vened today Senator J. c. Beauchamp,
of the Twenty second district, sprang
sensation by introducing a resolution
calling for an investigation of the
state board of health.
DR.. Beauchamp's request for probe
of the health department was based
upon the charges recently made to the
governor against DR.. Roy Harris. sec
rotary of the board of health, The al
legations filed with the governor were
made by DR.. Willis Westmoreland, of
Atlanta, former president of the state
board, and charged DIR. Harris with mis-
conduct Of his official duties.
The health board met and DR.. Har-
ris was completely exonerated. DR..
Beauchamp said today that since the
we're made by one as high
in the medical profession as DR.. West
moreland that a complete legislative
probe should be undertaken.
DR. George Brown, of Atlanta, intro
duced a similar resolution in the house
for an investigation committee
of two from the senate and three from
the house.

Judge Compares Old
Lawsuit to Dickens
Famed Jarndyce Case
Litigation Pending Seventeen
Years at Macon To Be
Ended in Short Time.

MACON, GA, June 2e.-An order was
drawn in the United States court by
Judge Speer today which forecasts the
final settlement of the long spending
Huff litigation within the next six
months.
Seventeen years ago, W, A, HUI, ex-
mayor of Macon. was put in bankruptcy
because ne refused to pay a claim for
81 900 against him, and by dint Of I'M
usual and persistent appeals he has
prevented the case from being finally
closed, notwithstanding that the great
er part of his estate was sold years
ago.
The court has had a fund of 100000
in the bank for three years. The order
drawn today provides for the early pay
ment of all creditors, interest and court
costs. After the, payment of claims and
expenses, the defendant will have
sum, probably as much as
$50, 1000, coming to him.
In passing the order, Judge .Speer
commented that this was one piece of
litigation which could be literally COM
pared with Dickens famous "Jarndyce
versus Jarndyce" case.

No Filibuster On
The Tippins Bill.

The newsiest thing which stirred up
oonversatio around the Smokers club
was the fact that the friends and foes
of the Tippins bill had got together and
agreed not to filibuster. This was good
news to members who had bills to pass
this session and who remembered the
long drawn-out fight on the prohibition
law when the filibuster lasted 40 days
and 40 nights, or Whereabouts, to the
general disgust OF ali concerned except
the fllibusterers themselves. 1t means
that the bill will be passed or defeated
early in the session without blocking
the way of other legislation.
Leaders representing the prohibition
lists who desire to stop the sale of the
near beer now sold in Georgia, and
those who would make it even little
nearer. have agreed to let it go to a
vote. 1t is the first bill on the house
calendar. has been read twice and is
ready for passage. 1t will be taken up
on the Monday after the Fourth of
July. Two days will be permitted for
debate, speeches will be limited, the
time divided between opposing sides,
and the previous question will be called
at a fixed hour

WOUNDED MAN EXHIBITS
NERVE UNDER OPERATION
Frank Mcdonald, Accused of
Cutting, Hunted in Vain
by Police.

Robert L. Stevens, son of Colonel o.
B. Stevens, of so4 East Linden avenue,
and one of the best known young men
in the city, lay at the point of death
in Grady hospital today, the police
hunting in vain for Frank Mcdonald, a
waiter in Durands Edgewood avenue
cafe, who is accused Of having stab
bed the youth in a street fight.
Stevens was taken to the hospital
with gaping wound extending several
inches across his abdomen. Glen Bull
lard, of College Park, who was with
Stevens, made the accusation against
Mcdonald, and the police began a city
wide hunt for the waiter, who disap-
peared Immediately after the cut
ting.
At Grady hospital the physicians said
Stevens had little chance for life,
Stevens gave a remarkable exhibition
of nerve on the operating table, refus-
ing the use OF. an anesthetic He urged
the physicians to keep the AFFAIR SCI
cret from his parents and smiled grim
ly as the gaping wound was sewed to-
gether.
According to Billiards. version of the
shooting, Stevens, Mcdonald and three
other young men stopped in a. cigar
stand on Pryor street 10 get some efga-
rettes.. Stevens and Mcdonald got into
row. No one thought the affair was
at all serious. Stevens displayed a shoe
buttoner as his weapon and McDon-
aid drew a small pearl handled pen
knife.
Out on the sidewalk the argument
was renewed, and Stevens is said to
have slapped Mcdonald across the face.
Mcdonald pulled out his knife and
slashed Stevens across the abdomen.
The wounded youth. gasping in pain,
ran toward the Black apartments, with
several of the party close behind him.
He dashed up two fights of stairs to
the room of a friend, where he fell in
faint.
Policeman ]. D. Fitzpatrick stated he
saw Mcdonald walking back toward
Peachtree street, remarking that 'it
was a shame for a friend Of his to have
been cut that way"
Robert Stevens is one of the best
known young men in Atlanta. He is
graduate of the North Georgia Agricul
tursl college, at Dahlonega, and also
prominent in state college circles

PARIS is THREATENED
WITH A BREAD FAMINE

PARIS. June 26-Paris is threatened
with bread famine. The price Of
flour Is $14S0 a sack, the sacks con-
tanning 1877 kilogrammes, the average
price of which during the last ten years
was only $40
The prospect is alarming. because
most of the harvesting in France is
done in the middle of July so that a
new supply of -four can not be obtained
until August. AS the government main
tains custom duties of seven francs on
foreign wheat and is allowing a re-
bate only under conditions difricult of
fulfilment, it is expected that the price
of bread during the next six weeks will
go up 20 per cent.
