GRAND JURYH|TS
LOCKER CLUBS
Recommends That Legislature
Institute Reforms Urge Ad-
ditionaI Superior Judge.

Atlanta locker clubs will he forced to
60 slow if the recommendations that the
Fulton county grand jury made to Judge
Pendleton today carry weight with the
Georgia legislature
In making its presentments the jury
took occasion to censure the conduct Of
the Atlanta locker clubs and recommended
that the legislature make these organt-
cations real social clubs instead Of bar
rooms, as the jury asserts they have in
many instances become.
Want Another Judge.
The jury strongly urged that the legis-
lature give Fulton county an additional
superior court Judge to conduct the Grim
inal division The jury found the Fulton
county jail to be crowded with accused
men awaiting trial and the present system
of three Judges utterly Inadequate.
What Grand Jury Urges.
Briefly the 5ury's recommendations are:
Stringent laws for locker clubs
An additional superior court Judge
Abolition of the justice court system,
with recommendations for a municipal
court.
Padded cells for lunatics in the Tower.
improvements in the grounds and build
ings at the county aims house.
Additional power to the juvenile court.
a reformatory- for negro boys.
A law to make it a misdemeanor to CON
tribute to the waywardness or delinquency
of a minor
A law to make the purchase of salaries
by loan companies on an interest basis Of
more than per cent a month INSIDE
meanor
The line between petit larceny and
grand larceny be raised from $50 to 500
The renting Of quarters in the Temple
Court building for the records of the
office Of tax collector
That the recommendations of the grand
jury be followed.
officers Are PRAISED,
The county institutions and officials,
without execution, We're commended. The
city police We're congratulated for their
work in rounding MP blind tigers. and it
was recommended that the recorder be
given more power to deal with violat6rs
of the prohibition law
Contrary to the findings Of several other
juries, today,s report showed that crime
in Atlanta was not greater than in other
cities of the same size. The Atlanta po-
lice, this jury asserted, were handling the
situation in an efficient manner

! opportunities to make enemies
In the immediate past, the speakership
has been held by such men as the late
Senator CLAY former Governor John NJ.
Slaton. National Committeeman Clark
Howell Senator Bacon and others Of
more tina nstatewide fame
It furnishes a man in public life in
Georgia a means whereby lasting and in
1uential political friendships may be es-
tabished and maintained
One of the prerequisites to election to
the speakership in Georgia has usually
been long continued and conspicuous
service in the house
This latter qualification Mr. Burwell
possesses in a large measure He has
been member from Hancock county a
half dozen times. and has represented
his senatorial district once
1t is not surprising that Mr.. Burwell.
in all the circumstances, seems likely to
achieve the speakership without serious
dispute from any quarter There have
been others mentioned for the honor. but
Mr. Burwells election. at this time seems
assured
Besides great executive and parlia-
mentary ability, Mr. Burwell is an ex-
tremely popular man with his collea CUES
in the present house many of whom
will come back to the next legislature
pledged to him for speaker.
Certainly there is in the Georgia legis-
ature today no more influential member
than William II. Burwe1l, of Hancock.
G. r. Hutchens, of Rome has lifted the
hoodoo that seemed of late years to pur-
sue Floyd county campaign managers.
The manager of the only campaign of
Joseph NJ. Brown that ever went to
wreck in Georgia was a Floyd county
man, and the man behind the plain
Dick Russell guns in the gubernatorial
race last fall was another one Both were
nice fellows and meant well but neither
got anywhere in particular
Hutchens put his job over magnificent
~. It hardly seemed probable that the
Floyd county hoodoo could-or would
persist forever.
Hutchens deserves much credit for lift
ing it, nevertheless,
The friends of Carl Hutchinson are con-
graduating him upon the helpful part he
played in the Underwood victory.
Mr.. Hutchinson was attached to the
state headquarters at the Aragon, and
was, in many respects, Manager Hutch
ems right-hand man.

POLITICS DELAYS
ACTION BY JURY
indictments Against Near
Beer Dealers Held Off Until
After County Primary.

