertility of our soil, the con
seryation of our live stock, our horses
our cattle, our sheep, our swine, but
far more important is the conserya-
ton of human life and of the physi-
cal efficiency of the American peo-
pie. Why conserve coal mines and
not conserve the life of the coal min
er? Why conserve the cotton plant
and expend Five Hundred thousand
to fight the boil weeyil and not con-
serve the people, who are to be cloth
ed with the cotton?
Why conserve the orange tree and
fight the San Jose scale, and not con
serve the people who eat oranges?
Why conserve the life of the forest

and of his children?
Why protect tree life and plant life
and neglect human life?
Why protect cattle from Texas few
er and not protect people from ty-
phoid and maIarial fever?
Why protect pigs and forget the
children?
Everybody agrees to the wisdom of
this proposition. The real question
is how shall we accomplish this? l
believe in a Department. of Public
Health, because, in fighting disease
and in fighting death due to prevent
able disease, it is a contest between
intelligence and ignorance, and all
the authority, dignity and power of
the general Government must be put
behind the truth and\behind the best
methods of dealing with disease in
order to make the people realize its
value and it's truth.
