DROWNING OF STUDENT
SUBJECT OF Statement
Gallaudet President Sure Every Ef-
fort Possible Was Made to
Save Baxter Mosey.

To correct any false impression that
might have been caused by conflicting
stories. the president of Gallaudet Col
lege has issued a statement setting forth
that Baxter Mosey, the student who was
drowned last Saturday, sank only after
heroic efforts to rescue him failed, the
failure resulting because a fellow-student
became exhausted.
This same young man. according to
the statement, recovered sufficiently after
a brief rest to dive and bring the body
of Mosey to the surface. where a party
of students was waiting. They applied
every known means of resuscitation for
more than an hour, without result.

Mosey's peculiar actions in the water and
the failure of artificial respiration to pro-

the assumed name of Andre Beau
mont. He will receive the capital prize
of $4,000 as a result of his victory.
Six aviators finished the flight with
Conneau. Vedrine, who had been in
the lead, had the misfortune to be de-
layed with motor trouble near Amiens

drine had been well in the lead for a
good part of the way and it was con-
fidently expected that he would win.
Lieutenant Conneau was actually in
flight for a total of So hours, 36 min
utes and as seconds.

REPORT ISSUED
ON DRAINAGE
STATE GEOLOGICAL SURVEY OUT
WITH A VERY INTEREST.
ING REPORT.

The state geological survey has
just issued a very valuable and timely
report on the drainage of swamps and
overflow lands of Georgia. Owing to
the great interest recently manifest.
throughout the state in this question,
brought about in a measure by the
activity of the Georgia Drainage as.
sociations, this report will no doubt,
be eagerly read by the citizens of
the state.
The publication is a preliminary
report on the drainage conditions of
the state, giving in some detail what
has already been done toward investi-
eating these lands and what their re-
clamatiun would actually mean toward
improving agricultural interests and
health conditions of the state.
The report, in addition to giving de-
tailed information concerning the
work done by the state geological
survey on swamp Investigations, also
contains number of preliminary ex-
aminations and surveys made by the
drainage bureau of the United States
department of agriculture. The lat
ter part of the publication embraces
preliminary records on the examina-
tions of the drainage conditions in
Bryan, Chatham, Clinch, Glynn, Lib
erty, Mcintosh and Telfair counties,
and reports on the proposed drainage
improvement of McRae Branch, Tel
fair county, the Berry School farm.
T'ovd county. and Mulberry river,
Jackson county.
Forming an appendix to the report
is the proposed drainage law pre-
pared by the legislative committee of
the Georgia drainage congress. This
bill, which it is hoped will be enacted
into law by the general assembly
now in session, has been compiled
with great deal of care and contains
all of the best features of an up-to-
date drainage law.
The report makes the statement
that Georgia has a greater extent of
swamp and overflow lands than any
of the Atlantic seaboard states, ex-
cept Florida. The total swamp and
overflow land area is estimated at
2,75O,OOO acres, which is approximate
ly LA of the area of the entire state
These lands, which embrace some OF
the most fertile and productive lands
OF Georgia, at present pay not only
little or no revenue to the state in
the form of taxes, but they are in
many places a great menace to public
health by being the breeding places
of disease producing mosquitoes and
other obnoxious insects.
The report comprises 13 pages, 19
Illustrations and five maps. Copies
may be obtained for the price of the
postage, which is eight cents, by ap
plication to the state geological de
partment

A BAD DISASTER
JUST AVERTED
PANIC AMONG PASSENGERS
WHEN A BIG STEAMER
WENT ASHORE.

New York, July THE excursion
steamer Grand Republic, bound for
Far Rockaway beach, struck on rock
off Coney island this morning.
The steamer carried 1900 passen-
gers and Immediately following the
shock of the grounding, a panic en-
sued among the passengers, most Of
whom were women. The officers and
crew worked >heroically to quiet the
terror-stricken crowd, many of whom
were with difficulty restrained from
hurting themselves overheard to es-
cape from the stricken vessel.
The steamer was finally floated
once more and was able to proceed
under her own steam to the city where
the passengers were landed at the
Steeplechase pier.
The Grand Republic Is sister ves-
sci of the ill-fated General Slocum,
which was burned in East river seven
years ago, with loss of thousand
lives.

KARBOR WORK
At THIS PORT
CONTRACT FOR WORK WILL BE
AWARDED BY COL. kiNGMAN
NEXT FRIDAY.
Jetties are to Be Rehabilitated and
Other Work Done in the Harbor un-
der Recent Appropriation Made by
Congress.

Bids will be opened in Savannah
next Friday for Improvements to be
made on Brunswick's inner harbor by
the government, including consider
able work on the jetties, dredging of
the inner harbor and other such i'm
provements. The work is to be done
under an appropriation secured by
Congressman Brantley at the last ses-
sion of congress.
The Savannah News of yesterday
has the following article in connection
with the opening of the bids:
"On July II, a week from today,
bids will be opened by Col. Dan G..
Kingman for the improvement of the
training walls in Brunswick harbor
This means practically the rehabilita-
tion of the jetty work, the placing of
stone and the driving of piles in vari-
Gus places.
The contracts submitted today for
the removal of hard material from
the harbor having been practically re-
jected may again necessitate the gov
ernment taking charge of the jetty
work. 1t has been shown by recent
work that the government can per-
form many of the contracts at very
low cost. 1t is expected, however,
that several bids will be offered for
the training wall project, because this
is appreciably easier than the con-
tract sought today"

SENATOR WILL
NOT HAVE TO
RESIGN PLACE
RESOLUTION TO THIS EFFECT IS
KILLED IN BOTH HOUSE
AND SENATE.
It Provided that Whoever Was Elected
Senator Should Resign Before the
Next Democratic Primary and
Make Race Before People.

Atlanta, July THE clouds that
arose In the legislature on Thursday
and hung low over the situation with
reference to the election of an United
States senator was wiped out this
morning when the senate and house
swept aside the resolution proposing
that the successful candidate for the
senate before the legislature should
Immediately resign after his election
and submit his claims to the people
at the next democratic primary.
This resolution was introduced in
the senate by Senator Shaw and in the
house by Representative Deese on
Thursday, and both resolutions came
up for action today. In the senate
the resolution was Indefinitely post
poned by vote of 36 to and in the
house the same action was taken by a
viva voce vote.
An indefinite postronement In the
Legislature means death to the meas
ure. There is absolutely no chance
that either of the resolutions will
come up again at this session of the
legislature. i@M
The resolutions provided that as
soon as senator was elected by the
joint assembly that he tender his res
ignation, to be become effective after
a selection had been made in a demo-
cratic primary. In other words, its
intention was for the legislature to
elect a senator at this session, who
was to serve until the next democra-
tic primary, when he must submit
his claims to the people. Very few
supporters of the measure ever ex-
pected its passage.