The Fulton county grand jury today
returned 50 indictments against as
many near-beer dealers for failure to
pay license taxes for 1912. True bills
against 81 more dealers for attractions
in 1912 and As dealers who failed to
pay for 1911, will be returned by the
new Jury, which convenes on Monday
All tbs near-beer dealers indicted
and to be indicted had violated the
state law on January 1, 1912, and the
delay in bringing bills against them is
openly said to have been due to the fact
that an election was pending. Both
Ordinary Wilkinson and Solicitor Cen
eral Hugh Dorsey admitted that the
grand jury was not furnished with in
formation until It was requested, be-
cause of the fact that an election was
imminent The ordinary was reelected
last Wednesday.
Governor Joseph NJ Brown, acting
upon information received from the
comptroller general a month ago called
Solicitor Dorsey's attention to the fact
that the. Fulton county dealers were
making no effort to pay their state
taxes.
Fulton Only Delinquent
AS a result Fulton county is the only
county in the state that has not made
full returns for near-beer taxes to the
state treasurer. About $4,000 has been
received from Ordinary Wilkinson.
Since the election near beer dealers
have made a rush to paw their taxes,
and the books in the ordinary's office
today showed that 1872 dealers out of
200 had paid up.
T. X Glenn, foreman of the grand
jury which returned the bills, said that
the jury made the indictment upon its
own initiative, requesting the informa-
ton from the ordinary
Mr. Glenn denied that the grand Jury
had delayed action on indicting delin-
quent dealers until after election.
Glenn Explains Delay.
Our committee did not take the mat
ter up until a week ago" said Mr.
Glenn I'VE did not even think Of the
election in connection with the indict-
ment of these beer dealers 1t was our
duty TO return the bills when we dis
covered that they were delinquent
that is ALL
Solicitor General Hugh Dorsey said
today that he did not present the bills
to the jury until asked to do so by the
members of the committee who has the
matter in charge
Ordinary Wilkinson said that the law
that requires the ordinary to collect
near-beer licenses is faulty in that ii
does not give him power to enforce
collections except to give information
for criminal indictments TO the solicitor
general

The question of delegates to the Bal
timore National Democratic conven-

and attention of Mr.. Underwood's
friends in the state.

bles in Atlanta on May 20. will elect
% national delegates to Baltimore-24

those most prominent in the fight for
the successful candidate throughout

for one of the big four" places and -
appears successfully.
Mr.. Fielder was prominent :, +bA
Underwood fight. and is generally &C.
corded much of the credit for the
Alabama mans victory. He gave
great deal Of his time ana no,,+,oaI
talent to the campaign. and took the
stump at the latter stage of the con-
test
Mr. Fielder is one of Atlanta's best
known attorneys, and has figured CON
spicuously and generally successfuIlv
IN many hard fought battles in Geor-
gia.
The State Convention.
Under the rules prescribed nv +ha
state committee, the various county ex-
ecutive committees must proceed i'm
mediately to the selection of delegates
TO the state convention, which meets in
Atlanta on May 20.
In accordance with this rule several
county committees already have begun
shaping up their delegations. Those
delegations must all come from friends
of Mr.. Underwood, no matter how the
several counties may have gone in tha
primary. 1t will be solid Under
wood convention.
Local enthusiasts, in the front Of
the fight for the Alabama man. will
compose these county delegations.
Many of these delegates will be named
as national delegates.

Notwithstanding the fact that Clark

Mr. Underwood e. head the Fulton
county delegation to the state conven-
ton, he positively refuses to permit the
use of his name in that connection.

In declining. Mr. Howell said: IT

the wounding of Kell Potts. Southern
Express Company clerk. who fought a
duel to the death yesterday morning
Only one knife was found on the scene
of the tragedy. and. despite energetic
efforts on the part of police and de-
fectiVes no other knife can be found
Ihls revelation throws new light on the
possible manner in which the tragedy
took place and has set the police hard
at work to arrive a the truth.

1t also developed today that lust two
hours before the tragedy Potts had
trouble with an unknown man in front
of the Forsyth building at Luckie and
Forsyth streets, and that Harper. act
ing as peacemaker. prevented a fight bv
leading Potts away, At that time Har-
per and Potts seemed to be on the
friendliest of terms The police are
trying to find this third man. In order
to learn from him just what took place
before the tragedy
According to G. w. Bailey. OF g. SnAn-
Ger street, night Waterman in the For
syth building, Harper. Potts and two
other men had been in the Atlanta cl,,b
in that building and all were drinking
Harper, Potts and the man with whom
Potts was about TO fight came down nm

waited on the sidewalk for the fourth
man, who came down later.
The two men, whose names are as
vet unknown, became involved in dis
pute on the sidewalk, Bailey saws and
one Of them, a large man, Knocked down
the fourth man, who was much smaller
in size. Potts is said to have inter
fered and was about to engage in
fight with the large man when Harner

distance away.
Bailey says the small man. who an
peared very Ill from drinking. left his
companions. The trio then remained
about the corner for some time. Bailey

O'Clock
Advance New Theory.
Detectives now advance the theory
that Harper was cut to death by Potts
after they had first FLASHED and had
again made friends This theory is
based on the fact that but the one knife

TRAGEDY when he was stopped by Po-
licemen Garner, Whitley and Snead
